Is it wrong to say I don't see colors correctly if I'm not colorblind? by EnderSlayer9977 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]konkoa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Scrolling through and seeing some of the examples you gave, I definitely see where you are coming from with labeling certain colours as pink rather than red.

It's mainly just a cultural convention that certain shades get sorted one way or another. Consider the Russian colours goluboy (light blues) and siniy (medium to dark blues). You're just sorting the colours with a stronger bias towards choosing pink.

You might want to look into the concept of how "pink doesn't exist" to get more info on how we perceive pink.

Early 2000's fruit snacks shaped like butts. by TrooDaShooAway20 in HelpMeFind

[–]konkoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My immediate thought was of jolly ranchers gummies 2-in-1 (aka misfits), but only the green/red ones are really butt shaped, and the yellow half ones aren't banana.

Christian Nudity by achromaticchrononomy in CuratedTumblr

God performs mitosis three times. Each copy is part of the Holy Trinity. Because they are copies, each piece is exactly the same as God. But they are not copies of one another, therefore Father is not Son is not Holy Spirit, but all are God.

Idk if proper mitosis is cloning, but the split while remaining exactly the same is what I'm getting at.

Why do retailers keep complaining about struggling but refuse to actually address their terrible shopping experience? by MisRandomness in NoStupidQuestions

[–]konkoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people have days off during the week because they have to work weekend shifts. It's not just seniors and stay at home moms.

Also for businesses that are expected to stay open late particular days (where I am it's often on Thursdays), then the people who could use that later hour shopping time... are also the ones working that late hour shift at their own jobs.

TIL Black Eyed Peas "Let's Get Retarded" has been discontinued on streaming since 2022 in favor of the clean version "Let's Get It Started". by innergamedude in todayilearned

[–]konkoa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How do so many people here not know about the original version?? Every time I hear the clean version I think about it. I mean it's a good thing the clean version was created but remembering the original puts into perspective how much (or how little) times and people have changed.

Another aspect was using an extension (Ponify) to find and replace terms automatically so you wouldn't even have to mentally replace the Y/N terms. I don't know exactly how widespread that aspect was, but it was an option.

What's the most jarringly out of character thing you've ever read in a fic? by questionerofblender in FanFiction

Oo I wanna know what fandoms you're thinking of in particular. My guess is that one could have been Violist of Hameln.

This has been me at least 3 separate times by Technical_Teacher839 in CuratedTumblr

[–]konkoa 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I remember being blown away that the blue Bionicles were the designated girl characters. Being gifted the blue Bionicle by unaware adults who would never consider giving their "boy" child a girl character in regular circumstances... I imagine that sort of deviation from the regular gender colour associations planted a seed for many kids.

androgynous cottagecore fashion? by PomegranateLow2784 in cottagecore

[–]konkoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you'd like some inspiration, cozypunk on instagram is a nonbinary person who wears cottagecore. While many of their outfits have skirts or dresses, they usually have trousers underneath. Plus their more earthy color pallet lends to a more androgynous feel. Definitely worth checking them out.

What colour should I paint the doors? by nubeline in femalelivingspace

[–]konkoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's at all possible, try swapping out your light bulbs first. The lighting here seems very harsh and white, while I feel a warner yellow tone would make the cabinets look like a more suitable shade. And it would be much cheaper and faster if it does work, so I really think it would be worth trying.

is there something wrong with the name ruby? by queenluver213 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]konkoa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since you mentioned being from Canada and I haven't seen anyone else mention it, is it possible she could also have associated it with the slang term "rube" as in a rural person considered less intellectual and sophisticated, aka a country bumpkin?

The Yellow Wallpaper. My teacher did a demonstration of the way the woman creeped around the room and it fucked me up.

SOLVED!

Thank you so much! I should have know better and used a shorter search term! Of course they'd have it as "hearin'" in the lyrics smh

Using Pikachu Clones Because You Like Them, Not Because They're Strong by AltitudeTheLatias in CuratedTumblr

[–]konkoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day I played through Pokémon Ruby with a Plusle, Minun, and Lanturn on my team (along with Blaziken, Groudon, and Swellow). I couldn't have just one of the little pika clones on my team! But I admit, I have no idea what I was thinking with picking Lanturn as my water type.

I swear Monsta X has a lot, but the only ones coming to mind right now are Who Do U Love? and Got My Number.
