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
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?
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.
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....
That is a weird place for a mirror, to be fair.
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.
Americans are weird
No, it's a framed picture of a fan
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?
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. 
White with a hint of slumlord
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.

I hope that's bait because he fuckin gottem
Are we censoring Pepe now?
It's a rare abstract Pepe.
Minimalist Pepe
That is the pepe.
That's a good cat
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.
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.
