    I hate to keep bringing this up, but I don’t think it counts as a “shit post” if you’re just posting an actual real thing that you found in the news

    I’m pretty sure that’s just a regular news post

            So why even bother with it then? If we’re just posting “anything and everything” wherever we feel like it then I might as well be back on Reddit 🤮

                I see… So since you clearly don’t understand what a “shitpost” is, I should block the entire community and go away. That’s some real next level thinking right there 🤯

      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.

            Man that was trippy. Clicked my inbox and saw your message. Clicked it to reply and it brought the post back up. For the briefest if moments I saw dark blue/almost black and gold then it went right back go basically white. Like the image itself blinked but I have to assume it was my brain briefly interpreting it one way then reverting.

      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.

        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.
