There was no word for purple back then.
I can't argue with his point.

Until you cook them. Then they’re purple-ly clear.
FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 years ago
or you cook them with a base, like baking soda, then they turn green

Is this that “alchemy” thing I’ve heard so much about?
Schmoo@slrpnk.net 2 years ago
Or soak them in vinegar and they turn pink.

Looks great mate, no one would notice if they don’t know.
Also I think the template in itself is funny in an anti joke kind of way where you expect him to be protesting something but then he’s just holding up an empty piece of cardboard really passionately lol.

They also taste nasty because they’re onions.

muriatic acid tastes less like acid than onions.

And gross. Petition to replace all onions with their vastly superior cousins, the shallot.

This comment is clearly racist towards the whole of Eastern Europe. I’m reporting it right away.

They can be purplish in some growth stages but on the whole they are a deep red, a crimson. Unless my eyes are just broken.

About half of the pictures I see are Purple.
Rodeo@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
None of those are red. They’re all close to red, but none of them are actually red.
wishthane@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Anthocyanins are responsible for the color and they act as a pH indicator, changing color from bright red in acid to bright blue in basic solutions. Soil acidity could have an impact on their color at harvest, but it also really depends on how you use them. If you put them raw in a salad, they’ll probably turn quite red regardless, but it’s also quite common to find them as a purple color.

Tor?
MxM111@kbin.social 2 years ago
I can. Easily. But then, I have color perception deficiency. But do not luck ability to argue as compensation.

Same with red cabbages.
Its a conspiracy by Big Red to profit from infringing on Purple’s intellectual property. All the other primary colours are in cahoots. Its time to take down their shadowy cabal.

it was named before purple was invented
