what the hell is a hroom
Ent pondering noise.
(I know, I get the joke, but still… HROOM)
took me a second
Is that a door with a bolt latch partly behind the tub?!
And the tub + toilet going on top of a carpet?
If I remember right, this stoked accusations of AI art being used in DC backgrounds.
You remember wrong. It’s from 2016, long before AI art was a thing.
Yeah designers and illustrators have been using sloppy technical shortcuts since long before AI, speaking as a designer/illustrator
So AI slop before the AI. Wonder where AI learned to be bad from?
I get what you’re saying, but i want to remind people: AI doesnt learn! LLMs don’t think nor remember, it is only a fancy prediction model. It is more analogous to phone texting word prediction. It cant do anything remotely human-like.
Agreed, got trained would have been better. Learned can mean that, but implies a bit more than was meant.
They dont call it machine learning for nothing. The process it learned isnt too far off how biological neurons work, except instead of random chemical interactions… machine neurals use…math
Feet, hands, it’s all the same thing if you can’t draw, right
Isn’t this post/screenshot from before the novelai leaks and stable diffusion hit it big? Wasnt that like October 2022?
I assume it is tile, but a bathroom that large would have a designer who wouldn’t have the tile pattern clip under the front of a toilet or the corner of a tub so it is terrible wither way.
Maybe it’s a Murphy tub?
Considering what we’re looking at, this is the most sensible explanation. WTF
Forgetting to drain it before it flipped up would be a nightmare
No, that’s the only way it drains all the way.¹
¹on paper. In reality it never goes up perfectly straight and you have to put it up, take it back down, mop out the last little bit, then put it back up, where the remaining damp absolutely will not air dry without a box fan running in the room.

Do not check where the carpet goes
I love your username.
My professors for the CS class on Parallelism and concurrency was making an analogy between different functions and lego bricks. At one point presenting a function and the associated lego brick, decorated with nice flames, he droped: “This lego brick turns out to be so good that it is litterally on fire”. I liked that.
I bet she’s whacked her shin on that thing so many times
realizations in order:
lotta pink
pretty big for a bathroom
why is the plunger in front of the door
why is the bathtub in front of the door
Is that a rug because it goes under the tub
push button toilet
What’s the issue with the push button on the toilet? Most toilets in my country are just a button to push on top?
I mostly see these in public restrooms or airports, seeing one in someones house instead of a lever is kinda like seeing a steel toilet paper holder. It’s not incorrect but just struck me as out of place, definitely the most normal thing in this picture tho
I think this is because dual flush is more modern, so newer built buildings or ones that are often renovated like businesses or airports would have them. I’ve seen the dual flush top button on new residential builds because it wastes less water and therefore more economical.
My grandmother’s house had a push-button flush in the early 80s when I visited, so probably earlier. She wasn’t wealthy or anything, and it wasn’t a new house at the time. How “modern” is modern?
I don’t think they’re modern in the sense that they were recently invented/introduced, but modern in the sense that they’re now becoming a lot more popular in places that have municipal/city sewer hookups.
Anecdore time: my grandparents built a little cabin on an island when they retired (more Puget Sound than tropical, they weren’t bajillionaires lol), but they had one 30 years ago, alongside an outhouse, simply because draining a septic tank on an island cost a fortune. Septic service company basically uses a pontoon retrofitted with a tank and built up to float with that much weight, and they’d have to transfer that to a septic truck in order to haul it away on the mainland.
They’ve been around for quite some time, but 20+ years ago you’d probably only encounter them being used in niche places like that, or in a recreational vehicle, or in other parts of the world where the cost of municipal water is a consideration
I was thinking specifically the dual flush ones, where you can choose the amount of water used. I’ve only seen those in the last 15 years or so but maybe they’re older than I thought.
Yeah, my gran’s one was the first time I’d seen that kind of thing. It was slimline and eco-friendly (for the time) and you bet you had to use the double-flush a few times if you’d been having the big lunches.
You don’t get to be a superhero without defying public conventions… of porcelain placement and toilet flush preference.
I moved into a house which has one. I have no idea where to put my Kleenex box now.
Get the smaller square boxes, that should fit.
Rug also goes under toilet, where the plumbing connects.
Bathtub also only has a curtain on one side, leaving the end open for water to splash everywhere, and for cold air to constantly creep in.
Ah, but maybe the toilet is just a prop to make her home look “normal” and she disperses her guano in another, more batlike way?
Are we going to ask how and why the tub half blockes that door?

Is the toilet paper over the tub?
Bat soap holder.
Aah. Seems like Batgirl can survive without labeling every little thing.
nah clearly that’s a porcelain soap holder
Being upset at that bathroom is not unreasonable.
Yeah. Though, boots and cape to the bathroom is pretty standard
It is on Halloween and nights out patrolling for criminals.
That bathroom is massive!
That’s no help when you can’t enter it.
It’s of huge help when you can’t leave.
I don’t see any visible hinges. That door swings out.
Not a problem if you enter every room through the window.
that’s gotta be $3500/mo just for it
Either this is inspired by a shitty bathroom the artist had lived with once, or they intended to make it a shower and they changed it to a tub last second, probably so they could add a bathing scene.
And the rug going under each fixture?
You’re assuming it’s a rug, but it could easily be a art deco tiled floor. That honestly was the least confusing part. I’ve lived in dozens of places that had similar floor patterns. One house I rented had bright pink tile in a similar pattern but it also went up half the wall doing the same thing.
Sure, but I don’t see even a hint of grout lines, and I’d expect to at least see a few of them.
If it’s marble it wouldn’t have large grout lines or tiles. I realize I didn’t say that in my earlier comment, although I meant to.

True. You’re right about that, but then you have a 20 something in, I’m assuming a city apartment bathroom, remodeled so a door is being blocked, with a pink tub and bath, and marble tile floor–and I remain skeptical. But you’re probably right, because anything else would just be absurd.
The more we talk the more I’m convinced the artist was drawing from a specific shitty apartment they had or knew about.
Patterned plastic carpet
Clearly Gotham landlords don’t give a shit lol.
Landlords in Burnside are known to cut corners.
I have seen the absolute ‘this semi-historic building was demolished a few years later’ bad landlords, and the bathroom situation wasn’t quite this bad.

Once again, that is not the door.
Is Lemmy gonna redo all of the ancient reddit shitposts?
What is it?
If it isn’t a door, then it’s a really weird paint job and a really stupid shower curtain in the foreground.
Can’t we all just agree this is a shitty panel? Even if the person defending it is correct in the artist’s intention, it’s shitty enough as a whole that the average person thinks this looks absurd.
No! We must fight about it until we all agree why it is a shitty panel of course. Thats the way it is, I dont make rules.
What do you mean? Sure looks like a door with a bolt to me.
idk if that image is supposed to add context to back up your point but it sure does not
We see the actual door now on the far-left, instead of the centrist Trump-enabling door in the middle there, and the fridge-freezer combo on the Florida far-right
I see it now. It’s a color element in the wall, and the bolt lock on the door is actually a shelf for the shower! It makes so much sense now.
Looks to me like the “shelf” is a curtain rail on closer inspection, but why is it floating and what kind of interior designer has a random ass colour element like that
I’d say it looks AI generated if it wasn’t older than me.
Did AI this bathroom?
this is so shitty, that it has to have a rl counterpart. why would you draw that if you could not?
I’ve lived in shitty old apartments where they moved the door location and just sealed the old door.
Splish Splish
I’m hoping it’s like an in-joke for the artist.
Simple explanation: the bathtub is actually a mimic.
Is that AI generated, or just oldschool terrible?
