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.

He didn't have to choose that one. I always see this comic the same way as the stick-in-the-bike-wheel meme.

"hvad" is literally just danish for "what", and "alena" is a sorta outdated swedish word for "alone"

what? alone? pp tiny, yes?

"Alena" can also be a name.
