Man behind viral dress to stand trial charged with trying to kill wife

I hate to keep bringing this up, but I don't think it counts as a "shit post" if you're just posting an actual real thing that you found in the news
I'm pretty sure that's just a regular news post
- I actually thought this was fake because it was posted here
  
  Same, I had to go look it up to make sure
- News about a shitpost?
- Anything and everything goes here.
  
  What's the point of it then? There are already like 50 news communities on here why do we need news posts here too?

I feel like we should put a rest to the term “breaking the internet.”
Am I the only one here completely out of the loop?
- Yeah nothing viral has really ever broken the internet.
  Ellen Degenerate’s Oscar tweet sort of broke Twitter briefly, I can’t think of much else.
  
  Nowadays Twitter breaks itself spontaneously, no celeb needed
  
  There was that CDN that went down a couple years ago, that literally broke the internet briefly
  
  Facebook fucking up their BGP 2 years ago broke the internet for like 1/3 of the world
  
  Which is less impressive considering a gentle breeze can break Twitter now.
  
  On the same topic, the Will Smith/Chris Rock Oscar slap pretty much saturated the internet for a few days
  
  And Gangnam style broke the youtube view counter too, but your point stands
  
  A Homestuck flash broke Newgrounds once
- The internet never breaks, it only splits

So black and blue, in the end, then.
- With a little red too.
- Orange is the new black and blue.
- It's blue and gold. I don't know why everyone else sees it wrong.
- Actually it's silver and bronze
- Oof
- in the end, then
  What they did on the honeymoon is their business.

Is his wife's name Yanny or Laurel?
- I'm putting my money on Gay Bowser.
  
  So long!
- Green needle

- Oh, wow... this is real
  
  Im just reading the article, and remembering the whole domestic abuse campaign the dress produced. Think this just really drove the point home for sure.

Still couldn't agree on the colour of it, eh?

Damn, it still looks blue to me.

That escalated quickly.

Next stop in the, I'm sure I'm living in the matrix. Fuckers lazy asf

the people seeing black and blue should use a color picker and find out for themselves
- I actually did use a color picker when this was first popular about a decade ago. It's black and blue.
- What's going wrong here where you seem unfamiliar with even the concept of white balance and/or color temperature being off in a photograph? You've seen it happen on your own cell phone camera.
  
  Petite see colors differently and moods can even change how they're perceived.
  Fun well supported theory: it's thought the last color humanity noticed was blue. The sky up until a certain point in history were often described as colors other than blue even on supposed clear sunny days.

  I'll try to find the actual paper on it, it's actually pretty fascinating.
- You troll.
- Hey, what colour is this shoe?
  
  I see cyan/gray, I guess others see white/pink?
  
  Pink for sure
  
  Pink?
  
  What are the options. I see like a creamy white and shiny green
