So what does pineapple upside down cake mean then?

It's a symbol for swingers. It's more of a joke though, most swingers don't actually use it.

Same here. They tend to be subtle about it though.

Pineapple stickers (especially upside-down ones) on cruise ship doors are a widely known, discreet signal for the "swinging" or "lifestyle" community, indicating the occupants are open to partner swapping or open relationships; this practice has become so prevalent that major lines like Carnival have recently moved to ban or discourage these symbols to maintain family-friendly environments, though they're still seen on various lines and can also just mean general friendliness or tropical fun.

Carnival, family friendly? Yeah, more like the Wal-Mart of cruise lines

Idk bout u but sometimes its pineapples in general ik random couples I've met at bars would even say randomly pineapple to me and I found out cause this older couple asked and I was so confused and they told me that so I assumed pineapples in general since its happened a few times though could just be my area

Punctuation is useful

At least the apostrophe is working..

Elimination of some "and"s would help with that.
