Books with white pages don't emit light, a screen with white backgrounds does
It's like staring into a lamp.
I like to think of it as staring into a fire
I just put the brightness down
The sun at dusk will still burn your eyes.
I beg to differ 😎

Hah I love that song
Ask Trump about that, he knows better.
Checkmate libtard! (sorry)
Stare into the lamp and it'll stare back
Edit: also, u crazy, its just a lamp! —Ikea guy
Yep. And a soft, warm desk lamp is a lot easier in a dark room that a bright white one.
I've been reading a dark mode book on an OLED screen and it's such a treat. The background is pitch black but I crank the brightness up so there is a high contrast and the white letters look really sharp. It actually makes it easier to read
Unless it's an e-ink screen... then, it doesn't emit light
And these also don't need a dark mode.
They do reflect it, though...
As someone with sensory issues, absolutely they do. I used to struggle so hard in school when I was supposed to stare at white paper in a well-lit room. I'm not sure if most people notice just how fucking bright paper can be xD
Yeah for whatever reason, textbook paper always has a glossy finish to it. Combine that with bright overhead fluorescent lights in a school and I could see how that could be irritating as fuck.
Other types of written material don't seem to have a glossy sheen like works of fiction and dictionaries. Do you still have issues with those or no?
I'm with you. I've been using invert colors before dark mode became cool. If only I could do it in real life...
That's it, downvote the guy even though he is right: https://www.pa.uky.edu/~sciworks/light/preview/color4aa.htm#:~:text=White%20objects%20look%20white%20because,wavelengths%3B%20the%20rest%20they%20absorb.
Im waiting for someone to argue something about shrapnel vs clean wounds.
Depends, if I'm being executed I'd rather have the direct fire
Smh. There were two options, and flamethrower was not one of them /s
Not with that attitude.
Plus doing dark mode with a physical book requires a crap ton of ink - it would be very wasteful.
Everything refects lights, that's how our eyes see!
emit ≠ reflect
I think the point is that reflecting is ultimately just a form of emitting
it's possible to have harsh brightly lit white paper, as well as dim white screens
