        You might hate the /s, but it’s really easy for peolple to miss the sarcasm (no matter how obvious it is!) when everything is in text.

          But but…that’s half the fun. Someone starts raging and every onlooker can clearly see they didn’t catch the sarcasm.

            Maybe…

            It gets less funny if 80% of the comments are missing the sarcasm/joke though. It can happen even when the sarcastic remark is obvious (usually because the first reply took it seriously, which set the trend for the subsequent discussions)

            That’s why I put a /joke or /s mark preemptively in my comments.

      Wiley Post flew with one eye, even.

      Though, he did die in a plane crash in a plane he was piloting, taking Will Rogers out with him.

        It’s a 74. But parts of the 4 are a different shade so you see 71 if your color vision is different.

          so you see 71 if your color vision is different.

          I have mild Deuteranopia and there is no hint of a 7.

          21 or maybe 81.

            I see why you would see that for the 7. You’re relying on the brightness of the dot instead of the tint I’m guessing.

            I suspect my 5 years old to have some low color blindness, he couldn’t see the numbers in some circles I showed him.

              The meme actually uses the exact same image as the wiki page about the tests. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishihara_test

              The number “74” should be clearly visible to viewers with normal color vision. Viewers with red-green color blindness will read it as “21”

              So at least I’m seeing what I was supposed to see!

          I can see it, but only when I look at it real hard, if I just take a glance it’s 71 for me. The different shade that part of the 4 is made of really throws me off for some reason

          So to get this straight, I see the other green but it’s like a sludgy brown-lime green as compared to the full on greens. It contrasts so much from the full greens that you actually have to look for it rather them glance.

          Is that how it’s designed to look? Because if so it’s less a test and more a trick. Otherwise I may have learnt something new about myself

    Is it bad that I glanced at it and also thought it was 71, and had to actually consciously pay attention to the colours to see the 4?

      I had a moment where I believed I was colorblind because I was toying around with iOS accessibility settings and one of the colour filters looked exactly the same enabled as disabled when I tested it. Good times.

      Not colorblind.

          Absolutely. I can’t drive a train because of possible confusion between red and green signals but where I live the tram signals just use white bulbs.

            Same here, about tram. I don’t have problem about red and green lights. Or with colors when I wiring something. Just, I missed few points on eye test if I’m able to drive trains, tram and passed eye test that I can work on railway

        I’m not colorblind and see 74, but I can see how it can be read as 21. The bottom part of 2 is a less saturated orange.

    Can I just tell you how much I hate those Ishihara tests? I don’t see shit in that OP one (which was exactly what I expected).

    Once upon a time, Panasonic did a print ad for one of their new color printers that was a dot test that read “Panasonic”, with nothing else on the page. Not super-effective advertising - although I suppose color-blind folks weren’t necessarily the target demographic…

        Yes, they do.

        I kinda hate them because non-colorblind people generally say one of a few things when conversations about them come up: “OMG do you really not see any numbers on there? It’s so OBVIOUS”, “Wow… so what color is this [insert random obvious thing]?”, or “So you’re colorblind? How do you deal with traffic lights? LOL”.

    That 74 is kind of tricky and my vision is “normal”

    This reminds me of a time I was taking one of these colorblind tests. The person administering it was flipping (way too fast) through the numbers and I was reading them fine. A trickier one came up which I could very clearly read, like this 71/74 one, and I said (because fucker was flipping way too fast) “71… no, 74 actually.” He marked it wrong. It felt like a real life Seinfeld incident after that where I kind of stopped the whole test and was saying basically, as nicely as I could, “hey. I said 74. Mark that correct.” MFer didn’t even vocalize a response. I can’t remember but I think he did like two more numbers, said I passed with whatever number of tests with one incorrect. I had to get my eyesight examined after that (this was for some pilot shit. Like a physical) and I told the doctor and he kind of shrugged it off too like “you passed it. It doesn’t matter.” IT MATTERS TO ME GODDAMNIT

    Thanks for triggering this random traumatic event from over a decade ago.

        Goddamnit.

        Now you’re getting a followup story of how such a small incident fucked with me years later.

        I was with my (at the time) gf in our apartment and I don’t remember the exact specifics, but I was sitting looking at the TV straight-on ie the proper viewing angle. She was sitting on our floor looking up at the TV at like maybe a 45 degree angle.

        I can’t remember the show or what it was, but on the screen there were some pastel colors. All I mentioned was like “oh, pastel colors. You like those colors.” She was drawing at the time, so it was somewhat relevant. Anyway she looks at the TV, from the bad angle still, and snaps at me “those aren’t pastel you fucking idiot!” And it was like that spinning shit in a movie of me in my head like “no…no…that test was wrong!” Normally we kinda went back and forth like this. Kinda like Vinny and his gf in that movie “my cousin Vinny” but less toxic and less Italian (same thing?). This time though I was just like “but… uh… the angle…” she kinda kept saying I was wrong for a few minutes before I finally tested it myself and then told her to stand and all was revealed. I was not an idiot after all.

        And that goddamn test was wrong!

      Your story reminds me, that in our driving exam, not the actual driving one, but the theory one, I got a single question wrong, and I was not allowed to know which one. If you got more than 3, you’d be told and be allowed to double check if you were scored wrong. But if you pass, you get told that and are expected to move on.

      I asked how the hell that was supposed to help someone learn or be prepared to drive without endangering others, and they just told me I passed, what do I care.

      And honestly, I truly didn’t care, actually, and let it go. I mean, most people in the street drive like shit anyways, and the whole process of getting a license isn’t really “academic”. It’s possible they were being cunts for no reason, it’s also possible they do this on purpose to cheat the scores and just pass people who failed too many times, but it wasn’t a fight worth having to find out.

        If you talking about a test at like a DMV, I would guess it’s more simply just employees don’t want to bother to pull questions up and review with possibly annoyed people or they’re understaffed and the higher ups “solve” part of the issue by saying don’t talk to people, just shove the papers in their hand and move on.

      I’m not color blind and never realized that these are made to show different numbers for those who are and are not. Never paid any attention to it, but now I can clearly see the 74 is made of two different colors/shades. Huh.

      It’s funny. If I look away, I can clearly see 21, but if I look at it, it disappears.

      If you’re being serious you might want to go get checked, because it’s possible you have some color blindness.
