Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

The post that started it all:

You're welcome! Glad people enjoy it.

You are a hero of the internet

I think that's a bit much :)

I'm just a normal person who spends their free time in questionable ways. I think the real heroes are the instance admins and the software devs.

Nope. Hard disagree. Hero, and I won't accept otherwise. Normal, maybe, but also hero. Thank you.
