Weird location, but after a while on this community, I'm almost surprised to see a picture of a hot tub that isn't surrounded by carpet.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was apartment hunting this year, and one apartment I visited had a Jacuzzi as one of its selling points. It turns out it was just a Jacuzzi-branded bathtub. In the corner of the bedroom. Surrounded by carpet.

[–] SomeoneElseMod 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Omg. Tell me you have a photo!

[–] moody@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't think to take pictures, and the posting is long gone. I assume someone was desperate enough for an apartment that they were willing to pay for that crummy place.

[–] Taringano@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I think zillow and other keep photos of these past listing's. I've seen some in the past. If you Have the address :)

Wait that's a hot tub? Holy cow, did the designers of this house never stand within 5 feet of a hot tub before? The air around a hot tub is always very humid and smells like chemicals. Plus there's always some noise even when the jets are off. Who on earth would want to put that in the middle of their main living area?!

[–] SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think this one is meant to be just a large bathtub, so no smell of chemicals/noise and potentially just for one person or two depending on size, plus you can have a bath while waiting for your roast

[–] SomeoneElseMod 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can use the bath water to boil your potatoes when you’re done!

it’s really a cauldron for a witch on the down low

Or fake grass.

I grudgingly admire the way the 3D wraparound tile was done. I mean it's horrible, but it's perhaps the best possible way to accomplish this particular version of horrible.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

including the electrical outlet in the splash zone

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If it's on an RCD protected circuit, it's fine.

Reminds me of flats I would design in the Sims when I was a kid

Says someone who clearly hasn't accidentally splashed hot bacon fat on their genitals.

I call that no-play and a trip to the burns unit

In front of my salad?!

[–] Blastasaurus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yeh my first thought too.

[–] paper_clip@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not a jacuzzi. That's just a very large sous vide machine.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My house in The Sims.

[–] will_a113@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

I once stayed in a timeshare that had almost this exact layout. It was exactly as stupid and disgusting as you'd imagine, but we were young and did a lot of stupid and disgusting things.

[–] feyo@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago

Loving it. Fridge is not too far away from the tub.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Any chance it is a dog bath? The washer and dryer give me "utility room" vibes. The fridge is for soda, and the oven for holidays that require lots of food.

[–] agissilver@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No windows at all so this is looking basementy.

[–] FatLegTed 4 points 1 year ago

Could be. This isn't a UK property but lots of us here have the washing machine etc. in the kitchen. We don't have the space for a utility room.

[–] macgyveringIt@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago

Don't knock it. That's where I defrost my chicken.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room all in one!

[–] athos77@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm betting the room in the corner is the bathroom, along with a utility room with the hot water heater. My guess is there's some kind of issue in either bringing the water in or running drains.

Also, the one visible window is weirdly high. I'm guessing this might be a basement conversion of some kind, which fits with the possible water issue.

Underground sexy snack dungeon

[–] YourHuckleberry@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Imagine having your morning coffee in a nice warm bath...shudders.

[–] Teon@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Hey do you guys want to come over for dinner and a bath?

[–] MrPloppy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Handy. You could peel the potatoes in the bath... 🥔

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Then just drop them in the water when you're done. Come back in a few hours and ..... boiled potato 🙂

Mitch Hedberg knew a lot about potatoes, and we could apply his wisdom in this case. Mitch said:

It takes forever to cook a baked potato in a conventional oven. Sometimes I’ll just throw one in, even if I don’t want one. By the time it’s done, who knows?

[–] FatLegTed 1 points 1 year ago

Kramer would love this place, as long as there's a shower attachment.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sometimes you need a snack while getting frisky in the hot tub.

[–] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Excuse you I am a snack. >:(

[–] Caketaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Finally! I can shit in the tub WHILE I’m making an omelet! :D

If this is the kitchen, I wanna see what's chained to the wall in the garage.

[–] Phobusplusplus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Heck you could have a soup kitchen.

[–] snor10@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

If you're gonna have two wet layers, just have one.

I would still take a bath there.
