Who lives in something like this other than royalty? I honestly don’t understand the point of it….you’d never see 90% of it.

If money weren’t an issue, I could understand it. You could invite friends and/or family to come over and stay as long as they’d like. If you wanted some time to yourself, they wouldn’t even have to leave, they could just stay in one of the guest-houses for a while.

You could have any kind of special hobby room you wanted. Martial arts dojo? Sure. Home theater? Sure. Laser tag room? Sure. Dance studio? Why not? Kitchen with every kind of tool, multiple ovens, multiple stoves? Of course! Workshop? Why not. Cozy knitting room with every kind of yarn imaginable? Great!

Some kind of good cause you wanted to support? Give them an entire wing of the place. Feel bad for a marginalized group like refugees? Hand over one of the many buildings for their use.

Overall, the world would probably be a better place if no person / family had this much wealth. But, that doesn’t mean that I’d hate to have a place like that if I happened to be insanely wealthy.

PrincessLeiasCat ,

Great answer, thanks! A lot of things I hadn’t thought about. Maybe we should all go in with this guy, lol

(Yes I know it’s satire)

Pretty obvious this was satire.

What an idiot.

No HR has given me a job based on my character or my personality, ever.

A friend who is an airline pilot once told me one of the stewardesses made hamburgers on the hotel room iron, to safe money. They actually get an allowance to eat at the location, still she did that. So stingy.

Uncle_Bagel ,

They get paid a set amount every day for food, regardless of what they get. If you are getting a flat rate $50 per diem for food, it makes financial sense to eat cheap and pocket thr difference.

There’s eating cheap and then there’s making hamburgers using an iron in a hotel room cheap

And then I wonder why the hotel room iron is all kinds of fucked up.

An allowance sounds more like something added to their paycheck, rather than something they expensed. If that was the case, and they got to take home the allowance… well, heck. Ten bucks is ten bucks.

It’s a satire and stuff, but if I’d ever be in this kind of a situation, I’d order something to their table just to confuse everyone. Imagine doing it and looking them in the eyes when staff brings meals or a bottle. You’d better look for where the back exit in this place is.

It’s excellent satire

Today.com - Man posts about cooking chicken in a hotel’s coffee pot — and the internet exploded

smackjack ,

Now I’m curious. Would this actually work? Just how hot does that heating plate get?

hansl ,

It boils stuff so at least 212*F. You’d need a lot of time to cook it.

You could boil it I guess. Boiled chicken isn’t TOO bad.

IHaveTwoCows ,

The warmer plate does not boil things

hansl ,

Oh I thought it was like a kettle he was using.

smackjack ,

I could see a fancy outdoorsy type of coffee maker being able to boil water. Collect your water from the river, boil it, and make some coffee.

ech ,

Looks like it hits at least ~170^o^F, so you could slow cook tiny meals in it.

middleman35 ,

I mean, you can cook a chicken by slapping it…

Raiderkev ,

It reminded me of this vid my buddy posted in discord the other day. 🤢

Here’s the problem: a coffee pot gets hotter when there’s water going through it.

The same heating element that warms the bottom of the carafe also heats a small section of tubing meant to boil water. This, along with a simple check valve, forms a bubble pump, which is how the hot water gets up to the coffee grounds.

There’s a thermal switch that allows full power when that coil of water is below a certain temperature, and when it gets hotter than that, it switches to a lower power mode, because with no water to boil, all it needs to do is keep the carafe warm. I don’t have the numbers in front of me but I doubt it would get hot enough to properly cook chicken.

filcuk ,

Chicken soup it is

captain_aggravated ,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

Actually I think that would work.

Bombyk0l ,

It does, there are multiple people on youtube that have effectively cooked soup in their coffee machines and used other appliances for food like the dishwasher for example.

Guys, this is satire. And old, the guy posted it for comedy some time ago. Not seeing anyone calling this out, so just FYI. No need to get angry over this.

DoYouNot , in Kind of cringe?

I don’t think the first one is all that bad, but it does have a tinge of toxic-positivity.

MadSurgeon ,

It’s the “unstoppable” bit. Bitch, please stop me if I’m about to do something stupid.

Chetzemoka ,

Yeah, working on yourself makes you resilient, but it definitely doesn’t make you unstoppable. Like Picard said, “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.”

I’d fire him for being mentally unbalanced, with this post as my hard proof.

    Nobody will remember them saving a few bucks. What they will remember are the sick days when this moron isn’t in the office.

    When the company gets billed for replacing the coffee maker every time you stay at a hotel they will do something other than promote.

    PR3CiSiON ,

    Super double promote?

    Klear ,

    Exactly.

    Dude, your company does not care in you in the slightest. ALWAYS take corporations and the government for every cent you can legally claw out of them. Because they will screw you over as hard as they can the second they feel like they can make more money and get away with it.

    I never ate as much sushi as I did while travelling. Expenses are there so you can focus on doing the work.
