AND ALSO
objects in the dark have no color
think about it
objects only have a color when there is light to reflect
in the dark there is no light full of colors for them to reflect
so they don't have colors

Oh that was my question lol
I asked my science teacher once but she didn't give me a straight answer

@kat_i_am

also
we have 3 color cones in our eyes- red blue and green I believe
and then you have mantis shrimps, which have 16 so theoretically they can see a whole lot more colors than we can
buT IT TURNS OUT MANTIS SHRIMP ARE AS DUMB AS COTTON BALLS AND DON'T REALLY DIFFERENTIATE COLORS ALL THAT WELL AND DON'T USE THEIR EYE CONES TO THEIR FULL CAPACITIES AND THAT MAKES ME MAD LIKE WHAT A RAD BUT USELESS CREATURE like they can punch really really hard and break through glass if an aquarium isn't thick enough BUT THEY'RE MISSING OUT

@kat_i_am

So colors are a pigment of our imagination?

…I'll see myself out

YES THEY ARE AND THAT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PUNS

yeah exactly

@kat_i_am

also expanding on that
we have true colors
and flat colors
true colors are the ones in light
but objects have flat colors, reflected lights
so to make that more clear
objects don't have color in the dark bc there's no light to make flat colors and since there's no flat color for the object to have it is colorless

I find that difficult to understand well

@kat_i_am

and like???? even in our color spectrum we CAN see we don't have names for all the shades and tints and it's WILD
like what would we do if we could suddenly see what's above ultraviolet?

so like
true colors our eyes can't really differentiate (and I THINK, but I'm not certain, prisms split light, and the colors of the rainbow are true? I'm not totally sure they are true colors. They might be). They're just all in light
Or, I guess, technically if you have a blue light then you're seeing true blue
but like
my red lipstick is a flat color. The pigments in the lipstick absorb every true color except red, which reflects back as a flat color

@kat_i_am

I'm not… colors don't like me

that's absolutely tragic
I'm sorry that you're colorblind
but it's okay
I'm excited enough for like…. 10000000 people
maybe it's bc I'm ace lol
I don't get super duper excited about romantic relationships (or, at least, it's rare) so I get super duper excited about colors instead

@Crisis

To clarify, true colours are light, and flat colours are reflected light?

Yes

Thank you I understand now

excellent I see my TED talk has been effective thanks for coming
my next TED talk will be on.. let me think

@kat_i_am

do you know what else I just get really excited about
hugs
just hugs in general
they're so nice
and did you know that hugging can actually trigger the release of positive hormones (like oxytocin and… endorphins, I think it is? maybe not endorphins lol) so hugging more ppl can actually make you happier in terms of your body's biology/physiology

So one time I was hungry and wanted waffles.. and I got some frozen ones and put them in the toaster. Then I'm waiting… and suddenly the smoke alarm goes off. I take my waffles out and they're burnt to a crisp.. I guess they were at a higher number. My brother came in and asked why the alarm was going off.. I hid my waffles in the pantry and told him I had no idea. He went out and I ate my crispy black waffles in the pantry as fast as I could (yuck.. definitely not one of my best moments). A few min later and my mom comes home and says, 'why does it smell like something burning??' and meanwhile I'm hiding myself in the bathroom in shame..
Okay that wasn't really funny so here's another

I was a really late walker, unlike my brother who was super early. My mom who didn't see my brother first time walking wanted to make sure she saw mine.. so she bribed me. I loved M&Ms and she got out a packet of them and told me I could have some, I just has to come over. In short, I ended up walking. So my first steps were because of M&Ms.. and today they're still one of my favs.. lol
That's all I got for the moment
