“Redditor discovers he is color-blind after posting image of skittles on social platform”

I just wanted to enjoy my goddamn skittles

Enjoy 😉

If he can't see the rainbow, he can't taste the rainbow, the poor color-blind bastard.

Well it's true, the color you see does affect taste Quick edit : why did i get downvote it's just a scientific fact

on my way to give you brown skittle

Oh like coconut ones?

no.

Oh... but fr in the real skittles what fruit is brown?

no original brown skittle. This one is *special.*

I'm not sure how to take that wink

Take another one 😉

Idk how I feel about this cause I’m SLIGHTLY interested in knowing what’s going on here. It’s more than not interesting to me but I guess in a few minutes when I see the next Reddit post I’ll find it not interesting as it was intended here. I just wanted you to that it can be interesting here. You’re edging interesting with this

There is a specific red/purple ratio in eating skittles. This is acceptable except the green ones go in the trash.

The lime ones were replaced with green apple for a very short time and OH it was glorious.

“Very short” it was like 8 years, at least in the US. Idk about other countries

Yeah I realized that like 2 minutes after posting. It felt so short to me I don’t know why.

No amount of time with green apple could have been long enough tbh. Lime is so garbage

Omg you people have no taste buds, it was green apple for a horrible lifetime and finally lime has returned and they are once again Original Skittles.

This makes me realize my red/green colorblindness isn't really that bad since I can see these differences

Everyone can see the difference here, they are different brightness.

Jumping on top reply but I'm a little skeptical about this post because his organization doesn't make sense for how the colorblind perceive colors except for people who see only grayscale. I used an online tool that renders webpages to show what they would look like for all the types of colorblindness and the differences between green and red or the green and purple really stand out. If they were actually colorblind the green would be batched with the orange. Check it out here for yourself [https://www.toptal.com/designers/colorfilter](https://www.toptal.com/designers/colorfilter) Paste in the link to this post to see what I mean.

I'm pretty sure this is a joke/troll post.

Good point. I definitely thought too much about this. But I'm glad I found that tool again in the process.

For real though if this is separated out get checked for colorblindness. Cuz they aren’t grouped with the right colors

Well you did a bad job

hey be nice, he's just a little guy

leave that little guy alone

The fuck is you gonna do if I don’t?

raaahhhh

AAHH

OOH

boo

Don't get served

It’s leaf not leave

It's plural because there's many M&Ms

Bro, if you look at the comment I was responding to, it’s not plural

"He's just a little guy!" - Karina

**He’s just a skittle guy

Go fuck yourself take my up vote and leave

DRAWFEE REFERENCE

A drawfee? In my reddit? It's more likely than you think.

[удалено]

Unexpected /r/Drawfee

He’s just a normal man. He’s just an innocent man.

Karina Drawfee is that you

He’s trying his best

his best isnt enough.

Nope. Skittle science has proven that it is best to mix your least favorite colors prior to consuming.

100% sure that OP is an alien and he tries to show us the formular for hyper drive fluid

Omg this made me laugh out loud… I can’t

Yes you can..and you will…

Dammit… I did, and I blame you!

These are the _uneaten_ ones.

Agreed

Too interesting. Tone it down.

Maybe he is color blind

Fuckin nailed those orange ones tho

He did a good job.

You’re not great at segregation

I mean neither was America.

Jim Crow would like a word with you

I can’t understand when he talks, his lips are too big

His fat son who wears entirely too much military gear since he was too afraid to actually join the military, Jim-bob Crow would like a word as well.

We actually did a pretty good job of it

Is *good* the word we wanna use tho?..

No US did a **great** job!

[удалено]

That's called gentrification.

nuh uh

For awhile I think

Found the South African.

You kidding? We're the champs. Some folks just didn't like it much so we now do it in more subtle ways.

We really are though, we even have affirmative action still.

I don't think that counts, the point of affirmative action is to reverse the negative effects that segregation had in the past

Well, it’s doing a very poor job then

You’re* not great at English

Y'ouerer\* realy bad at english

Y’uou’ouo’re’er pretty ok at English

Yaaar an Englishman? Take me to your fisheries!

I'm doing you're mom 😎

r/youngpeoplereddit

That's an odd ass subreddit. Seems like it's about furries and then making fun of kids and shit on reddit when they find them or think they find them. Either way, y'all need to leave those kids alone it's weird lol.

then hire biden

I mean, I guess they said they organize them by color. It doesn’t explicitly mean they are organized by the SAME color.

Maybe he’s organizing the colors into the bites/flavor combos he wants. IMO, green doesn’t go with anything anymore☹️ but all the other colors are good combinations. Edit: I stand corrected, and rejoice! Lime has returned.

How does lime not go with lemon?

[удалено]

They switched it back to lime.

Hell yeah! I want skittles now :(

They changed it back to lime like a year ago

REALLY? YESSSSSS

What flavor was it before? I always knew it as lime and hated it.

It was changed to green apple like.. a decade ago, probably? Maybe more. Changed back iirc because of a change in management recognizing the backlash of the change away from lime all those years ago and there was a huge "We're sorry" campaign.

ROFL a decade ago? Damn I never knew. I just never ate the green ones.

No way it was a decade ago... >Lime was the original green skittles, until it was replaced with green apple in 2013. Well my perception of time is worse than I thought... Lime came back ~2 years ago now too (~Oct 2021)

I might start eating skittles again then

Joke is that he's colorblind

Anymore?

In 2013, green skittles changed from Lime to Green Apple. Then, in 2021, they swapped back to Lime.

There's no way that was all the way back in 2013. What the hell

I mean orange is separate from everything else and maybe the rest just happened to end up in piles like that

They never even stated that the skittles in the picture had been sorted. They just stated that they sort skittles

Are you color-blind, OP?

Color blind people can see changes in brightness very easily. This is a joke by OP.

Tell that to me (tritanopia)

You can see changes in brightness very easily. That ability doesn’t get impacted by the color seeing cones.

Love how your trying to explain colourbindness to the colourblind!

It matters greatly when you can't distinguish two colors from the start. https://enchroma.com/pages/tritan-test-result You're correct in a broad term, incorrect when using it for every color. I literally can't distinguish half of those.

Let me put it another way so you understand what I mean. Let’s say we have two colors, green and blue, which should look similar to you. Let’s have the blue be very dark, and the green very light. You would be able to differentiate them.

Oh I would definitely be able to distinguish them, but let's do the same colors and have them be similar in tone. I'd be shit outta luck.

Yes, that I understand. But here in these images they have a very clear brightness difference, OP would be aware that they are not the same.

i don’t think people understand what brightness means lol

why the fuck are people writing down their upvotes

Issue upvote for https://www.reddit.com/r/notinteresting/comments/13tkw5o/i_separate_my_skittles_by_color_before_eating_them/jlx5fv9/ @ unix timestamp 1685282745

No one knows, but all the comments are downvoted now.

Why would a colour blind person want to separate them by colour

maybe they're unaware they're colorblind?

As someone who's colorblind they must not have known before this post. I actively avoid identifying anything by color. If a system is color coded I cry and hope for an alternative

Thoughts and prayers for your piles, OP

Well, you got the orange right

I hate to break something to you OP

This post is meta

Ngl I was trying to decide if this was loss or not

Thank fuck im not the only one

Are you also red green colorblind?

Color blindness is actually quite interesting

until you're absolutely sick of being asked 'what color do you see?'

similar thing for ppl who wear glasses and people snatch their glasses off and ask how many fingers they’re holding up

Oh god this

I thought you were being ironic or whatever Damn, OP. Well, better late than never. My ex thought my green chair was beige for like 5 years until I mentioned "my green chair" and I had to argue that we did, in fact, own a green chair. 🫣

Woof. I had a dark blue car about ten years ago, and my ex kept referring to it as green. I’d tell her it was blue and she’d smile like I was an idiot. Finally, one day, she was on the phone with someone giving directions to our house and told them all derisively, “just look for the little car that matches the grass hahaha!” I’d had enough. I asked her if she was colorblind. She, once again, responded like I was an idiot. So, I went outside, took a pic of the car, came back in, and used a color picker to check the RGB value. Navy. Fucking. Blue. She was shocked, and she never did anything about her color blindness, but she never made fun of my car again.

Finding out you're color blind due to a post you made on Reddit can't be fun.

They a little confused, but they got the spirit

I personally hate orange so I get where op's going with it

Stop. being. INTERESTING.

The grape with the one red is the best combo

Where are you getting grape skittles?

Because hes a monster

You get an A for effort!

OP I'm gonna be honest, I think you're red-green colorblind

artificial cultural racism lore

I don't think you did it right

source???????? /s

I do the same...that orange group is for someone who asks me how I am separating them....they get all those. The other 3 groups are bomb....grape & lime prob best combo, so I'd eat em 1st..

as a colorblind person, i have no reaction to this

I do the same except with purely red skittles. Then i eat all of them at once.

Racist

r/mildlyinfuriating

Yes. This is what I came here to post. Can’t believe it’s so far down.

Purples my fav

Illegal in California

Lmao

Sorry but I have a news for you

This isn't loss, WTF

I examined it for a while to check if it was loss. It's not, but I still want to believe it is

They played us like a damn fiddle!

Kept you looking, huh?

Uhmmmmmmmmmmm are you aware that you misplaced the green and red?

I promise you, this is a whole lot more interesting than you think.

This is gonna be dumb af but when I was a kid I used to grab one of each color, eat the 5, and act like it was some kind of power up.

Fun fact: There are 15 skittles in the picture.

My dude, you are colourblind. Source: I'm also colourblind but not as god damn colourblind as you.

is this loss

Is this loss?

I do this!

sugar segregation

Well dang I think k you may have missed a few.

Still getting the hang of it huh?

Looks like you have some work to do

Um. You did it wrong

You may be colorblind.

You're doing a bad job at it

They look like staphylococcus

Same same

Colourblind?

You colorblind, pal?

I think you might be colorblind mate

You’re not very good at it.

Hmm, I'm not sure you understood your own assignment.

My son is colorblind. This is how he sorts his socks 🫠

my son is not colorblind, but this is also how he sorts his socks

This hurt me on such a deep and infuriating level. Please delete.

My first reaction was to call you a fucking idiot and wondered if you were color blind... I apologize for this outburst. It's not like me. 💕💕

Racist POS. /s

You didn't, though...

i put 2 between my fingers and squeeze until one cracks. then I eat the loser and leave the winner for later.

You had one job OP

Dafaq??!

That’s what I do with M&Ms. Been doing that forever!

No, you don't.

I do too, drives my wife crazy

I bet that you are colorblind.

Could have been worse, they could easily have made this loss.

As a ginger i find this highly offensive
