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 22 points 4 days ago

Why do Americans do weird shit like this?

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days 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 8 points 3 days 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.

[-] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 days 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....

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

That is a weird place for a mirror, to be fair.

A portal to an alternate dimension where I am ugly.

[-] lucidinferno@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Funniest thing I’ve read in a long time

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days 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

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 111 points 4 days ago

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

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 89 points 4 days ago

The framed picture of a fan.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 days ago
[-] LolaCat@lemmy.ca 125 points 4 days ago

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

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Americans are weird

[-] Ashiette@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

No, it's a framed picture of a fan

[-] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 16 points 4 days ago

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

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

Right, but why do they have a framed picture of a fan on the opposite wall from the mirror?

[-] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 15 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 8 points 4 days ago

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

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago

...what the hell is magnolia

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 days ago

It's a particular shade of paint. It's widespread enough in the UK that multiple brands do their own version of Magnolia. It's often what's used when people don't want to have to decide what colour to paint, or in council housing, and it's increasingly common in private rentals.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 5 points 3 days ago

White with a hint of slumlord

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days 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 5 points 4 days ago

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

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

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 4 days ago

I saw one in Liechtenstein.

[-] nesc@lemmy.cafe 8 points 4 days 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!

Are we censoring Pepe now?

[-] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 23 points 4 days ago

It's a rare abstract Pepe.

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 7 points 3 days ago

Minimalist Pepe

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 32 points 4 days ago

That is the pepe.

[-] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 45 points 4 days ago

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

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 130 points 4 days ago

Somebody get this guy the Detective of the Year award

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 57 points 4 days ago

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

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days 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.

[-] sheepishly@fedia.io 10 points 3 days ago

That's a good cat

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Is it not a mirror?

Granted it would be strange to place a mirror so high

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 13 points 4 days ago

No its framed picture of a celling fan.

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 4 days 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.
