The Dress

This is what the internet is losing its collective mind over today.

... how does anyone see white and gold here?

[jazmunda]

It's black and blue. What's the issue?

[bateman]

I'm not getting it either. Apparently a lot of people are seeing white and gold. Somehow. I think this is some sort of prank.

When I saw the thread title I was secretly hoping it was a thread about Monica Lewinsky.

I don't get it either... Blue & Gold, totally.  A blind man can see that.

[The General]

[jazmunda]

Put that dress on a llama and you'll really be on to something.

      I get a boner thinking about an EMP wiping out all forms of electronic communication.

[popple]

I see blue and black 

copy+pasted from a comment

â€"Blue and Black: In conclusion, your retina’s cones are more high functioning, and this results in your eyes doing subtractive mixing.

â€"White and Gold: our eyes don’t work well in dim light so our retinas rods see white, and this makes them less light sensitive, causing additive mixing, (that of green and red), to make gold.

But think about all the children who will suffer.  Damn.  I just gave Noory a boner.

   True...but Noory's ramblings will only be limited to those in his immediate vicinity after the EMP.

What about all the parents that will have to actually interact with their kids? We're screwed!!!!!111

I wonder if gnb would have said "it's neither, it's short and fat"

[albrecht]

it must be another internet Bateman uses because it took Bellgab for me to know of this outrage. I see BUT.....reminds me, I guess, of things like Kentucky Derby, Carl Sager, Don Cherry, etc wearing seersucker suits and odd ties get insanely bad on tvs, especially older tvs. Something to do with the pixels and scan rate, I guess?

I saw black and blue earlier today, but now it's white and gold.

Art should be doing a show about this right now!

Oh my... an optical illusion.

Never seen one of those before.

In all fairness, it's keeping us occupied and off the streets. The dress is obviously Tardis blue with black trim.

It was on yesterdays news; It's Royal Blue and black. The dress maker said they haven't made it in white and gold, but would if asked to do so.

It's not Tardis blue? 

[Yorkshire pud]

It's not Tardis blue? 

Perhaps the Tardis is Royal Blue?

[UnscreenedCaller]

Not saying a word.

I find that I'm not too concerned with the color, but with the fact that it's a damn ugly dress.

BFD. Change your screen tilt 5 degrees and it goes from white to blue. I guess things like an ideologue-paralyzed Congress, ISIL and political assassination in Russia just don't grab the Millennial imagination.

It might once their precious internet and iPhones have some problems: like a Muslim going "peaceful" at the iPhone store or some coffee shop, the FCC censoring their internet, private companies and other countries (via PPT) as well as FBI, RIAA, etc coming after them for their torrents and file-sharing, their Verizon/ATT/Comcast/TWC/Sprint bill going way up, or some Russian hackers taking over their bank accounts (or worse Facebook.) But only might.

If I find out who started this whole load of crap I'm gonna beat them till they're black and blue ... or is it .. gold and white?
