Reply to comment by allenout in TIL about split brain theory, which explains that a person's brain hemispheres cannot share information with each other if the corpus callosum is severed. by Scruffy_Nerf_Hoarder
I wonder if pirates could file for disability.

Fun fact, pirate eye patches weren't to cover open eye sockets (though I'm sure that was a decent secondary use)
Eye patches were commonly used by sailors to keep one eye adjusted to dark vision above deck, so when they went below deck they woudn't have to wait for night vision.

you can also get the same effect by keeping one eye closed until you're back in the dark, eyepatches were more practical back then tho since they went on deck so often
