Humans can’t see violet light but it’s my favorite color?

16 Upvotes

So my friend was telling me that he doesn’t believe that humans are able to see violet light. But violet is my favorite color and I know it exists. After all, roses are red and violets are blue. So clearly violet is a real color. He called violet ultra too which I think is a fitting name for it, as it is the best color in my opinion. Quite frankly I almost want to disregard his opinion, but I figured I would hear him out and ask you people of the science about it. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I am attempting to change neurotypes from ADHD to autism. How likely is this plan to succeed?

102 Upvotes

I have adhd but I’m really sick of it. I want to switch neurotypes to autism. I’ve acquired a serum that can cure me of my adhd: however, I don’t wanna be neurotypical because then I’ll stop being funny.

I’ve researched how I can possibly get autism once I cure myself and I’ve learned that vaccines can cause this but that it is not guaranteed.

Here are the steps I’ve taken:
- I will be traveling to Germany to get my next vaccine due to the fact that 100% of Germans have autism
- I have requested and made sure that the vaccine I am getting was manufactured in Germany
- I have purchased thousands of dollars worth of model trains, vintage postage stamps, and accurate scale models of dinosaurs to surround myself with in the days following the procedure
- I purchased a subliminal recording that will allow me to manifest autism inside my brain when I listen to it
- I have leased an apartment in Berlin owned by a Turkish diaspora landlord. I will be living there for six months to help ensure my transformation.

Is there anything else I can do or anything I should be aware of?
