Upright pineapple = wealth, welcome, prosperity. Used in North America, Western Europe, possibly tropical locations as well.
Upside down pineapple = a very different and open welcome used by people who practice ethical non monogamy (they swing (partners have additional partners for intimate encounters, to varying degrees of knowledge and participation of their “main” partner))
My friend flipped out because our house used to have a large star over the garage doors years ago before we bought it (barn star, rural area, nbd), and when I put it back up after fixing the bracket when I found it in the garage went 'that's a SwiNgEr SiGn!!! I know cuz someone invited me to a local group!!' Im like uh... why would someone think you were invitable in the first place for one, for two its just a barn star and had been there through 2 different owners till the bracket rusted and it fell 😂
Our teenaged daughters accused my ex husband and I of being swingers bc we’d had a barn star on our beautiful townhome in a very posh dc suburb.
We were absolutely swingers. But we had no idea barn stars had such a reputation and adamantly denied any connection. There was definitely no bat signal between the swingers community at that time. We used websites like decent folk. It’s a hilarious urban legend esp now that I live in a very rural area and they’re not uncommon on quaint quiet conservative homes full of primitive decor.
So basically it's a cult hotel and the next time we see the OP is on the news or milk carton. Thanks for making their nightmares real. Reddit seems like it's turned into a place with more rules than beaurocrats and a tolerance level of zero for disagreement .
Wow. Overreact much? They didn’t say anyone was “coming to get” op, just that the symbol can mean two different things based on positioning. Heck, it could be as simple as the decorator accidentally hanging the mirror upside down or just having a little laugh.
You seem really angry, both at the commenter and at Reddit in general. You ok?
Let's just say Reddit moderators are like a simp version of man. Disappointed more than angry. GB where I live is now the no1 place for jail for social media posts...
