5692 - Why Your Brain Thinks These Strawberries Are Red

Why Your Brain Thinks These Strawberries Are Red, except Bilbo's brain. Right, Mr. Color Blind?

Even though this is 12 minutes long, it's a good explanation without wasting time with unnecessary verbiage. You know those videos where you holler,  "GET TO THE POINT!" at the screen. This video flows nicely and is over before you know it.

Actually, those strawberries looked maroon to me.

Kirk - Maybe your eyes' red rods have faded a little.

Elephant's Child said...

My brain hurts. And I agree with Kirk. Those strawberries were not very red.

Bilbo said...

Who cares? I let Agnes pick out the strawberries at the store.

If you submerge strawberries in salt water . oftem maggots will come crawling out. Enjoy your vegan fruit.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

Hmm....but why?

Mike said...

Sue - OK OK, maroon strawberries. 😜

Bill - Do you trust Agnes? What if she likes green strawberries?

Stu - Protein!

Peg - Hmmmmm ... But why? Now I'm thinking about butt Y. I gotta go, I'll be back.

FYI ; Strawberries are actually (multi-)fruit, not berries at all.

Kathy G said...

Those were the most 'non-red' red strawberries I've ever seen.

Mike said...

Stu - Good article on strawberries and other fruit with bugs. And I was right, MORE protein! https://www.health.com/food/strawberry-worms-video

Kathy - But what did your brain think they were? Maybe your brain didn't want to argue with your eyes. 😁

I watched only four minutes and like Kirk, those strawberries seen through that filter aren't exactly red, they're darker. Then they switched to the paper strawberries which they called red but are actually pink! Then I gave up watching. If they can't tell pink from red I'm not listening.

River - HA! 😄
