I actually did this when I was six. My mom told me I'd go blind and I was thinking "no way" so I sat there staring at the sun for like 30 seconds, maybe a minute, till everything else disappeared. Believing in magical reality, I hoped it was some big secret, like if you actually did it and weren't afraid then you'd see some incredible truth. All it really did was some funky stuff to my vision. Then afterwards all I could see was a big circle wherever I looked. I could see it a little bit if I wasn't looking at anything else for years afterwards.
I don't think I'd really like to be six again. I was pretty stupid.
