I'm some kind of red green colorblind and I can't read it. I assume it says something nice about my people, yeah?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 97 points 3 months ago

Yes, it's very respectful.

But in a nice way.

[-] Raptor_007@lemmy.world 68 points 3 months ago

Dammit, red / green colorblind and I’m not able to read it either. I even took off my glasses, which sometimes helps. I can tell there’s something but I can’t make it out.

Very good sir, but that's neither relevant or helpful to the poor colourblind fellow.

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 6 points 3 months ago

What? Just because they're colorblind they have no use for a penis? That's ableism.

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

I couldn't read it either. Thanks for the penis, friend.

[-] banazir@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago

I bet you say that to all the colorblind people.

[-] jj4211@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

For those like myself who cannot see I cranked up the saturation and shifted the hue here so we don't miss out on the fun.

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 25 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'm mildly colorblind and I can figure it out with some effort. I can kinda see a ever slightly variation and can trace it with my finger to figure out the shape of the letters.

What's "DEHI5"?

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 19 points 3 months ago

Serious: it has a word "penis" printed on it.

The brother is very fond of british bin lorries.

[-] Codandchips@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Not many people will get that reference

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

Which kind of colorblindness? Because I'm red-green colorblind (the most common kind) and I can read it.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

My dad is red green color blind. I just showed it to him and he couldn’t read it.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

There are differing scales of deuteronopia (what red/green color blindness is called). The more overlap between the ranges your red and green cones' wavelength reactivity, the worse the colorblindness. Mine is not super bad, just enough to be annoying sometimes.

It does appear that it's a red/green color blindness thing, but perhaps the camera picked up the colors slightly differently than it would actually appear in person.

So, even though you can manage to read it on your screen, you might actually not be able to make it out in person. 🤷‍♂️

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

That would be my guess. It is slightly obscured, but I can definitely make it out.

Please correct my ignorance here - coloured reflections and colourblindness together is interesting!

If this pillow in OP is similar to one I have, even though its a green to black sequin pillow, the green sequins reflect various shades and almost colours, depending on angle and how the light catches it.

Is it possible that if the pillow was completely face on, it would be within your blindness range, but tiled slightly the colour shifts to a range you can see?

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Well, first, there is not a range for which I am "blind" to greens/reds, as in I would only see greyscale or something. Rather, there is a range of overlap for which both my green and red cones in my retina react to the light and so I essentially see both green and red, making the colors hard to distinguish. (Fun fact. As a result of this, I actually see slightly more blue that the average person.)

But when it comes to the green sequins, the tone/brightness of the light shouldn't matter. It is the frequency of the light, not its relative intensity (above a certain level), that determines which cones are activated. So if they are all different shades of the same hue, they may fall into that overlap. But if it is partially reflecting other colors of light, then yes, the angle of the sequins may change how I am able to perceive the color(s) depending on those reflections.

Uh, shouldn't it be "our" brother? Or are they half's? Brother from one parent's side and sister from the other parent's side?

A+B have brother, B+C have screenshot OP, C+D have sister. So the screenshot OP has a brother and a sister that aren't related to each other.

Then if the brother and sister have a child, can it become a genetically identical twin of the screenshot OP?

Huh.

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 11 points 3 months ago

You’re overthinking this, but it does make for a good story

[-] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 months ago

You're overthinking this way too hard. I like to say to my brother "your mother" and "your father". We're full siblings.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

people usually use "my" with family members. it's more being used to do it from childhood than implying anything regarding the relation.

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

More than one thing can be true. "My brother" "her brother" and "our brother" are all equally valid assuming the three people are siblings.

You completely lost me in that third paragraph, though.

I'm red/green and cannot read it. What's it say?

I'm an analphabet, what does that say?

I was thinking it was a t-rex, horse, or Pikachu. Other comments indicate otherwise.

Interestingly, when I squint, the blue goes away.

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 7 points 3 months ago

Your eye lashes filter out some blue light to help in intense sunlight. When you squint, you "activate" your built-in blue filter sunglasses.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

me too holy crap
