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
Funniest thing I’ve read in a long time
That's a good cat
I don't know why i remembered i had this somewhere in my dusty folder full of thousands of old memes, but:
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.
That is a weird place for a mirror, to be fair.
Why do Americans do weird shit like this?
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....
I hope that's bait because he fuckin gottem
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
No, it's a framed picture of a fan
Why would you have a framed picture of a mirror, that'd just be weird.
Americans are weird
Why is the mirror non-reflective and shaped like a fan? Seems like an odd design choice.
Right, but why do they have a framed picture of a fan on the opposite wall from the mirror?
The ceiling fan makes it likely. They're far more common here.
Are they? You'd think it'd be having an air conditioner
Often it's both!
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.
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
...what the hell is magnolia
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.

Are we censoring Pepe now?
It's a rare abstract Pepe.
Minimalist Pepe
That is the pepe.
Erm, that looks like a mirror reflecting the ceiling fan, not a framed picture of a ceiling fan.
Somebody get this guy the Detective of the Year award
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?
Granted it would be strange to place a mirror so high
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.
Found the non American.
If you were American, you would know its the traditional American custom to put up frammed fan photos.
If only that were true, what I'd give to not be in this god forsaken country
