it’s hard to chase after misinformation and misunderstandings online but i must once more insist that yes while the steam version of Cookie Clicker is 5 bucks the browser version is still and will forever remain free. no you do not have to buy it you can totally still play the free version forever if you’d like, it’s still gonna get updates with the same gameplay features over time. the paid game is just if you want C418 music/steam achievs/cloud saves/better modding and want to support us but i promise we’re not forcing you

I was going to just leave this in the tags but no, I've seen too many people misunderstand this and it's very simple and easy to explain so I don't know why anyone who shares this fun fact doesn't use this analogy.
so if you took a few leaves and threw them into a blender and pulverize them to as fine a paste that you could they would still be green. this is because chlorophyll has a green PIGMENT in it. now I can't speak to the base color of blue jay feathers so we're just going to talk about blue macaws for this example. If you went and put a Blue macaw feather in a blender and pulverized it to the finest powder that you could you would get black powder. this is because blue macaw feathers have black pigment in them, but they reflect blue light because of a microscopic bubble texture on the surface.
to explain it further, have you ever seen one of those little rainbow hologram things? like how they'll put a holographic Crystal or sparkle pattern on like a Pokemon card?
yeah that motherfucker, if you tried to scrape the top layer of this card off to get the hologram "pigment", you wouldn't get bubkis. in fact if you scrape the top of this card very lightly, the yellow part would still stay yellow because it's yellow because it is PIGMENTED, but the hologram where you scratch it will stop being holographic. now it will still have the pigment underneath it because that is pigmented but the rainbow effect comes from a TEXTURE on the top.
you could even put these kind of holograms on chocolate, are you following? it's a texture!
it's the same reason that bubbles are rainbow colored despite being too thin to see pigment in them.
IT'S A TEXTUREEEEEEE!!!
blue pigment will always be blue, you can crush up a Rose and use the Rose goop to color something else the color of that Rose! leaves, bones, clay, rocks!! that's pigment! disturbing its structure will not change the color because its a PIGMENT!!!
but a blue macaw? a pigeon's neck? a raven's feathers? and a blue jay apparently? that's a texture.
"yeah that's how color works" NO!! bubbles are clear!!! they just happen to have a broad spectrum iridescent TEXTURE, and some bird feathers have a short spectrum of iridescence.
bird texture
i like what you're going for but color isn't always inherently pigment only. just cause something isn't the pigment blue doesn't mean it isnt the color blue? all pigments are colors but not all colors are pigments?
i mean thank you for the science though.
Oh my god Wisconsin's governor just used a line item veto to secure school funding increases every year through 2425. He struck out a line so it now reads "through the 2023-2425 school year". He's allowed to do this lol
Coastal Dems: now we can't go too far now haha, we can't. We've got to be reasonable, you know, also eight of us might defect to the Republicans if you're mean to us
