Alinor@lemmy.worldtoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does looking directly at the sun damage your eyes?

1 year agoThe sun is still the sun in this comparison. Its not like “you” is the source of light here. The back of your eye is the ant, and the lens of your eye is the magnifying glass.
I feel this is a false equivalency. Toys are easy, and you often know if the other person would like it or not, in which case you get them the toy, and not a gift card. The statment being made here is money vs gift cards, not money vs actual items.
The comparison is off. A better comparison would be:
“Here, kid. Here’s 50 buck to go to this restaurant I think you’d like” “Why not get me a gift card? / Thanks, but I dont like that restaurant. Thankfully I can spent it in others, whereas I wouldn’t be able to with a gift card”.
