This is beyond don't-dead-open-inside, this is full on aneurism posting.

beyond don’t-dead-open-inside

Perfect for !yelldowlgyel@sopuli.xyz, in that case.

I read this as, "who comes, who decides, country, who comes this to."

I think it's supposed to be read as, "Who Comes: who decides who comes to this country." Like, the title is supposed to be "Who Comes" with the subtitle, "who decides who comes to this country" but they've decided to throw out all rules on how English is read and instead of going left-to-right, top-to-bottom (or top-bottom, left-right); they've decided to have the text follow some strange, meandering order that involves going right-to-left, top-to-bottom, then left-to-right, then bottom-to-top.

What the fuck?

Why are you trying to make me play "guess the order" with your political pamphlets?

At least it's super obvious that I can just ignore it because whoever handed those out is probably a bigot.

I looked up the URL in the wayback machine.

It was a graduate program in migration law

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Jesus Christ what a terrible way to advertise your program.

Edit: that's also why I said, "probably" a bigot. I figured there was a chance it was supposed to be legitimately educational but poorly designed; but I also figured that, in the current political climate, there was a significantly higher chance of it being bigoted.

[–] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm almost positive it's meant to get you to stare at it and try to figure it out, versus you blindly throwing it out with the rest of your junk mail.

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

What’s weird is it’s probably from 2010-2011. Only later did they redirect to a different root folder.

So this seems to be an older photo (or old piece of mail)

whoever handed those out is probably a bigot

That explains so much. Their usual mental gymnastics have a similar "order" to them ....

When you are doing voice to text and your owl is trying to get your attention.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

These are the best ones. When you genuinely can't figure out which order the words go in.

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Now that's the first thing you said right.

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I don't even know what I'm talking about.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's the name of the guy on first base?!

When you pay the first baseman at the end of the month, who gets the money?

[–] generic_computers@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Every dollar of it.

OK so, this is a really weird way to read it and doesn't make any sense. But i think i got it. IMO makes the most sense. Start from the bottom kinda.

"Who comes to this country decides who comes."

And the "Who" that is sideways is probably a logo. For whatever they're trying to push or advertise. And not actually apart of the phrase.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

The World Health Organization is behind the movement for immigrants to decide who cums?

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did someone have a stroke? (I hope not, it seems like a terrible thing in some [a lot?] Of cases).

[–] Poik@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Strokes, by definition, involve the death of neurons in the brain. So no, not particularly good. Seizures can be very similar without actual tissue death.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ah, good point. I couldn't remember the exact definition of a stroke. Thanks.

[–] sweetgemberry@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Who decides who comes to this country? This seems to make sense given there appears to be an immigration stamp printed onto the card

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why is "who comes" listed twice then?

[–] sweetgemberry@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think that's just poor design choice

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

the entire piece is a poor design. hard to select a single element.

[–] SlothMama@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Who decides who comes into this country? Who?"

The extra who is for emphasis.

[–] bignate31@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

you're missing the second "comes"

[–] CM400@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Whence comes the third who?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Did they have a stroke while they made this image?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

In case anyone else thinks "what does the website on the card say" like I did:

A. you'll have to put it in the wayback machine, and

B. nothing to answer what the intended reading of the text would be

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It's a pro-masturbation flyer from what I can tell.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

🧐

Does it give any more information on the back?

I have no idea, sorry. I just found that picture in an imgur dump.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Who comes decides who country who this comes to.

Obviously.

[–] nick@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

Who thought this was a good idea? Good Christ

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

The colouring in this picture really reminds me of graphics but the card looks good
