This is the lowest-effort attempt at faking a sign I’ve seen in a while.

Didn't even bother to line the second line up with the row it's supposed to be on. We demand higher quality memes

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

someone gave up

[–] StalksEveryone@futurology.today 3 points 11 months ago

They gave up.

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 39 points 11 months ago

because it's a fake sign designed to be read wrong.

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because most people traditionally read: left to right then top to bottom

Sure if you rule out like half the world that doesn't use the anglo alphabet

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because there is a reddit sub called "r/youdontmattergiveup" which is just posts that you read wrong

And this is not the origin

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

or "/r/dontdeadopeninside

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Both exist. One is for posts that's are meant to be read horizontally and one is for posts meant to be read vertically.

There's also a 3rd one for posts that don't make sense if read in the wrong direction, but I forgor 💀

Which way is the right way... ? Asking for a friend...

[–] Kushia@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

You give up, don't matter.

[–] thySatannic@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago

Yes I know that and I’ve already given up. This sign is even more useless than me…
