I'm not a native speaker, so please care with me: how can something be ON the ceiling? Or is the proposition "on" also used if something is attached to a surface?

You've got it with the second sentence, yep. Something is "on" something if it's attached to it - so hanging upside-down from the ceiling counts, because it's attached to it.
More like:
My physio asked me where I got my tattoo (that she was staring at). Tell my why my brain said "on my leg" and I had a mild stroke before I could say the name of the shop.
One time, I bought a giant picture of a spaceship taking off. I brought it home and proudly showed my then girlfriend and our mutual friend, who was visiting. The friend said "nice! Where's it going?"
I didn't know the destination of this particular space flight. I had impulsively bought it at a thrift store and done no research. I thought about it for a minute, then said " ... Space?"
Turns out she was asking where I was planning to hang the picture in the house.
I mean even if you genuinely thought that's what it was asking for, just ceiling is extremely nonspecific
Yeah this is basically just a dad joke.
I am specifically this kind of dumb
It doesn't make you a bad person
I am not very familiar with smoke alarms, so this made sense in my brain for five seconds before I realized it (I) was really stupid
They could at least spell ceiling

This smells of apprentice.
Rookie mistake.
It's actually called "the overhead."
