As a colorblind person, fuck whoever decided on the colors for this image. I hope they meet a very angry porcupine.

As a dog, I'm wondering why you posted the exact same picture.
I know your comment was a joke, but am I right in saying dogs see monochromatic pictures in yellow and blue as opposed to black and white?
Interesting, everyone says they see black and white, but of course it doesn't have to be that, just monochrome where the filter can be two colours best suited for a dog.

Can you provide some detail on your comment? As a non colorblind person, I would like to understand how this image could have been modified to include our colorblind brethren.
I am red-green colorblind. So certain shades of colors like that I literally can't see. Blue and purple are issues, and certain shades of yellow and green.
In the image above, I cannot really see a difference in the extremes of the legend. The gradient is definitely not helping. I can see the difference when put near each other. Like Mississippi and New Mexico are clearly on opposite sides, but I would not be able to tell you which direction either leaned because I can't see what the legend is showing. Likewise most of the states mean nothing to me since they're part of the gradient itself going towards colors I can't distinguish a direction from. Without the numbers, this map would mean nothing to me.
Simply put, pick colors on opposite sides of the color wheel when trying to show differences like this with gradients and you're more likely to to okay. Don't pick colors that are next to each other. TRhis might as well have been a blue/purple gradient with an extra z-dimension for time or some crap,
It's not gray, almost no one actually sees in greyscale, despite the jokes. It's always just certain shades the eyes can't distinguish differences from.
A good example for other common colors, is peanut butter looks like a shade of like greenish tan or maybe dark khaki, not brown as most people describe it to me.
A decent resource to explain visually for those that can actually see the full range of color: https://enchroma.com/blogs/beyond-color/how-color-blind-see
Hey there, sorry to bother you even more, but I've got a follow up question. You said working with complementary colors ("opposite sides of the color wheel") might work better, so in general it's easier to distinguish for red-green colorblind people. I've always thought it was especially hard to distinguish red from green in those cases, but red and green are complementary colors. Where did I go wrong here? Is it something I misunderstood from your explanation or is it my understanding of red-green colorblindness that's just wrong?

It looks like going from blue (-20) to white to blue (+20). It could be modified by using a different color palette - for example blue/green, blue/red, yellow/blue. A good indicator is also if the colors are still discernable in grayscale altough this will be pretty much impossible on a divergent color scale unless you add a second identifier such as dots.

What a fantastic insult!
At least there are numbers.
I think this does a pretty good job for color blind people.

While most of the states with zero are searching for both equally, I get the feeling that Wyoming is zero because no one searches for either.
No one lives there
Probably not surprising tht Oppenheimer is furthest ahead in New Mexico. But why is Mississippi so into Barbie?
I assume because Mississippi is so horrible they need escapism to mentally survive. It's also possible there are more families with young children in the South.
Barbie looks like their hot cousin
It would be interesting to see a demographic breakdown of who is going to Barbie in MS.
Another possibility is that they're not watching Barbie more, just Oppenheimer less.

Los Alamos is worth a visit. The lab is locked down (a road goes through it, you are not supposed to take pictures), but there are a couple really neat museums. One of the retired age volunteers at the museum asked us how deep of a discussion we wanted. He went down a deeep rabbit hole of chemistry and mechanical bomb design. It was obvious he had strong knowledge of how atom bombs worked. It was glorious. And the boys boarding school is also neat.

This is Google trends, so it's not necessarily trending because they like the movie. It could be hate trending cuz of the "feminism"

Good to see the Dakotas keeping their feud going.
I only know that Oppenheimer is a movie because of that IMAX post the other day, but I now have to ask: there's a Barbie movie?
Yep and honestly the trailer is great.
The Barbie movie was a masterpiece
Lol New Mexico...
People watching the movie like it is a documentary about their neighborhood

Ah yes, the two genders
I don't get it. I know nothing of these two movies or what liking one or the other means.
2023 was the year Mississippi declared war on New Mexico.
I'm doing the 70mm IMAX with my son in Providence next Sunday. Gonna be awesome!
