Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

[–]brock_lee 32 points33 points ago

Heh, now I know I'm old. My first thought is "wow, wouldn't want to have to clean that."

[–]DrunkRawk 2 points3 points ago

Ha, me too!

[–]free_to_try 0 points1 point ago

Same.

Not sure if I'm lazy or sensible.

[–]System777 47 points48 points ago

Wouldn't exactly call it AMAZING.

[–]IAmtheHullabaloo 40 points41 points ago

I think OP misspelled 'ANNOYING'.

As in, crack shin on pedal annoying, as in kick front wheel annoying, as in, who put a fucking bicycle in the bathroom annoying.

[–]BONER_PAROLE 7 points8 points ago

My first thought was how I would have taken off the pedal and locked the headset.

[–]oddmanout 1 point2 points ago

or "where do I put my stuff" annoying. Seriously? Where do the back-up rolls of TP and extra towels go? It looks cool until you start stuffing rolls of toilet paper into the spokes because you have no where else to store them.

[–]jamie1414 3 points4 points ago

Or recycling.

[–]The_Wise_Guy 0 points1 point ago

Wheel cool !

[–]oddmanout 1 point2 points ago

recycling!

[–]BONER_PAROLE 0 points1 point ago

Welcome to reddit.

[–]TrippyVersion 0 points1 point ago

And unless this is an art exhibit, it wastes a lot of space and people will running their feet into it.

[–]WhiteZero 23 points24 points ago

Alternate Title:

Bathroom counter with an old bike under it!

[–]JestMonkey 7 points8 points ago

The bicycle serves no purpose!

[–]Musekal 10 points11 points ago

Great. So it was a useful bike was turned into an ugly and awkward support structure for a counter.

This is not a good example of recycling.

EDIT: Forgot a word

[–]kungffffuuuuu 18 points19 points ago

How about... fix the fucking bike?

[–]spouq 4 points5 points ago

well mechanically speaking, it is "fixed"

[–]Stardash 0 points1 point ago

It actually looks like it would have worked perfectly as a bike if some idiot hadn't stuck a damn sink on it.

[–]rprebel 8 points9 points ago

I hate everything about this. The more I look at it, the more I want to punch the fuckwit that came up with it. Hopefully, whoever thought this was a good idea is spending all their time in their far-too-cool-for-me-to-comprehend bathroom, fapping to their own awesomeness instead of going out in the world and making it worse for the rest of us.

God damn...it's just awful.

[–]dragon0196 1 point2 points ago

I laughed when reading this, thinking you were going a bit overboard. Then I looked at the picture again. It's just awful. Like the dumbest shit ever awful.

[–]MrDorkESQ 0 points1 point ago

Have you looked at the rest of Benjamin Bullins' art? I really think that he just bolts useful crap together to make less useful crap. Look at the fan bolted to the ceiling in this picture. It doesn't look like it is wired up so it no longer circulates air, it blocks the light, and you would have to dust it.

so yeah, just awful.

[–]rprebel 1 point2 points ago

As art, it's interesting. The problem is that this is supposed to be a functional bathroom, unless I'm mistaken. It's functional in that the drain lines are hooked up, but that's where it ends. Same goes for the picture you just shared. Thanks for that, btw. He is pretty good. Anyway, can you imagine trying to actually use that room for anything?

If all this is just art, then never mind.

[–]MrDorkESQ 0 points1 point ago

You are correct, it is supposed to be a functional bathroom and the other room I posted is supposed to be functional interior design as well.

[–]ZanMet 7 points8 points ago

Lame.

[–]andrewsmith1986 21 points22 points ago

Looks ridiculous.

[–]domyates 13 points14 points ago

Fucking Pinterest is leaking.

[–]regreddited 12 points13 points ago

hipster bathroom.

[–]Fuckin_Hipster 0 points1 point ago

Nah, fuck that.

[–]fafaforza 6 points7 points ago

Not pictured: a separate cupboard to house toiletries and medicine.

Materials saved: none.

[–]downr0deo 2 points3 points ago

dusting that would be a pain

[–]StinkyTuna26 4 points5 points ago

I was thinking you'd bump your shins into the pedals and the wheel sticking out. Then I thought, "How the fuck would you go about cleaning/dusting that thing?" I'm all for reusing things, just that this would be a pain...

[–]hatedatbirth 5 points6 points ago

I'd definitely take an upper decker in that pompous ass bathroom.

[–]Lucktar 2 points3 points ago

Wonder if they have to periodically inflate the tires.

[–]ZombieKingKong 0 points1 point ago

I wouldn't mind cleaning it, but yes, the tires...

[–]Mechanixm 2 points3 points ago

How many times would it take, banging your shin on that fucking pedal, before you ripped that damn thing out of the wall and threw it in a dumpster? Just curious...

[–]AdmiralMaggie 2 points3 points ago

Single-speed, I assume?

[–]paggot 1 point2 points ago

White people.

[–]aviking_ 2 points3 points ago

Looks cool but that pedal looks like a major shin buster...big time.

[–]holysocks 1 point2 points ago

or, put a bike under the sink

[–]loner_v 0 points1 point ago

Do people think about how they're going to clean things before they come up with crazy ideas?

[–]sprint113 0 points1 point ago

Must really suck for the plumber who needs to access the drain pipe.

[–]batmansthebomb 0 points1 point ago

I don't understand why this is recycled. It's kinda a waste of a bike.

[–]smellthyscrote 0 points1 point ago

Over the years, I think people have forgotten what the word, "amazing" actually means.

[–]jw2x 0 points1 point ago

OMG hipster paradise!

[–]WINZOW 0 points1 point ago

How did you not name this recycle and bicycle?

[–]SaShayLaLu 0 points1 point ago

oh lord, imagine trying to clean that. You know the sheer amount of dust and grime that builds up in your bathroom? Just trying to clean the freakin' trim around the room is disgusting, I can't imagine what that bike will look like after a years worth of trimmed hair, toothbrush splatters, and dribbled hand soap builds up on it.

[–]DarynLaine 0 points1 point ago

I'm sorry you had to find out this way, but... this isn't Pinterest.

[–]IhateToronto 0 points1 point ago

Wicked awesome..... until you scrape your shin on the pedal and chain :(

[–]Kiwi150 0 points1 point ago

Not amazing, a bitch to clean, looks like shit and I would rather have a new bike and a normal counter.

[–]fleckstin -1 points0 points ago

Its awesome until it rolls away

[–]greggersraymer 0 points1 point ago

I guess I'll go ahead and be the first brave one in this thread to say it: bad idea.

[–]justinsayin 0 points1 point ago

The plumber and the maid are both pissed at this.

[–]Bikenutt 1 point2 points ago

What about the bike mechanic?

[–]woofer212 0 points1 point ago

so you took something usefull and made it useless. very nice

[–]Stardash 0 points1 point ago

I hope someone stomps on the pedal a few times. It would be fun to see someone biking around on a sink.

[–]nichlas482109 0 points1 point ago

OH MY GOD AMAZING WOW SO GOOD

[–]anotherdroid 0 points1 point ago

i came here to say something like "no.". now i see that every one has already done so. welp... you tried ;)

[–]realkanadian 0 points1 point ago

Probably only $15k.

[–]BitchinInTheKitchen 0 points1 point ago

My cousin Nick made this

[–]adamonline45 0 points1 point ago

I don't like this...

[–]readforit 0 points1 point ago

Amazing until you shtup your chin on the pedal ..

[–]funkdenomotron 0 points1 point ago

This is so French.

[–]Retrorat 0 points1 point ago

I could see myself cracking my knee or shin on that pedal in a morning malaise.

Looks good, do not want.

[–]llcbdavis 0 points1 point ago

way cool.

[–]OceanFace 0 points1 point ago

Is that pedal and chain seriously still on?

"Ahh shit! I just smashed my fuckin shin against this pedal for the third time this week!"

[–]sugnosaj 0 points1 point ago

I think it's just a tiny apartment, so that's where he has to keep his bike.

[–]brossef 0 points1 point ago

More like a counter on top of a bike, recycled would mean it was broken down and used to create something else.

[–]Brashdoodle 0 points1 point ago

This picture smells like See's Candies.

[–]mirpanda 0 points1 point ago

I sure would love to dust every little crevice on a weekly basis!

[–]iamoldmilkjug 0 points1 point ago

Recycled Ruined bike

[–]simjanes2k 0 points1 point ago

Okay, Reddit. You're getting a little bit too Hipster Liberal Douche for my taste, now.

[–]GoddardMike -2 points-1 points ago

Cool idea

[–]Thunderouswarrior -2 points-1 points ago

It'd be awesome if you had to pedal the bike to make water come out the faucet

[–]jamie_byron_dean 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, "awesome"

[–]Thunderouswarrior 0 points1 point ago

yes. awesome.

Dear QualityEnforcer bot,

I understand what you are trying to do, and I know you are really trying to do a good job, but larger size is not higher resolution.

Sincerely, MrD.

PS. This is the work of the artist Benjamin Bullins. The mirror frame is made of a trombone case.

Here is an actual hi-res (2400x1886) view of the sink
