I'm pretty sure you can still fly a plane even in black and white. WW2 pilots did. /s

Color was invented by the tumblr gay agenda in 2013

Ohh I get it, they're both wrong because there is actually no number visible!

That 74 is kind of tricky and my vision is “normal”

This reminds me of a time I was taking one of these colorblind tests. The person administering it was flipping (way too fast) through the numbers and I was reading them fine. A trickier one came up which I could very clearly read, like this 71/74 one, and I said (because fucker was flipping way too fast) “71… no, 74 actually.” He marked it wrong. It felt like a real life Seinfeld incident after that where I kind of stopped the whole test and was saying basically, as nicely as I could, “hey. I said 74. Mark that correct.” MFer didn’t even vocalize a response. I can’t remember but I think he did like two more numbers, said I passed with whatever number of tests with one incorrect. I had to get my eyesight examined after that (this was for some pilot shit. Like a physical) and I told the doctor and he kind of shrugged it off too like “you passed it. It doesn’t matter.” IT MATTERS TO ME GODDAMNIT

Thanks for triggering this random traumatic event from over a decade ago.

Reminds me of that one post where op discovered he was colourblind when he sorted characters by colour and it being obviously wrong.

I had a moment where I believed I was colorblind because I was toying around with iOS accessibility settings and one of the colour filters looked exactly the same enabled as disabled when I tested it. Good times.

Not colorblind.

Dodge made a Viper with the color "yorange". You can tell the difference in this photo

It doesn't say anything for me, it's an odd shape of different coloured orbs and yes i am confirmed colour blind. Red green, i keep forgetting what it's called.

Orange car and 21. But, I was told that I'm little colorblind. I can't drive train, tram and trolley car

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

Orange and 21 and I am colour blind. I drive a tram.

Is it bad that I glanced at it and also thought it was 71, and had to actually consciously pay attention to the colours to see the 4?

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

No I think that's by design. I also thought it was 71 at first it just takes a bit more time

Can I just tell you how much I hate those Ishihara tests? I don't see shit in that OP one (which was exactly what I expected).

Once upon a time, Panasonic did a print ad for one of their new color printers that was a dot test that read "Panasonic", with nothing else on the page. Not super-effective advertising - although I suppose color-blind folks weren't necessarily the target demographic...

So, you're colourblind.

"I hate those tests because they do their job!"

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

Yes, they do.

I kinda hate them because non-colorblind people generally say one of a few things when conversations about them come up: "OMG do you really not see any numbers on there? It's so OBVIOUS", "Wow... so what color is this [insert random obvious thing]?", or "So you're colorblind? How do you deal with traffic lights? LOL".
