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

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

[–] Ashiette@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

No, it's a framed picture of a fan

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

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?

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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?

Fair, so either US or Liechtenstein. 😄

[–] heartbreaker@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

No you fuckin don't mate.

[–] Thatuserguy@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Get a load of this guy pretending Australia is real

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 points 6 months 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).

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.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Often it's both!
