In early modern english, mine was just my but before a word starting with a vowel. So in a sense, you're right, but not the way you meant.
I think thine is like hers, and thy is like her i.e. her hat is hers thy hat is thine

No, but on the website it is possible to give lingots away to someone who has posted a comment.
I bet the Esperanto team argued what color the dress should be in this sentence.
I want to give a lingot but i dont have my new computer yet so I'm on the app.
It's whatever you see it as. Both are correct. There by definition can't be an absolute correct answer since it's subject to how the particular person sees it.
If we are talking just about the picture of the dress, I'd have to say you are right. The picture can go both ways. But the actual real-life dress the picture is of is confirmed to be unmistakably blue and black.
Depends on how you define color and you can indeed find various definitions for it. If you only judge by the light reflected and not the brain's interpretation of what the eye caught, that dress is definitely blue and black (admittedly, you would have to have good definitions for blue and black, but I think the most basic wavelength intervals would suffice).
its black and blue, made and created black and blue, but due you the lighting youre in or tampering done to the photo it may appear as "blanka kaj orkolora". trat the time this went around a third party saw green and grey as a mixture of both visuals.
Does Esperanto have (a) differentiating word(s) for robe vs dress?
If one wanted to say a man was wearing a dress and not have it misinterpreted as a robe because word was inferred by our social norms...etc.

So, from what I understand:
robo -> dress (mostly feminine)
robino (female dress) -> robe (male dress)
I am laughing almost two minutes straight at this...
On a (slightly) more serious note, I would go with banrobo ou duŝrobo, but did not find any reference of both on google.
This is a little too political for my liking. They should accept both blue and black as well as white and gold
Mi vidas gxin blua kaj ❤❤❤❤❤, ne blanka kaj ora. Eble per Photoshop mi povu vidi gxin tiel...
Please don't Duo. I can't go back to that horrible time in internet history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress
lol. I don't even know how I see that dress. how would I even find out tho?
Wanted to see if it worked if you said white and gold and I wasn't disappointed.

Thank you, Esperanto. The dress IS blue and black. (Not white and gold!)
