Hardware vs software solution?
They still taste good. So they got that going for them I guess.
I’m not a fan, but that’s neither here nor there. I’m weird.
I’m just not sure that flavor can be considered a positive character trait?
Maybe I’m stupid. Who knows? Clearly not me.
Its the crunchy nature that I find appealing, the flavor is only okay by itself.
I like them in salad rolls, with marinara dip, and deep fried.
Maybe you taste good at least.

So are any animals actually capable of seeing the invisible spectrums of light? Because humans technically can see them, since we make tools that allow us to. Suck on that, other animals. 😤
Birds ?
I’m not gonna pretend I understand the magic words here https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsif.2019.0295
Like infrared and ultraviolet? Yeah, there are animals that see those.
And all the other stuff we yse to see celestial objects and communicate long distance. Our phones are able to see colours we can’t!
I’ve been thinking about how a species with a metal horn could evolve to use it as a radio and even a hive mind.
Seems limited. Pheromone mix is far more suitable for a hive mind.
Good luck sending messages that bounce off the atmosphere without RF though.
Imagine aliens attacking us but getting fucked because their hive mind works on the same frequency of radio or wifi.
In my head as they evolve and learn how it works they customize their antenna to fit their needs. But yeah, that would be funny. Like Signs but shorter. They land somewhere quiet electromagnetically. Could even make it one of those super sensitive telescopes you can’t take any devices near for a bit of dramatic irony. There are some frequencies that are more quiet than others but most are pretty noisy. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to time travel to the past and see how much noise there is compared to now.
Really wish talking about what shrimp see didn’t remind me that in farming them females have one eye removed to promote breeding
Anyone who eats shrimp should absolutely read this.
I am eternally gratefull the practice is forbidden in Europe in organic cultivation. It’s one of the small wins that fly under the radar. It’s still a long way to people choosing for organic, awareness is the start of every change.
Can’t fix what you don’t know is wrong.
I don’t think of it as drama so much as docucomedy.
Imagine how OP their colour perception would be if they did have that mental processing power
Oh that explains this scene
I hate that it invalidates this episode of radiolab, which is, without a doubt, a masterpiece of podcasting:

i saved the video at the 13 minute mark where they do the audio representation of the vivid colors. still worth a watch/listen
Blue blue green greeeeeeeeeeennnnn
Technically, all the colors are fake. They’re just the halucinations of a brain trying to understand the input from sensory organs.
No, colors are real. And you see them.
Pink isn’t real. There is no wavelength of light that is pink.
Clearly, it’s light-ish red.
Its bright red, maybe toward purple! Brown is dark orange.
This person colors
Light frequencies between blue and red don’t exist.
That doesn’t make them fake, in the same way that x can mean 2. You are merely representing a given value in a useful way.
But is my red the same as your red? Hmmm?
if two people can both point to red and agree that it’s red, that’s close enough. anything beyond that is just pointless esoteric debate.
Some people see numbers instead/along with colors, and different people see different numbers, so I guess the colors might be different between people too
It was a joke?
hahaha?
I disagree that it’s pointless. I think it may be beneficial to humanity (eventually) to establish whether or not there is an objective reality which we all experience.
i agree, but that’s a job for neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and psychology; not a pack of dorks on the fediverse.
it’s more in the philosophy ballpark, which shapes the interpretration of methodology and the consequences, in my humble opinion.
But what if the dorks on the fediverse are scientists?
then by all means
But I want to contribute to humanity in a meaningful way!
-me, a dork on the Fediverse nearly incapable of contributing to humanity in a meaninful way
Hey now, you could be the person to force manufacturers to add a new type of warning label to random products!
buy guns
I hadn’t thought about it that way.
But compared with human eyesight, they could still see more ‘colors’ - As we see (almost) the same white in incandescent bulbs as LEDs and fluorescents, they might actually see the component colors and their intensities.
Not unlike how we may hear a combination tone when multiple other tones are played, and hear the difference (or sum) of them.
How would you suggest they do that. White light near equally activates our 3 cones because all spectrums of light are in it.
White light near equally activates all 12 shrimp cones because all spectrums of light are in it.
Which spectrum of color is left out of white light that wouldn’t light up a cone associated with it?
Because white light from an LED bulb is not all spectrums of light. It’s 3. It’s pure red, pure green, and pure blue that stimulates our cones equally so our brain can’t tell the difference. Like how TVs can make any color out of just three colors of sub pixel.
White light from an incandescent bulb is all spectrums of light. Through a prism it makes a rainbow. White LEDs through a prism make three stripes. For more information of this and some visuals check out this article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_rendering_index
6500k vs 5000k is noticeable for humans

I need to use wherewithal more in my daily life
Every lunar month, when there is a full moon, i try quitting caffeine
werewithdrawal
(I initially misread you comment)
I wish I had the wherewithal to use it more often.
Disappointed. But didn’t the have receptors for differently polarized light? What about that?
Polarization filters on retinal photoreceptor won’t make light wavelength (color) be perceived different, it just changes the conditions in which it’s detected. If those polarized cells would cover unique colors compared to the rest, it would kinda resemble the highlight effect in Mirror’s Edge, where something with a different angle than the surroundings stand out (sudden color gradient)
Color me appointed, at least we’re not missing out on fresh new colors!
My whole world is crumbling
Green and red do not come back yellow, it makes brown…or is there some other process they’re describing?
There is two types of color blending, tint and light.
Tint is what is usually taught, primaries are red, blue,yellow and we make the rest with them.
With light however, the primaries are Red, Blue and Green. Most image editing software use light blending, so you can zoom on a pixel and use a color picker to get its RGB value. And to make yellow with light blending, you combine red and green
Extra fun fact! Tint primaries are actually Magenta, Yellow, and Cyan.
Red + Blue = Magenta Red + Green = Yellow Green + Blue = Cyan
Magenta + Yellow = Red Magenta + Cyan = Blue Cyan + Yellow = Green
My apologies if I missed the /s but eyesight works in additive colors, not subtractive
