I've not seen the movie, what's the deal?

Sandra Bullock wore a blindfold and everyone thought that was cool.

Basically, put a blindfold on and attempt to do daily tasks.

It's been a thing since literally forever, the Bird Box challenge is just the same ol' blindness challenge, but revived by the thriller horror movie Bird Box.

Is the internet so bored with certain memes and challenges that they'll pick up anything to make it go viral no matter how boring and dumb it is? Granted I said the same thing about a number of viral memes and trends so maybe I'm not the right person for this.

Reminds me of the incredibly stupid Tide Pod challenge. I agree with your assessment.

The true question was still left unanswered though...

It is clarified that blind people are completely immune to the monsters/demons in Bird Box, but what about people who can still see, but very poorly (near-sighted, far-sighted, colorblind, etc...)?

If you can see you're getting attacked.

You can only see/be in darkness in order to keep them at bay. (So yes, blind people are fine, near-sighted/far-sighted, colorblind, etc... are not)

I mean not everything the internet picks up on is bad... okay a lot of it is, but there is some quality content.

I'm sure Bird Box is a fine... Movie? Series?

I'm disappointed, I genuinely believed 2019 wouldn't be a complete disaster. It was supposed to be perfect.

It's only been eight days and I got too involved with my church. It's not a good sign.

I get to tell complete strangers they're going to hell. Not the most enjoyable use of my time.
