Does the toilet look to long to anyone else?

[–] fkn@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a bariatric toilet and the image is weirdly compressed.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I had to Google that but, apparently, that's definitely a thing. I suppose I should have realised that with bigger arses come bigger toilets.

[–] cabbagee@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The image is compressed vertically.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pity, I was hoping for long toilets to be a thing for some reason.

For when you had too much fiber and get the exact amount of Courics.

Also in the description,

"This manufactured home will require some updates."

Definitely a bulldozer is needed :D

That's 100% not a tear down reno. It just needs new flooring and some paint. Probably $5k tops.

[–] ElleChaise@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

A soggy, 20 year old trailer is absolutely a tear down, even if it's in quite a bit better shape than this one IMHO. Those things have glued in panels that turn to roach sugar, I've never seen one over 15 years old, regardless of how clean the tenants/owners kept their living space, that didn't have a massive roach infestation hiding somewhere.

Lol no joke something just like this sold for $650k CAD near me

I guess I have to wait for another recession to buy a house

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yowch.

My good friends bought a house that had been shown on Hoarders and they had to empty out the prior owner’s belongings after they died. They said that this person just opened up some drawers and their cat had been using them as a shitbox for months without being emptied. A million other such gross details. I helped them out in day by going over there to wipe out their kitchen cabinets with bleach. By that time the stuff has mostly been emptied out. They said that there had been a refrigerator there, sitting unplugged and full of rotten food but the door was closed and the seal intact. So they tried to just get the whole damn fridge out to the curb and hauled away.

But! They got it to the doorway and it was one inch too wide so of course they had to open up the fridge and take its door off to make it narrower. No dead bodies inside but there might as well have been.

I have done hurricane disaster relief before, and I can attest that there is no smell on this planet that equates to a refrigerator unplugged for several weeks but still intact

[–] alex@jlai.lu 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At least the price is justified for once

[–] Smoogy@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well they did knock it down $300

If it was anywhere except Mississippi.

Free murder carpet.

[–] Synthuir@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Oh neat, SCP-173’s containment chamber is up for sale! I wonder where he wen—

[–] reflex@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can smell the Luminol off the carpet.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Seems they've misunderstood shelfie.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

This is so uncanny. I love it. I just wouldn't want to live in Liminal space

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, it’s only $40,000. I’m sure you could get a loan for $60,000 to fix it up.

[–] pbjamm@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only thing that could fix that up is a fire.

[–] SuperSleuth@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You could find much better property for $100,000 in Mississippi.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh I mean the total loan would be $60k. $20k to fix it up.

I dunno. Whatever. Point is it’s not as bad as some of the stuff I’ve seen on here.

I've fixed up worse, not for the feint of heart for sure!

Somebody added a sunroom on a double-wide… ¡Madre de Dios!
