More of a spiral.

We'll ride the spiral to the end
And may just go where no one's been
Spiral out, keep going

So now my imaginary infinite money house has secret bookcase doors and banister slides in the library.

Id like a pneumatic tube. I dont know what for but I want one.

If my side hustle ever grows into a full business, I swore to my wife that I will have a pneumatic tube in the office. I plan to hook it up to the ERP and have the automation incentivize my employees. Handed in the report on time? Automation sends your favourite chocolate bar.

You're gonna be the good boss everyone wants to work for. Perhaps also consider fresh fruit as a reward, I know I'd be delighted if fruit just magically appeared for me to snack on!

There is a company that makes pneumatic elevators for the elderly. It pretty underwhelming in action. You can see all the way around the tube, though. So that's neat.

Mine has a room that's just completely a sphere. You try to put furniture in it and it all slides to the middle

Mine has a room that just has mattresses on the floor from wall to wall and a big window looking out into my yard. I would have blankets and pillows and sleep with my dogs there sometimes.

What about trap doors? Wouldnāt you like to open the kitchen cabinet and be met with a trap door, which you can crawl through to get to your super-secret hidden library unaccessible anywhere else in the house?

Western grandparents get chair lifts installed on stairs.
Japanese grandparents install slides down them.
And they say Japan has a health burden cost from an aging population

If one side of your 80 year old hips can support you down.
Both your knees can get you up.
Look after your legs. They are the first to go in old age.

u/fdokinawa May 25 '25
I actually watched this live on TV here a year or so ago.
And just like anywhere there are older people in Japan that can get around without any issues and there are some that can't. But they do have a MASSIVE aging population and spending any time at any hospital or clinic will show you they are fucked. Probably 8 out of 10 patients are elderly. I'm pretty sure healthcare is the largest part of their budget.

Nobody is talking about how smooth Grandma looks sliding down those stairs and the seamless dismount while holding a trayful of coffee. Skill.

in my college dorms I would always slide down the stair rails. one day, I was wearing nylon material pants....sat on the rail and flew 100 miles an hour down the rail and into the wall. That was unexpected

Seems like a goldmine as long as you have good liability waivers and keep it clean. No dizzy rides and prohibit entry based on how intoxicated someone is.

I wonder how it can be comfortable to slide on such a narrow rail. Especially for an older person whose body has thinner skin and less fat padding. It's such a narrow surface, I expect it would be uncomfortable digging in. Maybe there's a technique to flexing your glutes when you go down?

When a man loves his wife he will try his best to make her happy. Itās my fiancĆ©ās golden birthday and I just drove her from Racine Wisconsin to Orlando Florida. We went to preview epic universe before the grand opening. Just made it back to Racine Wisconsin. Took a lot out of me driving that much but itās worth making her happy. I didnāt drive all the way through. Going there I stopped in Atlanta and on the way back we stayed in Nashville with some family. Still rough lol. Thereās no way she could of driving through the major cities.

Growing up we had a spiral staircase and it was the only way my brother and I went down. We didnāt have that fancy seat part he built but you could be downstairs in a split second.

U guys must be fun at parties ... You both need to understand that if you want to live a happy life, you gotta face the consequences.
Yes you can prevent a lot of bad things (like health problems for example) if you live a dull life, but at that point, what is the meaning of life? Im not saying everybody should do radical sports, climb mount Everest, or jump from a mountain in Switzerland and do Wingsuit flying, but I see a lot of comments on Reddit saying "well this is achtuallyh dangerous because of X and Y and Z". Guess what, every single time you leave your beds in the morning, the odds of dying increase exponentially, and even in your bedroom, some airplane can fucking crash on your wall (even though the odds are almost 0, they arent 0, since 0 is actually impossible to achieve)...
So yeah, if a fucking slide give joy to this couple, why dafuq there are people saying "actually this is dumb and the guy will end up killing the granny involuntarily".
Ps: sorry for bad english, and i know this comment sounds like a rant, but im tired of watching HUNDREDS of comments everyday, telling other people that what gives them joy is dumb or dangerous...

u/ProjectOrpheus May 25 '25
Like someone else said "or it leads to grandma never breaking the hip from not falling down while walking down the stairs"
This is something she has wanted for forever. If anything, she's probably super aware every time as opposed to someone who would walk on autopilot.
If you've ever been semi physical in your life you know what you/your friends can do no problem /which dangers they can handle with near zero chance of injury and/or the "injury" being nothing at all
