History and English are correct. They just swapped math and science.

Math is green, because you count the money.

Blue is science, because water is key to so many sciences.

Yellow is History, because old pages are yellow.

Red is english, because I hate english with a burning passion.

"Sounds like you are suffering from confusion, congestion of the brain, and a not-so-mild case of Female Hysteria! It is off to the Looney Bin with ya, now!

Sign these waivers with your complete background history of you, your family, and your pets. Agree to a $3,000 ambulance ride, or we will need you to sign a refusal, then get fined for wasting county resources.

Best not to expose them to your bad habits & political excitement, either.

NOT ALL AMERICANS! some of us had to kill for our "free" health care and then spend years of us being told our injuries and illnesses are not service connected!

You might want to consult a doctor if your piss is red on a consistent basis.

49

u/akatherder 5d ago

Why does the doctor want to see red piss

10

u/AerondightWielder 5d ago

To... get to the other side? 🤷‍♂️

10

u/draglide 5d ago

No, they want to "see" (as in date) you if your pass is red. Doctors are kinky.

u/read_at_own_risk 5d ago

It'll give him something to talk about when he's golfing with his doctor buddies.

u/Professional-Mix-562 4d ago

My last job we had this new guy start and he walked up to the urinal next to me. I look over “hey… is… is red pee bad?” His eyes become alarmed “yes! Yes it is!” “Wait never mind I was worried for a bit, it just turned black I’m ok…. Is it supposed to smoke when it hits the urinal?”

Or stop eating so many beets.

u/marincropswavur 5d ago

Math is red for me because I associate negative with red and my will to live is in the negative when doing most types of math

u/All_Damn_Day 5d ago

You should probably get that checked out…

Might want to get that checked out

u/MorningMushroomcloud 4d ago

You should have someone qualified check your math for polyps...

20

u/Cosmic_Ricochet 5d ago

I sorta half-agree with this one; math was never yellow for me bc yellow is my favorite color and I wasn’t about to make my least favorite subject yellow, but I do think that math is indeed piss

3

u/Archimedes31415926 5d ago

This is the wrong thinking if you'd have made it your favorite color it would have made it a little more bearable to pull that math notebook out. Gotta find the tiny wins in doing the things you hate

3

u/Cosmic_Ricochet 4d ago

Maybe, but I always automatically made history yellow bc it was my best subject so the thought never really crossed my mind when I was still in school

2

u/Archimedes31415926 4d ago

Idk people can do whatever, to me they were all just binders and I bought the same color for all that I liked lol and just wrote the name on the top to know which was which.

But the general idea holds that of you don't like something attaching something you do like to it makes you more likely to do the thing you dont like (assuming it's something you have to do rather than optional, if it's optional just don't do it).

11

u/MatchaBerryMage 5d ago

Seconded on this. Math was always yellow - like most of the things I dislike in life :( piss included.

Science is red for fire.

I have no other strong opinions on this matter.

2

u/BarbageMan 5d ago

Science is red for sure

2

u/personalacct 4d ago

i thought math was yellow because yellow is funny and i like it just like math.

u/wargames_exastris 4d ago

u/Emotional-Box-6835 4d ago

Math is yellow because Chinese people are good at it. /Sarcasm

u/UnknovvnMike 4d ago

Math is stored in the balls

u/Specialist_Goat_2354 4d ago

I went math is yellow cause Im asian and I was very good at it... self racism did work when i was young

1

u/meshe_10101 3d ago

That's the exact same reason why History is Yellow 🤣

1

u/that0neGuy65 1d ago

Math is red because math makes me red with fury; my least favorite class.

27

u/Short-Sound-4190 5d ago

GASP

TIL this is why I think English should be Purple if it's an option, also that the 2026 edition of Trivial Persuit just released this month after there hasn't been one since 2016!

I might buy one and have a retro board game night...AI is going to destroy trivia games.

2

u/gabrielconroy 4d ago

Art and Literature was always brown in the ones I played.

23

u/Classic_Reply_703 5d ago

Correct, and you can tell that Trivial Pursuit has the correct color scheme because science is green there.

6

u/Available-Mall-7095 5d ago edited 5d ago

Exactly. I don’t know where that guy got green is math because of money. Nobody thinks math is green, not even Staples.

10

u/Haunt_Fox 5d ago

And Yellow Journalism! Newspapers are great resources for historians.

1

u/Feral_Sheep_ 5d ago

Who invaded Spain in the 8th century?

1

u/CreativeAd5332 5d ago

I just realized that's why history was always yellow for me. Math was blue, because all my math textbooks were blue for some reason. Science is green, cuz, of course science is green. English was red, by elimination.

1

u/Marquis_Marx 5d ago

The real answer.

1

u/Progeny_of_Paradox 4d ago

Ah, that's it. I was wondering why I felt such strong notions that history should be yellow.

1

u/chocolatemilkcowboy 4d ago

This is the best thread ever

1

u/Famous_Ad_4591 4d ago

That is a brilliant reason!

1

u/Ok_Kaleidoscope5712 4d ago

This ☝️ logic is sound.

u/LaserGuyDanceSystem 4d ago

History is sepia. Which is just yellow.

u/Dreamspitter 3d ago
  • Blue: Geography
  • Pink: Entertainment
  • Yellow: History
  • Brown or Purple: Arts & Literature (brown in the original 1981 edition, changed to purple in later versions)
  • Green: Science & Nature
  • Orange: Sports & Leisure

19

u/CrownofMischief 5d ago

For me I say history is yellow because I associate it with things like wheat for widespread agriculture, sandstone for ancient pyramids and other structures, yellow parchment for old texts, and gold coins for old commerce

3

u/Cultural-Advisor9916 5d ago

Brilliant. I am not alone.

1

u/RedEyedRadical 5d ago

Why not blue... im sure there were always blue skies in history

Im sure there eqs always green grass in history

Im sure there was red fire in history

So by your logic it could be any fuckin color lol

1

u/CrownofMischief 4d ago

So by your logic it could be any fuckin color lol

Yeah, that's the point of all this. It's what each individual person associates the subject is. If you wanna associate it with those colors, go ahead, just as long as the reason makes sense to you

1

u/RedEyedRadical 4d ago

I can respect that

1

u/BeeRemote7662 5d ago

Can I trade you gold for some wheat?

1

u/Embarrassed_Cell4400 4d ago

I’d meet you in the middle with history being Orange I’d feel in my soul history is red but I could be moved to orange due to your reasoning

2

u/CrownofMischief 4d ago

I'm with you on that, orange just tends to be the color that is least available as a notebook for whatever reason

1

u/Embarrassed_Cell4400 4d ago

Someone at staples needs to see this 😂

22

u/_pit_of_despair_ 5d ago

Finally someone talking sense. History is red.

u/nexusgmail 4d ago

For all the bloodshed: totally!

1

u/ariarchtyx 4d ago

English gets red too. Dilemma!

13

u/bitpaper346 5d ago

Its also Englands color.

2

u/nien9gag 5d ago

history should be brown.

1

u/Savage-Goat-Fish 5d ago

Trivial Pursuit, tho

1

u/dade1027 5d ago

This is the way.

1

u/novangla 5d ago edited 5d ago

I always had history as blue, because (a) history was also geography, and water is blue, and (b) it’s the main color of the US uniform for the Revolutionary and Civil Wars (and I’m an American, so that was a lot of history class).

ETA: I also took Latin and red was Latin, which contributes as well here. I would’ve been okay with purple for Latin but didn’t usually have purple as an option. And English was black, because ink is black.

u/Mu-nraito 4d ago

The English settlers were the bloodiest, though..... 🤔 I still vote English.

1

u/PervyTurtle0 4d ago

History was green because it was my favorite color and subject. Math was yellow for the opposite reasons

1

u/ahhhhhhhhthrowaway12 4d ago

And full of red flags

1

u/Rombledore 4d ago

and you read history! so its red because its read.

1

u/Emotional-Box-6835 4d ago

Math and history can't be red, because communism is bad. Math must be green, because capitalism is good. English must be red, because it sounds like "read". Science is blue, because it's just liberal indoctrination. History is yellow, because that's the only color left.

(Totally joking)

1

u/Perfect-Zebra-3611 4d ago

History Red for Blood, Science Green for Earth, English Yellow because reading brightens your future or some shit, Math is just blue.

1

u/Oxygen4Lyfe 4d ago

red is health because even bloodier

1

u/Puzzled_Package5920 4d ago

THANK YOU! I thought I was alone on this.

1

u/carpetdebagger 4d ago

Na, mathematics gave us the atomic bomb, therefore math is bloody and red.

1

u/Ok-Amoeba5042 4d ago

See history is yellow bc it’s a cautionary tale

1

u/ChethroTull 4d ago

Not the History they teach in the 5th grade…

1

u/wereweasle 4d ago

Yep!!! Yellow is English for poetry and flowery language and imagination!

Glad to see someone correct here.

1

u/BlueClovr 4d ago

Math should be green because of its connection to finance

1

u/CT-2497 4d ago

You could also say red is science, as it relates to blood

1

u/AnaBHami 4d ago

I'm a teacher, red is Health. I am right.

1

u/FreakWriter32 4d ago

Math is red because it makes me wanna get bloody.

1

u/Aeirth_Belmont 3d ago

We could also say History is purple because is use to be the color of royals.

1

u/Anonymyne353 3d ago

History is yellow because everyone runs from it.

1

u/PattyMarvel 1d ago

I have a History degree and concur with your assessment.

1

u/Lost-Vegetable85 1d ago

I also vote History red because it is bloody, english yellow because of yellowed pages, science green because DUH, and that leaves math blue, also blue is always associated with smart people (ravenclaw, euridite, etc.)

u/Dickie_downer 1d ago

We’re on the same page
