I feel like we should put a rest to the term “breaking the internet.”

Am I the only one here completely out of the loop?

[-] nomadwannabe@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 year ago

Yeah nothing viral has really ever broken the internet.

Ellen Degenerate’s Oscar tweet sort of broke Twitter briefly, I can’t think of much else.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 year ago

Nowadays Twitter breaks itself spontaneously, no celeb needed

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

There was that CDN that went down a couple years ago, that literally broke the internet briefly

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

...aaand hearty handshake!

[-] countstex@feddit.dk 2 points 1 year ago

You'd do it for Hedy Lamarr!

[-] nbafantest@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Facebook fucking up their BGP 2 years ago broke the internet for like 1/3 of the world

[-] Ktheone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

And Gangnam style broke the youtube view counter too, but your point stands

[-] rynzcycle@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Which is less impressive considering a gentle breeze can break Twitter now.

[-] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

On the same topic, the Will Smith/Chris Rock Oscar slap pretty much saturated the internet for a few days

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 year ago

True, but the point is that didn't break it

[-] outer_spec@lemmy.studio 1 points 1 year ago

A Homestuck flash broke Newgrounds once

[-] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

The internet never breaks, it only splits

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 47 points 1 year ago

So black and blue, in the end, then.

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

With a little red too.

[-] victron@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Orange is the new black and blue.

[-] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

in the end, then

What they did on the honeymoon is their business.

[-] NoName@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

Actually it's silver and bronze

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's blue and gold. I don't know why everyone else sees it wrong.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

Is his wife's name Yanny or Laurel?

[-] timelighter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Green needle

[-] Addv4@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Im just reading the article, and remembering the whole domestic abuse campaign the dress produced. Think this just really drove the point home for sure.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 16 points 1 year ago

Still couldn't agree on the colour of it, eh?

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

That escalated quickly.

[-] Brochetudo@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

the people seeing black and blue should use a color picker and find out for themselves

[-] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago

I actually did use a color picker when this was first popular about a decade ago. It's black and blue.

[-] sarsaparilyptus@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

What's going wrong here where you seem unfamiliar with even the concept of white balance and/or color temperature being off in a photograph? You've seen it happen on your own cell phone camera.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Petite see colors differently and moods can even change how they're perceived.

Fun well supported theory: it's thought the last color humanity noticed was blue. The sky up until a certain point in history were often described as colors other than blue even on supposed clear sunny days.

I'll try to find the actual paper on it, it's actually pretty fascinating.

[-] SkyeStarfall 1 points 1 year ago

Not just a photograph, but the monitor as well. Monitors are not always well calibrated.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago
[-] sznio@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I see cyan/gray, I guess others see white/pink?

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 year ago

Pink for sure

[-] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What are the options. I see like a creamy white and shiny green

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Pink w/ white trim
