[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

A vegas height stripper pole

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I didn’t even notice that!

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Airbnb party house.

The neighbors have probably tried to burn it down.

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.

I did think maybe young athlete.

Not planning on having kids any time soon, more money than they really know what to do with, basketball hoop IN the garage, lots of screens...

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days 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.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

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

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

Swinger house.

A group owned it for fucking.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's new construction.

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

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.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, Im 40 years old. Im not doing my coke off the toilet seat anymore I have dignity. And back problems.

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 32 points 2 days 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 13 points 2 days 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 2 days 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 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days 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

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 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] sawdustprophet@midwest.social 12 points 2 days ago

is the stripper pole load bearing?

That may depend on the user.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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 2 days ago

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

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 6 points 2 days 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 2 days ago

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

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 10 points 2 days ago (4 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 2 days ago (1 children)

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

Also a nice TV too high in the sex room.

Is that a stripper pole on the middle?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 2 days ago

The Zillow description straight up calls it a stripper pole.

[–] dukeofdummies@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I was literally just thinking that. Must've been built by a rich guy who likes maids and twitch streamers

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean I'd be up for entertainment from maids and twitch streamers...

But I also wouldn't create this grand room of hazards with the hopes of paying some of those women to entertain me. Seems excessive.

Actually, now that I think about it more, its weird to me that anyone would actually be entertained by whatever it is the designer was hoping to accomplish here. If it were me, I'd be far to paranoid someone would slip and die, or the inevitable flying booze would ignite on the stove. And to add to it, what is that entertaining about watching maids and twitch streamers do whatever this guy was thinking? Did he lose his dick so this is the closest thing he can get to what he used to feel with a woman?

And now that I'm done thinking about that I'm realizing the answer is far more obvious: cocaine. It's the cocaine.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

for once i think i know a valid use-case for mcmansions, all that openness actually makes sense if you want a bunch of naked people milling around for your enjoyment

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 2 days ago

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

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Hot tub streamers optimal space

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago

That is by far the worst use of 2,000+ sqft I’ve ever seen.

And I’m actively house hunting for around that size, so I’ve seen some… interesting spaces.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

You obviously don't sous vide much.

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's no space for a fridge. I see an outlet on the wall but why would you not made a space for it.

[–] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A basketball hoop in the garage? A kitchen with cabinets so high up you'll need a ladder? And only $1.5 million dollars!
