You know, they invented viagra-flavoured Ice Cream for those under-performing in bed.

(Blame Japan)

Oh, Japan...

I guess the Japanese don't need to get a prescription first (or go through some shady spamming dealer).

Actually it's because Newton liked the number 7 and wanted there to be 7 colours.

It's possible that Newton's "blue" was really cyan and his "indigo" was really blue.

Well that fucking sucked.

Yep.

Being a god-fearing rural school, you also couldn't say "Jesus Christ".

And outside of that place I met someone who was seriously offended by the word "crap"

Yep. She was all insulted, begged me to use "crud" instead. Um, who says "crud"?

Scrolling layouts were once a thing as well. I can see how those became annoying, as you have to scroll not only the thread but each post.

Also, re violet:

Violet and purple are different wavelengths of light (violet is beyond blue in the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas purple is a combination of blue and red light)...but due to a quirk of human vision, we see them as exactly the same.

Dammit, SOTN really needs to stop crashing.

I don't know if it's the emulator (pSX) or the game ISO that's making it freeze up indefinitely.

Apparently some humans are tetrachromatic and can see a 4th fundamental colour besides red, green, and blue.

I wonder what that would look like to them.

I'm not sure. I think so. But do they see yellow the same way we do, or do they see it as some unimaginable colour?

Ah.

There does seem to be a common misconception that the primary colours are "red, yellow, and blue". What they really mean are magenta, yellow, and cyan, the primary colours of pigments (subtractive mixing; all colours together make black), and the ones seen in printer cartridges.

Light uses "additive mixing" (all colours together make white) and its primaries are red, green, and blue. I actually had a teacher who got this wrong.

How is your vision?

Mine is abysmally poor, my eye doctor was appalled at how bad it was at age 24. I got glasses when I was 12 and couldn't see things on the board (I'm nearsighted). I wonder if I'll go blind before I die...

I don't know my "20/whatever" number, next time I get an eye exam (gah I hate those things) I should ask.

Used to be my right eye was better, now my right eye sees total crap and my left eye is better.

I can see ultrared and infraviolet (aka orange and blue, respectively)

When I was younger and saw the word "infrared" I didn't notice that the last 3 letters were the same as the colour red, I thought it was like "you take some light and you 'infrare' it, now it's 'infrared'." Rhymes with paired.

Almost everyone in my family needs glasses. Some are legally blind. The older people like my parents need bi/tri/multifocals.

Argh, I hate those, speaking as a customer.

I don't want to have to track down an employee because I'm buying cheap $15 headphones.

Yep, that's probably why children's vitamin pills are flavoured. I guess adults are supposed to just suck it up though. No fair.

Cough syrup, on the other hand, tastes horrible whether flavoured or not. There is no way to mask that awful taste.

I've tasted oxidized iron before. When I was a child, I would put my jacket in my mouth. You know the wierd taste of blood like when mouth bleeds? I believe that taste comes iron.

---

So have I.

To me, blood tastes like a combination of iron and salt, from the times my gums have bled. No, I'm not a vampire.

I guess that's her obsession of the week. Like Windows ME was last week.

I have a fairly high pain tolerance (except for acid reflux AAAAAAAAARGH) so often I literally won't notice I've been cut until I see the blood.

OK, not really in 7-day cycles, but she does obsess over things to a huge degree.

Am I a cause of your pain? I feel like all I do is piss people off and make things worse all the time...
