On my phone the background of Lemmy (not the photo) is black. And what is clearly gold in the photos doesn't look anything like black.
I know the dress is blue and black and that's what pisses me off. I can't even see blue and black if I try.

I don't get it. It's clearly white and gold. How can anyone see black and blue?

I recall seeing pictures of the dress in other light that make it obvious, and when you compare them next to each other i can see what's going on, but yeah by default my eyes 100% see white/gold here.

Friggin hate that dress.
Always saw it as white/gold first but after a few seconds I perceive it as blue/black and then it stays that way.
I can't remember the pairs of colors that are supposed to be. Were blue/black and golden/white?

I only see white and gold, I don't understand the blue black folks.
I can see the blue and black clearly when i tilt the phone screen away from my face... I always see white and gold first, even though I know it isn't.
