[–]SicDigital 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's what I think. IRL Wilfred just sits on the couch, probably sniffs the bong or whatever, but he's not really taking a rip. Hence, the bong isn't cleared. Personally, that's what makes the show so great: being [8} and imagining Wilfred as a real dog the whole time.

[–]golfjunkie 0 points1 point ago

This is pretty common in tv and movies, I've never understood it. You'd have to think that at least someone on the set has smoked weed before and knows that you would never leave a fully-milked bong.

[–]mcroft 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

When I were a lad, young and poor, my friends and I would quite often have only two joints to go round, so would make a bong out of a plastic bottle which had strict rules. You could only toke one lungful and you weren't aloud to clear it until the joint was dead, meaning everyone passed on quickly.

That way, the first person never hogged it and it was like the most glorious game of pass-the-parcel you can possibly imagine.

I love Wilfred. I really hope it continues beyond one season. This sort of show gets cancelled quickly so I'm really hoping it doesn't happen to this show. The show is so funny, intelligent and Elijah plays a great main character in addition to Jason Gann.

[–]bigs1 1 point2 points ago

Have you seen the original Australian series? Wilfred is played by the same actor but the rest of the cast is different.

I've seen a clip on youtube. It looked a lot different.. More raw and Wilfred looked more intimidating I guess. Both versions are great.

[–]Sparky_Z 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

What is the basis for that? I imagine analysis of the cones and their interaction with light could reveal the wavelength ranges they respond to and how they mix, but how could anyone possibly tell that the ranges are perceived specifically as yellow and blue?

[–]So_Fresh 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I instantly thought it was probably just an artist's best representation using what we know. Dogs are dichromats though and from what I understand certain humans with colour blindness are also dichromats, maybe they did some crazy science shit?

[–]ofisnothavedamnit 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Dogs and I have similar color perception. As such, I can assure you violets are violet colored and roses are rose colored.

(No but seriously, I see roses as red and violets as blue. My red probably isn't the same as your red but it is relatively simple for a dichromat to distinguish between colors that are on complete opposite ends of the spectrum such as red and blue. If you were comparing grass and dog poop then both I and the dog would claim that grass is regreen and dog poop is regreen.)

[–]bast902 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

according to here(ctrl+f yellow) it's speculated that the colourist made them yellow because bart and lisa, with no hairline, would look too strange with a normal skin tone, so they took the cartoony approach and Groening was like "marge has yellow skin and blue hair? awesome!" and thus the simpsons were yellow. although it doesn't explicitly say why yellow was chosen, David Silverman would probably know if it was because the show was originally supposed to be from the viewpoint of a dog.

[–]nugz85 1 point2 points ago

So people should stop training dogs for the blind and start training cats(at least as far as streetlights are concerned). Or change the colors of the street lights to make them more 'dog friendly'.

[–]zserf 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I hate the term red-green colorblind. I'm green color deficient, and people always assume that I can't tell the difference between red and green. It's green and grey that I have trouble with.

Edit: The reason I dislike red-green colorblind is because people have three types of cones: red, green and blue. Most people who have "red-green" colorblindness have a problem with either red, or green, which can make the two colors appear the same. They may be missing all or some of their red and/or green cones. Basically, it's a gross simplification of how colorblindness actually works.

[–]bluetoyoutoo 39 points40 points ago

Dogs do not have L-Cones which means they cannot see red, but can see blue and green – Dogs also have many times less cone cells in their eyes, which causes colors to appear approximately 7x less vibrant than to human eyes. However, on the upside, they have a reflective surface behind the retina which greatly increases their night vision. The more you know.

Consider the possibility that the dog's experience of the world is a combination of sight and scent, with scent dominating, instead of sight. By that reckoning, to a dog, a rose is more rosy than we can possibly experience firsthand.

The dog analyzes the composition of the rose on a far more granular level than we can, and part of that even includes information about the rose's invisible past. Just as we can look at a damaged jawa sandcrawler and conclude that unusually accurate imperial marksmen disabled it, a dog can smell a rose and know who has been there before, or when the rose last received rainfall, etc.

Biodiversity is awesome.

TYL dogs actually have near-full range of color vision.

They one have 2 color receptors in their eyes, though, unlike humans who have three.

What that means is that they cannot differentiate between two similar colors like we can. For example, where we see, orange, red, AND orange-red, dogs can only see either orange or red.

It took me longer than I'm going to admit to realise what the standard poem was about.

The color rose is actually pink. The color violet is purple. The respective flowers are red and blue.

I love that show! Too bad that dogs are only Red/Green colorblind. They can see blue and yellow. Technically this is not true.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Far Side cartoons:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

At least that's what they tell me

I thought color blind meant they saw colours differently, and not in grayscale.

The jury is still out on the "dogs are color blind" thing. Lots of studies but no firm conclusions.

Don't dogs just not see red? That doesn't mean everything is gray.

Green actually. They have no receptors for green. They see in blues and reds.

That's not how color blindness works. If no receptors can pick up the color being reflected back, it'll look black. If receptors can't differentiate between colors, then you get gray or a tinted version. What humans see is "tinted" to the visible spectrum.
