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.

Both are made up of four nucleotide bases to encode information. DNA has adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). RNA is mostly the same but has uracil (U) instead of thymine.

Consistently upside-down serif 𝐍s. Ewww...

This is very common. These two buildings have 𝗡 and 𝗭 swapped (and an upside-down 𝗦):

Other sins include horizontally or vertically flipped serif 𝐀𝐁𝐔𝐕𝐖 if that can happen. Every alphabet manufacturer should put a small "TOP - Remove after installation" sticker at the front top of each letter, or at least indicate the direction on the packaging.
