So I woke up this morning, refreshed my page, and suddenly porn. And gore, and a reaction image. Not even good gore porn either. 0/10 wouldnt view again.

Luckily I was browsing the forums on bus internet so the picture didn't load

[Bohandas]

Some of the shock images were mislabeled too. The thread that he started with the n-word (and "cunt") in the title had the same white girls he posted everywhere else

Welp, I'm probably getting a phonecall from HR today. >.<. Checked the forums when I got in at 7 (about 5 hours ago). Glad they're gone now too. Also, science has explained the dress thing, can we not move on, it's being talked about EVERYWHERE on the god damned internet. It's a cool optical illusion, sure, but that's all.

Then explain the bloodstains all over the dress.

You, uhh, you should go talk to someone about that... Like a psychologist, or an exorcist.

Is Dashnet a My Little Pony forum?

Not enough pony references in subforum names to qualify.  Dash is also a generic enough word to not have to be associated with ponies all the time...
Is as simple as clicking on the Home button under the Dashnet Forums logo to check. (Or clicking on the logo in this case.)
It features a cookie clicking and idle games subforums.

I didn't even know there was a trick... since all three dresses were obviously blue to me.

Admitting with a bloom haze that washed out the color but still.

[Graknorke]

It's really dumb and not at all hard to understand.
If you look at what the colours are they're light blue and brown. If your brain compensation for the filter it's a darker blue and black.

Problem solved. We can all go home.

I wasn't around when the forum got hit, but I would imagine my reaction would be "meh" as well.

It's partly a WTF and a sad how early I lost my innocence.Maybe that's why I'm a sexual deviant, too. (No, I don't mean being gay. I mean being really horny.)

The thing is, when the brain DOES compensate the other way, it's a bit strange. First time I saw it my brain said "yup, that dress is pure white with a harvest-gold trim, carry on". Now that I've taken time to actually look at it, my brain has figured out what colours they actually are. It's a neat illusion, but just that.

Edit: Oh god damn it, there I go talking about it now...

It's actually very clever, since it exploits one little exploit in the brain - subconsciousness and how it defines what is blue and what is white.

And because it's in subconsciousness, it leads to people not understanding each other and descending into incoherent rage because most people just assume that "how they define a color = how everybody defines a color" - and as this little experiment has shown, that assumption is incompatible with physical reality.

It doesn't help that the lighting's terrible, either.

Now can we stop talking about the bloody dress?

[timferius]

Actually, this sort of answers an age old question I had. Is it possible that what I see as blue the same as what you see as blue? And the answer is, it's very possible, because brains be wack, yo!

My internal monologues are also a bit strange.

That's a condition generally referred to as "baseline humanity". Most people are extraordinarily horny in their teens and early twenties. Not all, of course, but a substantial majority.
