Ok is this post some sort of trick? I opened up lemmy, saw it white and gold for the first time in my life, then I took a shower, now it is blue and black once more.
I swear it was blue and black this morning, but now it's white and gold!
ITT: people telling other people they're trolling rather than accepting that humans can perceive reality differently, and the own perception is never objective.
10 years? No way
No, what happened is that a bunch of people were shown to be objectively wrong about what color it was, and couldn't let it go.
That's a boring description because there's no curiosity why they were wrong
Oh yeah, the gold and white dress. I remember some people were acting crazy saying it is blue and white.
I still only see white/gold even though the actual dress was black/blue
It was always black and blue, but I've always found it fun to switch back and forth between which color combination it was. It was also a fun phenomena, but I don't like that it was ten years+ ago now. Time moves a bit too fast.
The dress is a bistable picture, similar to the Spinning Dancer, which you can consciously reverse the direction of spin with some practice.
To see the dress as blue-black, I first look at the black dress in the bottom-left corner, then shift gaze to the main dress when colour is established.
To see the dress as white-gold, I first look at the sunny regions on the right, then move gaze across, when the main dress goes to white-gold.
It may help to cover or mask the opposite region, when focusing on one side.
For detail, 10 years ago I saw this as white-gold and did not change from that perception. Did not know what all the fuss was about this dress. Today, I saw it as white-gold initially, but 10 minutes later, after two friends saw it as blue-black, I also saw it as blue-black and could not shake it.
Sorry but it's white and gold. The white only gets a blue hue due to the ambient lighting.
And it never is black!
Ten years? I remember clearly that I argued about this on my friends mailing list
This is flicking between white and gold and black and blue each time I scroll past it.
It's pale blue and gold, right?
