This belongs in r/pics, or some such. But not here, there's nothing WTF about this. It's awesome is all it is.

[–]Huyguy 8 points9 points ago

I think people forget that r/wtf has different rules about what constitutes "wtf". This wtf we are going for is that horrified or confused feeling as your brain tries to contemplate what it is seeing and fails. A waterside in a closet of a nice house is unorthodox, but ultimately acceptable.

If this waterside lead directly to a pool of coloured lube with glitter mixed in and a naked maniquin dressed like the cookie monster with a large purple dildo protruding from it was sitting in the corner of the room. That would be wtf. Please stop being ignorant to Reddit culture.

No, I understand it well. I agree with you that many of us do expect that "horrified or confused feeling" or something gory, socially unacceptable, ridiculous, etc. I accept all forms of WTF. The kind that make you go "What.the.fuck" or in the sense of something light hearted where you'd probably laugh, a "lol, what the fu?"

But to me, and at least 71 other people, this doesn't fall in with any of those categories. It's unorthodox, yes. But that's about it. If I saw this in a friends house, my first reaction would certainly not be "WTF". Though that's just me and obviously people will have different reactions, such as the OP. Overall, what does and doesn't belong in r/WTF is mostly opinion based anyway, and I am of the mind this is not it.

I think you misunderstood the point of Huyguy's post. He was agreeing with you, just expanding a bit...

[–]Scourch 0 points1 point ago

Ah, then yes I did misunderstand it. My fault, sorry.

[–]Bacon_Donut 6 points7 points ago

I don't know. If I walked into a friends house for the first time and they had a water slide from next to their bed I'd be like.... (but from a purists view, you are probably right)

[–]lasercow 0 points1 point ago

or from a first reaction perspective.

WTF != Awesome

[–]fivez1a 2 points3 points ago

WTF != Ouch! My humanity!

FTFY

Reminds me of the kids room in the movie Blank Check from the 90's

[–]Just_Ice_Cream 1 point2 points ago

90's

Fuck....

[–]doovecraig 0 points1 point ago

Exactly my first thought.

[–]flounder19 23 points24 points ago

I'm fairly certain this is photoshopped. How many bedrooms do you see with a floating arrow and bright pink text that says "Waterslide in closet!!!"?

[–]TotalRedditMove -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not to mention there has to be water at the top of the slide for anyone to slide down

[–]Rockran 3 points4 points ago

How do slides at parks work then?

Just because you put WTF in the title does not make it so and you fucking know it.

Still not even close to WTF.

Look at the expression on the WTF aliens face. Does that look like the face of a guy who's seen a cool water slide to you?

[–]the_clever_cuban 3 points4 points ago

Very cool but wrong subreddit.

What the fuck is this doing in WTF? More and more morons on reddit each day.

[–]civilian11214 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is not WTF. You know it, you are just trying to get karma you stupid karma whore.

[–]velvethammer44 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because karma is worth so much in the real world. Calm down.

[–]civilian11214 -2 points-1 points ago

Sorry, I didn't realize you were here to defend their honor. Hey look, everybody-we've got the white night of r/wtf here! Hey, guess what i tagged you as. And yes, life is about karma. How else do you suppose we get into heaven?

I have several conflicting RES tags for you right now...

don't forget to fill up the bathtub/pool before you slide down

I would tell one night stands that its a slide to the living room.

Oh god it's this again. This picture has been floating around since mid-2008, and being a regular of a pictures thread in a large forum (FP), I've seen this at least 200 times. It's become a bannable offense there.

[–]Dystopiated 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Everything is a bannable offense there. It's fucking Facepunch.

[–]LimEJET -1 points0 points ago

Unless you lack common sense, it's very hard to get banned there.

Must've changed since I moderated there, champ.

Not WTF: as it stands, 95% finished.

WTF: adding the sharks with lasers attached to their fricking heads.

Not so secret if you saw the pool first...

In order to keep the slide wet and "slideable", you would need to have a real loud obnoxious pump going....

Here's some WTF: Look at the mouth of the slide exit. It seems to be an open mouth. Upper teeth, tongue, weird.

The two bedside lamps in the top image look rather different to the ones that you can see at the top of the image below. The bottom image does look a little skewed, however.

[–]helly1223 0 points1 point ago

This is not even sort of wtf. And it's an old ass repost.

Dude's house is gonna get all wet from people running up stairs to use the slide

[–]itscoldinminnesota 0 points1 point ago

Drops expensive electronic, magically bounces right into and down the slide.

I've always dreamed of having this in my bedroom... Problem is I don't have a pool in my house.

[–]BurssburssburssSwag 0 points1 point ago

that way when you tell people you have a water slide in your house, they bring their kids who wreck the shit out of your room.
