| Reminds me of [https://www.ikea.com/se/sv/p/markerad-matta-kort-lugg-vit-svart-00434753/ this rug] (sold by IKEA), which looks like a giant receipt of the very same rug.

− | : Above ikea rug link shows generic models only. I assume it's no longer available. Better provide generic image search, as it actually returns the relevant item:

| The tattoo subtext makes me think it's referring to the 2001 film 'Memento', a film noir in which the main character tries to solve a mystery while suffering from amnesia so he carries a bundle of clippings from motel-room to motel-room and has the most important clues tattooed onto his body. | | The tattoo subtext makes me think it's referring to the 2001 film 'Memento', a film noir in which the main character tries to solve a mystery while suffering from amnesia so he carries a bundle of clippings from motel-room to motel-room and has the most important clues tattooed onto his body. |

− | A quick search provided a real world example of the title text [https://www.eonline.com/news/528117/teen-tattoos-mcdonald-s-receipt-on-his-arm-a-week-later-tattoos-the-tattoo-receipt-on-his-other-arm "A tatoo if a tatoo parlour receipt"].

− | :Note that none of the Norwegian guy's tattoos are actually self-referential. The first tattoo is the receipt for McDonalds, the second tattoo is the receipt for the first tattoo. [[User:Barmar|Barmar]] ([[User talk:Barmar|talk]]) 00:46, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

− | ROTFL because it reminds me of some program managers at a former company who thought they could organize tasks on a large project by putting them up on a board and sequence-ordering them with colored twine. Made for a nice piece of modern art and not much more. [[User:Cellocgw|Cellocgw]] ([[User talk:Cellocgw|talk]]) 15:06, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

− | I think that its a play on puting the cart before the horse. You can't make a Thumbtacks and string diagram without thumbtacks and string, you can't tattoo a receipt for the tattoo without having got the tattoo. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.63.213|172.69.63.213]] 16:58, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

| |
− | Transcript needs a lot of work:
| |
− |
| |
− | - Emojis, as visual elements, should probably be removed
| |
− |
| |
− | - Figure out a way to describe everything on the board and the connections, including:
| |
− | :- position of each item on the board and in relation to Beret Guy
| |
− | :- relative size of each item
| |
− | :- contents of each item - not all of them are clear/specific text or symbols
| |
− | :- connections between items, some of which are to specific content elements within an item
| |
− | - Describe Beret Guy's position
| |
− |
| |
− | I plan to work on this later, but likely won't complete. River 05:17, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
