Or it’s based on some of the shitty apartments in the greater Boston area.
We viewed one where the “shower” could only be used while kneeling because the peaked roof cut the top off, and it was a walk in. Another where the back door could only open 1/3 of the way because the only place in the kitchen for a refrigerator block the door except enough to squeeze a slim person through. That back door was the only way down to the laundry, but there was no way in hell to get a basket through it.
Humans, mixed with ADHD and strict deadlines, can make the same mistake as generative AI. However, genAI have a general vibe (art-style if you will) that is a much bigger telltale sign than the six fingers. In fact, I first check for the smeariness, the shine, the bloom, and recently the sepia texture; before I even look for the other problems. GenAI still can make the same mistakes with hands, etc., just less often with more common poses.
I'm assuming it's linoleum, which would go with the pink tub era.
Otherwise, an artist needs a visit from Vinnie Goombah.
Depends on the circumstances. Sometimes in really old buildings, changes to the layout are made at some point, and then you are left with some old door somewhere where no door is needed anymore, so you just seal the door shut and leave it in place. In that case, it would be no big deal to put a bathtub there.
I had an old school friend I visited in Chicago, and her apartment had a locked door in her bedroom against the back wall, and her landlord had just said "it's not used, just ignore it." It didn't even have a doorknob, so she had just ignored it for like 3 years. The building had been there for like 100 years.
Naturally, after some alcohol, I convinced her I could lockpick it, and we pushed her bed to the side and I spent about ten drunken minutes picking the deadbolt. We finally got it open, and discovered it was a straight-up small elevator! None of the lights or buttons worked, and we were worried about it falling, so we got out of there.
To this day, I'm not sure if it was an old building elevator for residents and her room had been a hallway, or if it was some kind of (very small) service elevator, or something for the ADA (handicapped requirements). But it was absolutely fascinating.
It might be an old dumb waiter. They weren't really meant for people, but you could use them to transfer food and other items without carrying it through the main rooms of the house.
Yup. I rented a room in a 3 bedroom apartment that originally was a 1 bedroom. My room had an extra door that I had my bed against.
Probably a weird thing to see if you’ve never lived in an older building.
I got the same impression, it's a somewhat old cheap place with a service door.
Now how do you end up living in such space when you have the skillset of a superhero is the real question.
In Gotham City some of the most expensive buildings are very old. Also old fancy apartments often had "maid's quarters" located on the top floor because it was hot up there before AC. So they're small and simple but have great views and might be convenient for rappelling out into the night. Peter Parker would love one but can't afford to be in a doorman building.
I have seen this before and came to the conclusion this is not the main door. Could be a rarely used utility room or so. The plunger is a big hint this door isn't used much. It's not immovable like the bathtub and would block even more of that entrance. She would have moved it.
People also cite that there's as carpet under the toilet, but it's probably just awkward tiling/design, etc. It's still a very confusing image, that door might as well be painted on.
Oh, that gives me an idea for my next bathroom paint job...
It's actually not a door. It's just some sort of wall design. Same with the floor.
Here's the full page:
The shower curtain not being held by anything on one side remains unexplained.
Oh that’s the curtain rod? I thought it was a latch for the door
It’s okay, the door is locked.
What about the carpet?
Also locked
Just a toilet plunger, free to drip poop water in front of the partially blocked door. At least the water shooting out the back of the shower will help wash it away.
smh have never seem a Murphy bathtub before?
I'm willing to bet that someone involved had lived in (or had a friend who lived in) an apartment with an awkwardly placed door like this and thought it was the perfect detail to convey how crappy the apartment was supposed to be.
Someone drew it
It just looks like the door opens inwards. You actually pull the plunger and it opens the other way go the Batgirl cave.
It’s a dark thin bridge over a cavern though so she’s lost a lot of dates after they clogged her toilet.
au contraire, i think it makes you quite reasonably upset
Oh my god you can't just ask Batgirl that
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
Uh, if that was drawn today, people would accuse it of being AI made.
No point or anything here, just a random thought that came to me
