Similar one still on the market. The photo tour is wild.

I hate the swastika floor billard room.
Oh, you weren't joking...
If you say so. Doens't look at all like a swastika to me. Not even if I try.
Here's fixed perspective of it:
EDIT: Oh! I see it! To me the background is dark and the white lines are the objects in the foreground. I had to really look to find it. I guess some people see Nazis everywhere. I just see pretty lines. Besides, there are instances that spiral in both directions, so it's fine. I highly doubt it's deliberate, and you're ignoring that the lines keep going to make larger spirals. If you think it's secret Nazi signaling, I think you're nuts.
Where did I say its secret nazi signaling?
Saying I‘m nuts for seeing swastikas in this pattern is like saying all the people that saw the dress as silber/blue are nuts. Some people have different pattern recognitions than others and for me the white was the background and the black was the foreground. I mean you even admitted that you see it after the second look.
Some people see a musician and some people see a woman at first. Do you think those that see the musician are nuts too?
Maybe its jusr because I‘m german and we are way more cautious about this topic than most other countries. Swastikas are a complete nogo for us and its even illegal to use them as a symbol outside of historical context.
But everyone sees two bears high fiving first
