Jakscuse me?

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

I see a lot of theories here but, if we're honest about it, there's no making sense of this.

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago

It’s wild that this room is basically the entire living space. There are two small bedrooms and bathrooms, and then this. They list the kitchen separately but if I’m interpreting the dimensions correctly it’s a 20x24 foot room with a kitchenette, a stripper pole, and a ten-person hot tub. And 8 TVs, 6 of them in the middle of the main window, although I suspect they might be photoshopped in.

It has a stripper pole in the kitchen

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

A vegas height stripper pole

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

I didn’t even notice that!

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And why is there parking space for like 200 cars outside?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Airbnb party house.

The neighbors have probably tried to burn it down.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 10 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Swinger house.

A group owned it for fucking.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's new construction.

This is an AirBnB party house. No one who owns this will ever spend a night there.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

You can inherit it if you spend the night though

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

Thanks for the fuck shack

I kinda like the honeycomb lighting, but that’s it

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Cool for a garage/gaming room. Not sure if it fits in a kitchen for me.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

Yeah that is neat. Might be hard to maintain?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago

No one even commenting on the bathroom. Three miles of countertop for two sinks. A giant bathtub nook with an expensive but rather small tub.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The house that Dogecoin built.

This building was designed to make a statement and that statement is "I have tech money." A detail that jumped out at me is the garage is connected to the kitchen via a large glass door; the cars parked therein are meant to be part of the decor of the house.

The state of the place makes another statement, and that statement is "I very suddenly don't have tech money anymore." The building itself looks 99.9% finished, there's some wires hanging out of a wall in one picture which makes me think there should have been another television installed or something, and work on the yard was abandoned pretty early on. I doubt the guy who ordered this monstrosity has spent a single afternoon here before his stocks collapsed and/or he went to jail for wire fraud or something. Seller is a tech brosn't.

Just pop in some cupboards ten feet in the air in case the fucking Harlem Globetrotters come round for a bath and a poledance.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 4 points 23 hours ago

Mirrored finish! So you can watch the TV mounted at cruising altitude.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I've brought up some of my issues in other comments, but here's the rest of them:

  • The front door doesn't feel centered and the side panel really bothers me.

  • Why do I need a massive clear wall into the garage?

  • The jutting, unfinished bricks on the interior walls is just asking for people to scrape themselves on it.

  • Those are relatively low doorknobs combined with abnormally tall doors.

  • In the bathroom: why put the faucet for the tub there, where it blocks easy access to that big space by the wall?

  • Why do you have such massive bathroom sinks, with the faucets struck way off into a tiny corner of them? Is it for doing the laundry, because there isn't a washer/dryer shown anywhere, and I didn't see a hookup for one, either.

  • The second bathroom sinks seem more reasonable, but the pics of the second bathroom seem to leave part of the room out.

  • It's such a comparatively small bedroom for such a large place.

  • They're not showing the inside of the closets, which makes me think they're very small. Or maybe they just forgot them.

  • Literally half of the house is a drive-through garage!

  • The little house to the left is also included on the property. There aren't any pictures of the inside, possibly due to what looks like a collapsed roof.

And going back to comments I made elsewhere, but which still bother me:

Why is there a gap around the edge of the Jacuzzi? Someone's going to break their leg!

AND WHERE IS THE REFRIGERATOR?!

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The listing says the laundry is in the garage, although I don’t see it pictured

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 2 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, I missed that part of the listing. Well, we can see the front half of the garage, and most of the side wall, and it's not there. Looking at the picture of the outside rear, there aren't any outside vents for the dryer. Which means the most logical place for it to be is on the interior wall of the garage, where those fixtures are, between the sliding glass door and the electrical panel.

It looks like the dryer vent would lead downward into an open square - what's that about? It also slightly reduces the utility of the vaunted six-car / drive-through garage. This whole thing is just very strange.

They say you can subdivide and put in eleven townhomes, which I guess kind of explains the community clubhouse feel of this place, though it doesn't explain the adult sex club feeling. Except -- this is in Grand Junction, where a bunch of those inbred polygamous Mormons in Utah to when they want to marry their underage cousins. I wonder if this was intended as a starting point for one of those places and they had to sell it instead?

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 22 hours ago

Also a nice TV too high in the sex room.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Also the random chandelier in the kitchen area.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

That's the formal stripping and lap dance room. If you had any class you would know chandeliers are in style right now replacing purple neon lights of the old

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

is the stripper pole load bearing?

also if i didn’t know any better i would say that thing in front of the pool is a folding bed so the room also counts as one of the spacious bedrooms they advertise on zillow. but it’s hard to tell even with the listing and the additional photos. one benefit of the listing is seeing that the other massive room is an indoor basketball court though.

[–] corbs132@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks like a mechanically deployed cover for the hot tub to me

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 15 hours ago

reality is often worse than fantasy. i choose multi-track drifting instead.

[–] sawdustprophet@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago

is the stripper pole load bearing?

That may depend on the user.

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 31 points 1 day ago (4 children)

For when you just gotta relax in a hot tub while watching a movie while your strippers dance on a pole and cook you dinner by the light of a chandelier and you also need rapid access to your small aircraft that fits in your garage.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that garage is designed to house and display 2 to 4 exotic cars. The big plate glass doors into the kitchen say to me "I wanna be able to see my Ferrari from the hot tub."

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

It’s so the “companion” can see the exotic cars while she’s riding the guy in the hot tub and remind herself why she’s suffering through this ordeal, keeping focused on the large cash payout and continuing to pretend enjoying what she’s doing.

The high ceilings add to the open and airy ambiance, while the living room takes center stage with a stripper pole for entertainment and a 10-person hot tub, perfect for relaxing or hosting unforgettable gatherings.

They're sex people.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

A person who wants to have more sex than he's getting. I'm going out on a limb here assuming it's a he.

You can't do it in the tub. Besides whatever sanitary issues you might be thinking, having sex in water sounds more fun in your head than it is in reality. It tends to wash away all the natural lubricant and just doesn't work. Doing oral on someone sitting on the edge works, but that's about it.

Having sex on the hard tile floor next to it is super uncomfortable. Probably have issues getting a foothold, especially if you're fresh out of the hot tub. Maybe do that once.

Having sex standing up is fun every once in a while, but not on the regular unless you're really into that.

This is how you design a sex room when you haven't had very much sex, especially not sex in kinky locations.

[–] mx_smith@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

This is correct , we have a two person hot tub and sex is not something we do in it. We can just wait till we are out of it and have sex. Water ≠ lube

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

We did the hot tub on our honeymoon and really enjoyed it, but that was our only time. Haven’t gotten back to a place with a private one and just the two of us since then, unfortunately. It significantly increased my desire to buy one but I’d probably have to move someplace without neighbors to enjoy it that way.

Is no one going to mention the horrific slip risk on that marble tile? Stepping on that with wet feet is a TBI waiting to happen

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 day ago

my first thought was "oh joys finally i can crack open my skull outside of the bathroom!"

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not to mention the gap between the Jacuzzi and the floor - someone's going to trip and break a leg!

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 4 points 23 hours ago

I'm hoping there's a drain down there as well.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 21 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Is that a stripper pole on the middle?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 1 day ago

The Zillow description straight up calls it a stripper pole.
