Why is everyone on FB losing their shit over a dress?

[cna]

I would rather see more Llamas.

[scattered]

I just came here to post this. Fucking fugly dress!

[Deleted]

Well...llamas are furry

Lol but yes who gaf about the dress?!

[lala]

Because I'm so confused about this dress!

[auroraloo]

I had conferences today, and I don't use my phone at work, or my work computer for non-work stuff. So I got home at 8:00 and am so, so confused by the internet today.

[ashb62]

Right? I don't get it.

[stevenpmorrissey]

Such a vile dress.

But this is disturbing. The Gawker test has me seeing black and blue. But everywhere else is white and gold.

I'm entirely way too invested in this horrid dress.

[cna]

I see a really ugly white and gold dress. It's like the entirety of the internet is smoking crack or something.

[stevenpmorrissey]

I returned back to the Gawker page. It's now white and gold.

I'm walking away from the dress now. Evil afoot, there is.

[cna]

Like, literally every other post on my news feed is about the fucking dress.

Did you know buzzfeed has a quiz about the llamas?

[dizzycooks]

I don't get it.

[NandaB]

I am convinced it isn't your eyes compensating for a lighting issue, or about rods and cones but rather a complicated social experiment. Like divergent but even more fucked up.

[NandaB]

Also, I'm team white & gold but my H, mil and G all say blue & black.


And N says camouflage, lol

I don't think so. I mean, how would that explain a picture changing right before my eyes? 

Like, I saw it as white & gold the first few times. Then I saw the same picture but maybe edited differently, and it was blue & black. Then, when I went back to the original picture it was blue & black. 

Now if I go to the original buzz feed, it's white & gold for a second and then changes to blue & black as I'm watching!

[iheartthe80s]

I don't get it at all. Ugly gold and white. So confused.

[iheartthe80s]

I meant I only white and gold. That's what I don't get.

and for the record I saw baby blue and brown...lol

Me too! I see no black. I see no white. I'm obviously broken.

[Deleted]

I saw baby blue and gold. I fail.

[momin2013]

O.k., I just opened a link to this, saw white and gold, then the white started to change to blue before my very eyes and I freaked out a little so I closed it.

[Skyesthelimit1212]

That fugly dress is white and gold. Even when I scrolled down and saw the same fugly dress in black and blue the first dress was STILL WHITE AND GOLD.

I stared at that thing for the longest time and it was still a white and gold dress. Why can't I see it change color?!?

[lala]

This isn't about a monitor or a different screen. It's more about how our brain sees color; the white balance of the picture, shadows/brightness, how our brain color corrects for us, etc. I think it's really quite fascinating and crazy at the same time.

Well, I was being tic, bit clearly if its changing colors before your eyes you must be crazy

[cna]

Everyone on the news saw blue and black. I still see white and gold.

[cna]

H saw blue and black. I fucking give up.

[thecheshirekat]

I saw white and gold every single time I looked at it except for once, when it was very clearly dark blue and black. And I was willing to accept that it was a gif that was changing and freaking people out, but the change happened for me on a friend's screenshot, so it can't be that. DH never saw white and gold and thinks I'm trying to screw with his head.
