Why doesn't the writer of the comic just have him put on a dress and play with a Barbie? Since that's basically what the joke is. Maybe it's just me but this one's fuckin dumb.
the funniest thing would've been to have 5 textless panels of a shrimp just sitting there
Honestly that would've been great lol
spoiler
sdfsafWe need a comedy necromancy community
Some times dumb things can still be funny.
True, humor is subjective and I guess I just personally didn't find it in this one
It is. And yet, it just harvests upvotes. I don't get it.
Women have more ability to perceive colors due to physical differences. Link
Edit: guys the image is to give you an idea of what it's like. Read the article. There is an actual observed, measurable statistically significant difference in color perception.
That's just saying colorblindness is more common in men, and tetrachromacy is more common in (maybe exclusive to?) women. It's still really rare tho (estimated 2-3% in that link)
speaking of tetrachromacy, listen to the Polygondwanaland album by King Gizzard And The Lizzard Wizard
Exclusive to women, as it's a rare mutation that requires two X chromosomes.
There could be a rare, rare case of someone with XXY chromosomes also getting it, but that would be two very rare human conditions hitting at once.
XXY males are around 0.2% of males, so about 7 million people, and tetrachromacy is anywhere from 15 to 50% of women, so we would expect 1 to 4 million tetrachromat XXY males
The 15-50% is apprently women who have some sensitivity to different color bands, but not full terrachromacy. That condition has only been identified once according to wikipedia. Id expect in men with XXY chromosomes, for it to still be stunningly rare, if even present at all.
Its fully possible that the above sum is the number of men with some enhanced color depth, but even then in a population of 4 billion, 1-4 million is a very small number.
I have this, I am pretty sure. I had a job reviewing aerial imagery and in my first week I found camera defects in some new imagery we got in, that apparently no one else saw for years, passed through dozens of eyes. It was extremely obvious to me. Needless to say, they kept me and put me on the experimental team. ๐ I have always been really good with colours.
This is utter bollocks. The implication here is that I shouldn't physically be able to tell the difference between any of the colours in each group
Semi pro chiming in here: the infographic took an idea and ran the wrong way with it. Women are more sensitive to color, but it has to do with the context. They pick up more subtle colors without direct comparison. Its not that men can't see the difference between lavender and piriwinkle when they're next to each other, they're just more likely to think their the same color if viewed sepparately.
It's also worth noting that around age 35, both sexes lenses have yellowed enough that there's no notable difference.

I don't think anyone without color blindness would say any two colors on that drawing are the same color.
Whenever I see that graphic I have to think about all the male painters who apparently can't tell Phthalo blue from Prussian or Ultramarine
Then the curtains should have changed color on the last panel if that thought ever even took a poo in the author's head
Show, don't tell. The author also broke that rule in Panel 5 with "sex change ~~occurs~~ sounds" written off to the side. We see the ๐ถ๐ช๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐ซ๐พ๐ซ๐ซ๐ต๐ฎ. Clearly, that means the sex change occurred in the context of the setup. We get it, dude.
