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
Why would you have a framed picture of a mirror, that'd just be weird.
No, it's a framed picture of a fan
Right, but why do they have a framed picture of a fan on the opposite wall from the 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, the carpet, or how they paint their walls. 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?
It's definitely painted, otherwise you'd see the ~~cardboard~~ drywall, maybe it's the choice of colour.
It looks original from the builders.
I don't think there are other countries with ceiling fans?
I saw one in Liechtenstein.
Fair, so either US or Liechtenstein. 😄
Saw them in Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Iran. Prob any really hot country has them.
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'm in Aus and we have ceiling fans
Get a load of this guy pretending Australia is real
No you fuckin don't mate.
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).
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!
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.
I don't know why i remembered i had this somewhere in my dusty folder full of thousands of old memes, but:
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....
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.
Wut is "mirror?"
A portal to an alternate dimension where I am ugly.
Funniest thing I’ve read in a long time
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
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.
I hope that's bait because he fuckin gottem
That's a good cat
Lol, it's obviously not a picture of a fucking fan, those have dildo blades.
What Mr. Blades and I do in the privacy of our home is none if your business!
