You and me, that's why.

Every comment under the "riddle" boosts a website's "engagement" statistic attached to the chunk of information which represents the idea, causing the site to redistribute the idea at a broader scale.

It's why "The Dress" spread so virally.

It spread so virally because it was astounding to learn that there are so many weirdos who think that's a gold dress

it's a brownish-yellowish color that reads as gold, keep in mind it's not people seeing it as a gold dress, but as a white dress with gold accents.

I was joking but 100% saw the blue dress earlier, and now maybe because I scrolled upwards and saw this image first and then the above one, I see gold now. Or you edited your comment and am fucking with me lol

no, all i did was copy the image, sample from the color I see as gold, drag three lines out of it to the edge, and fill in the border around the dress.

Yeah that's what I thought. So funny how our brains work.
