I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Yep, looks like they cut out the benchtop upside down.

If you flip the benchtop in photoshop and overlay it back onto the cabinets it all lines up properly:


That makes sense, though honestly that combination of angles would irritate me no matter what. Why not make it two turns of 45° instead of like 20 + 70° or whatever nonsense that is?

I wish I had photos of it but my high school is an insanely hosed up building. The library was a humongous (like, the size of the gym) central room and was designed like a conversation pit. The area that composed the actual library itself was two or three steps down from the "hallway" that surrounded it, and separated by a sort of hybrid bench/wall that was probably 3 and a half feet tall. It was literally intended to be a place where you could just sit and chill anywhere. Which is cool in theory until the bell rings and the entire god drat school floods into the "hallway" surrounding the library and is the loudest room in the building

It was also fully carpeted on every surface with "70s" burnt oranges and browns and it was absolutely disgusting

that is the point of them, yeah - the idea is that by getting people seated together and facing each other, this encourages them to socialize

of course tables around a chair does the same thing and isn't a tripping hazard but still, conversation pits are cool

anyway here's a listing for yall

I mean literally in the sense that you can access the conversation undercarriage and replace conversation elements that are impossible to reach outside of the pit without a conversation jack.

Arguably the best episode, The Viewing directed and co-written by Panos Cosmatos who is responsible for Mandy. With Peter Weller, Steve Agee, and Eric Andre. I highly recommend it. Most of it takes place in that conversation pit.

I think the point is "where is" as opposed to "the dump, as demolition debris." Or perhaps there's some ominous secret.

there's half a house there, someone who knows what they're doing can get a discount on a house in need of tremendous renovation

more likely though that the current property owner set their price more as a floor of what they need to cash out of the mortgage and have enough to start over. its a highly optimistic, almost desperate price
