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
Why is the mirror non-reflective and shaped like a fan? Seems like an odd design choice.
No, it's a framed picture of a fan

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.

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.
I don't think there are other countries with ceiling fans?
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 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.

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