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 34 points 2 years 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@feddit.uk 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Omg. Tell me you have a photo!

[–] moody@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 14 points 2 years 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@feddit.uk 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

including the electrical outlet in the splash zone

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

I assumed porn house.

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

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

In front of my salad?!

[–] Blastasaurus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yeh my first thought too.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 2 years ago

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

[–] paper_clip@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

This Guga fella is out of control

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 17 points 2 years ago

My house in The Sims.

[–] will_a113@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years 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 11 points 2 years ago

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

[–] macgyveringIt@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

No windows at all so this is looking basementy.

[–] FatLegTed@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] Teon@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] YourHuckleberry@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Excuse you I am a snack. >:(

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room all in one!

[–] athos77@kbin.social 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Underground sexy snack dungeon

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Heck you could have a soup kitchen.

[–] Caketaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] snor10@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

I would still take a bath there.
