Hey,
I know this isn’t exactly a post about my day-to-day teenage years, but an internet phenomenon has occurred.
So overnight the world moved on from making jokes about auditioning for musical roles to obsessing over the colour of a dress. The world seems utterly split on whether it is white and gold or black and blue and even lead to it trending on Twitter! It even led to a giant group debate on Facebook between many of my friends. Many were claiming to see just one set of colours while others claimed to have the colour they see change.
This debate carried on into college and actually led to discussion of the dress being banned outright by the head of sixth form as we were spending too much time discussing it and not enough working.
The #blackandblue and #whiteandgold hashtags started to trend early last evening and are still trending now as I am writing this! This hashtag emerged after a photo of the dress emerged onto social media websites such as Tumblr and Facebook with the question ‘Help settle a debate! What colour is this?’
Suddenly the world went mad. Millions were claiming the dress was black and blue, with another million claiming it was white and gold! The internet sure is a strange place.
Many theories emerged from this as to why the colours change. These theories ranged from eye sensitivity, cones in your eyes, theories ranging from the hunter gatherer day or the colour you saw varied depending on how stressed you are!
But fear not, friends. This question has been solved by the team at ASAPscience! Can we do something more productive now?
Until next time,
Megan
