I don’t know if they could descend from MEO into the atmosphere and not eventually vaporize from heat ablation before slowing enough to re-enter. Copper ain’t gonna withstand those temps.
Even if they did, the chance of one of them landing on someone’s eye is so astronomically low as to be functionally 0% - but that’s not the point! The point is to jokingly play into someone’s unreasonable fear of orbital copper needles! Work with me here.
