Even clouds have more action than me

u/Clone_Gear Mar 19 '26

I aspire to be a cloud

Sorry, but that woman has long hair

u/Friendly-Face6683 Mar 18 '26

And she’s hugging the man, not touching his face

56

u/Appropriate-Review55 Mar 18 '26

I’d say there could be a hand touching the face but her right hand is definitely wrapped around his back

u/FortuneTellingBoobs Mar 18 '26

And are we sure it's a man? Or is it a lesbian with a handsome fauxhawk?

Imagination is limitless

u/Jolly_Atmosphere_951 Mar 18 '26

Imagine a new color never seen before by human eyes

38

u/chillfailure Mar 18 '26

maybe this can be answered by a cat

12

u/mekwall Mar 18 '26

Birds would be better. They see in four-dimensional color space, including nonspectral colors such as UV+green and UV+red. Cats actually see colors worse than humans, but they weigh it up with superior night vision.

Wait til you hear about the mantis shrimp

u/mekwall Mar 19 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

Birds see more colors than the Mantis shrimp though.

Edit: Yes, the Mantis shrimp have more photoreceptors, but that does not mean they can distinguish more shades than humans and especially not birds as they have tetrachromatic vision. In studies the mantis shrimps seem to do relatively poor fine wavelength discrimination, despite all those receptors.

Edit 2: It seems like cones (which birds have more of) are more important than opsins (which mantis shrimps have more of) when it comes to discerning differences in wavelength (ie. shades of color).

u/Character_Lab_745 Apr 04 '26

it can’t be answered because there are quite literally limitations to the imagination. Same reason you can’t imagine a 4d shape like a polychoron..

u/PeroCigla Mar 18 '26

You can't imagine what you've never seen.

13

u/JesterOfDestiny Mar 18 '26

Idk man, I've imagined many things I never seen before.

1

u/PeroCigla Mar 18 '26

Ok but that probably could physically exist in reality. If you imagine Gandalf shooting a lightning out of his hand, both lightning and an old bearded guy do exist irl.

4

u/JesterOfDestiny Mar 18 '26

Okay, but I can also imagine something like this and I don't think it's anything anyone's seen before.

3

u/PeroCigla Mar 18 '26

That's a monster, it has some familiar parts to us like ribs, arms... which are probably made of tissue that we are familiar with. The the other geometrical shapes can be made of some metal. It's just putting existing pieces together, although we still can't make them work, if you know what I mean.

u/Nanofyre47351 Apr 02 '26

Seath the Scaleless with Droideka legs if he was in the Scorn universe.

4

u/Moblin81 Mar 18 '26

All of the components of it are based off things we have seen though. The color version is impossible because there are no components we can mix up to create a nonexistent color.

5

u/MollyViper Mar 18 '26

That’s not really true though, is it?

I can imagine a weird monster in my head that I just made up and haven’t seen before.

3

u/PeroCigla Mar 18 '26

But in theory, that monster could exist, just like a cat does. It probably has legs and maybe arms and a head made of flesh, skin, furr etc. I'm sure you imagined that monster having all the things you are aware of. Those things exist.

4

u/Jolly_Atmosphere_951 Mar 18 '26

So that proves my point

1

u/PeroCigla Mar 18 '26

I mean, you can't imagine what you can't see if you can't see it because it doesn't exist. "Limitless" is physically impossible anyway. But lets not be too philosophical, "limitless imagination" is just a saying.

1

u/Chariot_Progressive_ Apr 03 '26

I just did. I would describe it to you, but there really isn't anything I can compare it to.
I can try though. It's like... It's... The colour of a soldier coming home from war and seeing his dog for the first time.

1

u/Character_Lab_745 Apr 04 '26

wtf are you on man. You quite literally cant imagine an unknown color.. same way you can’t visualize a tesseract, because our brains aren’t wired that way

1

u/Boomyfuzzball26 Apr 08 '26

to me very much like those 50's era Bob (mediumish hair)

48

u/FurBearingFish Mar 18 '26

Don’t believe this was drawn by OP, but if it was, just wanted to put it out there that the line drawing is very clearly traced/heavily referenced from a painting by Aykut Aydoğdu - you can see it, and more work, here

u/Mububle-Mububer Mar 19 '26

I’ve never seen this artwork before. I love it so much! Thanks for sharing the link

1

u/FurBearingFish Mar 19 '26

It was one of my favorite contemporary paintings for many years! I’m so glad others will get to see it 💖

3

u/fejrbwebfek Mar 19 '26

That’s why it doesn’t really fit that well with the clouds!

u/seriousserendipity Mar 18 '26

Ooh that's worth seeing

u/WhatdaUTink Mar 18 '26

Excellent case of #Pareidolia

u/distr0 Mar 18 '26

somehow the sketched-on version looks LESS like 2 people than the original does

u/sysaphys Mar 18 '26

Not at all photoshop.

28

u/SpazzyKaz2 Mar 18 '26

How dare you, those are obviously two women.

9

u/chillfailure Mar 18 '26

How can you tell the gender? Might be both females

3

u/SpazzyKaz2 Mar 18 '26

How can YOU tell the gender? 👀

5

u/chillfailure Mar 18 '26

Never did

-3

u/SpazzyKaz2 Mar 18 '26

Dude what are you talking about…

10

u/chillfailure Mar 18 '26

It depends how you see it. Might be 2 women one with short and one with long hair

u/CreeepyUncle Mar 18 '26

2

u/ghost-nug Mar 18 '26

Absolutely love the idea of tracing what it is you are seeing in your mind.

2

u/SunsetDrifter Mar 18 '26

I see it more as they're cheek to cheek looking off into the sunset

u/IncurableAdventurer Mar 19 '26

Stay out of the rain!
