I've always taken exception to Spongebob's choice in dwelling. It's obvious that pineapples wouldn't make particularly good underwater domiciles. They're far too buoyant to be easily submerged. And even if they could be submerged, they would almost certainly be broken down by scavengers, everything from bacteria to perhaps even hagfish.
This was an interesting example of how perception can feel like more than the sum of its parts. I instantly recognized this as a pretty unconvincing photoshop but I couldn't have told you precisely what gave it away. After zooming in the full-size version I could pick out and point to certain things that were obviously wrong, but my brain said "photoshop!" just a split-second after seeing the image and couldn't have registered those details instantaneously. Or maybe it did?
Nonapod: Your concern is quite valid. That is why I suspect it is actually a stucco exterior designed to look like a pineapple.
We actually had a restaurant like that near here that was open until some time in the '70s, the "Hawaiian Cottage". I was in it once; it was pretty wild in a tacky way.
It's a shame that it was demolished and the site repurposed. Tiki-themed places have got to be due for a comeback sometime soon.
I imagine that SpongeBob still has to defend his home against roving hagfish from time to time just the same. They are not known for their great eyesight or appreciation of quirky architecture.

Wait, I thought Michael Cohen said he’d never been to Prague.
As long as it's not taxpayer funded i luv it.

Sponge Bob was one of the men drugged by Cardi B?

Looks like cultural appropriation to me.

Oh, it’s Spongebob. At first I thought it was one of those goddamn Minions.
