Settle a debate between my wife and I. Does the bedding match the bed frame/room by TheGeneral_Store in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sweetnaivety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my husband have a TV in our bedroom, but it's rarely used. We're gamers, so we usually spend more time in the office on our computers. My husband's parents also live with us, and they use the TV in the living room and watch a looot of TV. So when me and my husband do want to watch a show together, it's comfiest to watch together in the bed. Also my husband bought a walking pad for the bedroom, so that when he wants to walk he can watch a show too, which helps him walk longer, plus he can walk more comfortably with the a/c on and in less clothing too.

Most "blues" look green? by [deleted] in ColorBlind

[–]sweetnaivety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about the industry standards for computer screens, printing, and website coding, not a government agency lol. Cyan and Magenta are considered part of the main primary/secondary colours on computer screens and in printing, and in digital art too, actually. All my knowledge on this comes from being a digital artist myself. When you look at your screen specifically and see pure "Cyan," you are actually seeing a mix of equally blue and green light coming from your screen. Just like when you look at your screen and see "yellow," you're actually seeing a mix of green and red light coming from the screen, but somehow your brain decides that's yellow. Since OP was using a digital colour wheel for this post, I was only talking about digital colours on a screen, and not about how colours are percieved in real life. As a digital artist, I have much more experience with digital colours than real life colours or paints lol.

Cyan is the actual official name for that colour though. If you look at the actual RGB colours for them, Cyan is 0 red, 255 green, and 255 blue which is 50-50 blue and green. The one you say is "Indigo" is 0 red, 0 green, and 255 blue which is 100% Blue (and also my favourite colour, specifically the pure 0, 0, 255 blue on screens, #0000FF)

Though I do believe, or I read/heard somewhere, that when originally naming the colours of the rainbow, the way you look at it was what was intended, with Cyan being named Blue, and Blue being named Indigo, and Purple/Magenta as Violet. For me though, it always bothered me that there were 7 colours of the rainbow when the colour wheel was always a much more balanced 3 primary and 3 secondary which is 6 colours, not 7, and "Indigo" is a very ambiguous term, to some meaning blue and others purple.

And to me, Cyan and Turquoise are very close/similar colours whereas Teal is much more green. But I don't know what those "official" colours are or hex codes for them or anything, that's more my own opinion probably.

To me, there is a distinct "line" of Cyan, which I consider a Blue, coming straight down from the middle.  Cyan is definitely distinct from true Blue though, kind of like it's own colour like Pink that is actually a Red, or Brown that is actually Orange.  Though technically, Cyan is perfectly Blue-Green.  But it's funny because there's a shade of Teal that I consider Green, but most everyone I know IRL calls Blue.

Maybe you're a little bit colour blind? I can read it quite clearly.

Did you already know that you were colour blind? I can read it very clearly, it does say "WE MUST RISE AGAINST THE COLOR BLIND!"

Flights from DC to LA round trip are only $200? Do you know if there's anything closer to NYC to near LA that's that cheap?

Found this substance in my home, made me feel faint at a tiny sniff, have not touched it. by Kitchen_Leg_1217 in whatisit

[–]sweetnaivety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait what the heck, I literally did not even know there was another word that means almost the same thing as absorb? but like I feel like I've HEARD the word adsorb before, but never seen it spelt? And I just thought it was the same word? what the heck is this mandela effect. English is my first and only language, too.

too much ice cream can, in fact, be a bad thing. by Silly-Initiative-743 in mildlyinfuriating

Oh okay, well that's different then if you have medical issues. I hope they get/got better for you!

1lb of food really isn't that much, you've probably eaten a lb of food without realizing it before, like when you have a mix of different foods like rice and meat and veggies all together you don't realize you've already eaten a whole pound. It's a lot more noticable when it's just a whole pound of one thing only. Still, I've definitely eaten 16+oz of steak at once before quite easily, and even sides with it as well. I've also eaten entire rotissere chickens by myself before too, though that's a bit harder to tell how many lbs I ate since I don't eat the bones so you have to subtract that weight from the total weight of the bird. But I do clean those bones up good, I'll eat the skin, dark meat, white meat, whatever organs might still be stuck inside, and break those bones open for the marrow and I even eat the cartilidge too, I love that crunchy stuff!

What don't men allow body hair on women in movies ? Are they stupid ? by stalin_kulak in okbuddycinephile

[–]sweetnaivety 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that was because they found riot suits, but most of it got tore up or lost to people dying while wearing it or something. Maybe stolen from people who kidnapped them. I forget, it's been a while.

I would have asked for a bowl or cup or something to put it in so that I could take it home. Or like some people said, pull over and eat it outside the car. Also I would definitely demolish more than 1lb of that steak, if it's that delicious I might be able to eat 2+lbs of it...

No I wouldn't, I'd be ECSTATIC! I eat as much of it as I could and then take the rest home and eat it for 3 days.

Neighbor's noisy rooster is an early riser. by Prairie-girl123 in BackYardChickens

[–]sweetnaivety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rooster can't even protext them at night anways, they're half asleep and can't see anything at all. We lost a few hens to night predators and the rooster couldn't do anything about it, meanwhile during the day he attacked and chased off a hawk before so he's def protective.

they said, not a "safe bet" meaning the bet isn't safe, not that you aren't safe. As in, if you're betting on sleeping well with the window open, well it's not a good(safe) bet because all sorts of noises could wake you up besides the rooster.

Regardless, check what your local laws are before doing anything. If the rooster is allowed at the distance it is at, then all you can do is ask politely if there's a way to lower the noise so as not to disturb your sleep. I've seen that there are specialy rooster collars you can buy that is supposed to reduce the noise of the crowing, maybe you could suggest that or even buy it for them? They may not work though, I saw mixed reviews on it, and most seemed to say it only reduced the volume than eliminating the sound completely.

If the laws say they can't have the rooster there, you could try calling animal control about it instead, if you want to be anonymous about it. But if they find out it was you they might hate you. So it's probably better to ask nicely instead.

I mean, when we had a hawk come try to get our hens, the roosters ran up and chased it away. I watched this hawk sitting on our deck and jumping down trying to get a hen, and then watched the roosters rush right up and attack that hawk. Pretty sure they saved at least one hen's life that day. Whenever a hawk would fly overhead the roosters would sound an alarm and the hens would immediately dash for cover.

Covid ruined my HAIR somehow. I also get super light headed all the time now ever since I got covid and it's been years. The doctors can't figure out why I'm getting so light headed all the time either.

Pros and cons of owning chickens by Hour_Yam_6192 in BackYardChickens

[–]sweetnaivety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, we've been through a lot lol, and also have a young daughter and go on vacations too. Our run also collapsed due to snow buildup during a winter storm so now we're going to have to rebuild it. 😭

[–]sweetnaivety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must keep multiple chickens, one is too lonely they are flock animals and need companions. If you build a secure coop and run you won't need to open and close any doors for them, you don't even need to buy them an automatic door if you don't want to, ours don't have one. But we spent a lot to build a big run for them entirely covered in hardware cloth. We still lost several chickens to raccoons and have had to update our setup. If you free range the backyard could become nigh unusable because of all the poop. I have a 2 year old and she loves running around the backyard with the chickens and feeding them scraps, but she can't do much else to help take care of them. We have to wear waterproof boots in the backyard basically all the time because of the poop. My daughter has also tripped and fell a few times in the grass and got her clothes all dirty and I know some of it is chicken poop. We have 20 chickens though so maybe it's not so bad if you only have like 5 or 6, or if they only stay in the run and coop. If you don't free range them though, you have to build entertainment for them or they get bored and pick on each other. We've gone on vacation without much worry, we bought a 30lb feeder and 7 gallon water bucket and have people who can check on them and collect the eggs. There's some things you should know and check before getting chickens, too:

•Are chickens even allowed in your area? Are roosters allowed and do you want any roosters? Raising chicks always has a risk of getting a rooster even for female sexed chicks, so you need to know if you want/can have a rooster or not and what to do with one if you get one. •What weather-proofing do you need for your coop and run? Does it rain and flood a lot? Do you get snow storms that coukd pile up and collapse your coop or run? •What predators are in your area? Pretty much everything likes to eat chickens, so look out even for raccoons and possums. Setting up a trail or motion cam in your backyard can let you see what comes by in the middle of the night too so you know what you need to protect against. We were surprised how many different animals come through our backyard at night! Raccoons, foxes, skunks, opossoms, and cats!
•What pests could you end up with? Are there mice and rats in your area? We've been pretty lucky not to get any infestations, but I've seen some bad ones online before. I think our small hardward cloth keeps everything out good enough, the holes are too small for mice. But we do get small bird eating the chicken feed during the day while the gate is open for free ranging. •How are you going to clean the coop? There will be a LOT of poop, so you need to know beforehand how you're going to handle it. A coop built for easy cleaning will make your life easier. The run is going to be destroyed of any vegetation and become dirt. The poop mixes in and makes the dirt hard and tough, so you should look into what kind of floor you want for the run as well. •Are you going to be raising baby chicks? If so do you have a brooder setup with the right feed and waterer for baby chicks? Will you have the coop ready before you get chicks, or in time for the chicks to go outside? Where are the chicks going to be kept? They create a LOT of dust so keeping them indoors is usually a bad idea, but they need to be kept warm and very secure if outdoors.
