That is a pretty common diameter for exhaust fans, though most don't do 270° of bends. (http://shop.panasonic.com/home-and-...ing-insert-fans )

I feel like the "heavy gas" problem is pretty easily solvable with a portable oscillating fan.

"But as it stands, you essentially recreated the gas chambers at Auschwitz, except those had stairs to enter."

I know it's from reddit, but can we add this to the list of failed 'my nigga have you tried LSD?' goon projects? Tried to make a party bunker, ended up recreating nazi gas chambers.

I think I found the "classy" version of that house with all the mannequins


$250k for a 5BR 4BA 6500sf house isn't bad but apparently it needs new HVAC and it's probably crumbling from the inside and riddled with asbestos.

The entire house, but that image in particular, feels like being inside a coffin with the lid closed and hearing the thud of dirt above your face.

That house reminds me of old Young Adult book covers. Especially if it's a coming of age, totally average and ordinary girl's adventure with magic and a strange boy who may or may not be an Elf that wants to whisk her away to Fairy Land where she could live happily ever after. Bonus points for a potential divorce sub plot that's cured by the girl somehow.

I'd assume that thermostat is for show and it's controlled by management. I think a friend lived in a building like that. He always bitched and moaned that it was too drat cold because they never turned on the heat.

Edit: to answer your second question: to make the tenants feel like they are in control of the heating in their apartment. I assume this largely works via placebo, but you are too powerful to be controlled by such means.

Definitely not my taste; not very much of it anyways, but that is a far cry from a McMansion. Some of it is actually not bad.

This is something though for sure.


This looks like a temporary dwelling place/office for hurricane refugees. I half expect stacks of bottled water just out of sight from the camera.

I think I posted an article about it in the PYF Long Articles thread, but this house seriously looks styled after a hotel. Just like all the other mcmansions are styled after generic, instagram friendly fashions, this place seem so inhospitable and temporary, like you're not meant to live there for more than a week, maximum. This is a goddamn hotel not a home.

Are Marble Hornet spin offs still a thing? Because this feels like a screencap of a youtube video that's about some young college aged kids being stalked by Slenderman, so they holed up in an abandoned house. Or no, one of of them woke up in this abandoned house in the middle of the woods, and when they walk outside there's bags of leaky red stuff and yarn dollies hanging from the tree branches.

My first thought based on the wall of windows, building shape, and pools is that it was originally a LA fitness that someone converted into a house.

Mine was that this is a low budget version of the space station from that Prey videogame. Be careful going around the corners, you might see a black smoke monster! ...or a human cult member. If it were for all the windows, it could easily be an underground bunker for some offshoot of a mormon cult. Altman be praised!
