But you can give lollipops to flowers.
::: spoiler alt text A sign about what you can and can’t do in an aera.
What you can do :
- A flower and a lollipop. Maybe it’s a windmill. Edit: it's a magnifying glass and a flower.
- A bird with some sound or ultra sound coming to it.
- A person sitting crossing their legs like meditating. Maybe their legs are wood.
- A dog in leash.
- A person throwing two little cubes in a bin or in a giant glass.
- A shoe. It’s written "Comfortable shoes are recommended" in English and Italian.
What you can’t do :
- A fire. The wood is the same than the legs of the meditating person.
- A person swimming in water.
- A cigarette.
- A square, each faces having some antenna or reversing syringes. Probably a drone.
- A hand grabbing a flower. Or a windmill.
- A hand close to a cat.
- A head, mouth open, talking.
- An ice cream cone.
- A bike.
- A moving ball. :::

A magnifying glass and a flower. You can look at (and enjoy) the flowers but (as per the second row) not pick them.

Oh thanks! I really didn't understand this one. Why didn't they draw an eye?
tiramichu@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 282d
I'm with you on that. Magnifying glass is usually "inspect" versus "look" and an eye (perhaps with a dotted line connecting it to the flower) seems altogether more obvious.
That said, although the point of pictograms is to (hopefully!) be clear and multilingual, there might be cultural differences at play that mean I shouldn't jump to conclusions.
It does seem an unusual choice though.

Hah, I thought it was a head, "you may smell the flowers".

I see it.

Took me a moment to see it as a magnifying glass. "Balloon", "Flying Ball" and "Lollypop" were my first matches.

Balloon and pinwheel were my thought

It is a butterfly in a skewer, being used in tandem with a magic wand to levitate a ball.
That's a warg with its neck stuck in a bicycle stand. That's indicating that if a warg comes to eat you, you can quickly run through a bicycle stand to trap it until the authorities arrive.
You can use the force to collect pieces of wood that have been cut at 90° angles, but you can't use wood cut at other angles for witchcraft, by keeping them in formation next to a large leaf with a slice in between.
Don't approach a cat with your from the side. Well, you are not supposed to do so from over it either. The best way to approach is from under its chin, with your palm upwards.
You can later pet it from the sides and the top.

That's an important part.
Those skewers are precision tools made to handle radially symmetric butterflies and cost a significant sum to the local govt.

No volleyballs, rather specific isn't it?

You can look at the flowers, but you can’t pick them.

Do not karate chop the cat*
Kyrgizion@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 282d
Maybe it means "no rubbing your pussy" in public?

the bird using "echokinesis"

And you can scream at birds
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone · 12 pts · 282d
It’s actually letting you know there’s wifi to connect to the government birds 🤖
truite@jlai.lu · 4 pts · 282d
But you can't just scream. Only at birds.
ulterno@programming.dev · 1 pts · 282d
Specially, if you are using longitudinal waves to scream at birds, it's fine.
But definitely don't use transverse waves to scream at random.

This sign missed the mark by a mile. When I have to stop and think for quite a moment to wrangle a signs' meanings from it, it has already failed.
stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 236d
I'm still gonna pet the cat
truite@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 235d
I didn't! I saw the cat and let him alone, but it was so hard.
stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 235d
I haven't even been there.

You can gather wood, but you can't make a bonfire.
ulterno@programming.dev · 1 pts · 282d
Also, you can slice them, but they need to be a rectangle with proper 90° angles and not just any parallelogram.

I like that the only text is a recommendation to wear comfortable shoes.
