I can't accept drum and bass, we need jungle I'm afraid.

Yeah this. Shortly before he left the church, a friend of mine's pastor told him not to recycle because it delays the end times. These people want Armageddon and think they're doing god's work by hurrying it along.
Yeah I'd have been interested to know how long it would take to suitably warm up from the surface. I guess we'll never know.
I have an app called Star Walk 2 that does something very similar. Notifications about cool shit happening and then helps you to look in the right direction for it, including ISS fly-bys.
It doesn't excuse it but in my town there is literally nothing (free) for teenagers to do besides one lowly skate ramp. Bored kids find their own fun and some of the blame for their destructive behaviour must lie with the town planners who ignore the younger population.
you're absolutely making things up
I could tell you what I see but you wouldn't believe me anyway.
I was trying to show that not everyone perceives the world around them in the same way, and most people find it fascinating when they take a step back to really think about it. But you've already decided that simply not being able to see colors in the same way as you makes me inherently wrong, so I'm not going to engage any further.
Yes I understand the meme and I'm not trying to get into an argument. I'm just trying to educate as to why relying on color as the primary differentiator is not a solution to the problem as proposed.
at a glance, color is a much faster tool we use to identify these icons
Think about what you're saying here, and consider how ridiculous it would sound if you said that to someone who was completely blind.
Sure, to a "color normal" person, something's color is a great differentiator, but even when using a colorblind friendly pallette it's just far easier for us to distinguish different shapes than colors. We've spent our whole lives adapting to a lack of color information so asking us to be able to work purely on color alone is like asking a blind person to see.
Again, and this part is really important and oft overlooked - this applies even when a designer has gone out of their way to choose a colorblind friendly pallette. It's just not that easy for us. I honestly couldn't even tell you what Google's corporate pallette is without looking and I'm sure that information is second nature to normies.
Nope. The icons are honestly good enough as they are, but the original post was being disingenuous in suggesting they're no more distinguishable than squares.
Running with that logic, having each square a different color does not solve the problem for those of us who can't easily distinguish those colors.
Yes, but the original post is suggesting that they're ambiguous enough to all be squares. Running with that concept, making a bunch of squares different colors doesn't fix the issue for those of us who can't easily identify those colors.
Except that the original post was contesting that those shapes are indistinguishable from each other. My point, therefore, is that the solution offered in the post I replied to would still be indistinguishable to 300 million people.
Problem solved! If we ignore the world's ~300 million colorblind people.
Back in the 2000s I used to have an app on my PC where I could enter my salary or hourly wage, hit a button when I went for a poop, hit it again when I got back and it would tell me how much I'd earned on the can.
Wonder if there's anything like that for phones these days?
