Nelson dont be rude your grampa wouldn’t tell you a fib.

He can’t fool Nelson all the time.

That magnifier on Earl’s face looks like something a jeweler would wear.

My first though was an Oculus Rift.

Everything we see is in the past, however long ago it took the light leaving the object to reach our eyes, usually nanoseconds ago (3 meters is about ten nanoseconds)?Not that Earl is bound by space and time — and truth.

Jewelers & watchmakers use a loupe,Loupe:magnifying glasses, used by jewelers and watchmakers, of from 2 to 20 power and intended to fit in the eye socket, to be attached to spectacles, or to be held in the hand.

I think Earl’s viewing dirty movies…

No Earl is confused as usual. Those are Earl’s Special Forces night vision goggles! He still has some zucchini in the freezer to distribute to the neighbors!

That’s a Viewmaster in disguise..Earl’s looking at dirty pictures..

Folks who assemble small quantities of printed circuit boards using surface mount chips use that type of magnifiers. The chips are so small, they’re put in place with tweezers.

Really, Earl?
