The first picture is brownies. The second picture is knees that are not brown, presumably because color blind people wouldn't see brown in the world of this joke. It's not really how color blindness works and, IMHO, not that great of a joke ... But you can make it make sense if you try.
Brownies sounds like brown knees. If you couldn't see color (which isn't actually what colorblindness is, but we're pretending for the sake of the pun), you wouldn't see the brown, so you'd just see knees.
ah i thought those were just shadows or artifacts because of the garbage image resolution.I do have red/green colorblindness tho, which messes with brown tones too, so that didn't help too lol. Thanks to all who answered!

Also people who like to think of themselves as "not racist" sometimes say things like "I'm colorblind, I don't see race".

Brown knees
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 264d
Okay but are those knees really brown? They look kinda pink to me.
Googlyman64@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 264d
its because colorblind people can only see the knees, not the brown

Brownies without the brown is ease, not knees.
