That sounds dreadful
I work a lot of fancy events as a caterer and often have a drink behind the scenes, but often these events are in random offices with no bar support, resulting in us drinking strange concoctions.
Spanish coke is popular, which is just red wine and coke. This is probably second only to white wine spritzers. Separately in day events, we’ve found putting espresso into coke over ice is surprisingly okay, I wouldn’t say it’s better than the sum of its parts, but probably on par with normal coke.
So I had the wise idea of shaking espresso, coke, and red wine together, just to see what it tasted like. I’d truly give it a 5/10. Which isn’t bad if not for the fact that I’d give each ingredient alone a 6/10 or better.
Thought for sure this was straight out of an episode of Venture Brothers till I saw your link.
Rusty Venture’s cocktail recipes were an ongoing gag.
I feel personally attacked!
Those seem like some specifically designed compartments. What are all of the groves and notches for?
Soap dish (removable), wine glass slot, cell phone stand, drinking glass section. The large part standing up can be used to lean a tablet against.
Orgasm tokens and body paint markers for drawing faces.
Do the orgasm tokens come with the board?
Most of mine happen because I am bored.
Rolling blunts. You just have to keep your hands dry
I like the vibe of having multiple blunts for a single bath
Careful, this is how you Chandler in the tub
I don’t know that weed could ever bring about the same effects and consequences. iirc it was ketamine that Chandelier used
Ah, half-joking, sorry. I was thinking that I would most likely fall asleep in the water after my third blunt.
Draining the blood away from the meat.
That’s a beauty!
I would love one of these with a dish drying rack. I like to kill two birds with one stone and save water.
…remind me not to eat off any of your dishes
They could kill a third bird by incorporating one of both of their bathroom procedures, eliminating the need for excessive flushing.
Turd bird
Saving water is why I do all my meal prep while in the shower, but don’t forget to install a garbage disposal in the drain, or you’ll risk frequent clogs.
Unless that is teak wood would not be my first material choice.
They make boats out of the stuff, I’m sure it will be fine.
Only in salt water actually, wooden boats don’t like fresh water.
Shit does that mean my dugout won’t last very long?
I’m no expert, my source is Sampson Boat Co mostly, but I suspect dry storage might prevent rotting and it’s mostly an issue with large® ships spending lots of time in water.
Didn’t native Americans use log canoes?
Same model! Good for keeping the wine glass dry on the outside and popping up the kindle
Don’t know about others, but I’ll spin around dolphin-style and/or try and float.
I wish I could float. I can swim but floating ain’t an option no more because of my bone density.
It’s also weird how every prop on the tray is photoshopped in. Did the person making this image not even have physical access to the tray?
I can only assume that photography is illegal in China
If you don’t care about making it look right it’s way cheaper to buy the component images and piece them together than it is to coordinate a photo shoot with a model who is willing to get in a bath and the crew who would be needed (not a lot, but probably a lighting tech and a makeup person at least, if one of them was also willing and able to do things like keep the bubbles looking right.)
But each of the props is individually photoshopped.
Wouldn’t you pick your stock photo of the woman in the bath, then create your green screen shot of the product with all the props actually on it with consistent lighting, and then Photoshop the whole then in as a single element? Why would they get stock assets for every single prop rather than use real props when photographing the product?
Not if I’m an underpaid entry level “marketing” employee. Getting each item is a separate purchase order, and your boss will be on your ass to use the digital assets his boss paid for. Shit, the person who composed this image may not have a camera other than the one on their phone and the webcam on their laptop.
I suppose that’s my bad for assuming marketers want the marketing material to be good. Which, honestly, was a silly mistake.
NGL I never understand why people do things in the bath
My partner likes to spend a half hour or so reading or watching a show. She uses these trays to hold her book, some bath soap, and some cola light.
Reading actual books (on paper!) in the bathtub is what I’ll never get: How do you flip pages? Do you dry your hands for each page or do you just live with soggy pages? Also the humidity in general is bad for your books… That’s why e-readers are so awesome.
You keep at least one hand out of the water. Maybe have a rag near the book for drying.
It’s the only warm place in the house.
I used to take a 30 min bath to ease my dermatitis.
It’s a lovely way to unwind after a long day. Soaking in water takes weight off your joints and bones, the heat feels nice, and I’ll usually put a show on my phone to unwind with an episode before I wash up.
as a gay male I can at least partially help break the illusion:
- it’s warm
- gravity isn’t being as much of a bitch on your joints as it usually is (if you’re over 30 OR breasting so boobily that you have back pain)
thanks i’m here all week
breasting so boobily
I’ve learned a new description for big ‘ol boobies and it’s fantastic.
As a straight male I can confirm these benefits.
Unfortunately I don’t have a bathtub that works with a tray- the wall side is too close with the wall :/
But do you achieve your breasting in a boobily fashion?
titfully so
attach suction cups to one side
I have this fancy suction cup wall handle what like I’m a feeble old poot monster (because I’m a feeble young poot monster) and it’s pretty neat for hanging stuff from and grabbing on to when I don’t feel like falling over.
I’m an uncoordinated middle aged poot monster and can confirm the universal utility of the sucky bar has probably saved me from getting several stitches
Why is being a gay male relevant?
Probably because the post is about what women do in the bath and he didn’t want to speak for them
It’s relaxing, but I wouldn’t spend hours reading or something, it’s just uncomfortable and you look like a raisin afterwards.
I think if you tried to spend hours in there the water would go cold, but it’s comfortable for, say, 20, 30, maybe 40 minutes, which is enough to read for a bit or watch an episode of a series. It’s indulgent, but it feels relaxing to shut yourself in the bathroom, go into a tub of hot water and relax isolated from the world outside.
Why even bathing instead of showering? It feels like swimming in your own dirt, while it’s so hot you sweat, but can’t really sweat, because it’s wet too and because it’s wet you can’t really read a book or do something else.
I don’t usually take a bath to feel clean, I take one to relax
Most relaxing thin on earth is to sweat in your own dirt. Ig opinions differ.
Personally I shower after the bath with cooler water, helps to reset my temp so I’m not sweaty after and obviously to clean up also.
Alright, actually never tought about that, also since it seems irrational to first use water to sit in and then use water to clean yourself. It’s more about the dirty feeling than actually sitting in dirt. Still I think I would prefer a comfy couch instead of a bath.
You’re getting so much pushback but I agree with you! No tub cushions, and I don’t like the feeling of dripping so baths and showers for me are pretty utilitarian. I do it because I have to. I’ll relax on the couch.
Couch-comrades!
I mean, unless you work in a coal mine or in the sewers, you probably aren’t covered in a thick layer of grime when you get in the tub. Most people are going to have a very thin layer of dried sweat and body oil, which will be a tiny, tiny percentage of the water in the tub.
“Feeling dirty” is probably something more about having trained your mind to be a certain way, and it could be retrained.
For someone with kids and pets and such, a bath might be a more reliable source of comfort and isolation.
I generally feel the same. Also, bubble bath- not relaxing, because then I’m covered in a thin soapy film and am forced to shower after.
That said, I think it’s a western problem. I didn’t hate baths when I was in Japan. Huge deep tubs, and the entire room is waterproof with a drain, so not only is the bath super deep but you can also overflow it as part of the experience. All that together made all the difference.
Not sure why you are being downvoted - it is a very relaxing thing for many:-).
¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
If you’re so incredibly filthy that a bath feels like soaking in your own dirt (no judgement, that’s valid), you could shower first. A bath for me at least isn’t about cleaning yourself, it’s a relaxation thing.
Alright, actually never tought about that, also since it seems irrational to first use water to clean yourself and then use even more water to sit in. It’s more about the dirty feeling than actually sitting in dirt. Still I think I would prefer a comfy couch instead of a bath.
Thank you, tired of all the bath haters saying baths are gross. If you got so dirty that literal dirty clouds are coming off of you like that kid from Charlie Brown, take a shower. But if all you did was get sweaty at the gym today, a bath will get you perfectly clean and isn’t unsanitary.
You can absolutely read a book.
My books live by my bath while I am reading them.
Reading a book is one of the great reasons to bath instead of shower.
If I want to read on a comfy spot, I just sit on my couch. Tried reading while bathing multiple times and there’s just always the feeling and the actual danger that your book gets wet.
What can I say, reading in the bath is a high adrenaline lifestyle and I’m a maverick
Suite yourself.
It’s because the water is hot and comfortable and helps with pain, but it’s boring as heck to sit there long enough to enjoy the pain relief. So you bring a book or a tablet and a snack. Or if you’re extra bad at relaxing, a tablet for show, a phone for game, a sweet treat, a salty treat and a nice cool water to help with the heat
I mean, I sprung for a jacuzzi tub for a reason.
remember to clean your jets regularly i saw a video of someone cleaning the jets for someone who didn’t know you had to clean them and i will never enter a mystery jacuzzi again oh god 🫠
Yeah it can get really disgusting if you don’t maintain it.
If I drink that much coffe I’ll poop in the bathtub
Easy clean up.
And the opportunity to waffle stomp.
Thats what YMCAs are for
Not sure if good or bad thing
More like, “The AI program we used to generate this slop has no idea what a women do in the bathtub, or that humans don’t drink wine and lattes simultaneously, and it can’t even maintain a consistent perspective around the edge of the tub.”
Don’t be so quick to blame AI. this is horrible photo shopping at its prime. The glass of wine may as well be cut from a magazine and glued on. The tray is skewed incorrectly
Yeah, it definitely looks like the tray was hastily slapped together in photoshop, but I think the tub and woman are AI. I could be wrong, but the perspective on the tub doesn’t seem right, and she looks uncanny.
This ain’t AI… This is the haphazardly thrown together product photos you see on amazon, which just plasters a few stock photos together with the product.
Yeah its not ai just bad photoshop that never gets even the perspective right.
Love the tiny wine glass with a weird perspective and lighting that has its foot cut in half.
Ah yes, salt, pepper, wine, coffee and a traditional photo stand to look at an actual photograph.
Mmm yes
There’s even some space left for a little jar of marmite!
That’s salt and pepper? I assumed it was like face creams or something
Face cream? In the bath? Get out of here!
I suppose they’re trying to show all the things the tray can do, not an accurate representation of a person relaxing in the tub.
ADHD brain can’t handle a bath. It’s too much relaxing and not enough doing.
Hence the tray, you do both and it’s better than either. Wish I had one
I guess I could code in the bath. But that might be dangerous.
Close enough?
Oh man. So risky to own that. I would hyper focus on this and probably end up drowning.
👀 ngl I’ll say I got this for my 8 year old but we know the truth
Even showers are 10 minutes of staring at a fkn wall
Not for Cosmo Kramer.
Get a shower speaker, actually wash yourself in the shower. Wow, a song and a half, guess I’m done.
instructions unclear listened to an entire season of a podcast, am still unwashed but soaking wet, my water bill is now $500, and my fingers are pruny
You gotta try farting bubbles
Where’s the hair wall?
Alright fellas, let’s brainstorm this out. What do the ladies do in the bath?
IDEA: Demographic analysis suggests that women are invigorated by the presence of many thousands of stuffed animals while sleeping. Perhaps the tray is for holding her Squishmallows while she luxuriates in the lavendar-scented bathwater.
My wife has one, there’s a couple of unburned candles on it, a battery powered lighter, some potpourri and a tablet stand.
I knew she uses the tablet stand, I think everything else is just because she likes the way it looks in these advertisements.
I wish women were real. They’re so pretty.
just become one.
but then I couldn’t go on the internet! everyone knows there are no girls on the internet!
I think it was that there are no grills online.
but by now there are wi-fi enabled grills, so anyways…
That’s it we’re forcefemming op and having a tea party
women 🍵
From what I’ve read about them in books they seem really great
I was single for 20 years due to various personal issues and insecuritys. I finally threw caution into the wind and went on a date.
I plan to propose soon. It’s worth it in the end. It really is.
especially when they go down staircases, I’ve read
IDEA: Sir, is it possible we have things completely backwards? Perhaps it is the candles that go in the bath and the woman who goes on the tray.
By god that might just be it!
Give this man a raise for single handedly inventing the candle watching bridge!
I’m one of them and I have no idea… why would you want to sit in your own filth? I’m also not a fan of swimming pools or jacuzzis.
So communal baths are right out?
Ok l, no one tell her that air is technically a fluid, so she is already swimming in filth.
Gas is a distinct state of matter. Or rather, a stinky state of matter
As you get older, you will sometimes find that your gas has unexpectedly become a solid, or even worse, a fluid 😰.
That’s the “fun” thing about science, because different disciplines decided to reuse the words from other disciplines we get very technical words with multiple meanings.
you shower before the bath
I know they don’t look at me like that when I barge in.
No tampoon dispencer?
they replaced that with a harpoon dispenser
What could a shower be without a tampoon to the moon?
What is that he’s dropping? Looks like a slimjim, but the packaging is wrong and it wouldn’t make sense with spaghetti.
And why is the water brown?
It was a chocolate bar. What else do you eat with spaghetti in the bathtub?
I have the same question as your first, but as for the second: probably whatever he’s dropping isn’t the first thing he dropped and other foodstuff has combined to dye the water.
So he’s sitting in soup.
Depends on your soup alignment
That’s my best guess, yeah.
If I remember correctly it’s a chocolate bar
Oh, yeah, it looks like one of those “world’s finest” bars they sell for school fundraiser (they’re a lot skinnier than they used to be).
Wouldn’t want your pasta to spoil your appetite for chocolate.
Not his first one judging from the water.
Now this is what I can get behind on
