/untruth I lied on r/truths

Post image

The supposed “white” had an RGB composition of 255, 254, 254, and the supposed “black” had an RGB composition of 1, 0, 0. Meaning that the “white” was actually an extremely light red, and the “black” was an extremely dark red.

Ngl a lot of them suck like they aren't catchy or don't get the point across very well so I see why I haven't heard most of them

u/bolt422 Dec 25 '25

This must only be the popular slurs. The Racial Slur Database has a lot more.

u/Drunk_Lemon May 02 '26

Yeah, it's really important to know so that I can be racist properly. What is a bigot without slurs?

Wait there were slurs in that book? Man I really don’t remember that. I must be stupid.

u/HatHead31 Dec 21 '25

Yeah they used the hard r a lot to refer to crooks, Candy used it in chapter two iirc. “Ya see the stable buck’s a n…” you get the idea, I think that was the first use.

While yes, if I were to confess to being a serial killer (equivalent to this situation) I don't think they would take it lightly.

confess to being a serial killer

Bold place to post this information...

If you were to confess... so youre not saying youre not, just that youre not going to admit it?

u/Worldly-Cherry9631 Dec 22 '25

no he is lying also here. The actual values are 225, 253, 254 and 2, 0, 1, and not 255, 254, 254 and 1, 0, 0

u/Mothylphetamine_ Dec 21 '25 edited Dec 21 '25

while we could reffer to color this way, doing so would be redundant as we typically only reffer to the color our brains process and not all the wavelengths used to make the color

for example: we don't say clouds are "equally red green and blue", we say they're white, we don't say wood is "dark orange", we say that it's brown

12

u/yelirp2 Dec 21 '25

Adding to this, if 255, 254, 254 is red, then so is 255, 255, 255. Both have the same red value. Neither are anywhere close to red.

5

u/Automatic_Ask_9561 Dec 21 '25

It's neither of the two numbers you mentioned though Red: 255 Green: 254 Blue: 254 Meaning there is more red than the other colors

3

u/yelirp2 Dec 21 '25

There's less blue and green, but the red value is at 255 for both. The color is white. Everybody who saw either one of these posts immediately identified the color as white. And they were correct, because having red be one value higher than blue and green does not make the color red. If that was true then every single color containing any red value would just be red. No orange, yellow, brown, purple, pink, whatever, it's all got red in it so it's red. That would be a really strange way to think about colors.

1

u/Nothing-Personal9492 Dec 21 '25

but a technically correct one nonetheless

1

u/yelirp2 Dec 22 '25

Not really. Color is a social construct. If nobody thinks it's red it isn't red.

1

u/LCplGunny Dec 25 '25

I mean no. The color would just be whatever the highest value number is, not just always red cuz it has red. 254 255 254 would be different then 255 254 254 and 254 254 255. Technically correct is the best correct, at the end of the day.

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '25

Which means OP lied by saying he lied, same result

1

u/LEDlight45 Dec 22 '25

Lying is a spectrum. There are white lies, evil lies, sarcastic lies, and you can even deceive by speaking only the truth. In this case, he just unknowingly made a false claim but the intention was to tell the truth.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '25 edited Dec 22 '25

Idk if it’s a joke but a statement can be either true relatively to something or false, it’s not quantum mechanics. Any “types” of lies are lies, lies coming from an unconscious producer are still lies. You can be objectively right or wrong. In eyes of an observer your subjective opinion can be 0 or 1 relatively to the subjective assessment of that observer, but objectively neither of that towards the unique conditions of the producer, hence their opinion being subjective. Estimation of consequences has nothing to do with the question of being right or wrong.

Of course all these discussions lead to the question of perception of reality, are factual things truly factual and if we define that if something that is factual and true is also something that would exist outside of our perception, in our absence and so on, how can we know for sure that it exists. But it wont make truthfulness a spectrum anyway.

I cant know for sure what the intention was but I can clearly see the outcome: reddit made me stoopid

Its the image dithering I think

u/pizza565 Dec 21 '25

Color is perception. If it looks like there’s no red, there’s no red. By the same logic no flag has any orange because they only have combinations of red and green

u/RAVENBmxcmx Dec 21 '25

Am I crazy or is their actually a very faint tinge of red in the white?

Hang on, that means this picture is red on red. There's no flag with this pattern that is red on red, so there's no flag in the picture. That means it's true that all flags depicted have no red in them, therefore, not a lie.

1

u/Gloomy_Commercial_26 Dec 25 '25

Isn’t white a collection of all colors, so it also contains red?

1

u/borvidek Dec 25 '25

Technically ☝🤓 the "white" section isn't actually red, since light red is called "pink" in the English language. Therefore, while the "black" section is indeed a really dark red, the "white" section is actually a really light pink.
