      For a “don’t dead, open inside”, 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.

      For a “no safety, smoking first”, the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

        The problem is that the ship picture would be perfectly acceptable on dontdeadopeninside tho

          Would it? A true “dontdeadopeninside” reads correctly top to bottom, and incorrectly left to right. The other way around is a “nosafetysmokingfirst”. They are very different formats :)

            No, they aren’t. The rule on the community is not that specific:

            Images of text-designs, that are barely readable due to the placement of the words or letters

            Also, the stats on that community:

            • 926 subscribers
            • 7 posts in the last 3 months

            Remind me again why we’re creating a competing community to suck the life out of one that barely gets any posts?
