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

[–] Gingernate@programming.dev 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What do you mean by that?

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.

[–] Gingernate@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] And009@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

Umm... That's where it began

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 86 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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