Today, I had to explain to my friend that the world did not used to be black and white. It was just the pictures that were. She still doesn't believe me. She's eighteen. FML

Interestingly, there were only two or three different words for colors among primitive tribes.

There actually is (sadly) a group of people who still are convinced the world is flat.-begin sarcastic enthusiasm- They even have a website for discussion. -end sarcastic enthusiasm-

Your friend has the intelligence of someone mentally handicapped... Good things she's a girl, she might have a chance in this world lmao dumb girls get away with a lottt

She should spend more time with her grandparents...

In the beginning, the world was in full color. All older paintings are in color. Da Vinci lived in a colorful world. The French Revolution and Napoleon's Empire were all in full color. That all changed by the ascent of Queen Victoria to the throne in 1837. The most powerful monarch in the world was so full of gloom that she effectively turned the whole world to black and white. Even after her death, there was but a faint memory of the colorful world before her, and so it took a while for the world to recover its color. That's why both World Wars happened in black and white. The world only started to show signs of recovery during the sixties, but it wasn't until the spring of 1978 that color was recovered worldwide. This is my theory about how the world was black and white in the past.

Before 3D televisions came out, the world only had 2 dimensions. True story.

Wait..does that mean Technicolor wasn't created by a mad scientist to plague the world with color? My life is a lie!!!
