As a colorblind person, fuck whoever decided on the colors for this image. I hope they meet a very angry porcupine.

As a dog, I'm wondering why you posted the exact same picture.

[–] i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I know your comment was a joke, but am I right in saying dogs see monochromatic pictures in yellow and blue as opposed to black and white?

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Interesting, everyone says they see black and white, but of course it doesn't have to be that, just monochrome where the filter can be two colours best suited for a dog.

Can you provide some detail on your comment? As a non colorblind person, I would like to understand how this image could have been modified to include our colorblind brethren.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

I am red-green colorblind. So certain shades of colors like that I literally can't see. Blue and purple are issues, and certain shades of yellow and green.

In the image above, I cannot really see a difference in the extremes of the legend. The gradient is definitely not helping. I can see the difference when put near each other. Like Mississippi and New Mexico are clearly on opposite sides, but I would not be able to tell you which direction either leaned because I can't see what the legend is showing. Likewise most of the states mean nothing to me since they're part of the gradient itself going towards colors I can't distinguish a direction from. Without the numbers, this map would mean nothing to me.

Simply put, pick colors on opposite sides of the color wheel when trying to show differences like this with gradients and you're more likely to to okay. Don't pick colors that are next to each other. TRhis might as well have been a blue/purple gradient with an extra z-dimension for time or some crap,

It's not gray, almost no one actually sees in greyscale, despite the jokes. It's always just certain shades the eyes can't distinguish differences from.

A good example for other common colors, is peanut butter looks like a shade of like greenish tan or maybe dark khaki, not brown as most people describe it to me.

A decent resource to explain visually for those that can actually see the full range of color: https://enchroma.com/blogs/beyond-color/how-color-blind-see

What a fantastic insult!

[–] Butters@lemmywinks.com 7 points 1 year ago

At least there are numbers.

I think this does a pretty good job for color blind people.

No, didn’t you see the article that it leans too much on heteronormative ideology?

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (6 children)

LOL so the right crazies hate it because it's too woke, the left crazies hate it because it isn't woke enough, but most people enjoy it because it slides somewhere in the middle?

The South needs to sit down with itself and discuss their issues.

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 65 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least 250 years of not doing that so far...

They did, and decided to blame it all on those "darn liberal city slickers with their fancy book learning".

Source: Right now they're literally blaming books for their problems, and are banning and burning them.


Conservatives all blame someone or something else for their problems, and even dismiss them exisiting until it happens to themselves or someone close to them.

Abortions are the devils work and anyone who aborts should rot in hell and misery. Except for my little Angel that made a honest to god mistake that shouldn't ruin the rest of her life.

[–] Sluggles@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

As a member of the south, I can say with confidence: You do NOT want the south to sit down and discuss anything... The results would be disastrous.

[–] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] AlaskaMan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

And the vicious cycle of raising stupid bigots.

And inbreeding.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

As someone from the south. This will never happen. It's a matter of social pride that a southern man never admits he has a problem

While most of the states with zero are searching for both equally, I get the feeling that Wyoming is zero because no one searches for either.

[–] kalahlora@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, it's because Wyoming doesn't exist

Probably not surprising tht Oppenheimer is furthest ahead in New Mexico. But why is Mississippi so into Barbie?

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 56 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I assume because Mississippi is so horrible they need escapism to mentally survive. It's also possible there are more families with young children in the South.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Barbie looks like their hot cousin

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

It would be interesting to see a demographic breakdown of who is going to Barbie in MS.

Another possibility is that they're not watching Barbie more, just Oppenheimer less.

Los Alamos is worth a visit. The lab is locked down (a road goes through it, you are not supposed to take pictures), but there are a couple really neat museums. One of the retired age volunteers at the museum asked us how deep of a discussion we wanted. He went down a deeep rabbit hole of chemistry and mechanical bomb design. It was obvious he had strong knowledge of how atom bombs worked. It was glorious. And the boys boarding school is also neat.

This is Google trends, so it's not necessarily trending because they like the movie. It could be hate trending cuz of the "feminism"

I only know that Oppenheimer is a movie because of that IMAX post the other day, but I now have to ask: there's a Barbie movie?

[–] jossbo@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep and honestly the trailer is great.

[–] vistencluse@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I've seen the whole movie yesterday and I think it's pretty awesome

People watching the movie like it is a documentary about their neighborhood

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

Honestly though, how many of us would know about how the government completely screwed the people in New Mexico living near the Trinity blast site, without movies like Oppenheimer and Sunshine?

https://sourcenm.com/2022/06/09/biden-extends-radiation-compensation-fund-but-nm-downwinders-still-seek-help/

They have good reason to watch the movie and keep the story in the public eye, because the clock runs out in 2024.

Ah yes, the two genders

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I don't get it. I know nothing of these two movies or what liking one or the other means.

[–] TootSweet@latte.isnot.coffee 7 points 1 year ago

2023 was the year Mississippi declared war on New Mexico.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago
