As a colorblind person, fuck whoever decided on the colors for this image. I hope they meet a very angry porcupine.

As a dog, I'm wondering why you posted the exact same picture.

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As a fellow dog......that butt smells amazing.

I know your comment was a joke, but am I right in saying dogs see monochromatic pictures in yellow and blue as opposed to black and white?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yep! Dogs love the Swedish, Ukrainian and South Dakotan flags!

Can't see pink or blue? Are you immune to gender affirming colors?

[–] Sluggles@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Can you provide some detail on your comment? As a non colorblind person, I would like to understand how this image could have been modified to include our colorblind brethren.

As a non colorblind person, I would like to understand how this image could have been modified to include our colorblind brethren.

In general it is a good idea to use colour gradients that monotonically increase (or decrease) in brightness in addition to (or instead of) hue (see here for an in-depth comparison of different colour maps. It's from a Python package, but it shows some interesting plots comparing different colour maps when it comes to brightness vs. hue). This isn't just useful for colour blind people, but also helpful when printing in black-and-white.

If you absolutely have to use a diverging colour map, you might reach most people by using blue as a major component of one, but only one of the two branches (the map in the OP uses blue as a major component of both branches, which is why red/green colour blind people can have a problem with it). That way most colour blind people should be able to distinguish the branches, since blue colour blindness (Tritanopia/Tritanomaly) is much rarer than red (Protanopia/Protanomaly) or green (Deuteranopia/Deuteranomaly) colour blindness.

Apart from that it is also possible to mark information visually in other ways than by colour, e.g. by shapes and patterns, like dotted or dashed lines for line graphs, shaded or dotted areas for bar and area graphs, or different geometric shapes like crosses, diamonds, and circles when plotting individual data points, but that is probably more useful when different sets of data are plotted in the same graph.

At least there are numbers.

I think this does a pretty good job for color blind people.

[–] i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Assuming you're on a phone, do you not have a colourblind filter in your device's accessibility settings? I introduced a colourblind mate to that a few years ago and he was blown away.

People watching the movie like it is a documentary about their neighborhood

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

Honestly though, how many of us would know about how the government completely screwed the people in New Mexico living near the Trinity blast site, without movies like Oppenheimer and Sunshine?

They have good reason to watch the movie and keep the story in the public eye, because the clock runs out in 2024.

Wasn't NM the same state that has the furry search explosion?

[–] wordman@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

While most of the states with zero are searching for both equally, I get the feeling that Wyoming is zero because no one searches for either.

Oh no, no, but afaik the dude is on vacation at the moment.

[–] kalahlora@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, it's because Wyoming doesn't exist

I don't get it. I know nothing of these two movies or what liking one or the other means.

No, didn’t you see the article that it leans too much on heteronormative ideology?

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

LOL so the right crazies hate it because it's too woke, the left crazies hate it because it isn't woke enough, but most people enjoy it because it slides somewhere in the middle?

Probably not surprising tht Oppenheimer is furthest ahead in New Mexico. But why is Mississippi so into Barbie?

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I assume because Mississippi is so horrible they need escapism to mentally survive. It's also possible there are more families with young children in the South.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Barbie looks like their hot cousin

[–] TenderfootGungi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Los Alamos is worth a visit. The lab is locked down (a road goes through it, you are not supposed to take pictures), but there are a couple really neat museums. One of the retired age volunteers at the museum asked us how deep of a discussion we wanted. He went down a deeep rabbit hole of chemistry and mechanical bomb design. It was obvious he had strong knowledge of how atom bombs worked. It was glorious. And the boys boarding school is also neat.

I'm doing the 70mm IMAX with my son in Providence next Sunday. Gonna be awesome!

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (7 children)

I only know that Oppenheimer is a movie because of that IMAX post the other day, but I now have to ask: there's a Barbie movie?

I saw Openheimer last night and it suuuuuucked. I mean there were a few ok sequences, but def not worth 3 hours of my life.

Proof again that Nolan should stick to fiction.
