Dreamgirl you amaze me all dressed in paisley

This predates Paisley. Lemmy might be catching up to reddit faster than we thought

Referring to finding deeper information, from an actual human response. I've always known that pattern as a Paisley, but here's a word I've never heard of hinting different geographic origins.

And the reddit connection? Pretty sure reddit is a bunch of bots or so it seems

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Umm... That's where it began

Paisley. It was really popular pattern in the late 1960s / early 1970s in curtains and furniture.

Paisley, which is a fractal.

[โ€“] lohky 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

^Paisley, ^which ^is ^a ^fractal.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are all paisleys fractals?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

They should be. I'm unaware of any that are not. You can find videos on YouTube that show how paisley fractals replicate, it's quite cool.

It's called paisley. Originated in Persia, but named after a town in Scotland.
