It’s just not possible for it to be white and gold.

Whether you prefer Oliver or Annie,

Brainstorm, Green Needle

Terrence Howard, Don Cheadle,

Still white and gold to me-e-e. 🎶

The Brainstorm Green needle one is fun, because you can also make it say Brain needle and Green Storm as well, its interactive.

There is no consensus on why the dress elicits such discordant perceptions.[31] The neuroscientists Bevil Conway and Jay Neitz believe they are a result of how the human brain perceives colour and chromatic adaptation.

The interesting thing, for me, is how people’s reactions to the dress sparked that many studies of the phenomenon.

The interesting thing for me is how badly I want one side to be wrong and one to be right. It’s weird that that feeling is there and so strong… for something seemingly insignificant

Me neither. Usually I can twist my brain to see illusions the other way, but even covering up the surroundings doesn’t flip it

Yeah, that’s interesting. Like you I can usually flip these back and forth. I only know it can be seen differently because half the world reports they see it differently. Weird, eh?
