I'm pretty sure you can still fly a plane even in black and white. WW2 pilots did. /s

Color was invented by the tumblr gay agenda in 2013

Good thing you told us you were being sarcastic

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You might hate the /s, but it's really easy for peolple to miss the sarcasm (no matter how obvious it is!) when everything is in text.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But but...that's half the fun. Someone starts raging and every onlooker can clearly see they didn't catch the sarcasm.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Maybe...

It gets less funny if 80% of the comments are missing the sarcasm/joke though. It can happen even when the sarcastic remark is obvious (usually because the first reply took it seriously, which set the trend for the subsequent discussions)

That's why I put a /joke or /s mark preemptively in my comments.

Ohh I get it, they're both wrong because there is actually no number visible!

I think I can make out a 21 with some squinting.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago (7 children)

It’s a 74. But parts of the 4 are a different shade so you see 71 if your color vision is different.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (8 children)

so you see 71 if your color vision is different.

I have mild Deuteranopia and there is no hint of a 7.

21 or maybe 81.

Dodge made a Viper with the color "yorange". You can tell the difference in this photo

Is it bad that I glanced at it and also thought it was 71, and had to actually consciously pay attention to the colours to see the 4?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No I think that's by design. I also thought it was 71 at first it just takes a bit more time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

It's definitely by design. The 1 is dark green and the rest of the 4 is olive

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I can see the 1 but at first glance it's definitely 74. The olive colour is much closer to green than orange.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I see it as 21. I am colour blind.

Reminds me of that one post where op discovered he was colourblind when he sorted characters by colour and it being obviously wrong.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I had a moment where I believed I was colorblind because I was toying around with iOS accessibility settings and one of the colour filters looked exactly the same enabled as disabled when I tested it. Good times.

Not colorblind.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't say anything for me, it's an odd shape of different coloured orbs and yes i am confirmed colour blind. Red green, i keep forgetting what it's called.

Orange car and 21. But, I was told that I'm little colorblind. I can't drive train, tram and trolley car

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Orange and 21 and I am colour blind. I drive a tram.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Good for you. I guess, it depends on country and law.

Can I just tell you how much I hate those Ishihara tests? I don't see shit in that OP one (which was exactly what I expected).

Once upon a time, Panasonic did a print ad for one of their new color printers that was a dot test that read "Panasonic", with nothing else on the page. Not super-effective advertising - although I suppose color-blind folks weren't necessarily the target demographic...

"I hate those tests because they do their job!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Yes, they do.

I kinda hate them because non-colorblind people generally say one of a few things when conversations about them come up: "OMG do you really not see any numbers on there? It's so OBVIOUS", "Wow... so what color is this [insert random obvious thing]?", or "So you're colorblind? How do you deal with traffic lights? LOL".

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not sure if blind, colourblind, or memeing...

on a similar note, i hate those vision tests with all the letters on it. can't see shit, blurry as fuck. who invented this dogshit font

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (3 children)

That 74 is kind of tricky and my vision is “normal”

This reminds me of a time I was taking one of these colorblind tests. The person administering it was flipping (way too fast) through the numbers and I was reading them fine. A trickier one came up which I could very clearly read, like this 71/74 one, and I said (because fucker was flipping way too fast) “71… no, 74 actually.” He marked it wrong. It felt like a real life Seinfeld incident after that where I kind of stopped the whole test and was saying basically, as nicely as I could, “hey. I said 74. Mark that correct.” MFer didn’t even vocalize a response. I can’t remember but I think he did like two more numbers, said I passed with whatever number of tests with one incorrect. I had to get my eyesight examined after that (this was for some pilot shit. Like a physical) and I told the doctor and he kind of shrugged it off too like “you passed it. It doesn’t matter.” IT MATTERS TO ME GODDAMNIT

Thanks for triggering this random traumatic event from over a decade ago.

It’s ok, you’re safe here despite your disability.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Goddamnit.

Now you’re getting a followup story of how such a small incident fucked with me years later.

I was with my (at the time) gf in our apartment and I don’t remember the exact specifics, but I was sitting looking at the TV straight-on ie the proper viewing angle. She was sitting on our floor looking up at the TV at like maybe a 45 degree angle.

I can’t remember the show or what it was, but on the screen there were some pastel colors. All I mentioned was like “oh, pastel colors. You like those colors.” She was drawing at the time, so it was somewhat relevant. Anyway she looks at the TV, from the bad angle still, and snaps at me “those aren’t pastel you fucking idiot!” And it was like that spinning shit in a movie of me in my head like “no…no…that test was wrong!” Normally we kinda went back and forth like this. Kinda like Vinny and his gf in that movie “my cousin Vinny” but less toxic and less Italian (same thing?). This time though I was just like “but… uh… the angle…” she kinda kept saying I was wrong for a few minutes before I finally tested it myself and then told her to stand and all was revealed. I was not an idiot after all.

And that goddamn test was wrong!

Okay I saw 21 but I am colorblind

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm not color blind and never realized that these are made to show different numbers for those who are and are not. Never paid any attention to it, but now I can clearly see the 74 is made of two different colors/shades. Huh.
