For the lazy

But then on Sunday, a user named IndigoRoom made a post called “Celebrity Number Six has been found.” The post features a photo that is an exact match of the silhouette, and which other Redditors have not been able to find anywhere else on the internet. According to IndigoRoom, Celebrity Number Six is the Spanish model Leticia Sardá.

I've never heard of that person. I guess I always assumed all of the celebrities were going to be roughly equally famous. People thought it was Olivia Wilde for a long time.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I wouldn’t even qualify them as a celebrity. She’s a Spanish model. Definitely an outlier in that regard.

Adriana Lima, a Victoria's Secret model, is not one but two of the faces on the fabric. Travis Fimmel was also mainly known as a model at the time, his TV stardom was only just starting to rise when the fabric was made.

Finally. What are all these people going to do now that the case is closed though?

[-] athairmor@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Hopefully, they work up another idle investigation. We really need more articles about things that happen on Reddit.

PW;DR

Here is the original fabric because that apparently doesn’t get linked in an article about solving who is on said fabric

The saga I’m about to explain to you is incredibly frivolous...

"Four years ago, on Reddit ..."

Nah.

Who is it?

[-] weariedfae@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Spanish model Leticia Sardá is Celebrity Number Six.

[-] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Did you open the article?

[-] LordBelphegor@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

paywalled, did u read it?

[-] GreenAppleTree@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Paywall starts around the 3rd paragraph. Answer to the question was the very first sentence, right below the title. In large font.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

That explains jack shit. The question is what does "Celebrity Number Six" mean, not what's the name of the model.

(The actual answer is that in 2020 some redditor posted pics of curtains with pictures of eight celebrities and it took until now to identify the last one)

...no the question at the top of this comment thread is "who is it?"

And in which case, the answer is written in the subtitle of the article, a single click away. Literally the text when you load the page is:

"Celebrity Number Six' Internet Mystery Is Solved

Jason Koebler, Sep 9, 2024 at 10:28 AM

Spanish model Leticia Sardá is Celebrity Number Six."

[-] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Lol, the question was literally "Who is it?"

That's the question you ask when you're looking for someone's name.

"What is it?" Would refer to the curtain mystery

[-] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It's literally below the headline. Paywall doesn't matter.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It’s not a paywall, and there are easy ways around them anyway. I use byebyepaywall.com

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 0 points 1 week ago

Gee, why didn't I think of that? Thanks for not answering the question.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
