Not sure where this particular house is located but in places like Spain and South America it's pretty common for houses to have tiled floors all over.

The first thing that comes to mind is Brock Turner. He raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster. To you does that fall under "violent rape" or "having sex with someone too drunk to consent"? In my view it's both. The violence is inherent in the act of being violated. People need to err on the side of consent or accept the risk of being called a rapist.

I know there's a recent similar-sounding post but I think this is a different issue.

Someone with a racist username DM'd me very graphic porn and insults. Obvious troll is obvious yet I can't find a report button on DMs or the user's profile. Please help.

You're really living up to your username by bringing joy to those around you. I love your cats.

Back when I was a teen, my folks would go away for a month and a half every summer and leave us kids behind (we were teenagers and didn't want to go) and obviously we would throw parties. One year I had cleaned the house really well and thought there was no way they would know. My dad came home and that's how I learned he keeps two cold beers in the fridge for when he gets home. And they were gone.
He wasn't mad we threw parties, he wasn't mad we were underage drinking, but he was mad his two cold getting-home beers had been drank and not replaced. And that's how I found out my parents are humans who knew we were having parties and they didn't care as long as we didn't die or mess with their shit.

Not a tl;dr, just my favourite bits:

Organizers believed that the fear induced by the event would help increase fundraising objectives.

The campaign was publicized in local newspapers for a few days before the event, although the "invasion" took many citizens by surprise.

Dressing stations were set up at strategic points to treat the mock casualties; they also treated the two real casualties of the event โ€“ a soldier who sprained his ankle, and a woman who cut her thumb preparing toast during the early-morning blackout.

The city was renamed "Himmlerstadt", and Main Street was termed "Hitlerstrasse".

At one local elementary school, the principal was arrested and replaced with a 'Nazi' educator dedicated to teaching the "Nazi Truth"; special lessons were prepared for high-school students throughout the city.

If Day was successful enough to spark imitations in other communities. The US government contacted the organizing committee for details of the event. A smaller-scale invasion was staged in Vancouver, using promotional materials from the Winnipeg campaign.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say perhaps it's a deep freezer that is only opened occasionally, and I guess is pretty well sealed as long as it's closed.
The kitchen appears to have one of those built-in fridges that matches the cabinets:

Probably pondering about the meaning of life.

Torches of Freedom

In the 1920s a bunch of tobacco salesmen decided that they could make women associate cigarettes with the women's rights movement. Smoking was previously seen as "unladylike", but thanks to a handful of well-placed marketing campaigns, they were able to get women smoking almost overnight. What an accomplishment!

Personally, I'm of the opinion that marketing/advertising is one of the most insidious problems society has.

Absolutely. I was playing Cities: Skylines.

I would spend that year driving around in my doughnut truck, working at Dino Oil or Healthy Weeds, enjoy my weekends at the parking lot or the bouncy castle, and run to high ground during the next tsunami.

After winning the cash I'd ask to be transported to the Ark universe, and then I'd spend the rest of my life in a glass mansion, training armies of dinosaurs to do my bidding.
JK, I'd probably spend the rest of my very short life running naked from a dilophosaur while screaming. Still more fun than reality.
