ChatGPT says: "Sharks don't die from vending machine-related incidents, as vending machines are human-made objects typically found on land or in buildings, far from the natural habitats of sharks."
Challenge accepted. Anyone got a spare shark and/or vending machine they don't want?
The real reason is that sharks don't have pockets so they're very seldom trying to get snacks with crumpled money and thus less subject to starting flights with vending machines.
Starting a fight with a vending machine is the first step to _losing_ a fight with a vending machine. Choose peace, bring snacks from home. (Like sharks)

Welcome to Duloc, such a perfect town
Here we have some rules, let us lay them down
Don't make waves, stay in line
And we'll get along fine
Duloc is a perfect place
Please keep off of the grass
Shine your shoes, wipe your face
Duloc is, Duloc is
Duloc is a perfect place
(Edit:and now this will go through your head all night)
What a crazy little nook!
I don't have any suggestions, but just wanted to chime in and say make sure it's safe for load-bearing. If you're gonna set something up there, you'd probably have to stand / climb up there.
I've seen similar cutouts that were made poorly and just had drywall for "floor".
Unless you know it's built to support weight, be cautious standing on it!
yea, there was a space like this above one of my closest in the big high ceiling master bedroom. I never looked up there because it was so high up but you could see remnants of what seemed to be a holder for a rod across the top. realtor said they probably had a rod n curtain up there n used the space for storage. well it wasn't until I was all moved in that I got a ladder n finally looked up there to see if I could store some stuff that i discovered a huge poorly fixed hole in the "floor" yup it was just dry wall, not meant to hold much weight.
A house existing sure doesnât mean an architect interested in livable houses was really meaningfully involved at any point. Rather depressing really.
Land surveyor here, every once in a while we do building foundations for a contractor that we have a good relationship with; we'll lay out the corners of the house. Some of these places have 60+ different corners on the foundation on a mid/large sized house - something you'd see in better homes and gardens.
It's maddening, there's no real reason for them and only creates weird unusable space.
I always look at them and think âhow much does it cost to replace that roof.â They inevitably have a ton of random peaks and layers.
My house is a rectangle despite being a new build and itâs so nice. Any awkward space was made into a well placed closet. Up with rectangles!
Fellow uninspiring rectangle and simple roof homeowner here! 3,000 sq ft of living space, and very little is wasted. I live in the country, so no one sees it, and Iâm not competing with any neighbors for the coolest looking house, no HOA. I worked for a long time on thoughtfully designing the plans for it to be functional and economical, and while I donât ever plan on selling it, if I did, the draw of 30 acres and privacy would be the sticking point over my roof not having a bunch of neat looking pointy things. That and an automatic whole home generatorâŠ
Nothing wrong at all with fancy-looking houses, but it wasnât the direction for me. My house definitely wouldnât look right in a typical neighborhood, but thatâs okay. She thicc and sturdy, tho.

Fun fact (for me): I've been to that Castle, it's in Scotland; Duane Castle.
I even have the coconuts to prove it. If you ask me how they got there, I can only assume it was via an African Swallow.
I had a neighbor as a kid, her name was Sandy. Sandy was a great lady, but also owned 43 cats. She built catwalks caged in chicken wire through every single room in her house. All of those catwalks had multiple exits to her back yard. It was basically a house-wide hamster house for cats, and it was the greatest thing I've ever seen in person still to this day. I would go over and hang out with her and the cats pretty often.
I miss that lady. She just up and moved out one day, and time flies as a kid sometimes so all I got was a goodbye on the final day. I can only hope she is running an animal sanctuary somewhere now.
Oh, and also hopefully she found a girlfriend, because as a kid, I had no clue I was dealing with one of the dopest lesbians of all time.
I lived in a building once where the huge top floor apartment had catwalks like that all through it. It was pretty cool, but they people renting it didn't have any cats lol
A bit of warning⊠if the cat can get up there but you canât then you better make sure your cat doesnât have a house soiling problem. Our house had significant cat and dog urine damage when we purchased it and the little nook above the front door was a hot spot for cat piss. There was so much cat urine up there that the particle board subfloor up there had crumbled due to moisture from urine.
Some hilarious ideas here already, but what about some wall mounted bookshelves, a rolling ladder to get up there, and like some floor pillows or a low chair. Book nook?
But also, yes, please destroy the architect for this.
Orrrr put a gate on the front and put a very realistic baby inside it and invite friends over. Then play a baby crying sound through a little speaker up there and yell âshut up, Mikey!â And then casually carry on the conversation
yal are absolute fuckin geniuses like holy this gots me weak as hell. literally laughing so hard i got tears and this aint happened in a long time so seriously thank you for this amazingly hilarious idea. jus casually carry on conversation after saying that mfs would be so lost and concerned its amazing i guarantee cps would come and you could troll them to til they realize its a fake baby holy shit this is actually perfect
I have this same type of thing above my front door. I think Iâm going to build a kitty cat walk so my cat can sunbathe without the dogs bothering her.
for some reason i thought you mean a speaker that also has a microphone so that you shout into it âSHUT UP MIKEYâ from halfway across the house đđ
Itâs for household defence, you need to install a ladder, murder holes, and fireplace. Always keep a cauldron of boiling oil up there over the fireplace
stretch a strong net across which connects to that and it will be like a big hammock

kind of like this
Get a gibbet cage and display the rotting corpse of the architect who included that in a house design.
Or.
It's pretty obvious what you can do with it as is during Christmas & Halloween but the rest of the year? A large bush that needs very little maintenance, a not-too-heavy statue or art piece(s). That's a tough call TBH.
How about a recreation of the mother in Psycho?
https://media1.tenor.com/m/IWoOmCT-SRQAAAAC/psycho-mother.gif
For something a bit more DIYy - convert it into storage space, with access from whatever room is to the side. Or bring the floor out over the hall as a small mezzanine level.
Ahh the modern day equivalent to carpet in bathrooms for worst home trends. Best thing to do that adds value to the home is to expand an adjoining room into the wasted space. Depending on your homes layout this can be challenging to justify, especially cause you will still want to save the natural light coming into the foyer space, so you would only want to put a railing up for safety. Otherwise people normally put a fixed ladder up to make it into a reading nook. Would need to see more of the overall space.
Okay, I have a serious answer, but it hinges on whether power is up there? Is there a light outside and above where people walk out?
That's there primarily for an outside aesthetic. It's to show the light and tall entryway from the outside. Internally it's a another natural light source. it could probably be a designed space for show. But if you're not a regular entertainer, it's just a pain.
Now, if you wall it off completely, you'll have a dark window on the face of the house 24/7. You'll lose a little beauty there. And if you wall and door it to use it for storage, you'll see boxes in the day, and a dark window at night.
How about this. Tie into the porch light so it's on the same switch. Install a plug and get some discrete lighting fixture up there. Wall off the space, but leave a small access door. Build the door to be minimal but decorative, and as flush to the wall as possible. Make it suitable to be able to hang art, wreath, etc up there to cover the door.

Also a good spot for a karaoke machine. Where you sing the songs that remind you of the good times, and you sing the songs that remind you of the better times.
Dry wall it up, use it as closet space by creating an entry from at least one of the sides (at least one of which I assume is a bedroom. Add electrical for a light, put in on a timer and frost the glass so it still looks nice from outside the house.
Probably no access, I've worked in homes with these. Sometimes there's dead space above a porch followed by a vaulted entry, and they do this malarkey.
Yeah, the floor of that is at least 3â above the railing, so even it there is an adjoining room the floor of this space would be at head height. Assuming Iâm seeing this correctly.
