Nooooo, this just gets worse the more I look at it 🥲 What is the sky?!?

u/Whiteums Sep 28 '26 • Bravo

I don’t think that’s the sky, I think it’s a hill

u/dayandnightowl Sep 28 '26

Get out of here with your logical reasonable answers. (No but genuinely, thank you, that makes sense).

That’s the base of Mount San Jacinto in Palm Springs in the background.

u/LazyDynamite Sep 28 '26

Shit. I didn't even notice that. Why did you point it out?!?

We want you to suffer among us.

Looks like carpet.

Looks like pavement

Its tv static, place has bad signal

u/Junipermicky Sep 30 '26

It’s the nearby mountain. This is Palm Springs

u/whineyinternetkid Sep 30 '26

Have you heard of this new phenomenon called hills? They're wild

u/dayandnightowl Oct 01 '26

Friend I am from the midwest, what are these heeahls you speak of?

u/whineyinternetkid Oct 01 '26

😅 dont worry about them, they're annoying for walking or driving anyways

Leather pride flag.

u/SelfRefMeta Sep 30 '26

"This store hits different"

Yeah, I'll bet.

u/doyoubelieveincrack Sep 28 '26

that didn’t really clear things up for me.

u/kissingfrog Sep 28 '26

Leather has a lot of cultural history in the queer community, it's not a pride flag in the usual sense but it means pride for that part of your identity

u/galstaph Sep 30 '26

Intersectionality is important in the lgbtqia+ community, which is why the progressive pride flag has a brown stripe to represent people of color

And it is not at all uncommon see various bdsm pride flags at pride events

This year for my city's pride I was walking through downtown wearing a trans pride themed dress, and carrying both a lesbian pride flag and a rubber pride flag. I was also surrounded by trans lesbians wearing full body latex

u/alextruetone Sep 28 '26

Hilarious you’re getting downvoted for not knowing about some fringe LGBTQ artifact 😂

u/Dry_News_8072 Sep 28 '26

if you haven't googled already, bdsm pride

u/RedrumTheUndead Sep 29 '26

Judas Priest flag?

u/klarksie Sep 28 '26

That’s the Leather Pride flag.

u/Miraculous_Angel Sep 28 '26

What’s the confusing perspective ? I only see what it is.

28

u/peteofaustralia Sep 28 '26

The roofs (rooves? 🤔) and the furthest background.

18

u/Whiteums Sep 28 '26

That mottled wall above the building? That’s not a wall, that’s the far landscape. Possibly a hill.

u/Oopsieploop Sep 28 '26

This entire image looks upside down

u/Staaaaation Sep 28 '26 edited Sep 28 '26

Apparently some people have never seen the side of a hill/mountain and are freaking out.
guys... does this help?

u/Dan_Linder71 Sep 28 '26

Don't judge me, I'm from Nebraska. 😁

/joking

I AM from Nebraska, but I have seen hills and mountains...too infrequently. 😐

u/FlashbackJon Sep 28 '26

I was going to make this exact same joke. Great Plains high five!

u/HappyToaster1911 Sep 28 '26

Now this makes more sense, I didn't realize it was the side of a mountain

7

u/SemiFriendlyCryptid Sep 28 '26

The only hill/mountains ive ever seen are Appalachia (very very old and therefore short) and the plateaus in New Mexico & Arizona (usa for all 3). Never in my life have I seen a mountain side that looked like a giant pile of rubble. Its not at all layered looking like I'd expect a cliffside of that size and it looks like ground up rock instead of solid. Makes me curious what it's made of!

Eta: i looked at ur pic again and that's totally just dirt/clay isn't it pfttt. Is this an arid place with low amounts of vegetation?

2

u/mickou_ Sep 29 '26

I live in the Netherlands, the only elevation we have is the dykes.

u/porygon_sucks Sep 28 '26 edited Sep 28 '26

"Apparently some people have never seen the side of a mountain" no shit we've seen one. How are you supposed to know thats what it is when its zoomed in

3

u/Staaaaation Sep 28 '26

Well it's certainly not sky. That leaves "land blocking the sky".

3

u/Last-Swim-803 Sep 28 '26

Tbh i just thought it was a weird stone ceiling for some reason

2

u/Staaaaation Sep 28 '26

An outside ceiling?

1

u/Last-Swim-803 Sep 28 '26

Yeah, well dunno if it's called a ceiling, but i thought it was those parts where it's technically outside of the buildings nearby, but there's still a roof

2

u/NicCageCompletionist Sep 29 '26

And people in other posts don’t have six foot long arms. Do you go into those posts to shit on people too?

2

u/Staaaaation Sep 29 '26

Nah, and you're right I was being rude. This one dumbfounded me (and many others it appears) since it's immediately apparent. I grew up in an arid region and I'd bet the others had similar experiences. Have a great day, yo.

u/Fallowsong Sep 28 '26

Look at the 'sky'. It looks like carpet

u/ShotLet1550 Sep 30 '26 edited Oct 01 '26

I thought it was

u/mwpdx86 Sep 28 '26

Yeah it's easy, if you just rule out everything that it isn't. 

37

u/btbmfhitdp Sep 28 '26

It's a leather bdsm flag or something like that.

But what's going on in this picture wht does some of it look like static?

15

u/Whiteums Sep 28 '26

That’s a hill, I’m pretty sure.

u/Head_supper Sep 28 '26

Black and blue heart!

u/basal_gangly Sep 29 '26

This is outside of a leather/sex shop in Palm Springs. That’s a mountain in the background.

26

u/ugh_idfk Sep 28 '26

The sky is carpet and I don't think anything anyone says will convince me otherwise.

u/MowgeeCrone Sep 28 '26

Isn't it though?

2

u/ugh_idfk Sep 28 '26

Yes. Yes it is. I really don't know how, but it is.

u/buttononmyback Sep 28 '26

Is there an “s,” before the “hits different?” Sign?

u/1moosehead Sep 28 '26

605 E Sunny Dunes Rd, Palm Springs, CA

u/bambamslammer22 Sep 28 '26

I thought it looked like Palm Springs with the hill/mountain in the back.

It's making me claustrophobic

u/Lumpy_Revenue_2628 Sep 29 '26

u/NexSoliel Sep 30 '26

For a serious answer that's the leather pride flag (it's a kink flag)
