Tell me you're a Scouser without telling me you're a Scouser.
I'm not a Scouser and I hate the Sun.
The night time is the right time.
I prefer too many plugs over too few
It's far simpler to deactivate and drywall over a receptacle than to add a new one in. A moderately handy person can do it themselves.
In most places it's not code, or a great idea, to bury splices in the walls.
Having grown up in the 1980s and 1990s house in a 1920s house that got renovated in the 70s, not enough outlets is a big fucking problem unless you want power strips everywhere. And it's especially fun when you discover that your power strip for the one outlet in the room doesn't even have enough outlets, meaning you have to get another power strip and chain it to that power strip.
By the time my mother sold that house in the 2010s, there were a couple of rooms that had like a three-chain-long power strip going into a single outlet.
It's perfect
I'm an electrician, I'd happily live there.
Gotta wonder how many circuits are in each room if they all look like that though... panel must be loooooooong

A very optimistic one, it seems. Because I'm willing to bet good on money on you not wanting to live there when you find out.
Or its like my house where my basement has a plug every 16" along the wall and the entire basement is on one 15 amp breaker.
Ah, I see the guy that wired your house also wired my apartment. Kitchen, living room, and bedroom all on 1 breaker with our tiny ass bathroom getting an entire breaker to itself. Who knows what the other 4 breakers are wired to, because every useful plug in the apartment is on one breaker.
You wanna check you don't have secret people living in your attic...
Or mine is the opposite … a previous owner installed fluorescent shop lights in my unfinished basement, and they’re spread across three separate breakers
Not sure England's code would even allow it, but maybe there are multiple circuits tied to a few plugs each, and each room shares the circuits in the same config. This I know would be a huge pain to wire, especially when it seems some may be added after the plaster.
Given general lack of technical knowledge and hyperbolic reporting, I wonder if a lot of these are network and phone, even video or audio. That would support the call center idea. It still seems excessive, but makes more sense
As long as everything is wired properly, and there's not too much going on on any individual circuit, that's an awesome setup for so many things. Imagine you're a streamer/YTer, OF girl, maybe musician with a big recording setup, etc. How nice is it to not need a shit ton of extension cords, power strips, splitters, etc, to plug in all of your camera chargers, lights, audio devices, other assorted devices required for such a setup. Even though I didn't film/stream when I was painting/crafting, I still needed so many power strips to plug in my lights, airbrush compressor, paint booth fans and lights, Dremel and other tool chargers, laptop, 3d printer and wash station, mini fridge, and other assorted items. I only have 2 outlets. So yeah.
Theater room, maybe? The receptacles on the ceiling and along the side walls could be for speakers. A Dolby Atmos setup has speakers on every wall, the floor, and the ceiling.
Assuming that is a mixture of power, media, and data outlets, this would be heaven for me.
Maybe it was a Bitcoin operation going on. I can’t think of why else so many plugs would be needed.
Grow lamps?
For stuff like servers or mining rigs, it would probably be more efficient to have a few high amp outlets feeding power strips in racks.
Maybe they were just sick of the socket always being a tiny bit too far away to charge their phone while using it and went all in.
Yes. The layout of the lighting indicates that the room was used for some project rather than a regular living room.
Maybe they had a lot of fish tanks. Each tank takes at least 3 sockets. With water involved, it's also makes sense to have wall sockets instead of using extension cords on the floor.
Sound or streaming studio?
Funny, the Sun makes me feel ill too.
I also have a horrifying amount of plugs in me
5?
I'm thinking 10...
I'm trying to imagine this, and... it is very horrifying
But I think there can be more!
plugs for the nipples, nose, and belly button, for a total of 10 plugs! plus however many plugs you can hold with your hands and feet.
Looks like the wall of plugs you'd see in a hospital room. Maybe this room was setup like this for someone with a medical condition that required a hospital bed and several machines that needed to be plugged in?
I think I read somewhere else this home was basically being used as a business and was full of PC's and desks and phones and such. Maybe like a call centre.
I had an architecture professor who studied design for aging in place, and this sort of thing was one of the things he advocated for. Aging and death are a part of life, and designing a room in the house to be able to support hospice care for a family member is a way to make a difficult experience more humane.
Grow room.
Or potentially a server (likely crypto) room
It's easier to get rid of them than to make them where they're needed, you know.
Porn studio?
No, robot family from before the invention of batteries
Or that.
We escaping the Matrix woth this one.
Finally, a home with enough plugs for all my stuff.
I wish the picture was higher resolution: yeah there are way too many outlets, but there are several different shapes. I’m not familiar with what UK outlets look like, but could some of these be network and phone?
I’m especially curious about round outlets. The ones in the ceiling are obviously recessed lighting, but what about the ones in the walls at knee height?
Knowing the perils of wireless energy transfer, I’m glad this didn't go through. Imagine having 2000 W ready to be delivered from anywhere in the walls to a nearby hairdryer, or the metal springs in an unfortunately-placed old-fashioned armchair.
Well, you're just too realistic for that vision of the future. I rather meant the stark difference between "here's the bleeding edge stuff we will have in 30 years time in our homes" and the fact that almost no-one can afford it.
Realistically speaking, we do have a lot of futuristic stuff in our homes by 1989 standards, I think
Great video, thanks. Now I want my glass table to show video. I wonder why that never happened: it wouldn’t have to be high resolution, or vivid colors so surely it’s not that expensive
Sure, there’s a lot of plug sockets there, but I don’t see a single plug in that image
FTFY
FTFY
You would have to come to my house to see a horrifying(but impressive and... Expensive) number of plugs
Hello.
Fuck The Sun.
Goodbye.
Your dick would burn off
He just needs to fuck it at night
Hello.
Nice comment.
Goodbye.

reminds me of a deleted drawing by GreenTeaNeko. Catgirl got dildo plugs in ear, ear, mouth, butt, and pussy.

If that house is "gorgeous" then the "journalist" needs to work on either their vocabulary, or their perceptiveness.
