This is much more likely to actually hang on someone's wall.

I'm a vagina with a pH of 4

I better block this instance. I'm not here to see sinful content like chemistry.

So based it's purple.

I think...I'm acidic?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

oh shit those colors are a standard?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, because most universal pH testers will use the same indicators.

[–] RampantParanoia2365 2 points 10 months ago

I have a feeling it's the other way around. They use the same indicators because it's standard.

Theres some slight variance, but generally, because they usually use the same indicators, the resulting colours will be the same across most tests.

E: Double post because lag, oh well.

Y’all don’t use digital ph meters?

I follow Bruce Lee's advice and keep my PH at 7 so I can be like water.

I am a pool with a ph of 7.4.

...or basic.

Why in God's name would you want a pool test strip on your wall?

I have a proposal: what if we map where you are in the Gender Spectrum like we map colors? Red is how much female you feel, Blue how much male and Green how much you are willing to change sex or something...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Have you seen the terrible gender input controls?

Hey! This even has голубой!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Today I learned a color, that its etymology is tied to pigeons, and that it's also used (in certain contexts) to mean ideal as well as a slang term for gay (possibly as a pejorative?)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

. . .

Kinda, but I was talking only about color. Also it's not perjorative. Perjorative version is гей which is transliteration of gay.

Also сизый is color too. And сизый голубь is common pigeon.

I'm neutral pH=07.
