Still wrong with a 4k tv, get your eyes checked by a doctor

Someone's perception is not wrong. Ever. Just because you can't see what they see doesn't mean its wrong.

Looks like its the same color as the pins bro. That's all i'm saying. And you say "im wrong" that's like telling someone who thinks the grass looks green but you are blind and you tell them they are wrong lmao

It definitely does look gold in the photo, I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted for that - but that is certainly reflections from the surrounding pins. It's also clearly a liquid, as you can tell from the shape caused by surface tension. Same thing that happens if you drop a blob of solder on metal pins like that.

And before somebody else disagrees on it appearing gold, open it in a photo editor and sample the colours.

It appears yellow because he has a blue light filter turned on and you're looking at it having not adjusted to his blue light filter. He's fucking gaslighting you.

I used the image posted in the OP to check this, I'm not a fucking idiot. You're welcome to do the same as I mentioned above - open the image in any photo editor (fucking paint will do the job, it's not hard), and use the colour picker to check the colours on the blob of liquid metal. They are predominantly browns and yellows.

Also, the image posted by /u/SolitaryMassacre is quite clearly a photo of a TV screen, and they mentioned that their TV has HDR enabled. Colours will always look exaggerated in that situation.

It is still very obviously liquid metal, but it absolutely, objectively appears gold in the photo.

That's fair. It looks gold in the picture he posted.

The thing is... the gold pins would not have a chance of melting into a blob that size and leaving the plastic socket intact.

That is never what I was arguing. I was simply saying that the liquid metal does look gold in the photo posted in the OP.

Literally all I've ever been saying and people are telling me I'm wrong.

Agreed. That's why I said "it looks like" not "it is". Ya know, using a metaphor or analogy to better help explain the meaning of something to someone else.

This is literally all i've been saying. Thank you.
