The shrimp are holier than we are because they cannot see the devil's color (it's pink 🩷)

ITT: people saying pink (light red) when they mean magenta

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I would say magenta is a different color than pink. But I was just making a joke about how there's light bike and light yellow but if you add white to red it's a different color

Ruined my day tbh

I don't think of it as drama so much as docucomedy.

Isn't it amazing how birds reverse engineered airplanes?

Disappointed. But didn't the have receptors for differently polarized light? What about that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Polarization filters on retinal photoreceptor won't make light wavelength (color) be perceived different, it just changes the conditions in which it's detected. If those polarized cells would cover unique colors compared to the rest, it would kinda resemble the highlight effect in Mirror's Edge, where something with a different angle than the surroundings stand out (sudden color gradient)

Color me appointed, at least we're not missing out on fresh new colors!

This is really cool, but it's also over a decade old info. I remember growing up in awe of Mantis shrimp and then, as with all wonder, this was removed from my life in adulthood. :)
