<p>Haven't you ever wondered about something, and you're too embarrassed to ask, and there's no point in looking it up because knowing the answer won't really help you achieve anything important, thus that would just be a waste of your time unless you're the kind of person who really likes to look stuff up. You know, usually those people are the kinds of people who like to surf Wikipedia when they're bored? Or maybe you just don't look stuff up because when you start wondering about something, it just happens that there just isn't a computer near, and by the time you have access to a computer, you have already forgotten your question.</p>
<p>Anyway, post your questions here. You can answer some questions here if you'd like too, but YOU CAN'T SEARCH IT UP AND ANSWER HERE. Only answer if the info is coming from your own knowledge. If you search up a question, keep the information to yourself.</p>
<p>I'll start: How come there's like no Asian cheese? There's American cheeses and European cheeses, and I know of at least two types of African cheeses.</p>
<p>I just edited my post to include a new rule before I read your post. I was afraid this was going to happen! Now there is no more mystery in my wonderment of Asian cheeses.</p>
<p>If people really wanted to know answers, they would look it up themselves. If you’re able to post here, then you should have access to a search engine. I just wanted to let people show off how profound and thoughtful they are, or show off their knowledge of random things.</p>
<p>I wonder if we all see the same colors, and if there is any way to test that. Blue to me could be what I think red is to another person. How do you describe a color to someone without using other colors in your description?</p>
<p>^that’s definitely not what s/he means.
Take me for example, my left eye is weaker than my right eye…without my glasses, the same color looks darker through my left eye than it looks through my right eye.
So it’s like: is dark blue the same shade through everyone’s eyes?</p>
<p>^^Did you just mash your forehead against the keyboard when you created your username?</p>
<p>That won’t work. What if I see something as red, and to you, it’s red to you but the color you’re seeing and perceiving as red is a color that I perceive to be blue. But it’s still called red to both of us? Basically, I’m just asking if we would know if our brains perceive colors differently. </p>
<p>I don’t think I clarified my question at all. Someone, help?</p>
<p>^ Kind of. But I’m more wondering (I bet A LOT of people wonder this) if, to put it simply, blue to me is blue to you.</p>
<p>Are you talking about neurological disorders or just confused naming? </p>
<p>For instance, blue is X red, X blue, and X yellow. Someone could see that and we would perceive it as blue, but they know it as red. As if when they were growing up the color red and the color blue were swapped?</p>
<p>To the one who talked about shades, just create custom colors with X red X blue and X yellow, then ask what shade they see. </p>
<p>And this was my RuneScape username a bit ago.</p>
Australia/Oceania (NOT the Big Brother country in 1984).</p>
<p>As for the color thing, what was meant was that there’s no way to tell that the color I perceive as “Blue” is not perceived as what I call “Yellow” by someone else. They could have completely different colors assigned to their words.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p>What color is a yellow pencil? Yellow, of course. But the color I am calling yellow could be what you are calling blue, and neither of us would ever know. There’s no way to test this.</p>
<p>Okay, so I see bananas as yellow. When I ask someone else what color bananas are, he/she would say yellow. What if I see yellow and they see what I know as green, but they know it as yellow… uhhh… I’m wondering, if I could put myself into someone else’s body and use their eyes and brains, and look at a banana, would it look like what I know to be yellow, or would it look like what I know to be green?</p>
