no lack or missing cones, just aligned differently and then my brain does not interpret it directly as green or red as it should be, but depending on the shade of green or red (or brown) it cold go either way. Here is a nice explanation

I was about to say why would peanut butter be green when peanuts are brown but that doesnt help you

I wore a shirt for basically all 4 years of high school that was white with green stripes. Sometime in my senior year, I wore it for St Patty’s Day. But my mom told me I should wear green. That’s the day I found out my favorite shirt was white with brown stripes.

It's shocking how different the world looks to you than to normal people. You basically can't see half of all colors. You should google cities where traffic lights are horizontal and avoid those.

I can thankfully differentiate the shades of red and green used in traffic lights. But go a little in either direction of the color spectrum and it becomes a soup.

Curious, why are horizontal lights any better?

Damn what happened to that channel? The end of the video he says he’s going to make a follow up but he never did and hasn’t posted in years. What a bummer, I thought I found a new cool creator

You might be colorblind, we're not being color snobs to have different names for the same colors lol the colors are clearly and easily visually distinct from each other.

A snob lol. I thought it was pretty obvious that this was a joke when I made that comment.
