Okay but kid me would've loved having that

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

I probably would too, but the resemblance to a shelter you would have expected to see in someone's garden in London in the 1940s was too fun not to share.

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I spent a good amount of my time as a kid in the crawlspace and in homemade box forts. I'd have loved an actual cave to hang out in!

[-] Ser_Salty@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago

Put some string lights and other decorations, it'll look quite cozy

More of a traditional New Mexico Pueblo apartment, especially with the ladder, Adobe and vigas. Check out Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Bandelier National Monument or Taos Pueblo.

Love how their write up is “Cash flow like crazy with the ultimate Airbnb/VRBO.”

[-] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

That’s what confused me about this. I guess I know nothing about British air raid bunkers. But to me that looks more like a Pueblo than a bunker.

[-] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

It looks like a playhouse pueblo inside that’s probably an actual pueblo. I’d bet this is a fairly expensive place around Santa Fe or something like that.

[-] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

It's much weirder than that - it's a bizarre take on an adobe mixed with modern house, in Wisconsin. The Zillow link is in the post.

[-] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Whoa. I was thinking it was a cute idea if a bit over the top. My thought process was:

Oh, that’s kinda cool. Probably some yuppie couple or grandparents in Santa Fe.

Oh my god that is atrocious tragedy

Okay, this is amazingly bad. Borderline so bad it’s good. It’s like someone was trying to be quirky, but somehow lacked the skill.

How many fucking beds are there? What is this, a cult?

Oh, AirBnB. That explains everything.

Also$1.5M buys you a shitload of house in Wisconsin.

[-] SkinnyTimmy@lemm.ee 25 points 11 months ago

That's cool af

[-] thekerker@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

'Tis a mighty fine pueblo fort, but 'tis no WWII bomb shelter, English.

That's a house that they built exactly how they wanted. Selling be damned, and now they have to sell it.

I also wonder what all our clicks do to the analytics. "wow, my house is popular! I can sell it for more!" Nah man, we were just laughing at it.

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

but i would've killed for sth like that as a kid

(i did kinda build my own bomb shelter out of huge ass bricks that were laying around, only supported by it's own weight and heavy ceiling)

[-] Darkard@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Picture 1 to 7 look normal enough, then it just becomes a theme park zone backdrop for mine cart ride

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I like the fake waterfall in the pool. It's like they told the contractor they wanted a real waterfall and there wasn't room, so he came up with a creative solution.

[-] boblin@infosec.pub 4 points 11 months ago

I kept scrolling through thinking whoever designed this was definitely not responsible for cleaning. The sheer despair I would feel if I had to dust all those rock surfaces!

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.ml 14 points 11 months ago

I kinda dig it. I realise it's not to everyone's taste, but I like it.

[-] just_chill@jlai.lu 13 points 11 months ago

I do prefer my living room not feeling like the interior of a zoo terrarium, even from the outside. I also like flat floors without pebbles.
A lot of the details of the house are lovely in isolation, that's just a lot going on, and I don't want to know how you clean the faux-rock surface.

[-] BlovedMadman@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

That's kinda cool...

[-] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 9 points 11 months ago

Sorry but we’re in Bad real estate, not Amazing real estate that everyone wishes they had.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

I realise it's a strong flavour, but I kinda dig it. Especially the living area.

[-] SlicingBot@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

This community is teaching me that custom everything is not actually a good idea. At least not when it comes to reselling.

[-] alex@jlai.lu 7 points 11 months ago

Clearly, this is a pizza oven. Your teenager will love it.

Homeowner: I want to live in Casa Bonita meets Legends of The Hidden Temple.

Contractor: How much you got?

[-] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

In what world would that be a bomb shelter? It looks like a little play house. You wouldn't have wood beams and windows in a bomb shelter

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Meanwhile, in Wiltshire...

[-] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

That at least doesn't have a lot of wood to catch fire. I guess if there's steel plating or something to close that window it makes sense

That's a hotel, no? What kind of family would buy this?

[-] gencha@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

It's marketed as an AirBnB

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

No, that's where the cave man lives. Did you not noticed him be mentioned in the property description?

[-] MadLegoChemist@startrek.website 5 points 11 months ago

“No garage, one space” in Wisconsin winters sounds fun!

[-] itsyourmom@artemis.camp 5 points 11 months ago

Lmao… all I can think of is YABA daba DOOOOO! The whole time I was looking at the other pictures I’m reminded of the Flintstones… I was also humming the intro song in my head… lots of bedrock! Haha

[-] PaulDevonUK@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Anderson shelter were the common shelter.

I used to play in one in my Grandmothers back garden in North London.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I know there were also brick ones, not just because my image searching tells me so, but because I have an old photo of one my grandparents and father had in London before that house (and 2 others they had at other times) was destroyed in a bombing. It was the only photo of any part of that house they had.

[-] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

You son of a removed, I’m in !

[-] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

Really ? We’re censoring words now ? Fackin hell

[-] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Wait they auto edited your curse word out?

[-] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yes they did ! That was automatically done

[-] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Holy fuck that's pathetic.

Was it this instance or your homes instance that did it?

[-] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Actually I'll test it myself

Son of a bitch

[-] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago
[-] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I can understand it removing a comment, but editing what I write without telling me is fucking bullshit.

Guess I'll be blocking this bitch ass instance later tonight.

The admins here have the tenacity of the worst reddit mods but with the abilities of admins.

[-] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

I mean, if someone’s offended by some words like these, maybe they’re not supposed to browse the internet
