Okay explain this one to me. Is this because of people looking at the eclipse?
There was (or i guess is?) a trend on the internet of people making videos talking about how the sun isn't the same color as it was during their childhood. The implication being that the government is secretly changing the sun or something idk. It's not big where I'm from, instead people around here make posts about how the fog is different now.
@gork is the fog different now?
They're turning the damned fog GAY
they're turning the frogs gay and the fogs gray!
It depends on where you live.
Our perception of colour does change as we age because our eye lenses yellow.
Oh so that's the reason for eye bleach!
Yes, I still remember how vibrant blue the sky used to be and how golden the grass in autumn was.
My perception of color is very slightly different in each eye and I never thought to look up why that might be the case, this might explain it
After googling it it's probably just cone cells not having a perfectly uniform distribution, which is a weird and cool thing to think about its effects on perception
Also it's wild how much people's anecdotes lean towards the same "left eye cool right eye warm" layout
the fog thing sounds like it can be explained by the switch to LED streetlights
Oh good. I thought it was eye damage but this is much worse
