No experts. Just people trying to solve a mystery based on the clues presented and some slackers who's only skill is drive by sarcasm.
Wire rack on the far left is from the 70's which I think the age is. I suspect there are millions of old photos lying around that people clean up, crop and tint for use on sites like shutterstock. It's a thing.

While I certainly would consider myself the opposite of an expert, I do think experts on bikes and bike equipment do post here a lot.
And if a guy likes Olive Garden, he should eat there. I prefer cheap local places to chains, but I also like Wendy's.
The premise of the thread is pretty silly, but I now think the OP wasn't terribly serious when he posted it, and trying to figure out what the picture really is has turned out to be pretty fun, especially when someone saw their own apartment in the picture.

Ohhh, good debate topic. Is saying you'd rather eat your own fingers than eat at Olive Garden sarcasm or not?
It's certainly a biting remark.
I'm assuming you aren't actually a sincere auto-cannibal.
Interestingly, the root word of sarcasm means to tear flesh, so eating one's own fingers might be a very sarcastic act.
Personally, I prefer eating lady fingers.Or chicken fingers.

I don't know #4 and #6, but I do know that studies show you're less likely to get sick eating at a cheap sushi place than at an expensive one. Weird little fact.
7-Eleven is ok for coffee. I was shocked when I found that out, and only did so because I was driving a lot. Much better coffee than Dunkin or McDonalds., which is good to know when you're in the sticks, and choices are very limited.
Donuts are donuts. I eat them almost never and probably couldn't distinguish between the chains.
For years, there has been a rumor that IHOP is primarily a money laundering operation, a belief no doubt helped along by this:https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/cl...op-restaurants
I am very reluctant to try a place if the word "Dirty" appears in its name. I have actually encountered more than one, and I was not tempted.

that looks like my kinda place.
I have a sticky test that I do before awarding a place with my patronage.
I roll up my slaves and place my arms on the table, if my armhair rips off and remains on the table due to stickiness that I eat/drink there.
Any place too busy cooking/making fat to clean is worth at least one shot!
That place looks like it would qualify.
olive garden would not nor would the other places I listed qhere people state the food is OK.
Good choice you made there mate innit?

The red flag in that photo is no locals. Unless they're parked on the side away from the picture, if you don't see beaters or work vehicles a place like that is best passed by.

Remember that when you post to Craigslist.
Dirty bike + sepia filter = profit.
