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
