Maybe we have some smart pandas here who can teach us something

Do other people see the same colors as us, and how do we know? Like there's no way to prove it. How do we know that my blue and your blue are the same if we call it blue? My blue could look pink for someone else but we still call it blue? It's just weird.

I think I might have an answer for you. People with darker irises see colors darker because the dark melanin absorbs some of the color. People with lighter irises see colors a little lighter. Most people fall along the spectrum. I'm not sure about the special cases, like people with two different colored eyes, though.

    Ok this is really embarrassing of a question, but just so you know, I’ve been closeted my whole life so… When someone says, for example, “My pronouns are she/they” does it mean that they go by either she/her OR they/them, or does it mean that their first pronoun is she and their second pronoun is them?

    Don’t fall for the indoctrination. Pronouns are set by language. If you are a man/boy/male, the pronouns are he and him. If you are a woman/girl/female, the pronouns are she and her. Anything else is incorrect

    Why do irises have a colour? Does it have any other function than to adjust the amount of light comin in to your eye?

    I want to know how people created coding. How did they come up with it? How and why are there so many programs? How did different functions come to be? Who came up with "hello world!"?
