What makes them think they're American? I don't see any guns or medical bills piled up?

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 92 points 2 months ago

The framed picture of a fan.

Why would you have a framed picture of a mirror, that'd just be weird.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago

Americans are weird

[-] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago

Why is the mirror non-reflective and shaped like a fan? Seems like an odd design choice.

[-] Ashiette@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

No, it's a framed picture of a fan

Somehow I can tell it it's a room in a USian or canadian house, not sure why exactly though. Maybe it's the closets, door styles, the carpet, or how they paint their walls. Windows, outlets and door knobs are a dead giveaway.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

It's the unpainted walls because why bother if you can't afford it and your landlord will soft-evict you by doubling rent in a year?

[-] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

It's definitely painted, otherwise you'd see the ~~cardboard~~ drywall, maybe it's the choice of colour.

US: pastel colours, gaudy ceiling furniture, furniture the colour of the walls, tacky metal frames sprayed with gold, needless 6-panelled doors, walk-in closet.

If this was UK: white walls + cheap spotlights that point nowhere, wood-coloured furniture, tacky metal frames but thinner and black, smaller doors with stupid handles, no closet.

If this was Germany: white walls + no ceiling fixtures, cheap but wooden furniture, tacky metal frames but strong for some reason, clearly framed doors, wide light switches for household pets, no closet.

UK here. We use magnolia for every wall, thank you very much

I don't think there are other countries with ceiling fans?

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago

I saw one in Liechtenstein.

[-] nesc@lemmy.cafe 8 points 2 months ago

Fair, so either US or Liechtenstein. 😄

I had one in my first apartment, in Sweden, but I had one of those really high beds you can keep a desk under, so I had to watch my head when climbing down.

And also watch my head when standing up from the desk. But hey, I had both a desk, an armchair and a bed!

I don't know why i remembered i had this somewhere in my dusty folder full of thousands of old memes, but:

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Why do Americans do weird shit like this?

[-] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 months ago

i have this exact picture in the bottom of my old reddit drawer, thats been expanding for 2 years and now merging with my Lemmy drawers....

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Then the question becomes, "Why do you have a mirror hanging over your fireplace?" It's too high for practical use.

[-] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

Mirrors can make rooms feel bigger, even if you can't see yourself in it

Could just be tall. As a 6'5'' guy this mirror would be perfect for me.

A portal to an alternate dimension where I am ugly.

[-] lucidinferno@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Funniest thing I’ve read in a long time

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Oh my god this is the best "straight line" type of joke I've heard in a long time. I just told my six year old they loved it

[-] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months ago

Erm, that looks like a mirror reflecting the ceiling fan, not a framed picture of a ceiling fan.

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 131 points 2 months ago

Somebody get this guy the Detective of the Year award

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 57 points 2 months ago

Perhaps it's reflecting a picture of a ceiling fan.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Thats what I thought too at first, but notice the soft pastel colours separated by the diagonal, as if in a fragrant meadow of flowers, bisected by the hard steel blades of the fan, the artist showing the juxtaposition between country and city life, whilst the fan itself is depicted at an elusive angle, like an anxious child shying away from their duties.

No this is clearly the work of a Master.

[-] janNatan@lemmy.ml 45 points 2 months ago

Are we censoring Pepe now?

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 33 points 2 months ago

That is the pepe.

[-] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 24 points 2 months ago

It's a rare abstract Pepe.

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago

Minimalist Pepe

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

I hope that's bait because he fuckin gottem

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Is it not a mirror?

Granted it would be strange to place a mirror so high

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 13 points 2 months ago

No its framed picture of a celling fan.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Can confirm, am American and we're obligated to hang a picture of a ceiling fan. I don't make the rules.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Mirror is face-ish high, to look at your ugly mug.

I have my mirrors much lower so I can admire my better as(s)pects.
