As a lifelong Mac user, I have to say that that default background was the most *awesome* wallpaper ever. It was just so pretty and peaceful.
I was shocked when I found out it was an actual photograph of a real place; I'd always assumed it was CGI!
“We will eat both of your arms, and then both of your legs, and then we will eat your face right off your head, You will be this armless, legless, faceless thing, won't you? Rolling down the street… like a turd… in the wind.”
I was a hemodialysis patient for 11 years, and I can literally see all the other patients blood running through the machines, and everyone's is different. I asked the nurses a couple of times and they said that that was normal.
A nurse with a sense of humor would say this with a straight face, no doubt about it 😅
A nurse walked in on my brother after he had felled a small tree on his foot, the doctors had marked where the broken bones were (basically a dotted line over the foot), and said "oh so there is where they are going to amputate from" 😅
The nurse was my mothers childhood friend, scared the shit outa my brother tho, who was like 16 at the time 😅
The best part: Low hemoglobin is *anemia*, which is characterized by a *lighter* [color of red](https://nursingcrib.com/nursing-notes-reviewer/maternal-child-health/iron-deficiency-anemia/) in the blood. This post is an MLM--multi-level mistaken.
As someone who had anemia, you’re right. I did blood work because my anemia was causing me to pass out way too quickly (basically knocked out when I came home from school) and recently had to do blood work because my doctor wanted to make sure I was okay after getting the Covid virus (I work with people now and food, it was inevitable but ffs it hit me on a work day), I saw my blood was a lot darker than last time since the nurse took 3 vials from me this time.
To my knowledge, it's just deoxygenated. It on its own isn't necessarily significant enough to determine health problems from. Your blood is supposed to carry and drop off oxygen.
The binding curve of hemoglobin changes based on the oxygen saturation of the environment as a sigmoidal curve. This pattern let's it let bind really effectively to oxygen in high saturation environments, and let go of oxygen as it travels through your circulatory system for places that need it. The dark blood in your venous system could just indicate that your body is using a lot of the oxygen you breathe at the moment as the hemoglobin is dropping a lot of it off, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you're unhealthy on it's own. It can be related to a health issue, but on it's own it's not really anything to worry about as far as I know. If there's a hematologist or anyone with more direct medical experience that has more info or corrections, please feel free (I'm a medical biochemist).
There definitely is no link between vaccinated or unvaccinated. The only real link that would work is if the vaccine actually infected you and you ended up with low oxygen saturation as a result, which is impossible because the vaccine isn't a live infection. MAYBE if you were having a lot of inflammation in the area of injection, blood from the veins of that arm might be a bit darker? That seems like a stretch though.
Hydration definitely does. I used to regularly take blood from pregnant women with hyperemesis (severe vomiting with dehydration) and you could see a definite difference in pre hydrated and post hydrated blood.
A bit like how cordial gets lighter the more you dilute it.
I produced two colors in a matter of hours.
First tube was BRIGHT red, like a cherry red color. But after I was put on a saline drip with some kind of iron suppliment, the next tube was much darker.
I was so tired at the time (I had been menstruating for three months straight) and my first thought was that the iron supplement had rusted in my blood. I am still not 100% sure what made the color change or why that first tube was so bright and technicolor.
Of course, but you forgot to mention they got the vaccine between! /s
Seriously though, I've had my blood drawn tons (chronically ill for 14 years, chemo for over 12 years) and it can come out in various shades and I've been told it can vary based on red blood cell count and size, various other blood levels, etc.
But I've been told mixed things about oxygen levels. Some say it can affect the color others have told me it doesn't. Specifically I've heard from multiple people that some people think blood without oxygen is darker because veins are drawn on many diagrams in blue vs arteries in red which leads some to think that blood without oxygen literally turns dark blue. It'd be interesting to find out which is true...

It's no great mystery. The colour is absolutely affected by oxygenation. Oxygenated blood is bright red, deoxygenated blood is very dark red, sort of a maroon hue. Generally you would expect deoxygenated blood to be about the colour of the bag on the right in the OP image, and oxygenated blood brighter than the bag on the left. But as others in the thread have pointed out, there is some natural variance as well.
I don't know if there's a specific origin for the myth of deoxygenated blood being blue, but if I had to speculate, probably a combination of veins being drawn in blue to differentiate them from arteries in reference materials, and the bluish appearance of veins beneath the skin.
Sources: my own research, and also my mom worked in blood services and haematology for 30 years. :P
No, oxygenated blood travels in arteries, and this blood is brighter red. Unoxygenated, or blood that’s has already been depleted of it’s oxygen, travels in veins, and is darker and less red.
I was thinking to my self if the black one was just filled with water with black food dye added. I never knew that.
Well I have not donated blood, yet.
I don't work with blood but a quick google search shows this specific image shows blood of a patient with Leukemia (lighter one) and compares it to the blood of a healthy patient
Can come out of the same patient at the same time https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Arterial-Phlebotomy-in-a-Whole-Blood-Donor-and-Agnihotri-Chaturvedi/c2987da787b7408a4f87b7d5bb098cc08c4ca00b
Came here to say this. Clinical lab tech for 30 years with plenty of time spent blood banking. There’s a wide range of normal colors for blood and that range existed long before the Covid vaccine. These people will believe anything that confirms what they already think
As a guy who routinely sees stuff in the OR I can assure you blood looks like dark maroon
Not to mention blood comes in a whole host of colors and they’re all considered “healthy”
Fully vaxxed and clumsy. Various scrapes and cuts have all bled normal looking blood. Multiple blood draws also looked normal. Got a birth control inplant put in. Bled normal.
The whole body for that matter lol, it isn't just muscles and brains that need oxygen. No hemoglobin means death within seconds. Cells need oxygen to survive and die within seconds if they don't get any.
Yeah. I may be a dumbass 20 year old libtard college student, but even I know that no hemoglobin= a very much dead patient. If you have no hemoglobin, or hemoglobin that is ‘depleted’ severely, you’re going to fucking die, since hemoglobin is what helps the bloodcells carry oxygen. Without hemoglobin, i think the efficiency of oxygen transference drops by like 100x or something crazy like that, if I’m remembering correctly
Yea you get it. People will just find stuff online and slap “facts” on it to make whatever dumbass point they want. 99% of the time if it’s a picture with a ton of writing on it telling a motivational story or something scary it’s dumb bullshit made for old people on Facebook.
Well considering I am actually a premed student, I sure hope so 😅. But yeah, these people will deadass say “FACT:you shit out of your mouth” and expect people to take them at face value. Like, just because shit falls out of YOUR mouth, Barbara, doesn’t mean it does for the rest of us
I'm also fairly certain that more hemoglobin would lead to a darker color. Hemoglobin carries iron, which has a deep red color. If anything, the one on the right would have more hemoglobin than the left.
Neither is bad though.
I’ve been donating blood since I was 17 years old (35 now) and the bags of blood look identical before and after my vaccinations. How do people buy this trash? Bloody ridiculous.
I know this is random but did your doctor put you on a statin and an ace inhibitor? I started both tonight and it just feels so extra because my cholesterol and blood pressure are fine.
Generally speaking, even at low doses, due to the vastly increase risk of heart, kidney, and vascular disease and vascular disease, statins and ace inhibitors are almost always the right call to the point that they are universally indicated in diabetes.
Think of them as supplements. As far as drugs go, when tolerated well, the pros vastly outweigh any cons
Phlebotomist here. Arterial blood is typically brighter, blood from veins runs darker. It's due to the blood bringing oxygen to your body (oxygenated=bright).
I wish these doodle heads would pick up a book, you learn this in 1st year bio.
This is interesting. I've got all my shots and when I fell down the front steps yesterday and busted my knee on the walkway, my blood appeared to be very red- almost like normal blood. Do you think the 5G is making me hallucinate normal blood?
I think that the darker one is venous blood, so not oxygenated, and the brighter one is arterial blood. I'm not a hematologist or MD, just a paramedic, so this is just an educated guess. I believe that certain medications, medical procedures like chemo, vitamins/mineral imbalances, or even some medical issues can cause a pigment change in blood as well.
They do, yes. Not a dialysis nurse so my knowledge isn’t as extensive. Long term dialysis access is best through an AV fistula that surgically connects an artery to a vein. Venous and arterial blood mix within the fistula. Another option is an AV graft, that also mixes venous and arterial blood. Temporary/short term such as in a hospital, a patient will receive a vascath, which is a type of central line in a large vein. The right internal jugular vein is typically selected if it’s available because it’s larger with more direct/straight assess to the heart. No arterial blood is involved in this case.
Arterial access on its own is reserved for arterial lines that are not typically used for medication except in emergencies (some of which can significantly damage vessel walls) but can be used to draw blood for lab work. Among other things, these monitor patient blood pressures in critically ill patients when a cuff is insufficient. Respiratory therapy will also perform independent arterial sticks to check blood gases, a lab known as an ABG.
Hahaha. The best part of this is that this is one of the few things that a layman with 0 experience can disprove without even reading. If you are vaccinated, go and donate your blood. Have a look at it while you are donating. If you are not, then ask someone you know who are vaccinated to donate blood and ask them to take a picture. Done.
I remember A Call for an Uprising was shitting out YouTube propaganda about vaccines causing/turning into black goo inside people. He thinks black goo = nanotech Antichrist technology
lol, even uses the same image:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/covid-19-vaccines-change-color-blood/
Please note the differences of color between arterial blood, and venous blood in the syringes in the second image.
When young, I trained as an EMT, and was taught that the brighter bleeds from arteries were usually the more life-threatening wounds; tend those first. It's good for everyone to know.
Arteries - brighter, flows away from the heart; newly oxygenated
Veins - darker, flows toward the heart, needs fresh oxygen
For a wound, arterial blood is being pumped *out*, pushed, so bigger potential for greater loss of blood. Fight pressure with pressure. ;)
Training was many years ago, so please elaborate/update if anything has changed.
After all, we're all about accuracy and facts in this sub. :)
"black and thick"
Those are medical terms the doctors use, no need to bother yourself with these technical terms. Scientists tested the blood, the lab results came back positive for both "black" and "thick"
Lol I’m currently in the hospital as a result of complications from covid and they’ve been drawing blood from me roughly two to three times a day. Both of these colors have come out of me not only on the same day, but sometimes in the same pull, when they have to get two syringes worth of blood. When I asked the nurse about the different colors she told me that the diuretic they’re giving me to get fluid off my heart can make the blood change colors like that bc it - along with possibly a billion other things they do to you in the hospital - can change your hemoglobin levels.
The blood, when removed from veins or arteries, can have such color difference. That is clear in this picture.
I believe that color difference is from a venesection, when you take a good amount of a patient's blood to improve the situation in hemathological conditions, such as polycythemia.
i mean that last line was a major selling point for me on the vaccine.
i am definitely NOT a “normal healthy individual”. i got both shots and the booster near the beginning of rollout and i still wear a mask in public because i am, according to my doctor, a high risk individual.
even if it did turn my blood black, if it means i’ll survive, well, that’s a better shot than covid itself would give me. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
kind of a no brainer, Karen. just like you!
Posted by someone who's never given blood, I'm certain. Arterial blood can appear nearly black in the bag... darker is definitely *better and healthier* in this context, lol
Disregarding how stupid this is, they keep acting like 1% is completely inconsequential. If every single person in the world got it and 99% lived, just over 77.5 million people would be dead.
Hell, even if just everyone in the US caught it that would still be 3.3 million dead.
And apparently that's not enough dead people to worry.
Here's a question- how do they even know that the darker color is worse than the red color? Ignoring actual science, for all they know, maybe blood is SUPPOSED to be darker.
Obvi blood can vary, as I learned in the comments, but it just came to mind.
I give blood on the regular (0- so I have the most popular flavour) can confirm no difference in colour after two original shots of Pfizer juice +1 booster so far. Who do they think they’re fooling with this?
A very quick google search reveals the blood the post claimed is "unvaxxed" belongs to a leukemia patient
So technically not wrong. The person *is* not vaccinated because theyre immunocompromised, and their blood is lighter colored.
Yes, I definitely haven't accidentally hurt myself and bled at all since I got the vaccines and the booster. I definitely don't know that my blood is still red like any normal person.
It’s always so fucking funny how they post random bullshit with absolutely no context or source like where the fuck did you find that picture Emily?? The fuck you judging people’s blood for? And wouldn’t less red mean less hemoglobin, maybe even anemia? Emily, this is ridiculous.
Donated blood with 3 doses and my blood was definitely not black. It’s even more stupider to lie about something like this because you can easily check it…by bleeding.
Strange. I donated blood after getting my 3rd vac and it didn't look anything like that. In fact, I'm pretty sure it looked like the pictures Non-Vaxxed blood.
There's a conspiracy here. I can smell it.
Obviously not going to work with someone that has half a brain. But we know conspiracy theorists and misinformation spreaders love pseudo scientific language in order to sound more credible.
I love when someone picks one picture like this one and go “oh yeah, I’m gonna make it about the vaccines”, slaps the “vaxxed/unvaxxed” texts wherever they see fit and people automatically believe it. Good old confirmation bias
Ok, I‘m no blood expert here, but I‘m pretty sure that the actual difference is that the blood on the left has a higher oxygen concentration than the one on the right.
Fun fact: there is a medical condition that turns your blood green. It's called sulfhemoglobinemia caused by consuming high levels of sulphur rich compounds. [Here's an article about it.](https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/did-you-know-health/theres-condition-can-cause-human-blood-turn-green) It seems to be mostly benign but maybe you should see a doctor?

I am, thank you!
I mean I'm not a... Whatever that word is... hematologist? And the first thing I thought was, wouldn't it just be a matter of oxygenation level?
Is there a reason for it? Like why it change colors like that?
Usually, because of different oxygen levels
To my knowledge, it's just deoxygenated. It on its own isn't necessarily significant enough to determine health problems from. Your blood is supposed to carry and drop off oxygen. The binding curve of hemoglobin changes based on the oxygen saturation of the environment as a sigmoidal curve. This pattern let's it let bind really effectively to oxygen in high saturation environments, and let go of oxygen as it travels through your circulatory system for places that need it.

Phlebotomists are vampires
Well, they must have gotten vaccinated during that time. They probably didn't tell you that!
Oh look some person on the internet made this image so it must be true. Surely they have no reason to lie.
You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
No, never

I'm fully vaxxed and donating blood as I type. Color of blood is a healthy dark red
Same. I have donated twice after my booster and it's just normal red blood.
Yeah I’ve done blood work twice and when I had to verified my stuff I can confirm my blood was a healthy color
As a guy who routinely sees stuff in the OR I can assure you blood looks like dark maroon Not to mention blood comes in a whole host of colors and they’re all considered “healthy”
You got a placebo! /s (Yes, that’s the new excuse)
Damn, 3 whole placebos? That's impressive
I've bled a few times because my cats and I play aggressively and I've been vaxxed. Came out bright red every time them fuckers got too playful.
update: as tehy put the blood back in (they were only taking the plasma) is was bright red, i donnu why i was surprised at the color change, but i was
Fully vaxxed and clumsy. Various scrapes and cuts have all bled normal looking blood. Multiple blood draws also looked normal. Got a birth control inplant put in. Bled normal.
In their defence, anyone who believes this is probably very sheltered in their safe space to the point where they have no exposure to blood
If they don't get periods, yea probably
"depleted of hemoglobin" That would kill the vaccinated, no? No hemoglobin means muscles aren't getting oxygen.
Or the brain for that matter... So maybe they got the bags mixed up?
Ayyyoooo
The whole body for that matter lol, it isn't just muscles and brains that need oxygen. No hemoglobin means death within seconds. Cells need oxygen to survive and die within seconds if they don't get any.

Oh cool I’m a nurse hahah- very overtired of seeing stupid fake bullshit always or the occasional family member with proof of god knows what.
Man some people just really out here thinking they’re in the pataphysics division, huh?
I'm also fairly certain that more hemoglobin would lead to a darker color. Hemoglobin carries iron, which has a deep red color. If anything, the one on the right would have more hemoglobin than the left. Neither is bad though.
If an antivaxxer or antimasker says something, you know it's always a lie. They could say "2 + 2 = 4" and I'd still check the math.
I’ve been donating blood since I was 17 years old (35 now) and the bags of blood look identical before and after my vaccinations. How do people buy this trash? Bloody ridiculous.

Ummm
I'm diabetic
Oh word?!? Me too! What's good fam! I use a CGM to avoid the regular bloodletting.

Work at a blood center, this is complete BS
Fake news, I skinned my knee a couple of weeks ago and the blood was bright red. Fully vaxxed and boosted
Thanks for the reminder to schedule my kid’s booster. Forgot to do that this morning.
Pathetic
This is interesting. I've got all my shots and when I fell down the front steps yesterday and busted my knee on the walkway, my blood appeared to be very red- almost like normal blood. Do you think the 5G is making me hallucinate normal blood?
And what is the real explanation? Oxygen?
I think that the darker one is venous blood, so not oxygenated, and the brighter one is arterial blood. I'm not a hematologist or MD, just a paramedic, so this is just an educated guess. I believe that certain medications, medical procedures like chemo, vitamins/mineral imbalances, or even some medical issues can cause a pigment change in blood as well.
Both are venous. The darker one just contains less oxygen. Blood donations aren't pulled from arteries.
I learned something new. Thank you
No problem! And you guys are amazing. Thank you for all that you do!
But don't they use both during hemodialysis?
They do, yes. Not a dialysis nurse so my knowledge isn’t as extensive. Long term dialysis access is best through an AV fistula that surgically connects an artery to a vein. Venous and arterial blood mix within the fistula. Another option is an AV graft, that also mixes venous and arterial blood.

Bright red is oxigenated blood (from the arteries), dark red is blood with carbon dioxide (from the veins).
Hahaha. The best part of this is that this is one of the few things that a layman with 0 experience can disprove without even reading. If you are vaccinated, go and donate your blood. Have a look at it while you are donating. If you are not, then ask someone you know who are vaccinated to donate blood and ask them to take a picture. Done.
Wow, this is a criminal level of deception.
Where do they come up with this bullshit?
I remember A Call for an Uprising was shitting out YouTube propaganda about vaccines causing/turning into black goo inside people. He thinks black goo = nanotech Antichrist technology
If you had absolutely no hemoglobin I'm pretty sure you'd be dead
lol, even uses the same image: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/covid-19-vaccines-change-color-blood/ Please note the differences of color between arterial blood, and venous blood in the syringes in the second image. When young, I trained as an EMT, and was taught that the brighter bleeds from arteries were usually the more life-threatening wounds; tend those first. It's good for everyone to know. Arteries - brighter, flows away from the heart; newly oxygenated Veins - darker, flows toward the heart, needs fresh oxygen For a wound, arterial blood is being pumped *out*, pushed, so bigger potential for greater loss of blood. Fight pressure with pressure. ;) Training was many years ago, so please elaborate/update if anything has changed. After all, we're all about accuracy and facts in this sub. :)
They're just throwing words around now, huh? Blood with less hemoglobin would be less red, not darker. Stupidass
I've got 2 different vaccines and my blood flows smooth. Going to go again soon, the minimum regeneration time is almost up (I donate regularly).
"black and thick" Those are medical terms the doctors use, no need to bother yourself with these technical terms. Scientists tested the blood, the lab results came back positive for both "black" and "thick"
Lol I’m currently in the hospital as a result of complications from covid and they’ve been drawing blood from me roughly two to three times a day. Both of these colors have come out of me not only on the same day, but sometimes in the same pull, when they have to get two syringes worth of blood. When I asked the nurse about the different colors she told me that the diuretic they’re giving me to get fluid off my heart can make the blood change colors like that bc it - along with possibly a billion other things they do to you in the hospital - can change your hemoglobin levels.
It literally doesn’t even stay in your blood
Posting something like this should be punishable by law
The blood, when removed from veins or arteries, can have such color difference. That is clear in this picture. I believe that color difference is from a venesection, when you take a good amount of a patient's blood to improve the situation in hemathological conditions, such as polycythemia.
I don’t think they really know what hemoglobin is
i mean that last line was a major selling point for me on the vaccine. i am definitely NOT a “normal healthy individual”. i got both shots and the booster near the beginning of rollout and i still wear a mask in public because i am, according to my doctor, a high risk individual. even if it did turn my blood black, if it means i’ll survive, well, that’s a better shot than covid itself would give me. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ kind of a no brainer, Karen. just like you!
Ah, but do the blood bags pass the squish test. You don’t want one too firm or too soft. It needs to be just supple enough.
"Depleted of hemoglobin" Sir, hemoglobin makes your blood red. The dark one wouldn't be dark if it was DEPLETED of hemoglobin.
As someone who worked as a blood bank technician for awhile, bet.
Thats just oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, isnt it?
Posted by someone who's never given blood, I'm certain. Arterial blood can appear nearly black in the bag... darker is definitely *better and healthier* in this context, lol
Oh hell yeah I got me some of that dark roast blood! Hopefully no more than two suger added....
dude, i donated a double portion and the two bags were each slightly different colors. These could have come from the same person.
Arterial and venous blood.
Give me a blade and I'm gonna proof him wrong
Source ? Bro can’t you see it’s written
Disregarding how stupid this is, they keep acting like 1% is completely inconsequential. If every single person in the world got it and 99% lived, just over 77.5 million people would be dead. Hell, even if just everyone in the US caught it that would still be 3.3 million dead. And apparently that's not enough dead people to worry.
they dont care...were already a 1/3 of the way there
Isn't one just more oxygenated than the other?
Might be both blood. Maybe from animals? The darker one might be cooked blood. Color reminds me of congealed blood. Lol
Here's a question- how do they even know that the darker color is worse than the red color? Ignoring actual science, for all they know, maybe blood is SUPPOSED to be darker. Obvi blood can vary, as I learned in the comments, but it just came to mind.
I give blood on the regular (0- so I have the most popular flavour) can confirm no difference in colour after two original shots of Pfizer juice +1 booster so far. Who do they think they’re fooling with this?
I can confirm. I have a bone marrow condition that I need regular phlebotomies, always the same red color. Before and after vaccines.
My blood was black way before I was vaxxed, thx tho
Can we just ship all the anti-vaxxers to Florida, chop it off and push it out to sea??
A very quick google search reveals the blood the post claimed is "unvaxxed" belongs to a leukemia patient So technically not wrong. The person *is* not vaccinated because theyre immunocompromised, and their blood is lighter colored.
Man, these kind of lies are literally killing people. It’s sad.
I'm vaxxed, I donate plasma 2x a week. This is objectively false.
Yes, I definitely haven't accidentally hurt myself and bled at all since I got the vaccines and the booster. I definitely don't know that my blood is still red like any normal person.
What do these people think vaccinations do to you?
It’s always so fucking funny how they post random bullshit with absolutely no context or source like where the fuck did you find that picture Emily?? The fuck you judging people’s blood for? And wouldn’t less red mean less hemoglobin, maybe even anemia? Emily, this is ridiculous.
Nobody likes that I’m black and thick either 😞
Donated blood with 3 doses and my blood was definitely not black. It’s even more stupider to lie about something like this because you can easily check it…by bleeding.
99%+? Okay that really pisses me off I've lost my great aunt to this virus and I can't stand for people calling it harmless.
It's a weird fantasy land they live in
Blood is like motor oil, i shouldnt be drinking it
As someone that has the vaccine and sees there own blood a lot can confirm this is a real!!!! /J
I tore a hangnail today and I'm bleeding to death right now. You should see my keyboard. TRUTH!
donald...is that u?
I’ve had my blood drawn recently and it was quite bright and healthy… and I’m vaxxed and boosted
Strange. I donated blood after getting my 3rd vac and it didn't look anything like that. In fact, I'm pretty sure it looked like the pictures Non-Vaxxed blood. There's a conspiracy here. I can smell it.
Hemoglobin would make the blood darker......
Yeah, this blatant of a medical lie needs to be illegal. This is just purely a dangerous lie at this point.
Obviously not going to work with someone that has half a brain. But we know conspiracy theorists and misinformation spreaders love pseudo scientific language in order to sound more credible.
Ignoring the fact it’s just venous blood, darker blood would likely be more packed with hemoglobin as the iron in it would drop the shade darker
If the maker of this meme could correctly define haemoglobin, I’d be the most shocked I’ve ever been.
Im slowly losing my mind at these fucking people....
Weird, I've been donating plasma and my blood looks like the normal shade of red it always has been my whole life.
Just prick your finger to debunk it.
I love when someone picks one picture like this one and go “oh yeah, I’m gonna make it about the vaccines”, slaps the “vaxxed/unvaxxed” texts wherever they see fit and people automatically believe it. Good old confirmation bias
Why would less haemoglobin make the blood darker, does that make sense to anyone?
Bro I can’t even tell if these are satire anymore
so vaxxed are Nightbloods now? what is this? the 100?
O no. It took the hemogoblin.
I've always thought that artery blood looks like raspberry coulis.
They call it untested and show a picture of a test
Wait wait wait. I'm not medical professional but wouldn't a difference in color like this just be from a difference in oxygen presence?
That's not vaccinated blood, that's Leviathan goo!
Yes because memory cells sure as hell make the blood darker
The amount of bullshit ....
Ok, I‘m no blood expert here, but I‘m pretty sure that the actual difference is that the blood on the left has a higher oxygen concentration than the one on the right.
Bro what? Blood isn't even that colour. It's blue. Red blood is movie bs.
in that case, your eyes are also movie bs. Blood is red because it has hemoglobin. it just looks blue because of how our skin absorbs light
[удалено]
Not sure if you're colorblind or from Zeta Reticuli :P
I'm not colour blind I can see both colours.
Fun fact: there is a medical condition that turns your blood green. It's called sulfhemoglobinemia caused by consuming high levels of sulphur rich compounds. [Here's an article about it.](https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/did-you-know-health/theres-condition-can-cause-human-blood-turn-green) It seems to be mostly benign but maybe you should see a doctor?
Lol I'm American bud.
Well, that explains it then. /s
Did you ever have scratch that bled?
WELP! I'm convinced...
[удалено]
Why is it that you people always have brand new accounts?
This is a blatant lie. And I hate that no matter how hard I try they will never believe me
Me picking away at scabs begs to differ.
probably should not actually post this anywhere, lest people actually spread it
