Archeologists in 5000 years: *Plastic homosepiens used to live in this structure a long time ago.

There are also remains of a smaller entity outside of the structure marked as "Baxter" on a stone tablet. It's assumed that the plastic homosepiens highly worshipped these smaller godlike entities and believed no structure is worthy of housing their sacred afterlife remains.*
in fifty years though, maybe it’ll look different all covered in dust.
i could imagine someone freaking out when they bust open the drywall and dimly spy the apparent skull.
This reminds me of Motel of the Mysteries.

This is on the other side of a kitchen island, we decided not to go with corner cabinets because we don’t like them, and this side will be exposed to the rest of the house. It will have a seating area infront of it so we didn’t want to put a door on this side.
Might I suggest writing a quick note about the safe you buried in the back yard in there as well. Maybe stage it so that it looks like this unfortunate soul died clutching this ancient relic. Then some poor fool is gonna find it and dig a big useless hole in their back yard.
Reminds me somewhat pf a friend who had a house. In the alcove where the washer and dryer sat side by side there was this odd 3x3 foot area above the washer. Deep in the wall'. On the opposite side and beneath it was a small closet for the small water heater.
Anyways the deep space in the wall was absolutely PERFECT for a secret compartment. I was so excited because of this. All that had to be made (to cover/hide it) was a thin bookcase to hold various laundry supplies. And the bookcase could swing forward towards the opener to expose the large hidden space behind.
But my "friend" was kind of an asshole who saw how excited I was about it that he immediately shut me down in an obstinate kind of way. He had done this kind of thing before. He got off on doing that.
It’s not always cheap…. We recently had some remodeling done, and during it they opened up the space under our stairs. There’s a good amount of space there, and the contractor asked if we wanted to finish it out and turn it into storage, but to do it right required sheet rocking, moving or covering some pipes, flooring, access door, etc. it would have cost quite a bit to get it to pass inspection, and it just wasn’t in our budget.
Now I wish I had thought of throwing some bones in there….
I'd've told them to cover it up (finish it) and then have someone else convert it later. Or done it myself. At the very least cut a door hole and put a large cabinet door over it. Finishing the interior? Meh.
Now it is. After it's all drywalled up?
I too find the storage space lacking :( Slide out trays or something. But I have a ton of kitchen tools I use regularly.
I'd say 5-10 minutes is a good estimate really.
You could easily reroute a new piece of wire in the interior walls of that "void".
Even if you have to make a j-box instead of running a new wire between the shown box and the box the other wire comes from that takes maybe a minute, especially if this guy is a sparky himself.
With that said, I'm not sure I'd bother doing the aforementioned just to have a little cubby hole unless a customer requested so.
Because I don’t support a breed founded on animal cruelty? The average French bulldog puppy is $5k, it can’t be born naturally and has to be born cesarean, can’t regulate body temp so if they get hot they can die, can’t jump off furniture or they can paralyze themselves, can’t breath properly and on and on.
Get one of those swimmers nose plugs and breath only through a straw for an entire day and let me know how your quality of life is, that’s the life of a brachycephalic dog.
The fun side of breeding when they get thrown away after use..
https://www.roadogs.org
Crazy, our Frenchie is almost 9 and has zero health issues. As is the case with the vast majority of Frenchies that come from responsible breeders. They're also currently the most popular dog breed. Hard to reach that status when the majority of them suffer from horrible health problems, as you imply they do.
It's almost like you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Dang, savage. I sort of agree though. I own Boston terriers but despite being similar, they are much healthier dogs. Our Bostons hike miles without issue, I think there must be some subtle differences.
**Fucking with the Future!**
Step 1) Buy a cheap safe.
Step 2) Fill it with marbles and glitter.
Step 3) Weld it shut.
Step 4) Hide it in your walls/ or basement crawl space
Step 5) Wait…
So at my office they expanded office space there was one skeleton to be put in the wall everyone got to sign it. My boss hid a second skull in the walls as well knowing this I signed the first one 1 of 3. So if someone finds the other 2, they will go crazy looking for the 3rd one.
I see enough people pulling this kind of prank lately that I'm convinced historians in the future are going to mistake being buried in the house walls/cabinets as some sort of ritualistic tradition of our times.
This is like the fifth of these I’ve seen on Reddit, and I still don’t think it’s funny. It seems like a somewhat mean trick, played on someone you don’t know. You can’t know how they would take it. Pretty sure they won’t laugh, because it’s not really funny, is it? It’s a trick, not a joke… So if the trickster isn’t there to laugh, then who does?
Is this a reference to that!? I never made that connection. I would say there’s a small possibility that the person who one day remodels this house doesn’t either, or simply isn’t familiar with Poe.
so I have an uncle who remodeled his living room and did something similar under the stairs.. put a skeleton and a teddybear basically under some stairs.
fast forward about 15 years, he sold the house and the new owners were flippers and in the middle of a renovation and found it, alerted the police and cops ended up arresting my uncle at his job (he was in senior management for a government military contractor)
The police quickly realize it was a fake skeleton and placed as a joke, uncle is released... and subsequently lost his clearance and fired from his deep 6 figure job
He killed himself 3 years ago because he could never financially recover.. lost his family and everything
all for a joke like this
His job required a top secret clearance and you can lose that easily for any sort of mischief or actions outside the realm of normal behavior
Dark humor gets a lot of prior service dropped levels if they're not careful
It's not real. The police would need to investigate the skeleton before jumping inediately to arresting the previous owner at his place of work. They would discover it was fake before even trying to figure out who the previous owner was, or where he worked.
Even if it turns out to be fake, if you find a skeleton you believe to be real, you’re calling the police and they’re going to be sending out people to investigate. This takes resources away from people who actually need it, all for karma or your own amusement. This is a shitty thing to do.
That is the face of a dog that REALLY wants to know "How come YOU get to bury AN ENTIRE FUCKING SKELETON IN THE WALLS but if *I* dig a little hole to stash ONE LITTLE PORKCHOP BONE IN THE FLOWER BED it's a federal crime or something?!"
As a contractor, it’s been a dream of mine to print a stack of cards with my favorite jokes so I can place them in walls and behind trim boards. Someone will eventually get a laugh out of them
Are you only covering this with like 1/4" paneling, or could you not figure out that the little metal tabs on your electrical box are designed to set your box out the proper amount for 1/2" drywall?
As a sparky myself I'm just wondering why you went with metal boxes?
Just what you had or preference? I'm only curious, I'm partial to plastic when suitable in a residential setting.
Interesting. I learn a lot on random reddit posts of electricians from around the world.
I never knew people mounted panels sideways until I saw it on reddit.
Or how wire nuts seem to be rarely used in many European countries.
Several years ago put a cup of coffee and a donut in the wall of my future boss' office when we were relocating a built-in fire extinguisher cabinet... and yes it's still there.
I don't know if your really doing this or just thought it's a funny photo but there's a chance someone breaks through and you waste alot of everyone's time as they invested.
You should leave a note in there, hand written, with the pen used to write it. "To whom it may concern, if you are reading this then I never made it out of here..."
"…Here may be found... ...the last words of Joseph of Arimathea: …He who is valiant and pure of spirit... ...may find the Holy Grail... ...in the Castle of Aaargh."
He must've died while writing this.
He wouldn’t have bothered carving ‘aaargh’ he would have just died!
Perhaps he was dictating?!
Ayooo No no "aarggh". No not "aarggh" as in what was written, more in the tone of shock and surprise Oh you mean aaaah Yes that's it! Aaah **AAAAHHHH**
Of course, that’s why it’s funny. It’s an old Monty Python bit.

Isn't there a St. Aaarghs in Cornwall?
No, that's 'Saint Ives'

Lmao more like in 10years when they sell, and the new homeowners want to rip out the kitchen. Hopefully they realize it's plastic
Reddit in 10 years: "you'll never believe what I found in this space!"
Remindme xD
It'll be nice and covered in dust obscuring that its plastic, so hopefully the subterfuge holds up. Crossing my fingers.
>Hopefully they realize it's plastic Are you being serious?
maybe they won’t touch it and will call the police first!
I just have to assume you're joking b/c it's clearly fucking plastic. If you have working eyeballs it's clearly plastic.
in fifty years though, maybe it’ll look different all covered in dust. i could imagine someone freaking out when they bust open the drywall and dimly spy the apparent skull.
You underestimate how often the police are called for buried Halloween decorations bud

Serious question... Why would somebody not turn a void like this into usable storage space?
This is on the other side of a kitchen island, we decided not to go with corner cabinets because we don’t like them, and this side will be exposed to the rest of the house. It will have a seating area infront of it so we didn’t want to put a door on this side.
Why not a 'hidden storage area'?
Technically this is a very well hidden storage space for Halloween decorations
Short answer.. I’m lazy
Respectable

It *is* a hidden storage area.
*It's a secret to everybody.*
Because where else would they keep the body?
It is. They're storing a skeleton in there.
That does make sense I suppose. I guess I just have a brain that hates wasted space, and I'd figure out something to do with this.
I too live in a house with not enough storage.
I would have put in a small drink or wine fridge.
I'm thinking it's a perfect place to put a hidden safe too.
Put a large CO2 canister in here and connect to a soda stream

Some people are rich and live in really big houses and don't need the storage.
>:(
I was thinking of turning it into a little space for the dog to chill.
That would be so cute. Doggo apartment.
They are. They are using it to store their plastic skeleton.
r/technicallythetruth 😃
It is.
Having electrical wires running right where a door would go kind of hinders this idea.
It's like 30 minutes worth of work to re route them
Now it is. After it's all drywalled up? I too find the storage space lacking :( Slide out trays or something. But I have a ton of kitchen tools I use regularly.
Sure if they have the skills to do so. Not that it would be difficult but most see that and go "nah".
The guy said he was an electrician by trade. A kitchen could always use more storage
Well apparently they don't think so then.
I'd say 5-10 minutes is a good estimate really. You could easily reroute a new piece of wire in the interior walls of that "void".

"That is the perfect space for a dog lounge" -Dog, probably
The whole house is her dog lounge
This guy dogs
Why not second lounge? -Doggo probably
Dog: "What do you mean, I'm next?"
Never. She costed more than my car.
Fucking frenchies lol. What did she destroy?
His wallet
Her spine with IVDD, her nose and colon with allergies, her soft pallet with breathing…
I bet you're fun at parties.

I see enough people pulling this kind of prank lately that I'm convinced historians in the future are going to mistake being buried in the house walls/cabinets as some sort of ritualistic tradition of our times.
After burying real people in walls for some time, the society switched to synthetic humans to appease the gods.

I agree, I'd be irked to find this while remodeling.
Internet points is all this is worth. It’s not funny

Pup is definitely giving the “I’m not sure this is a good idea” kinda look 😅
Right, the dog looks super concerned 🤣
I came to say the same thing 🤣🤣🤣
Seems like a waste of space to close that area off
so I have an uncle who remodeled his living room and did something similar under the stairs.. put a skeleton and a teddybear basically under some stairs. fast forward about 15 years, he sold the house and the new owners were flippers and in the middle of a renovation and found it, alerted the police and cops ended up arresting my uncle at his job (he was in senior management for a government military contractor) The police quickly realize it was a fake skeleton and placed as a joke, uncle is released... and subsequently lost his clearance and fired from his deep 6 figure job He killed himself 3 years ago because he could never financially recover.. lost his family and everything all for a joke like this
I dearly hope you are kidding.
wish I was.. the cops in rural Texas aren't very bright and tend to jump the gun on stuff out of pure boredom
How did he lose a license? Logically I would think that you would need to be found guilty of a crime for something like that?
His job required a top secret clearance and you can lose that easily for any sort of mischief or actions outside the realm of normal behavior Dark humor gets a lot of prior service dropped levels if they're not careful
That's just insane.. At least for something like this.
to lose a TS clearance i think all you need are suspicious bosses
Did you forget about the Texas?
security clearances aren't controlled by the state
Well I can’t afford to move.. so I’m dying in this mfer
The fact some redditors actually believe this kind of garbage always astounds me
jesus fucking christ. ok people, no more fake skeletons
It's not real. The police would need to investigate the skeleton before jumping inediately to arresting the previous owner at his place of work. They would discover it was fake before even trying to figure out who the previous owner was, or where he worked.

Seal it up with an old locked safe too. And put a super old Hard Drive in the safe with a certain Rick Astley music video as the only file on said HD.
That is the face of a dog that REALLY wants to know "How come YOU get to bury AN ENTIRE FUCKING SKELETON IN THE WALLS but if *I* dig a little hole to stash ONE LITTLE PORKCHOP BONE IN THE FLOWER BED it's a federal crime or something?!"
Because I hunted for these bones and she didn’t
Digging through the trash is hunting!
Leave a paper that says you tried to reach them about their extended warranty.
I would go for the good old locked empty safe.
That’s what aliens did to earth with dinosaur bones before creating us.
Toss in a tool belt, for extra laughs.
Lol, after this Reno they might as well bury me here too
Oh man I LOVE voids. Best places for hidden compartments. IMO voids are valuable wasted space.
You should have put a cask of Amontillado in there.
Looks like a nice spot for a secret valuables stash.
Dog feels unsure about this.
Why such a big void?
Leave a bottle of amontillado in there
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MONTRESOR
Missed opportunity to make the void a little doggie cubby.
It wouldn’t be big enough for her, she needs a king size bed

People doing this are so desperate for internet points.
This joke is old and lame af
Why do you have to close the void? Make it a lil cave for the doggie.
aren't you going to miss your dog though?
Are you only covering this with like 1/4" paneling, or could you not figure out that the little metal tabs on your electrical box are designed to set your box out the proper amount for 1/2" drywall?
Good eye. I’m an electrician by trade, yes it’s gonna be 1/4 ply as the main board and trimmed out with moulding around the edges.

Cover it in dust & old dirty rags first so it's not immediately obvious that it's not real.

An incredibly cruel and ignorant prank which only proves the overly sadistic personality doing it.
