You can buy glasses approved by the American Astrological Society, which independently checked that the glasses were safe. (They’re supposed to meet an ISO standard, but this is a double check.) Also, you can test them at home, by looking at lightbulbs and around your house. If you can see anything that isn’t the emitting source of a bright light (like the actual diode of an LED) then they’re not dark enough.
I got a handful of pairs from ICStars (found on the Astronomical Society website) and checked them with the method you described. Neither myself nor anyone I gave them to experienced any discomfort or eye strain. I was really relieved and super happy!
Not a shill. Just excited I got to see the eclipse in time because of them. (:
I just poked a hole through a dozen or so sheets and held it over another pile of sheets. Trivial and worked well enough for seeing the partial eclipse.
Yeah, I wouldn’t trust any glasses that I could buy
If I was going to view it then I would have built a pinhole projector

Astrological?
The moon is in Scorpio so these are safe bro. Don’t be such a Taurus
Yep!

Yeah I checked the ones a coworker gave me by looking at an LED too bright to not hurt my eyes. Since I couldn’t see it at all I felt safe

I don’t know how I feel about this…
