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:

I like how it seems like the "No" was added afterwards

I think "no more" was added afterwards. If you take them out, the rest of the text is centered.

All that garbage on the porch says otherwise.

why is it blue at the bottom?

I think it the photo might have been taken from a partially open window of a vehicle, and the blue-green tint at the bottom is from the glass.

Looks like they switched over to crack instead
