One of my friends really wanted to try it because he was sure it wouldn’t be that bad. We all ended up trying it and yeah, it was pretty fuckin bad.

Lol yes the benefit for my visually impaired brethren, constant eye protection. Sometimes I wish I could wear glasses because I’ve had too much random shit get in my eye.

One time I was in the river and got a tiny bark needle in my eye. I was in the middle of Hicksville, USA and I couldn’t get it out at all so I eventually had to go to the ER. Absolutely one of the most excruciating pains I’ve ever felt. Every motion of the eye was like a stab to the brain. I’ve actually been waterboarded before and I think it might’ve been even worse, just in terms of the consistency of the pain. None of their machines were working at the hospital and they couldn’t get it out so they just gave me a bunch of antibiotics. I had that needle in my eye for over 12 hours until I was eventually able to get it out at home.

Remember as well that protons and neutrons are not indivisible. They are made of quarks that ‘rest’ on the gluon field. Iirc a proton is 2 up and 1 down and a neutron is 2 down and 1 up. They can very easily be converted between each other by simply exchanging an up quark for a down quark or vice versa. So yes the 3 quarks together do form what could be thought of as a marble, but it doesn’t have a surface or membrane layer it is simply a collection of quarks in the gluon field. Think of it like putting floating magnets in the ocean. Except much more complicated.
