Why do Americans do weird shit like this?

Are we censoring Pepe now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 33 minutes ago

It's a rare abstract Pepe.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 hours ago

That is the pepe.

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

The framed picture of a fan.

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

[–] [email protected] 84 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 51 minutes ago

Americans are weird

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 44 minutes ago* (last edited 41 minutes 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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour 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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

We have them in Japan, but they're mostly at businesses. That's slowly changing for homeowners, but not as much for renters (due to rules about modifying things).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I'm in Aus and we have ceiling fans

Get a load of this guy pretending Australia is real

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

No you fuckin don't mate.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I saw one in Liechtenstein.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

Fair, so either US or Liechtenstein. 😄

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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!

Is it not a mirror?

Granted it would be strange to place a mirror so high

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

No its framed picture of a celling fan.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You'd see the left wall in the reflection, if you wanted to show the opposite corner, like in that picture, the mirror needs to be arcoss facing the camera directly.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It's an angled wall segment, look at where it meets the floor

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

Oh wow. That fisheye really does a number on the perspective.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 35 minutes 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.

Somebody get this guy the Detective of the Year award

[–] [email protected] 47 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Lol, it's obviously not a picture of a fucking fan, those have dildo blades.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

What Mr. Blades and I do in the privacy of our home is none if your business!
