Washer & Dryer – $50
Washer and dryer for sale. Both work great! We are moving into a place that already has a washer & dryer. Washer is toploading, Dryer is frontloading.
$50 for both, or $35 each.
Call Alyssa at xxx xxx xxxx if interested.
Look carefully at the pictures. (Click on them to make them bigger.) Both the washer and dryer apparently live in mirror world. In mirror world, on is off, up is down, and clearly left is right! In mirror world, you put your clothes into the washer to get them dirty, and into the dryer to get them wet! In mirror world, clothes wash you!
Oh wait, that’s in Russia. Never mind.
I wonder if these were taken with an iSight on a Mac or something similar? The iSight shows and takes pictures in mirror image, because it’s designed for chatting, and it would feel strange if your own image didn’t move mirror-like.
After you take a picture, you can flip it, but I guess these people didn’t know that or were using other software that didn’t allow it.
It would also explain the lighting. The iSight creates a “flash” by turning the entire screen white, which works fine if you’re sitting in a normally-lit room directly in front of it, but maybe might not work so well if you have dragged the computer down to your less-well-lit basement.
A very plausible explanation, but still YSaC-worthy. How do you not notice that the pictures, especially the first one, are all backwards? (And why do you take a picture of the inside of the washer lid anyway?)
also (some?) cell phone pics come out mirrored
I love you, post! I love your undiscovered snark, and the fact that out of only three comments, one was from the revered, and bee-bedecked, Llama-nun! I love that the chances of this post getting the recognition it deserves are slim, even malnourished, but everything is backwards in mirror world!
Maybe I don’t love this post.
Maybe you should just be friends with the post first.

I will show it some love. I will hug it and squeeze it and pet it and pat it and…is it okay if I call it George?
This washer and dryer set has been modified by our mechanical genius, Moriarity. These machines are faster than anything in the appliance world, especially backwards. You see, we like to get our clothes clean quicker than we got them dirty.
I keep telling it NO, but it keeps running!
I am ashamed to say I just got this, almost 24 hours after it was posted. I’ll go sit in the middle of the room.
“That’s the effect of living backwards,” the [White] Queen said kindly: “it always makes one a little giddy at first–”
L is for Looking at this post once again.
O is for Oh My Goodness! This post is a reflection of it’s former self.
V is for Very. This post is very.
E is for Everybody should love a reflective post.
DO NOT SHOW THIS POST LOVE. I loved this post once, and it turned out to be a complete douche. First, when it called me, it reversed the charges. Then it took money and flowers from me. Then it kept telling me how little it liked me, and finally it tried to put my clothes on.
