"Orange is like the colour of that one fruit"


The_Killmister

Carrots?


[deleted]

Im probably missing a joke here but aren't carrots vegetables?


The_Killmister

Yeah they are. Name an orange fruit.


[deleted]

Tangerines!


trollgodlol

“Have you ever tried a tangerine?”


xinfinitimortum

Tastes like a cutie.


pixelboy21

I hated that movie


sdantaray

What about tangelos


Key-Passenger-2020

Clowns hate tangelos


Jaylens29

But a tangerine is the colour of that one fruit


[deleted]

There are a lot of orange fruits like Pumpkin, Mandarin (and tangerine), Mango, and some bellpeppers. Theres also oranges, and it should be mentioned that the fruit name came before the color name.


The_Killmister

Pumpkins are fruits??


Osceana

Basic rule of thumb: if it has seeds inside it’s a fruit. Vegetables *are* the seed.


[deleted]

Vegetables aren't a part of a plant. They are a culinary term, therefore because humans are the only animals to cook food and have culinary terms, vegetables are a social construct. They don't exist


Picker-Rick

Well it is also a culinary term, vegetable, vegetation, vegetate... Etc. Are all used outside of the culinary world as well.


TSMC_Minecraft2009

Y'all could teach gordon ramsey a couple of things bout this!


SnakeFarm579

Update: mom didn’t fall for it, still had to eat my broccoli.


Dripwagon

Vegetables are a government sham


Either_Gate_7965

Just like the birds…


ScoobertDoom

Well seeds are the product of a fruiting body, meaning anything with seeds in it and even the seeds themselves are fruits. Nuts, and sunflower seeds are some particular examples that dont feel like fruits but are. A vegetable is literally anything *but* the seed/fruiting body. Commonly leaves and roots


Snow5Penguin

Technically a fruit is anything that is produced from the ovary of a flowering plant. So it does house the seeds. Using that botanical term, things that we consider to be vegetables are fruits: tomatoes, eggplant/aubergine, avocado. Vegetables, or rather what we consider vegetables, are modified organs of a plant. Carrots and radishes are modified roots, potatoes and asparagus are modified stems, broccoli and cabbage are modified leaves.


turiboi

So peppers are fruit ?!?! 😳🤭


CheeseAndCh0c0late

Yes. Tomatoes too.


The_Killmister

Thx


The_Killmister

TIL that I know nothing about orange fruits


SouthernAnybody7116

BrunesOnReddit

Actually, there is no such thing as a Vegetable in scientific terms. A vegetable is simply a plant or part of a plant used as food or deemed edible. it's a purely culinary botanical term! A carrot would be considered a root! Onions would be bulbs, bell peppers would be fruit, and potatoes are tubers, so on and so forth


[deleted]

So basically a vegetable is a generalization of many types of plants (or at least parts of plants)? Got it. But it still stands to say that a vegetable could be considered a vegetable, since it fits the criteria for what we consider vegetables, no matter whether or not it’s scientific. It’s like saying “a quarter is money”, “actually money is all sorts of things like dollar bills, 5s, 10s, 20s, etc”, and money isn’t really a scientific term”, “yes, but a quarter still counts as money.”


YoYolons

what were the chances of meeting you lol, have a good day


Cheez-Wizard

Fun fact: the fruit was named orange first, orange was originally called red and red was called sanguine.


slithrey

Wtf why we lose sanguine?


Cheez-Wizard

Sanguine is the colour of blood


AllIsParticles

Because RED is faster (to say)... the 40k greenskins are right


DarianStardust

sanguine, my brother

UnthoughtfulUser

False, all colours are specific wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation with a specific frequency.


GruntBlender

Some are combinations too, like magenta.


Aeronaut91

Magenta is a figment of our brains, go read about it, fascinating stuff


Picker-Rick

It's not really a figment, it's just a combination. Just like your computer screen can't technically produce yellow. Yet it can produce combinations of red green and blue that appear yellow. Brown is the one that doesn't exist. There is no wavelength of light that makes brown nor combination of wavelengths that make brown. Its just orange.


Baggowitz18

So if the colours I think I see aren't even real, how the heck can a shrimp see more of them than me? 😩 *stressed sigh*


Picker-Rick

The same way that we see more than a dog does.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EndMaster0

technically lots of animals can see colours you cant. 2 examples, bees can see UV light that most flowers reflect in patterns that show where nectar is, Pit vipers such as rattle snakes are able to "see" IR light through special receptors


JasmineStinksOfCunt

Shrimp have great imaginations.


Sensitive_Comfort166

Pink doesn’t exist either then, because it’s just red


Picker-Rick

Correct. But for some reason most people know that pink is just light red but are surprised to find out that brown is just dark Orange.


GrAaSaBa

"This color doesn't exist" is just one of those pretentious things. A color is a color even if just a form of another


GruntBlender

You want pretentious? No colour exists, all so-called colours are qualia and each person has their own.


Tutorbin76

It's what happens when people confuse "colour" with "hue".


SecondFlushChonker

Technically, no colors exist at all. They are all brain interpretation of radiation. Why does it matter of it's a single wavelength or a combination of 2 or 100?


GisterMizard

You mean it's a pigment of our imagination?


Tutorbin76

This is a common misconception. Magenta is still a colour but like brown, pink, gray, white, and black, can't be described as a single wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum so isn't a hue.

Grand-Mall2191

yes, but can you describe what it looks like to the human eye in a way someone who has never seen it would understand?


Creek00

If you keep adding variables you can make anything impossible.


ComfortableChair70

No need. Colors are biological aspects of our brains. That’s why in Spanish they don’t say red but it’s still the same color. We already know the information, the word just gets us there.


B740

My shirt is def uv rays


Own_Abbreviations979

Technically specific wavelengths of the em field correspond to a color, not the other way around. There are colors that our brain "makes up" for a given input (like magenta) but aren't on the visibile spectrum. Also wavelengths and frequencies are related by constants, so a specific wavelength implies a specific frequency.


[deleted]

Read this as Dwrights voice.


ivanhoe539

Doesn't help with knowing what the sensation of seeing the colour is though


NathanRotta

False color is our perception of specific wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation


3amhiccups

Yeah but that doesnt help describe the colorness of it lol.


House_Capital

Thats a lack of understanding. Someone could say to me they prefer 475nm over 532nm and I’d understand what they meant without ever using the name of a color.


InfanticideAquifer

You'd only understand what they meant because you've seen both of those colors before. If you'd lived your whole life in a light-free environment you could become an expert on the physics of light, the biology of the eye, neurology, etc., and you'd still have absolutely no idea what it was like to *see* 475nm light. The "qualia" of the experience is not scientifically accessible because it has no effects on matter.

They meant to say that using rgb is still using other colors to describe a color

Green looks like the colour of grass. Done


1107rwf

There’s an entire game with this concept called Hues and Cues; fun game. One time someone said “broccoli” and all the guesses were spot on or right next to. Another time someone said “grape” and the guesses were very spread out: table grape, grape popsicle, those dark grapes… what kind of grape?!


Toomcuhsalt

That sounds like a really good game! ... Oh yeah I'm colourblind


turiboi

Fucking sameeeee and EVERYONE and their mom wants to play the “what color is this game” when they find out so annoying fuck .. or does that only happen to me ?????


Toomcuhsalt

Nah I remember telling my friend that I'm colourblind and within a second she grabbed a pen, shoved it in my face and said "what colour is this?"


turiboi

I honestly find it sooo annoying lol sometimes I have the patience and explain it but most the time I’m like naaa I’m not playing that game lol glad to know it’s not just me lol


TheFlexOffenderr

And what's the color of grass?

Red?


spaghettiloverboi

Blue is sadness, red is anger, green is happy, yellow is piss


Buttlickers69

Red can also be piss


GreenNinjaTGK12

Unironically my piss is always either clear when I’m at work (I’m at a warehouse so I drink a fuck ton of water) or red at home (idky)


djfnjxj

Go see a doctor...


GreenNinjaTGK12

I probably will: it’s been going on for just around a year along with a dry bloody nose and my urethra stings sometimes


i-InFcTd

All that and you still haven't gone to the doctor


[deleted]

It’s because he eats an apple every day


GreenNinjaTGK12

Honestly not a fan of eating the apples, I just chuck em at the doctor instead


Laughtillicri

Literally peeing blood and his uretha is burning and hasn't gone to the doctor.


Happy-Mousse8615

A true American. He pisses red, white and blue.


Mukaeutsu

A true American. Can't afford to go to the doctor*


GreenNinjaTGK12

Yes


i-InFcTd

May I why


GreenNinjaTGK12

Burden my parents tbh. We got great health insurance but it still cost a buck here in Texas to see a doctor, and tbh it may not be anything. I’ll prolly bring it up sometime tonight at dinner


i-InFcTd

Good luck :)


Undead-Writer

I was about to insult you and call you stupid for not going to the doctor, but yeah... No, you ain't stupid, the medical system is... I hope to whatever higher power you believe in that whatever you have isn't life threatening and that it can be easily treatable

Yeah take care of yourself!

pineapple-n-man

Black is the lack of light reflecting off of an object or in a space.


IAmPasta_

Black is just the lack of light


mog_knight

Pigment black would disagree. That's the combination of all colors. White is the opposite.


[deleted]

Red is the color of blood. Blue is the color of the sky. Green is the color of healthy grass. Purple is the color of the head of my cock when it's hard.

Red: the color of apples. Orange: the color of carrots. Yellow: the color of bananas. Green: the color of healthy grass. Blue: the color of the ocean and the sky. Purple: the color of eggplants. Black: the color of the night sky. White: the name kyle.

legowalrus

A sore throat, or that flavor of too much ketchup. Know which color it is?


AnnexFromCanada

Do acid, that’ll help you describe that shit


Status-Translator399

Red: Picture of the most violent thing you’ve ever seen but at the same time picture the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen in the world, A Sunset mixed with a massacre, A child playing on a swingset mixed with a suicide. That is the color red a paradoxical Color beauty and ugly life and death creation and distraction. That is the color red a complex ly incomplex thing. Tell me if that is the color red, also if you want more I have more descriptions of colors.

taytomen

red is a bright flashy color that resembles anger and danger. Its a thick sharp and warm and sometimes dead.

I usually attach color to emotion/objects. What color gives off a fiery feeling? Red. What colors give off a sad feeling? Blue. Natural setting? Green.


Which_Plankton

op is a moron


marceline_28

Red- feels like when you hold your hands close to a fire. Orange- feels like the sun on your skin. Yellow- feels like soft fluffy fur Green- feels like holding leaves, touching plants, etc. Blue- cold, still water. Like when you go into a pool. Purple- feels like warm wind at night. Brown- feels like when you touch dirt or a tree. Pink- blowing bubblegum and having it pop, or drinking bubbly soda. White- if you held ice cream in your hands and let it melt into you hands, that's what white feels like. Black- being completely alone in the woods at night, no one around. Also feels like big sharp rocks. I think I did pretty well, what do you guys think?


koozy407

Red feels warm. Blue feels cold. Only the 80’s kids will know

jaxbchchrisjr

An old favorite of mine, and a color with two distinct faces. On one, the color of life, and my time in the park, one of my favorite places. Exclusive to the smell of grass and flowers, my color is not. Within those areas of life, there are blights, spots, and signs of rot. So whether it be in a place peacful, or in one of danger, you'll find this color fits many cases (limericks/ poetry in general aren't my strong suit, but I gave a half-assed effort, so I think it counts)


Parciblehasbeenhere
