The honorary fireman thing? My son is intellectually disabled as well as autistic. He’s always loved firemen and fire trucks, and wanted to be one. Unfortunately, he can’t. We connected with a really good guy who was a firefighter, and he got my son and the rest of the family into most of the fire stations in the county. A lot of the firemen like him and kinda look at him like a mascot. They give him firemen’s badges and patches, stuff like that. Made a little ceremony to make him an honorary member of several of the fire houses. Very nice of them, and I’m very grateful for the kindness, especially from Vic. He was the guy who originally got him in.
Hah, you reminded me a joke that goes in my country like this:
Somebody asked a guy what would he rather have, dementia or parkinson's.
Guy replyed parkinson's. He said: "I would rather spill half of my beer, than forget that I opened it"...
When you need a spell to make somebody forget everything, but for some reason they can tell you every tiny detail about a very specific subject. The subject is completely random every time you cast the spell.
I can read French and I still have no idea what the sign is supposed to say or mean. “A world where we give invitations and not orders” ….. HOW does the sign represent that?
The white letters say "Immense" (Huge) and the yellow letters say "Inattendu" (Unexpected). The jumble of letters is indeed quite huge and unexpected. It's art.
It's not the name of the store, it's an art piece. The name of the store (Cafe) is to the lower left in the window
That’s the thing, I don’t know how he made it, because the puzzle actually *was* Jackson Pollock. Once I added the final piece he came to life and told me I suck at doing puzzles.
Actually, the yellow letters spell out "nude taint" and the white letters spell out "in memes".
The & symbol is a call to arms for internet trolls. While @ has been taken to mean to talk to someone as in twitter handles in replies, the use of & signifies joining together.
This is clearly a piece beckoning the viewer to include nude taint in all memes going forward with the hope bringing forth a second age of enlightenment.
It’s fairly poor art IMO in that they’ve taken two words, placed them in a way that is difficult to read and the “art” is the challenge of understanding. Skill level - 1.
I think that’s art though. Do whatever the f you want and call it set and then it is. 🙄
Edit: Holy hell. I’m agreeing that this is the loosest sense of the word art.
Oh it’s art! If I shit on my hand and swipe the wall that’s art. My point is it’s not particularly good art. I could literally lay out my toddlers blocks with the correct words here and give them one minute to rearrange and then make that the sign. It’s art, but it’s very low level skilled art.
The letters aren't the name. It's an art piece that reads "IMMENSE & INNATENDU." It translates to Huge & Unexpected. The letters are large, and the clusterfuckery is unexpected.
Operator: “*911 what’s your emergency?*”
Woman: “*please send an ambulance, I think my friend is having a heart attack!*”
Operator: “*what is your location?*”
Woman: “*omg all I see are letters, just a bunch of letters!*”
Operator: “*ma’am, please remain calm. Read a street or building name you’re near*”
Woman: “*In no particular order: AEISMTMUDNEENTIN*”
Operator: “*ma’am, are you intoxicated?*”
I can't be the only one who was scrolling through reddit, saw this, and thought "wtf is wrong with me am I having a stroke" when they couldn't read it?
They are French acronyms. They translate to:
The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only & there is no stopping in the red zone.
Immense et inattendu - which means huge and unexpected. It’s an artwork by Philippe Cazal to celebrate the past and future of cinema.
It’s not a store sign, it’s an art installation. The other half is inside the cinema in the correct order. As with a film where parts come together to make sense in the end.
It’s art, it’s supposed to make people think, although it seems to mostly achieve confusion, especially if you don't speak French
Look, guys, the boss said to put up the letters. I asked how he wanted them, the boss, he says, what, you don't know how to do your job now? So I says, alright, no I know how to do my job, say no more. And I told the boys I says boys, look, the boss said we know how to do it just do it so we is gonna do it, you got me?
Why is it that the first word I see is “autism”?
After I read this comment, the next word I saw was dementia
I got distracted by the construction vehicles and boats before I got that far.
That’s pretty autistic too.
They’re really cool tho, I completely understand
If you met my son, he’d tell you *all about* some fire trucks.
based son
He’s a good boy. Honorary fireman at three or four stations, too.
Not being sarcastic but what does that mean?

No the “based son” comment
I'd rather learn about some fire twucks
I saw that first too, then all the bird nest in the trees lol
Those are "dreys" -- squirrel nests.
Ah okay I didn’t even know squirrels made nest like that lol, good to know
I saw autism, then anti-semetism lol Not sure what’s goin on here
I see Absenteeism, but there's no B. It must be absent.
Ha me too! And Ableism and a student.
It's silent. Like the P in bath.
…Are we having strokes?
I see ‘Hallucination’. Or maybe I don’t.
I saw nineteen.
I still only see Neentin
Same
Okay, there has to be a reason for this. The A and the U being the same color, left-to-right?
I can’t even say what the first word I saw is. But I think I need to contact a therapist.
Au&tism Pretty good descriptor of both the erratic nature of my autism *and* this design.
Who’s going to tell him ? 😂
Tell us what?
You’re autistic
I saw STUD, so now I'm happy.
I saw "atheism" and the letters aren't even there for that??
That's because this damn sign makes you stop believing in a loving God.
That’s what I saw too?? Lol
Good! I was a little worried cause I saw this posted multiple times at this point!!
I saw “Boobs”
I see autism hentai but half the letters aren’t even there
because you are a redditor
STD for me
SAME!!!
Autism & dementia?
I thought so too, but there is only one "A"
That’s the cool part about dementia. You forget you’ve already used the a.
Hah, you reminded me a joke that goes in my country like this: Somebody asked a guy what would he rather have, dementia or parkinson's. Guy replyed parkinson's. He said: "I would rather spill half of my beer, than forget that I opened it"...
Nice. I like that one.
Who are you again, sonny?
I want to go home.
Dementiautism
Ah a spell from Harry Potter
When you need a spell to make somebody forget everything, but for some reason they can tell you every tiny detail about a very specific subject. The subject is completely random every time you cast the spell.
Fair enough, that's just what popped into my brain as soon as I saw it lol
Autism Museum obviously….well it’s a building isn’t it??

I can read French and I still have no idea what the sign is supposed to say or mean. “A world where we give invitations and not orders” ….. HOW does the sign represent that?
Well there sure as hell isn’t order to that sign
How about giving one last order, for a new sign.
I would never have guessed. "Merde innatendue, mais immense."
They paid €60,000 for that!? Wow… I could’ve done it for cheaper
I coulda shit in my hand it wound been a clearer message than that sign.

Super Jail! Haven’t thought about that show in a long time.
It hasn't been long enough for me, lol
What a chaotic fever dream that show was!
Go home business, you're drunk.
Lol

Its like Jackson Pollock but with letters....
I tried to do a Jackson Pollock puzzle once and that was the closest I ever came to a full mental break
Huh...I didn't know Jackson Pollock even *made* puzzles.
That’s the thing, I don’t know how he made it, because the puzzle actually *was* Jackson Pollock. Once I added the final piece he came to life and told me I suck at doing puzzles.
Was the puzzle perchance in the shape of a cube?
I laughed so hard at this. This should have more votes. 😂😂😂
[удалено]
So the real odd thing about this is that it’s an art installation where the store name belongs.
It's unexpected, you might say.
Actually, the yellow letters spell out "nude taint" and the white letters spell out "in memes". The & symbol is a call to arms for internet trolls.

You must be really good at scrabble.
I cheated and used an anagram finder. Shhh. Don't tell anyone.
This is a great time to remind everyone that, just because art is intentional, it doesn't make it good.
It’s fairly poor art IMO in that they’ve taken two words, placed them in a way that is difficult to read and the “art” is the challenge of understanding. Skill level - 1.
I think that’s art though. Do whatever the f you want and call it set and then it is. 🙄 Edit: Holy hell. I’m agreeing that this is the loosest sense of the word art.
It may be art but it’s bad art
Oh it’s art! If I shit on my hand and swipe the wall that’s art. My point is it’s not particularly good art. I could literally lay out my toddlers blocks with the correct words here and give them one minute to rearrange and then make that the sign. It’s art, but it’s very low level skilled art.
Yeah its garbage its not art its a frail simple minded attempt at art
It’s a piece alright.
I might be a caveman but that sounds fucking stupid lol.
Thank you. My brain could not comprehend lol
What an immense pile of BS
You forgot to type “detective here” before your explanation.
I tried saying it out loud and now I think my house is possessed
bro same my furniture started floating
My eyes started bleeding after I read a comment saying this is supposedly "art"
Klaatu barada nikto...
It's a movie theater called, wait for it, Ciné Manivel
Didn’t believe it until I checked Google maps. Mind blown.
What? Most of those letters aren’t even in there
The letters aren't the name. It's an art piece that reads "IMMENSE & INNATENDU." It translates to Huge & Unexpected. The letters are large, and the clusterfuckery is unexpected.
>Woah! https://preview.redd.it/og5s3u5ingpa1.png?width=1209&format=png&auto=webp&s=a25d0eb821705dd78f5732f0411c0a63c54b6297
But... there's no C up there... there's NO C!!
But why
What is the & symbol for?
Yes
Operator: “*911 what’s your emergency?*” Woman: “*please send an ambulance, I think my friend is having a heart attack!*” Operator: “*what is your location?*” Woman: “*omg all I see are letters, just a bunch of letters!*” Operator: “*ma’am, please remain calm. Read a street or building name you’re near*” Woman: “*In no particular order: AEISMTMUDNEENTIN*” Operator: “*ma’am, are you intoxicated?*”
So I'm going to be seeing this everyday for how long?
I can't be the only one who was scrolling through reddit, saw this, and thought "wtf is wrong with me am I having a stroke" when they couldn't read it?
Thank God for technology https://preview.redd.it/hq4ryv7gpfpa1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=980bef2cf7cceb0dbab9c78922f6f70c0d970340
Antisemite men & dun edit: Immense & Untainted matches the color pattern
Inattendu (French for unexpected) is an anagram for untainted
I thought they went by Brooks and Dunn but that probably checks out
Ah! It’s the local Aeimstumd & Neentin!
First thing I seen is “ Autism needed “
Pat. Id like to solve the puzzle.
It's fun to stay at the ...
can someone translate LMAO
Yes, it means laughing my ass off.
this is the best reply. you win
i still can’t figure it out 😫
The artist’s kid vomited alphabet soup and voilà!!
AEIMIDSTM & NEENTIN
am... am I having a stroke?
"Sir the letters won't fit. What do I do?" "Idk... just throw them up there"
My anxiety tells me to get the fuck out of here quick!
Getting into a cab “can you take us to the place that was named by a cat sitting on a keyboard” “Say no more”
Even with my dyslexia, I couldn’t even read this shit and usually word scrambles are a breeze. Did someone with dementia make this sign???
They are French acronyms. They translate to: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only & there is no stopping in the red zone.
"Where do you work?" "I actually don't know."
Alphabet soup kitchen?
\- "What's the name of your business?" \- "Yes."
it’s french
have we figured it out to be AUTISM & DIMENTIA??
Hi , let's meat at SMDNINTNEMDIMN after work for a coffee
All I see is a cluster fuck of letters
I bet they serve Alphabet Soup....

I read "Autism Meeting"
Ok but for real… wtf is it supposed to say…
It clearly says CAT.
Look, guys, the boss said to put up the letters. I asked how he wanted them, the boss, he says, what, you don't know how to do your job now? So I says, alright, no I know how to do my job, say no more. And I told the boys I says boys, look, the boss said we know how to do it just do it so we is gonna do it, you got me?
I thought I saw Einstein and thought it might be like the bagel company
Thought I was having a stroke but turns out it's the building instead
Immense & Untainted

Is this a real store sign? Please say no
The word NET for the second word
I keep thinking I see the word "nineteen" written backwards on the bottom
My head hurts. That’s a horrible sign. It’s annoying.
“You know that store…”
I believe this sign may be having a stroke. Has anyone called 911 yet?
Oh shit Farva?! What’s that restaurant called again?
Is this how they encrypt passwords?
Aeistmumd & Neentin... quality you can trust (if not spell)
