      Not sure where this is going but I’ve heard that crabs are actually only turning red when they’re dead and cooked (something, something capitalism?)

            I would have to explain color theory, and that shit is a cognitohazard.

            I don’t mean like ‘rokos basilisk’ “what if we reflavored the dumbest ideas of the dark ages, but cyberpunk flavor and with 200% more irrational dumbshit assumptions based on a pretty okay scifi story I read decades ago and now assume is a substitute for logic” ‘cognitohazard’ I mean genuinely shit that can break your brain, can consume you, can destroy you.

            so there is an answer, and when you even approach it, you will become the abyss into which others should not stare. may there be a god to help you, because I will be unable.

                I cannot explain that without defiling you. A portion of who I am now is forever locked away, a secret to the world, and should it ever be known I will destroy my audience, will drag them down into the incomprehensible dark alongside me. this is not a fate you should desire.

                just stay away from fucking color theory. there are three primary colors and you make other colors by combining them. black is no colors. white is all the colors at once. you don’t need to know anything else.

                    perfectly straightforward; you just reverse it. don’t think about it too hard. R G and B values each go from 0 to 255 (that’s 256 if you want to be a barbarian and avoid zero indexing).

                    all is well. you don’t need to think about it any more than that.
