I had to find a picture of this 2017 article again because it's just so iconic.
I'm confused. I thought Aragorn was the king.
Man, they typecasted everyone for this movie.
The fuck is this?? You think you can mock Twitter like you didn't just copy their shitty UI? Trying to become Twitter while simultaneously making fun of them ain't doing what you think it is. It's a pathetic attempt at pandering and I'm not buying.
Moon Pattern
… wait, something’s not right with the caption here. That can’t be the same time each day, that’s not how moonrise times work – moonrise at the new moon and at the full moon are almost twelve hours apart.
Okay, I have googled the image and found a more precise explanation: this is the calculated position of the moon at intervals of 24 hours and 41 minutes, thus capturing the way the time of moonrise drifts backward over the course of the lunar month. Further, this composite represents the 28-day cycle but actually took a year to capture, owing to weather difficulties.
Still an amazing composite photo, and deserves proper credit.
we love luna so much
Every time I see a post about colour blindness I remember the one biological flex I have, which is that I have tetrachromacy and can see more colour than most people
can i please see the different shades of green? ive been really into green lately
Imagine two shades of green that look identical to most people but one of them is actually slightly more yellowish and people think you're crazy when you point it out
Basically it just means I have an extra type of cone that most people don't have, but I don't know the science in detail.
I can't see beyond the visual light spectrum, but I can distinguish colour variations within it better than most people, or more of the "between" shades as you said. Greens are the most obviously affected because what we label "green" takes up a large chunk of that spectrum (where we divide visible frequencies scientifically is arbitrary, and where we label them in common speech is language and culture based).
Like most things affecting colour perception, it's genetic; my mother and grandmother are also tetrachromats. IIRC there's some evidence for tetrachromats being more sensitive to lights and having poor night vision, though (both of which definitely track for me), but again I'm just recalling what my mom and my optometrist have said, I'm not an expert.
My favourite thing that's happened as a result is me taking one of the "sort these 300 swatches in order of a hue" or whatever tests, getting 100% and completely fucking up the stats for my demographic.
"average person sees 10 million colours" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person sees 1 million colours. Colours Georg, who lives in cave & sees 100,000,000 colours, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
