Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, 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.

The post that started it all:

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

To eat ramen after what? I need to know what’s happiness

It's the ramen way of life, you do something and eat ramen after - that's happiness

Exactly! After you get really hungry, you eat ramen, and that's happiness.

After feeling hungry? Not while hungry?
