hey did you know your peripheral vision is made up

this box will change to a random color every five seconds. if you get it in your periphery just right, you should be able to see a color that just straight up isn't there! isn't that weird!

Eyes are stumbling into work on the first day, hung over, panicking, “oh man I can’t do this job properly, I’m so unqualified, idk how I got hired” and their old friend Brain just claps ‘em on the back, “bro, don’t worry, I’ll cover for you, I got this” and forty years later the scam is still going

idk it seems to just be slightly inaccurate for me. a little brighter, a little morr saturated, or a slightly different hue
edit: oh i think i just wasnt putting it far enough in my peripheral vision
edit 2: nope still 80% accurate 90% of the time

For me, when I stare away from my screen, with it to the side of my head and juuust inside my field of view, the color is correct… right up until it changes.

At that point, if I then turn to look at the screen, I see what color is really being displayed, and it’s consistently very different from what I thought it switched to while seeing it out of the edge of my vision
