Primates (probably) have the best color vision of all mammals but even we can be tricked!
(Forget all that farknarkling about the science of setting up your camera and balancing coloured light-waves etc... just look at these images...
Known as Pac-Man illusion it is an example of afterimage complementary color (green as opposite to lilac). Follow the movement of the rotating pink dot with your eyes and the dots will remain only one color, pink. But if you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot will turn green. |

I'm not trying to knit pick Stui but the bloke that made that doesn't count white as a colour.
(But your right it's still a good illusion). |

I guessed that but without the white it doesn't work. that's the contrast that makes it happen.
White is not a colour, black is not a colour, but put em side by side and you have something special.
Good stuff mate, don't let the yabbies give you head in the big outdoor bath.

^ I hate to be the one to point it out, but that's a parody site. Still, pretty funny.

I like Scott Ludlam a lot, and this is a pretty good video for the most part, but it's also a great example of why old people shouldn't try to be cool. *insert cat meme here*

^ on that general subject, the Australian leader of the Uk Greens last week gave an interview which was arguably the most toe-curlingly clueless political interview of all time.

3 mins 45 secs of pure shattered agony.

Oh dear. Got through 1:30 of it and couldn't continue. That was cringeworthy even by James Diaz and the six-point-plan standards.

Once you're past 30, the only way to be cool is to be quiet and mysterious (or dangerous if you're a bit of a badass). Trying to be 'one of the kids' id pathetic.
Full disclosure, cat videos, especially cats knocking shit over are hillarious.
Once I'm on the NBN I'm 100% using a VPN for everything.
*edit* Greens disabling comments!? And I'd just started to like them a little tiny bit after watching that video. |
