Mostly...


It just donned on me that some people see veins as blue lol. Wow, my whole life is a lie. I guess some have a blue tint, especially on pale people, but all the veins I've seen are green mostly.

Makes you wonder just how different we see the world and each other. No wonder some hot girls always liked me and some didn't. They must've thought I had blue veins!

Hey! And that thing kids used to say when we were kids about blood being blue before it came out of us. No wonder!! They were making that shit up because they saw blue veins!!

They are kinda blue-green, especially depending on the lighting, but blue is the color that we've chosen to use. Kinda like red (orange?) hair.

Some of those blue boxes are hard to pick out for anyone.

Pretty much this. It varies from person to person, mostly depending on whether their skin is red-tinted or yellow-tinted.

They look blue-green to me, though the surrounding skin may accentuate the blue.

There is no word in this one, so I'd say the author's a bit of a RAT.

A lot of ancient cultures didnt actually distinguish between blue and green. Like the word for blue in Japan aoi can sometimes mean green depending on the context (like green traffic lights are considered aoi) even though a more recent word had been created to specifically refer to green (midori)

Yes.

Or neither.

They've always sort of looked bluish-green to me, so I've never really seen it as one over the other.

It just dawned on me that some people think the phrase is donned on me. I bet those people are a diamond dozen, for all intensive purposes.

Hey! And that thing kids used to say when we were kids about blood being blue before it came out of us. No wonder!! They were making that shit up because they saw blue veins!!

It's also where the phrase "blue bloods" comes from.

Rich people didn't need to work outside. Poor people did. So for most of human history tan skin became associated with work and pale skin was a mark or wealth/nobility. And veins show up much better on pale skin than they do on tan skin, so the phrase generally became associated with the idea that the rich had "blue blood" (not literally).

It's really only over the last hundred years or so that things kind of flipped around. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution and Tech Revolution making it more common for people to work inside (and thus becoming pale, pasty weirdos), we sort of flopped around on the idea that pale now means "bad" and tan means "good". Which is why we have artificial tanning.

There was a similar shift in weight. Standards of beauty used to value women who were fatter (because it meant they didn't need to work, and were more likely to carry a baby to term successfully), while skinny (or worse, muscular) women were clearly laborers (and thus poor and probably malnourished). But then the greater abundance of food over the last hundred or so years shifted things so now we tend to associate fat with laziness and unhealthy diet, and skinniness with someone who takes the time and effort to take care of themselves.

Humans are funny.

He might not have. I think when accounts go into Purgatory the site just slaps them with the "not currently an active member" thing because the coding is kind of stupid.

A couple of those require some level of eye strain, but that one in particular is stupid. I couldn't see any letters and had to open paint to be certain. If there are any letters whatsoever, they're the precise same color as the background, meaning it doesn't matter what Buzzfeed tells you is right or wrong--breathtakingly enormous surprise and mind-shattering plot twist, I know--because the "correct" word ceases to be relevant.

I think I would describe them as blue even if it was the case that through the skin the color I was actually seeing was technically greenish. The fact that I'm seeing it through my skin means that the true color is a lot different than what I'm actually seeing.

Theres a feedback form where you can request your whole account and all your messages to be deleted. TC must have gotten upset with the site and filled out that form.
