    What makes them think they’re American? I don’t see any guns or medical bills piled up?

      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?

      There was r/[email protected] that basically tries to find as much information about the person just from a photo. I once found an exact window location to the room where the picture was taken. You would be suprised how much information can be extracted from one picture.
