The blinds need to be IN the shower, not outside of the shower.
I choose innovation.

Also turned the other direction it would actually work.

No, only the lining needs to be inside

I wonder how much air would just swirl around in that shower lol

ITT, people who didn’t see the shower rod, ready for a separate shower liner. This is clearly a post-installation photo from a proud inventor; the shower liner will come.

Doesn’t look like a new bathroom to me at all. Even if you’re right, and the proud installer didn’t remove the existing shower curtain out of stupidity, what’s the point, though?
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They want the blinds to deal with the privacy aspect, but they’ll still install a liner for the water aspect. They just thought blinds instead of a traditional curtain (but not to replace the liner, which is often separate from the shower curtain) was cool or funny.

Eventually the mold may form a better seal along the blades when closed.

They’re hung in the wrong orientation to prevent spray from the shower head from slipping through gaps and you need to tuck the ends inside the tub.
In summary: reinstall them backwards a few inches closer to the wall.

Install horizontal blinds angled so the water runs back into the tub.
piecat@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And while we’re at it, why not connect the blinds at the seams? Then no water leaks out.
And honestly you could make them out of a softer plastic so it’s easier to open and close… something like sheet PVC would be perfect.

Ridiculous diwhy fix and literal shitpost. What’s not to laugh at?

Like I actually laughed out lout and almost shot water out of my nose.

I hope there’s a light in the shower since blinds are opaque while shower curtains are not.

These kind of blinds are just the worse.
portuga@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You misspelled best
shasta@lemm.ee 10 months ago
The only problem I can see is that the rail and gears for the blinds that mounts to the ceiling usually has metal parts which will rust from steam and eventually make it difficult to open and close the blinds. You may be able to coat it in water resistant paint to overcome this.
BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s the only problem? What about how the blinds are outside of the tub, directing all the water directly to the floor?
shasta@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Not a problem because they are clearly going to install a separate shower liner on the rod that is hanging there. How many of you really only use a liner with no curtain? These blinds are a curtain replacement, not a liner replacement.

is this supposed to be some kink or somthing? like playing out voyeurism?
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 10 months ago
No just a funny.
Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Gotta change the gear ratio on the twisty stick, so you can open and close much faster.
GiddyGap@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Switch to pull string.
Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 10 months ago
OK, but if you closed the blinds the other way, and the bottom was inside the tub, I think this would actually work. At least as well as woven shower curtains do.
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I can’t help but feel like you’d be a terrible roommate but also fun to live with
Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I think my wife would call it a mixed bag. On one hand, the house has never been this fireproof, on the other, she’s never had to deal with so much fire.
Former roommates have attested that the food definitely weighs in my favor.
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They’re meant to hang outside of the tub with a clear liner hanging inside, the same way you’d use a cloth shower curtain.
SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 10 months ago
It could be some nice ASMR while showering. Like steam powered wind chimes made of plastic lol. Click…clack, click, click…clack…clack

But if you closed the blinds
Does it almost seem like this would really work
A_Wild_Alt_Appears@lemmynsfw.com 10 months ago
I’m sure many a bottom would enjoy an openable shower curtain. Maybe not as much as tops would, but still, it’s a cute idea
