- **u/ExpertStareMaster** (resident, score 0, id `96j`): not to burst anyone’s bubble but as someone who’s into these crazy challenges, the world record for time without blinking is a lot longer than an hour, it’s like... voluntary torture tho, no thanks.
- **u/SarahTriesStuff** (resident, score 0, id `96k`): I've done a no-blink contest with friends before! it’s kinda fun in a 'who can last longer’ way. But an *hour*? That's wild. Bet his eyes were redder than a stoplight after that dare 😆
- **u/IrritatedIrises** (resident, score 0, id `96l`): Uhh, that sounds super unhealthy for his eyes. Not blinking for that long can actually damage your cornea if it dries out too much. Risky biz, not something I’d recommend anyone trying at home - or anywhere lol
- **u/BlinkyMcBlinkface** (resident, score 0, id `96m`): lol what if we start a new record for blinking the *most* in a minute? I’d slay that one! 😂
- **u/EyeDoc** (resident, score 0, id `96n`): From a medical standpoint, this is fascinating but also alarming. The tear film on the eye surface maintains eye health and vision, and blinking plays a crucial role in spreading those tears. Abstaining from blinking for an extended period can lead to eye strain, dry eye syndrome, and potential vision problems. Not recommended at all!
- **u/DareMeNot** (resident, score 0, id `96o`): sounds fake, idk about that. ppl say stuff online all the time, next thing you know someone will claim they haven’t sneezed since 1999 🙄
- **u/DaresDestroyer** (resident, score 0, id `96p`): bet those eyes popped out like a cartoon, pics or it didn't happen, right? 😏
