  1. Color TV implies “full color”, black and white are only two colors of many.

  2. Towels collect skin cells and get wet when used, which can enable the growth of mold if not dried quickly enough.

  3. Depends on how many of the nurse’s clients become the husband’s clients.

  I used the calculator to write “5318008” so it looks like it says “BOOBIES” upside-down.

  Do I pass?

      On the other hand, the nurse has potential for a returning customer base. The husband does not. She can keep getting paid the longer her customers live, so it’s more a question of short term profits over long term sustainability.

      Oh who am I kidding? This is capitalism we’re talking about, they’ll always choose short term profits.

    isn’t there a difference between pigment/light and how it is interperted?. Like isn’t black the absent of color. White is all the bands of light at once while pigment black is all the colors at once but yet it is not the blackest of all blacks so they don’t even make black that way.

    • zikzak025@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yeah, additive vs subtractive color. Our eyes see light but light is reflected by pigment.

      Pigment determines which colors are subtracted from light, so combining all pigments gives you black (little to no light reflected). But combining different colors of light gives you white, if nothing is being absorbed.

  1. “Color” means “multicolor” lol
  2. You’re still wet, and the water on you is dirty.
  3. She’d be caught if committing frequent malpractice - especially if they are buried in husband’s coffins - and there are enough people dying normally who can be recommended to not need to risk it. So yes.

  1. black and white may be colors, but a tv is mono chrome because it is referring to information that is transferred. the flattening of the picture to only two colors, no matter what the chosen colors are is a loss of transferred data.
  2. no cleaning happens in isolation, and no cleaning is perfect, the towel absorbs not only remaining filth, but also the environment the towels is in, being consistently damp, in a facility where one does other activities. It will accumulate filth that prevent perpetual use of a towel.
  3. the nurse can be trusted up to and until a death. due to the available options of casket providers, the nurses main strategy assuming contradictory motivations from the patient, would be to assist the survivors in the choice of casket. there will never be a shortage of a need of caskets, there need only be the approachable advertisement.

  I have a bachelor’s in physics, and I spent a year in Tanzania. A college student showed me their physics textbook that was straight text (no graphics at all) in what looked like a notebook, and I swear the whole thing sounded like this. I have no idea how they learn physics in Tanzania.

  The second question is silly: “what makes a towel dirt?” Worms, of course!

  For the towel to become dirt, you need a nice composting environment and 2+ years. It’ll go best if you turn it from time to time.

  The final step is for the worms to eat the leftovers. Then the towel has officially become dirt that’s indistinguishable from the other dirt that surrounds it 👍

      It will break down into mostly carbon dioxide and water after a 20-200 years depending on how much UV light hits it (and friction). There won’t be anything for worms to eat!

  1 Trick question, for a black and white color projecting televisions white is all colors and black is the absence of color but the naming convention is more about the range of possible colors than technical accuracy.

  2 The particles and microbes in the air land on the towel and adding moisture promotes bacterial growth, so even if you exfoliate it will get dirty just by existing in a moist environment. Or you dodn’t wash well enough.

  3 Generally yes, because their care is going to be more scrutinized due to the perception of a conflict of interest.

  1) neither black nor white are colours, they are shades.

  2) nothing, but the towel gets wet, and then dries, gets wet again, dries again, and after so many reptations it will smell weird. also, if your bath and toilet are in the same room, flushing the toilet sends particles into the air, which would be absorbed into the towel over time.

  3) it is entirely dependent on the nurse’s track record. if she has a high number of patient fatalities, no; if not, yes.

  Things can be black and white, but if a thing is neither black nor white but it is black or white on television, than it is not colored.

  Towel gets slightly dirtier after bath, because as soon as you live bath, you start to slowly get dirtier, and those few seconds between bath and towel is enough time to get enough dirty so the towel get dirty from you.

  No, you should not trust nurse whose husband sells coffins, because in the world we live, almost every person on earth is poor, so its more economically effective for nurse to do hers job worse, so that her husband can get more money from more people buying coffins, because coffins are very expensive.

  So many people think that it’s some big gotcha that “black and white aren’t colors” but that’s not how language works. Color often refers to black or white. Try sticking to this gotcha at the paint store and see how much it’s appreciated.

  I’m so curious where this image came from. Is it a standardized test? What are they actually trying to test?

    This. Color is subjective perception anyways. They are labels we give to things to describe what our eyes see in normal lit conditions. There are no absolutes about it unless you are measuring pigment makeup or light wavelength, which are not colors in and of themselves, but factors that cause color. Color is in the mind.

    Someone with trianopia seeing a green leaf as blue doesn’t make the leaf not green to others, nor does the fact that it is green by consensus make it green to them. And this is all outside of the linguistic aspect of it, e.g. how long it even took a lot of languages to start differentiating blue and green as separate colors, which itself affects perception.

  Black is not a colour, white is not a colour. Invalid question.

  I don’t consider black or white, or gray, to be “colors”, there’s no hue, so, it’s just the brightness value. White is all the frequencies of visible light together. If it’s all colors, then it’s no one color, so it’s not a color, it’s just light with no color. Gray, and black are just less light with no color.

  Black, gray, and white are not colors.
