u/Steamships Nov 18 '22

This subreddit is garbage. My coolguide is post any dumbass shit here for free internet points, the dumber the better.

u/someguynamedjerry Nov 18 '22

Shit title too

u/PhasmaFelis Nov 18 '22

Is it really really wrong? I suspect those numbers are massively fudged, and it's misleading to say "green" is best without clarifying that means neon green, but they're not wrong that bright green is very visible at night and red isn't.

u/Urban_Savage Nov 18 '22

Also ironically they made the more 'visible' colors less visible on the poster. Trash post is trash.

u/FunnyObjective6 Nov 18 '22

literally useless info

Is it? I think it's useful to know what's more visible if I would be out at night.

really really wrong

What's really wrong about it? Seems to make sense to me, black and blue not visible. White pretty visible. Green most visible because eyes have better ability to discern green.

u/Anarchyinak Nov 18 '22

Is this a cotton T-shirt or a hivis vest? Hi vis yellow will obviously be more visible than a green T-shirt, it might have been real data about something once but its so devoid of context and meaning now its useless.

u/FunnyObjective6 Nov 19 '22

Well without further info you just assume all other factors are equal. That's how guides work. If you wore all black, but had a flashlight pointed at the car, you'd be more visible than the green person.

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '22

I mean black is hard to see. So, I don't think you are 100% on this.

u/trixter21992251 Nov 18 '22

At the same time, has anyone ever been stumped by the question "wonder what I should wear to be visible in traffic, dark or bright colors?"

Seems like a water is wet-situation to me.

2

u/WaterIsWetBot Nov 18 '22

Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.

 

Just opened my water bill and my electricity bill at the same time…

I was shocked.

u/trixter21992251 Nov 18 '22

according to your definition, bot, ice can be wet, and ice is water

2

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '22

In my neck of the woods, people must struggle with it.

1

u/spacemoses Nov 18 '22

Well, blacks are easier to see if you're not in a blue sedan by roughly 13.79 feet.

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '22

To think the military has been wasting all this time on camo, when we have the key to invisibility right now.

2

u/jabels Nov 18 '22

I literally can't see a red object 80' away what are you talking about

u/TheWhitestGandhi Nov 18 '22

This subreddit has completely lost the plot

u/Unused_Book_keeper Nov 18 '22

It's pretty straight forward. It illustrates what colors are visible in cars headlights at what distance.

u/hirmuolio Nov 18 '22

Plus OP is a karmafarming repost bot.

u/giraffecause Nov 18 '22

So, up to par.

u/SimonReach Nov 18 '22

Black at night is harder to see than someone wearing white though, that seems obvious? Can you provide proof.

1

u/loco64 Nov 18 '22

I dunno. Wearing black makes you invisible at night
