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

        🎵 Whether you hear it as Laurel or Yanny,

        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.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress#Scientific_explanations

      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

              You can perceive it however you want but the manufacturer was found and it was blue and black. Kinda figured that would be common knowledge by now.

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress

              The dress was black and blue, but the conditions of the photograph caused many to perceive it as white and gold, creating debate. Within a week, more than ten million tweets had mentioned the dress. The retailer of the dress, Roman Originals, reported a surge in sales and produced a one-off version in white and gold sold for charity.

        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?
