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

      The framed picture of a fan.

        It’s a mirror

      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, or how they paint their walls or the carpet. Windows, outlets and door knobs are a dead giveaway.

        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?

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

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

        If this Germany: white walls + no ceiling fixtures, tacky metal frames but strong for some reason, clearly framed doors, wide light switches for fat people, no closet.

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

        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!

      The ceiling fan makes it likely. They’re far more common here.

      • mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Are they? You’d think it’d be having an air conditioner

      There was r/scienceofdeduction@reddit.com that basically tries to find as much information about the person just from a photo. I once found an exact window location to the room where the picture was taken. You would be suprised how much information can be extracted from one picture.

      Why do Americans do weird shit like this?

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

        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.

    • Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

  • superduperpirate@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

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

      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.

    Is it not a mirror?

      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 ⁨3⁩ ⁨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.

    • Akasazh@feddit.nl ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

      source
      • GoodStuffEh@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      Found the non American.

      If you were American, you would know its the traditional American custom to put up frammed fan photos.
