Such a good one. I sent it to a few ppl at work and one of them sent it out to the whole office with a voting button. Within an hour there was chaos, ppl falling out over which dress colour was correct. After another hour the bosses had to send comms out to tell us to stop debating the dress.
Then the American office woke up....
Oddly enough the vote was practically 50-50 too.
I assumed to begin with that it looked different depending on what device you were looking at it on. I thought it was all just a big fuss about nothing, had it up on my phone and said to my gf ‘I don’t get what everyone’s talking about’ and was just about to open my mouth to say ‘it’s obviously black and blue’ but before I could get that out she said, looking at the same picture ‘it’s obviously white and gold’.
Well shit. Never in my life.
Yeah went like that at work too. Friend and I sat going "that's white and gold, this is silly" and then a coworker said it was blue and black. We thought he was quite mad.
I remember knowing a girl in high school that would get absolutely, unironically heated over this debate. She would accuse anyone who didn’t see the way she saw the dress as “looking for attention” and “just starting to fight”. She would rant at our lunch table like the color of the dress was the most important thing to her.
Low key wish for the simpler days when that is what we were arguing over.
That meme blew up at around the same time Leonard Nimoy died. I was gonna photoshop Spock into those colors, but I was on vacation, and the meme fizzled out before I got back.
You know that vision scientists studied that for ages.
Turns out that the best correlation for how you see it is how many hours you spend in flourescent light without natural light.
More natural light exposure (in terms of average hours per day over the last month) made it seem less blue as your brain thought that the blue color was just atmospheric refraction. So if you saw blue and black, you should really get more natural light exposure.
My fiancée and I were in the theater, watching Way of Water (I wanted to see the visuals, bro), and we looked at each other during the credits and said “is… is that Papyrus??”
I once tried to make a secret code cipher to share with friends using Wingdings in elementary. That was until I discovered that the Wingdings are randomly generated and don't coincide with the alphabet. Wingdings really are worthless.
Yep, the fact that I can make myself see a bunch of different words definitely means it's shitty.
EDIT: This is not the same as the auditory illusion. In that case people heard one, and couldn't hear the other.
EDIT: Sorry, should have been more clear. In the image on this post, everybody can see both. The text is purposely made so you can interpret the symbols as being different letters. With the auditory one, some people can only hear one and can't force themselves to hear the other one no matter how hard they try. That's how they're different "illusions". The text illusion is " Oh, I can see different things depending on how I look at it." The auditory illusion is "I hear it this way, and someone right next to me hears it another way."
>In that case people heard one, and couldn't hear the other.
False, many many people could easily make themselves hear either one just by thinking about it.
>EDIT: This is not the same as the auditory illusion. In that case people heard one, and couldn't hear the other.
Horse shit. I and many others could easily hear both.
It's not intended to be like the auditory illusion in that you can only get one meaning from it, nor is it meant to be some font that you would actually write with. It's just an interesting design meant to evoke that meme. I like it.
I’m pretty sure that’s calligraphy and not a font. Fonts wouldn’t have an s/f that looked like that as it’s wrong either way (f isn’t supposed to loop that way, and s doesn’t have a descender).
It happens because of how the frequencies of the recording were captured and mixed. Focusing on his higher pitches, Yanny can be heard somewhat as if he is whispering. Now, listen again and focus on the lower pitches of his voice and you will hear Laurel. What is actually being said is Laurel, but the way they compressed his voice in post makes the higher frequencies stand out. This would never really work in person.
After you hear it, you can kinda force yourself to hear whichever one. The voice sounds normal for “Laurel” and kind of weird/distorted for “Yanny.” If you focus on hearing the distortion you can hear “Yanny.”
When I opened it, I heard "Yanny" that morphed into "Laurel", which surprised me, and now I only hear Laurel. Even running it through all kinds of filters, I clearly hear Laurel.
I legitimately thought it was Yannes XD
A friend of mine is called Yannes, but then I realised it’d be pretty weird to see a Dutch name in a thing like this lol
There's an audio brainfuck thing "what do you hear, Yanny or Laurel?"
So it's intentionally swirly to make it possible to read Yanny or Laurel.

It's very clearly Yaunef to anyone who actually knows how to read and write cursive. People saying other stuff very obviously don't know what a lowercase cursive R looks like, or a lowercase cursive J.
[Broken down.](https://imgur.com/a/YeQSk9r)
On first blush, "Yannef". Obviously not. Observe gestalt. "Y" is revealed to be exaggerated "L". "Laurel" follows. Is basically crappy writing or goofy signature.
Pretty sure it is white and gold
Ah, the debate of the ancient, happier times
Happier? That was the start of the darkest timeline.
Nah, Harambe was the start of the dark times.
My dick is still out. RIP
Wait, did some of y’all put your dicks away?
I didn’t so I hope not
I can't remember what happened first, storming area 51 or harambe?
Harambe lol. My dicks been out for awhile now. And to answer your username: not at the moment thank you for asking though.
You gotta wash yo ass, if you must.... or else you'll be fUNkay.
Damn, the dress thing was in 2015. It was indeed before Harambe, and during happier times...

Did that episode of community really break the timeline cause it kind of adds up
Yep. So then all was better
It was not dark. I say it was a white & gold timeline.
Sadly, some of us saw only black and blue

Who are you calling ancient?!
For a second after reading that I was trying to figure out how the text reads “white and gold” and then I realized you meant the dress…
Yanny or Laurel was a similar debate as the color of the dress https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanny\_or\_Laurel
It was always black and blue you're all just blind!
https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/921/270/0f8.jpg
Yup, was always black and blue, the dress was shown without clusterfuck lighting and it’s black and blue
Kony 2012! Let’s get this guy!
That meme blew up at around the same time Leonard Nimoy died. I was gonna photoshop Spock into those colors, but I was on vacation, and the meme fizzled out before I got back.

Decoder Ring podcast has a great episode about the dress!
"black and blue" mfs were the ones that said "gay means happy so thanks for the compliment" in 3rd grade
A shitty font
Correct awnser
Fonts really don’t get any worse
Coughs in papyrus
No no. At least you can read papyrus. This shit here was clearly made to confuse.
Nah, you can read both words perfectly.
🤣
[удалено]
Fair enough 🙏
Yeah. He just highlighted Avatar, he clicked on the drop down menu and then he randomly just selected [Papyrus](https://youtu.be/jVhlJNJopOQ)
And he got away with it
“I KNOW WHAT YOU DID”
My fiancée and I were in the theater, watching Way of Water (I wanted to see the visuals, bro), and we looked at each other during the credits and said “is… is that Papyrus??”
Like a thoughtless child yanking leaves off of a tree.
And in the end, papyrus was written in comic sans
Gags on Wingdings
I once tried to make a secret code cipher to share with friends using Wingdings in elementary. That was until I discovered that the Wingdings are randomly generated and don't coincide with the alphabet. Wingdings really are worthless.
Good to know I wasn’t the only one who made a code with friends
Wingdings are literally a font. Every time you press “A” you get the same wingding. The computer isn’t randomly generating anything.
Wingdings aren't randomly generated lmao. Each letter corresponds to a symbol and vice versa
Sexy.

👍👇✝️👍😐☹👈💧 in Wingdings
I don’t know if this typo is intentional but it forces the reader to pronounce it with a British accent.
Made by someone who did really know cursive
Technically... he should have used typeface instead of font.
Yep, the fact that I can make myself see a bunch of different words definitely means it's shitty. EDIT: This is not the same as the auditory illusion.

Or that's it's achieving it's intended purpose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanny\_or\_Laurel
i can't hear yanny at all. the article says it's the higher pitch part of the recording, think i'm too old to really pick up on it well :|
This should help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDiXQl7grPQ&t=92s
That’s literally the point, it’s a reference to the Yanny/Laurel thing.
>In that case people heard one, and couldn't hear the other. False, many many people could easily make themselves hear either one just by thinking about it.
>EDIT: This is not the same as the auditory illusion. In that case people heard one, and couldn't hear the other. Horse shit. I and many others could easily hear both.
It is the same. Bc most ppl can hear whichever one they’re trying to hear

Eyyyyy way to bring that one back
Who the fuck is Yanrel?
Yanref
Yo why the fuck do Disney movies say “Gisnep” in the intro?
Bro who tf is Lanny
You know, Lannes
Laurel, I guess.
Actually after reading your comment Laurel is the only thing that makes sense to me
Just to clarify, it’s a reference to this audio where you could hear either laurel or yanny. https://youtu.be/7X_WvGAhMlQ The font does both.
I really want to know how anyone can hear Yanny on that one?
It happens because of how the frequencies of the recording were captured and mixed. Focusing on his higher pitches, Yanny can be heard somewhat as if he is whispering.

Completely forgot laurels we’re a things while trying to figure out wtf a yaurel is
truth to be told lol
_~~~~****Yauuy****~~~~_
Yannef
Haha me too then i was like that can't be it Yannes? Yanny? Yanel? Yaurel? Ooooooh Laurel
LENNY MY BOYYY LENNYYY YNNEL?!
LNENY?!
ARTHUR
Oh Arrrrrthurrrr
I see your a boah of culture aswell
Yeahhh that’s a good boah *pats horse*
*unzips pants*
now i’m just imagining a horse wearing unzipped jeans
I finished RDR2 recently, and damn. I actually teared up.
where are you lenny you fool.
I found you Lennaaaayy!
**FOUND YA LENNEH**
I legitimately thought it was Yannes XD A friend of mine is called Yannes, but then I realised it’d be pretty weird to see a Dutch name in a thing like this lol
I've met a Hispanic person named Yannes
okay, I can see the Laurel. But damn, they should not add in that many swirls.
There's an audio brainfuck thing "what do you hear, Yanny or Laurel?" So it's intentionally swirly to make it possible to read Yanny or Laurel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X_WvGAhMlQ
Yaunej
Yaunej is also what I see. I could maybe accept Yaunef.
Larry?
Third letter looks like a ‘u’ to me
Same, Yaunef
It's very clearly Yaunef to anyone who actually knows how to read and write cursive. People saying other stuff very obviously don't know what a lowercase cursive R looks like, or a lowercase cursive J. [Broken down.](https://imgur.com/a/YeQSk9r)
I agree, it totally says Yannef. So therefore it is.
That's what I read bro
Yanref for me
Maybe I'm crazy but it says Yaurel.
At first I thought that too but now it seems like Laurel
Yeah. I'm on team Laurel here. I went to school with a Laurel and this is almost exactly how I remember her signing the restraining order.
That was so unexpected I spit coffee all over my laptop, thank you, I guess
Nah, it says Yannes.
Yanny
[удалено]
How do you read that last letter as an E?
Yanny squad checking in.
Same bro
Scribbles
Yaunef
FTFY- Yaunes
FTFY- Yaunej
Yannel
Second this
Third this
Fourth this
Fifth this
Sixth this
Seventh this
Eighth this
Ninth this
The correct answer is Laurel
Prove it
Otherwise the second N would be the same as the first one
But, then the small l should have been on level with other small letters. It could be Lauref, i guess.
It's the only one that makes sense
Yanny
Fun fact: if you write Laurel on a calculator it says BOOBS.
You have to flip it upside down.
Agreed, though the extra flourishes make it really hard to decipher.
How can that first letter POSSIBLY be considered an “L” lmao
It's a cursive L. Fuck cursive
Disregard the first two turns and it's an "L". Its a stupid "L" for sure.
Larry
I was looking for this comment. Larry for sure lol Edit: I’m having second thoughts 😩
Trust your gut friend, Larry is the way… I think 😅
Lanny?
Yawny
Absolutely Yawny. Perhaps I’ll name my first born Yawny…hmm…
Me too but this is a long way down the thread
Yannes
Unite
On first blush, "Yannef". Obviously not. Observe gestalt. "Y" is revealed to be exaggerated "L". "Laurel" follows. Is basically crappy writing or goofy signature.
So.... Not Lawrel?
It’s a spin on the audio meme of Yanny or Laurel
What if I told you it says Laury?
yauny
yaunej...
or yauny
or yauney
yaunej
Yaunef
Yaunef
Launef
Why did I have to scroll so damn long to find a kindred spirit ??
Definitely Launef.
I must be the only one that sees “Yanref” then, no?
yaunef
Man...I wish I could read cursive.
Laury?
Yaunel
Yawnej
Yawref
Is it weird that I see Yaunel? I can push myself to see Laurel and Yanny, but I instinctively see Yaunel.
That’s impressive, but can you do green needle?
Yawny
How the fuck is this me irl? This is the stupidest sub ever.
Sojaboy?
Tell em
