The Spectrum Of Self-Deception
The joke here is that both color spectrums shown are identical, yet the meme suggests animals with better color vision would see more. Humans can detect roughly 1 million colors within our visible spectrum (400-700nm wavelengths), while mantis shrimp can see 16 color receptors versus our measly 3. They're literally perceiving reality in ways we can't comprehend. Yet here we are, thinking we're showing their expanded vision using... the exact same rainbow we can already see. Classic human hubris. Like trying to explain 4D with a cube drawing.
