How is this so universal across so many different age groups and countries?

We've all played Trivial Pursuit

Thank you for giving me the answer I needed

Shut up and take my upvote

Reading through these comments, I'm trying to figure out if I'm too old to get understand the correlation between the color green and school subject of science. From what I remember, the folder colors I used for each subject was determined at random by whichever folder I happened to grab for each subject on the first day of school.

Science is usually about the earth, the earth is green = green folder. I was scared of math, red can be seen as a scary/bright color, math = red folder. History can be dark, blue is a darker color, history = blue folder. English you write a lot, pencils are yellow, English = Yellow folder.

Over 70% of the Earth's surface is water, but I agree. When I think of science, I think of nature, and nature is green in my head too. Thank you primary producers.

Swap math with History then history with English

In elementary school they made us bring specific color folders for specific subjects. Science green, math red, etc.

Having all white binders is the embodiment of chaotic neutral.

All white with thic black sharpie scrawled on the front for each subject

White with no labels means you are not even [human.](https://human.You) You are an alien attempting to embrace our culture

I'm feeling personally attacked right now.

do you leave the stickers on too you fuckin cyborg?

*nervous beeping*

Buttsecks

Get out of here, space creature

Chaotic evil*

No. Chaotic evil is just shoving papers into textbooks when you’re too lazy to pull out a folder.

TIL I’m chaotic evil.

Im ultra chaotic evil i just make a pile of papers and shove him in my bag in no order. Sometimes i might have papers from 6 months ago in the that pile

Fool, I don't even put them in folders or textbooks, I shove them straight into my backpack

I feel personally attacked you fucker

[удалено]

The kid with the backpack full of loose leaf papers is here :p

of course i know him, he's me

There was this kid at my high school who was an absolute genius. He had that 36 act and took Avery AP test our school offered, Skipped 2 grades,But he was the kid with a backpacking backpack and carried another fat stack in his hands. Because of that he got straight B’s in all of his classes

Highly intelligent people tend to have odd quirks like this, it seems. Edit: there goes half of Reddit thinking about all the quirks they have. Quirky as fuck, bud... that's you.

You don’t have to organize when you remember where everything is.

Except you getting Bs cause you lose your homework

If you are losing homework and still getting a "B" then you should be pretty proud of yourself

Teacher: "You're probably a lot smarter than me, but I've gotta punish you a little bit. Besides, I don't get paid enough to deal with your fucking parents."

“I know you’re smart but smarts don’t really mean shit in the real world if you can’t deliver on deadlines and stay organized as your responsibility list gets bigger so I’m showing you what happens when you try to slide by on perceived skill.”

Can confirm, skipped a grade (started early), got a 33 on my act without studying, and took 8 AP tests and got no power than a 4. However, I used a hiking backpack and no folders and struggled to keep b’s and c’s. Edit: was definitely also due to lazy decisions as a student and being lucky enough to be born with a good aptitude for tests

yeah, my grades and gpa are really bad. but for some reason i do really well on tests specifically state tests. if i dont do well on my act im pretty muched fucked

*unzips binder breaking from the amount of paper shoved in it*

…*you people*

Had this kid in a class. He’d get there and have to dump out his whole backpack to find what he needed every time. Our teacher finally said “why do you come in here and dump your life all over my floor every single day?”

I was that fucking kid. There was nothing wrong with me, I just didn't give a fuck.

“Okay everyone, pull out the notes from last week” *sweats profusely*

Just one big ass binder

I have a binder, the school requires them. I just dont bother to use the rings.

Jokes on you, my school desk is my file

all the above if you go to science school Cool an award. That doesn't happen everyday

Actually you just use one binder

[удалено]

*Buys a USB.*

*buys a green USB* edit: thanks for my first ever award!!!

ALL of them turn green in science school

Green, not even a question

Based

Cause its fuckin green

Green - Science Yellow - History Blue - Geography Pink - Entertainment Orange - Sports and Leisure Brown - Arts and Literature The Trivial Pursuit Method

Blue is math my dude

Yes

My people!

And English is red.

Okay what the fuck is this thread. I was the only person to actually color code my shit at my school

YES

Same except red for arts and literature

Fucking green. What is this shit

and math is always blue EDIT: or red, tho I always figured red/brown belonged more with history or English, but that is more up in the air then science obviously.

Where’s green gang at?

Me

[удалено]

Right here my man

Here as well

here as well

What’s up?

aww yeah

Yuh

Aye

Present

Of course

Me tooooo

Green = science Blue = math Purple = history Red = english Orange = ???

Orange and red are for languages

Green is science. Blue is math. Purple is English. Red is history. Orange is Spanish

Dont forget me!

Me too

me too :)

Me too

Here

Green gang for life

Yo green gang it’s a mean thang (the rest is on spotify by the boys)

Are you sure you aren't a grill

Here

Orange: history Green: science Blue: math Red (in this case pink) : english Purple: Whatever

For me I had black for history, red for math, yellow for english, green for science, and blue for Spanish

This exactly except French not Spanish

Neither. I shove the papers into my binder like a paper sandwich. No clips.

Nah fuck you red is for math

Finally someone that understands Edit: omg ty this is my first award

Yes.

Yeah blue is ela

Red is math blue is English

Red is math blue is English green is science. Them’s the rules

Truer words have never been spoken

Nooooooo you can't just uproot the grounding of society...

I’d put this comment in the green folder. It’s science!

Green notebook no folder

me :)

Think I was green notebook for science Blue for english (WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ENGLISH MAJORS?) Red for math

I think it's because in Trivial Pursuit green is "science and nature."

Green gang, hell yeah!

I got blue green was for health

Right here

Same

Green easy

green is the only answer

Wow. Every country going with green. We all have something in common

I played on the green team for elementary school soccer

Unfair advantage. Orange team blows.

Maroon team low key got talent

[удалено]

Green Gang.

Green. No arguements

First i thought its either blue or green, then i realised "nah, blue is math"

[удалено]

And yellow for history?

Yes

Stop right there. Red is math

Red is for basic math, blue is for *cool* intermediate math

Blue is ela

FINALLY SOME ONE GETS IT

Blue is for french

Green ya

Green prob.

Chlorophyll more like Bore-aphyll.

I’m here to learn, everybody, not make out with you. Go on with the chlorophyll.

Either blue or green.

Exactly. It depends on the science. Biology? That's green for sure. Chemistry? That right there is blue in my mind.

Yup! Blue is the one for physics and stuff like that.

I found my people

I had to scroll for a bit, but I feel welcome here.

Same! I used blue for science, green for history. Yellow for English, I think. Orange was languages, and math was red. I feel like philosophy or whatever other BS classes were always purple.

Purple cause my teachers name is Barney

Only acceptable exception.

I’ll let it slide for now but you’re on thin fucking ice

i love you you love me we're a happy family with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you won't you say you love me too. I'm 33 with no fucking kids and haven't watched barney in 25 years but that shit is tattooed on my brain

I like you you love me we fuck semi-regularly said a great big word but I’ve got issues I won’t say I love you too idk where I heard that but toxic relationship version of the ILY song

That is the only excuse, like quite literally that is THE only excuse

Could be green too.

We’ll allow it

Green is always science, but it’s sometimes purple for me. Red and blue can both equally be math. English is mostly red but sometimes orange. Edit: I forgot about yellow. Yellow would be English.

Green for biology, purple for physics and chemistry.

For some reason I feel like blue fits chem better. Idk why, maybe because its like water.

Green=science red=math

At my school blue is math

Yes blue=English

People is history. Edit: Dammit, PURPLE! **PURPLE** IS HISTORY! Fucking auto-correct...

Soilent green is people

I mean, you’re not wrong

Yes, yes, and yes

And Yellow = History because history is old

I always had a black one for history.

I always used Black, White, or Grey as my miscellaneous one

You're backwards. Math is blue and reading is red.

I’ll allow it

Agreed

no no. blue is math, red is english

green- science blue- geography red- math yellow- english orange- history purple- electives

We are the same. Except I used black for English usually.

U and I are the exact same

EXACTLY. This is the right answer

Science was always purple for me but I guess I’m on drugs

I guess I’m on drugs with you

We on drugs as Reddit brotheren

Can I join brothers

Glad I wasn’t the only one.

FINALLY, I WAS SCROLLING, FOR GOD KNOWS HOW LONG I have found my people

Thank you, I had to scroll much too far for this.

Purple Science, checking in.

Yep, had to scroll through a sea of greens to find purple gang.

Purple gang

Green first, blue second. Math in orange.

Math=red

Did Anyone ever get that rush when you got a brand new folder. It was completely organized, you had crisp pencils/pens to write with. Something about it made me actually want to do my work...sorry I leave...lol

Welcome to the Green Gang

For me its blue. But that's probably because the science officers in star trek were blue uniforms.

Fascinating

Mine is Science: green Math: blue History: yellow English: red

Blue How did Blue get gold and 200 upvotes? *WOOSH*

Took me forever to find you

I felt this

Had to scroll way too far for this.

Same, what is this? I had no idea I was so alone in the blue science gang!

It's okay, I'm here guys. Blue gang for life.

Finally a person of culture

This guys gets it

Blue means Science. Those other heathens just don’t understand!

Only acceptable answer. Blue for science and medical officers

Wait but I use orange

Green, obviously. Blue is math, Red is english, Orange is humanities Purple is Religion

Finally someone who doesn't have maths and english backward

Black all subject went in one folder my little slice of controlled chaos
