I'm sure the building inspectors will approve my design once they finally manage to escape.

The Golden Grotto

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

No... that's a different kind of house.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I should have said the golden patio

Base case when the smallest piece of wood can no longer be distinguished as a piece of furniture

The "No nesting" rule should apparently apply not only to model rail but also to log cabins.

So the quantized plank length?

Mandelbrot furniture set

Big oof

This would make a really cool art installation where you start at the top of a multistory building and keep walking through and turning right before going downstairs to the next room where you walk through and turn right before going downstairs to the next room... Etc etc.

If all the furniture got progressively smaller as the walls and ceilings progressively closed in, it would feel just like this picture.

Or you could leave everything the same size and it would still make for a surreal experience going down, through, right, down, through, right, etc until popping out into the street - at that last set of stairs you'd be certain the door in front of you would lead straight into the identical living room from every other floor. Seeing the street instead would be a real mindfuck.

If you exclude the progressively smaller furniture I think I've been to some IKEAs that felt like this.

[-] WeirdAlex03@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 years ago

That's been well-documented already

[-] GojuRyu@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I had a hope for that link and I was not disappointed

Reminds me of this music video by bonobo https://youtu.be/ebzEEEdjHj0?si=AkBjTe3O_wBPQCcH

[-] Wav_function@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That was wild thanks

[-] HardlyCrabbing@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Your post gave me the same vibes as House of Leaves did

[-] astrsk@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

I should reread House of Leaves.

[-] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I tried a digital copy but got lost less than a quarter of the way through, and I had no idea how much a physical copy cost, especially at a time when income was a huge issue for me. I'll probably give it another shot soon.

[-] astrsk@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

If you can, a physical copy will be much better. It’s one of the few books that doesn’t translate as week to e-reader/digital for [redacted] reasons.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

the basic version "normal book price" but if you have the cash and inclination look for a colo(u)r copy with all the bells and whistles

[-] dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

why not read House of Leaves: Ireland Edition then

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Is this how a TARDIS works?

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Chaos ensues...
