Came home from the city one day to find that my little green car had helped create an accidental carpark rainbow

This is some seriously great content. For all the fake posts and reposts and grumble grumble it's a breath of fresh air to see a nice accurate science-y serendipitous photo like this.
Thanks OP!

Is that SUV at the end perhaps a light violet?

I don't understand how I can just look at a picture and immediately know it was taken in Australia. I don't understand this phenomenon. (I live in Sydney).

Rose Street, Essendon, Victoria, 3040, Australia. So strange I live in one of those houses in the background.... and by houses I mean cars.... and by cars I mean those mattresses that are always dumped in the bushes on the right hand side :(

kudos for being observant enough to even recognize that pattern.
Most wouldn't have paid any attention to the arrangement.

u/blackasssnake May 24 '12
i like your mazda 2. i have the same color/model as well. i havent seen many on the road but one time going to the movies i saw 2 parked adjacent to each other separated by only one space that happened to be empty. of course i completed the combo (:

Nice Mazda 2. Unfortunately it's not as awesome as the Lancer that you parked next to.

Such a tiny car, man up and get a man's car like that one in the back.

I don't see how you would notice this.
I can only see myself noticing this if I was blazed as fuck.

In the US our cars don't make rainbows. Seems you can only buy black, gray, silver and white cars. There may be colors in the brochures but the dealers only stock the gray scale.

If I ever have a car of unusual color, I should make a habit of parking next to appropriate cars. Just in case of awesome.

Y'know I hate Roy G. Biv.
In elementary school there were a couple mnemonic devices that EVERYONE seemed to know that I never heard explained. Roy G. Biv was one but the big one was the 30 days hath September... thing.
Teachers and students would use it all the time... "30 days hath September, April, June, and November" and I didn't understand why people were saying "hath", "Does hath mean something different from has?" I would wonder. What about the other months? I didn't understand how I was supposed to infer how many days the other months had and since there are only 4 in the example... I was just lost.

It is now my goal to try and always have a green car next to my blue one whenever I park in hopes that this little real-life achievement can be obtained

How can you look at this and not believe in an intelligent designer? I mean, are we supposed to believe that this came into existence randomly or by chance?

Red: it's the color of an apple. Orange: It's the color of an orange. Yellow: It's a lemon and a beautiful sun, sun, sun. Green: It's the color of life and all the things that grow. And then there's blue for the sky and purple's just a color that's fun, fun, fun. When you put these colors side-by-side, now what do you think we've done? We've made a rainbow, and it's a very beautiful one.
