    Default Floaters

    Anyone get those annoying little dots and lines in their vision that trail your vision wherever you look?
    They're called floaters.

    I've been noticing them quite a lot recently. Usually they don't bother me, but when they do stick out (usually looking at a fairly plain surface) they make me feel like laughing because they remind me of this Family Guy clip.

    Anyone else get these?

    All the time, but especially when I squint. Doesn't bother me too much. I like to make them move by flicking my eyes.

    Yeah, everybody gets them. Unless they suddenly appear in large numbersm there isn't anything wrong. I see them when I look at the sky, or any uniformly light coloured object.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    I thought the thread was about turds that don't sink!

    Seen a fair few of them in my day.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Thread's on a lock-route, but whatever.

    Floaters mean you have a lot of oil in your diet. Generally, enough to make feces float is too much.

    I have never in my life experienced this phenomenon. I always wondered what that Family Guy joke was all about. Now I know!

    I fear this thread has reached such a dizzying height of excellence that all other threads will seem mundane and cheap by comparison. In the hopes that the shining brilliance of this thread will not blind all Orgahs to the rest of the board, I will reluctantly impose teh lock.
