The pieces of wood shaped like slices of bread are disturbing.

[–] Especially_the_lies@startrek.website 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But if you zoom in, they aren't. It's shadowss.

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

If you then enhance, you notice it is actually painted.

[–] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 15 points 2 years ago

Lol. That would make more sense!

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Cutting boards to be more specific.

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure it's fake.

Whats with the little gimp nook behind the fridge? The spiders in there are probably so big they have names.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 16 points 2 years ago

I was trying to think of the words to describe that area and you came up with something much better than I could have.

[–] mihor@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Friend had cellar spiders in his bathtub in college. Of course they all had appropriate (i.e. stupid) names.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

When I was a kid my parents had a shower in the basement. It's normal for my area, a lot of outdoor manual laborers back in the day so having a shower in the basement meant you could come home after work and not drag the stink and filth of work into the house. I didn't do outdoor manual labor but I worked in restaurants, which brings with it its own stink and filth, and I also often got home at like 3am, so I used the basement shower om an effort to keep the house clean and not wake everyone else up. This meant that I had to establish something I called the Basement Spider Detente. We had tons of spiders down there, and I try to be respectful of everyone's right to be alive absent any unwarranted aggression. The deal we reached was as follows: the entire basement and garage belonged to the spiders. They were free to roam, hunt, and generally spide however they saw fit. The shower was off-limits, though, and the penalty for coming within jumping distance of my naked bits was summary execution. I like to think that somewhere near Pittsburgh is a genetic line of cellar spiders that differ from the rest of their species in being extremely hydrophobic. I hope their line succeeds and confounds biologists in the centuries after I go to wherever it is we all must one day go.

gimp nook

I don't know when I'll get to use it but I'm stealing it.

[–] streetman@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The more I look at this the worst it gets

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Is that a door behind the wood/bread in that enclave? This room is nightmare fuel.

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

Enclave? Oh you mean the bedroom.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Middle ages style bed. Where you sleep sitting up because otherwise Death will think you died.

[–] gridleaf@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This has strong "student housing in someone's basement" vibes.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Looks like it might be converted from a restaurant kitchen, with the supports and the tiles used.

It puts the lotion on its skin or it doesn't get any more bread

[–] rem26_art@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This feels like 3D objects that loaded inside of another object in a video game or something

[–] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

You've no-clipped into the backrooms.

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Feng shuin't

[–] Lag@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

As a kitchen designer I can't look away. I know it's still there if I don't look.

[–] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How does this happen? Why would anyone build this kitchen this way?

[–] Auk@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You start with a house old enough to have the kitchen designed around a wood stove (which goes in that alcove). Someone eventually rips it out and tries to modernise the kitchen, leaving a weird space and a kitchen layout which is a bit off. The original walls and room layout are often messed with as well, which doesn't help.

[–] Satiric_Weasel@beehaw.org 12 points 2 years ago

It's for the wall-goblin. The goblin that lives in the walls.

The goblin's going to eat something. It's in everyone's best interest that something be bread.

[–] Kittybeer@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I think those are terribly placed clipboards with sheets of paper on them.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe but in either case that most definitely isn’t bread.

[–] itsyourmom@artemis.camp 8 points 2 years ago

Gotta say… the comments about it being in the basement have gotta be correct. No windows… weird layout like too many appliances crammed into any available spots.. the creepy wall hole for… idek. And the beams that 100% Stubs your toe with every midnight snack mission…

And those magnets yo…

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks a bit like an old apartment of mine

[–] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That you lived in voluntarily? Was it… nice?

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

My friend, one does not live in such a place, one merely exists.

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

No. It was terrible, it had roaches, mice, ants, all sorts of things. The meat chest in our landlords basement failed and they didn't know - they had a lot of meat rotting in there and it smelled like corpses as well as corpse flies all over.

So thankfully because we lived there we saved enough money for a substantial down payment for a nice home we've been living in phew!

[–] TheCee@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

Looks like a couple of used, dusty sponges, weird sponge clothes to me. I'm more worried about: Everything else.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

That tile is doing this room no favors.

[–] MechKit@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

It's an offering for whatever lives in that hole.

[–] liquidparasyte@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago

None of this feels right, at all

Something sinister lives here

[–] flan@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Least terrifying basement apartment

[–] build_a_bear_group@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just can't get over imagining the weird half story up thing being a fume hood.

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Let's cook mr White!

[–] octoperson@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I would walk into those pillars multiple times per day

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

honestly, that corner is amazing for a bedroom

[–] Theroddd@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

On the ledge on the big hole. Near the fridge.

[–] weariedfae@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Weird, did that nook use to be a dumb waiter?
