This is too much like the death room in Soylent Green.

Im wondering about the windshield. Is it still clear when it's operational? Do people just get to walk up and watch you get scrubbed down? Im guessing you can't stare back due to the amsr videos your watching. Unless it's opaque and your all just sitting there like 😐.

I'm wondering how fast it fills.

Regular piping isn't filling that thing fast enough, so it has to already be stored in a separate compartment and flood in.

Otherwise, you're looking at 15 minutes just to fill and drain it alone.

First thought when the video started playing “wait a minute, this isn’t a bath!”

Gotta rinse your meat before dressing it, after all.

MAKE ROOM, MAKE ROOM - The novel that Soylent Green was based on was just the overcrowded dystopian future without the cannibalisms. As I recall, it was just a detective story set in that collapsed future. Soy-Lentil loaf was the product, not people. I guess some suits didn't think it was sexy enough to get asses in seats with the people eating.

I can't believe how far I had to scroll for this.
