I feel like I have a deep reliance on society and technology, because I can't fucking see without glasses and I'm too scared to do Lasik lol (also expensive).

Any glass? Any grinder? Can I find a broken window and start sanding it with sandpaper, as an extreme example?

    Some glass is many sheets glued together, that could be trickier to work with

    Thick glass that's not tempered will be the easiest to work with

    Pretty much any piece of glass and a series of sandpapers going from low to high grit will eventually work if you know what you're doing

    Yes, provided you have a way to polish it back to transparent again, after changing the shape.

    i feel like there's some sort of childhood song about the dangers of silicosis we were supposed to learn but praise mandela didn't
