        I thought that for a little while, but there’s no way that type of flooring, wall, millwork, or lack of drainage could be that. Plus, it doesn’t look like there’s ANY space between the wall on the far right and the counter. I could be wrong, but at BEST that’s basically a utility sink in a weird location.

        Yeah I was looking at that, trying to figure out what was going on there. Maybe some sort of loft or something? The water heater is definitely mounted sideways because of that. But then I’m like, “why didn’t they just put the water heater on the ground under the stairs?” and nothing made sense and I realized I needed to go outside and perhaps buy food or socialize, rather than get lost in…waves hand at picture whatever it is that’s going on there. It’s upsetting, but… Not today, internet!

      You know how you can run your hand over velvet and it changes color slightly depending on how you’ve mussed the fibers?

      I have a another weird spot for you.

      Look at the rug.
      Someone must have the most consistent pattern of travel ever.

      Looks like a shady AirBnb where the host didn’t have a bathroom, but did have a spare basement storage space and a cow rug that was too ugly to put anywhere else and simply didn’t give a shit.

      I wonder if that’s the hot water heater for the whole house? Looks a bit small and it’s odd to mount that on the wall unless modern stuff is just that good.

      Something about this seems like someone’s partially finished basement and it’s a Pittsburgh potty, which answers some of your questions at least.

      The electrical on the water heater looks temporary

      What is that white cable or pipe leading to the toilet from the tank

      I thought it could be for wheelchair access, but then there’s the sketchy looking stairs behind the… Wood… Fence… and the… Transparent cloth wall???

      Why does the brown cow pattern fit the little cutout for the toilet in the rug

      Why is there a giant cabinet under that counter, but it also still looks inaccessible

      What is that giant sink against the wall in the mirror

        That cabling is the kind of temporary that lasts longer than the heater. The pipe from the heater to the toilet is the pressure relief of the heater. To me it looks like a DIY repair in a Soviet summer home, maybe in the Baltics somewhere. Just a random guess. The transparent is probably a glass wall. Why glass? No clue, people are weird. That cow hide was matched to the toilet most likely… The sink is probably a clearance sale item from some luxury looking brand. Got it for cheap or free just needed a use for it :D Well these are just my thoughts but it does evoke some nostalgia in me.
