Zoomed right over my head until you made me think again, so... Thanks? I guess...?
Is it so dumb like it's supposed to be deaf lip reading?
I think it's supposed to be : Brownies vs Brown knees.
Not very brown tho.
Captain flies away
But... They're not brown ...
Ohhhhhhhhhhh.
I'm glad you were here, because I never, ever ... Ever would have gotten that.
Yeah I am definitely not picking up what you're all putting down.
The first picture is brownies. The second picture is knees that are not brown, presumably because color blind people wouldn't see brown in the world of this joke. It's not really how color blindness works and, IMHO, not that great of a joke ... But you can make it make sense if you try.
I had to go this far to get it.
🤯
And i fee like it should be ~~brown~~ EEs.
Can someone explain it to me? I don't get it at all, but i'm not a native speaker, and i suspect that i identify the brownies? wrong.
Brownies sounds like brown knees. If you couldn't see color (which isn't actually what colorblindness is, but we're pretending for the sake of the pun), you wouldn't see the brown, so you'd just see knees.
ah i thought those were just shadows or artifacts because of the garbage image resolution.I do have red/green colorblindness tho, which messes with brown tones too, so that didn't help too lol. Thanks to all who answered!
Brow
nies
Also people who like to think of themselves as "not racist" sometimes say things like "I'm colorblind, I don't see race".
Okay, that’s enough Lemmy for today… and it’s only morning, phew
Brown knees
Okay but are those knees really brown? They look kinda pink to me.
its because colorblind people can only see the knees, not the brown
*its because colorblind people can only see the whitenies, not the brown
Spoilers
Dad are you making memes again?
White knees?
Calm down Tonya Harding
was expecting a picture of Blondie.
Brownies without the brown is ease, not knees.
You monster.
