virgin "outdooor hotel" fan vs chad homelessness enjoyer
- Man, you gotta be a true chad in order to enjoy homelessness
Headline reads: Millennials ruining the wall industry
- What happens next will SHOCK you
  
  A lightning strike?
- Avocado walls.
Good luck in the rain!

Have we seriously forgotten how shelter works?
- Pfft, shelter? That's for poor people!
  
  houses? thats for homeless pe-
  
  wait, something feels wrong
- Not even rain.
  
  If you sleep outside you'll wake up wet and dewy and gross.
- Do you like pina coladas?
That's camping with all the shitty parts and a really nice cot.

Wind, rain, dust, falling shit, bugs, animals, etc. You can get a similar atmosphere by having a tent and opening the vent flaps. Or like, sleeping under a tarp to mitigate rain if you really want that outdoorsy feel. I knew a guy who slept in a hammock on nice nights but I fear the skeeters.
- That's camping with all the shitty parts and a really nice cot.
  
  That is indeed the joke.
- There are nice bug nets made specifically to fit around hammocks. You see the sky and not be eaten alive.
  
  Some hammocks even have the bug net built in creating a nice bugfree cocoon.
Did you know that the weather in the mountains can change rapidly and without warnings?
- Sorry, tarps and scaffolding is extra.
This would only be cool if you're somehow guaranteed zero people/predators or cameras in a large enough radius that you won't ever be seen or attacked by an animal. Fucking under the stars on a real bed sounds pretty cool. But there is a building in the background. I would be too paranoid that someone is watching with a telescope
- Forget zero people/predators, I need a guarantee for zero mosquitoes and flies
- I would be too paranoid that someone is watching with a telescope
  
  I'd just start beating off while staring straight at it with an expressionless face.
- You could have walls but no roof
  
  To make it even crazier, you could have a roof that is transparent and you could open. Tada you get as much outdoor as you want, without being soaked wet by the thunderstorm.
- Yes all those natural predators in Switzerland you need to watch out for.
  
  According to Google they have wolves and bears. What more do you want?
That was a joke Art installation AFAIK a decade back.
- Swiss here, no it isn't. Here's a (german) overview of a few "openair hotels": https://www.stilpalast.ch/travel/specials/schlafen-unter-freiem-himmel-7144
  
  So... you get room service? Like... how far do these workers stay from these rooms? Can they see you pee and take a dump? Where do you clean yourself? Do you get a refund if it rains? Is a simple hotel room somewhere nearby cheaper than this gourmet outdoor experience?
  
  So many questions....
  
  Life is slowly turning into a joke, and it's becoming less funny every time it's retold.
Hope the weather forecasts around there are very accurate.
Wild animals: It's free ~~real estate~~ dinner.
This hotel Switzerland
famous you sleep located
rooms with mountains
no walls,

also: is for which let in the in
- Advanced level “don’t dead, open inside”
Too many wind-blowable things in that "room".
- Exactly. This would only work in a dry summer.
There's a solid foundation for this idea but I still don't see it putting a roof over my head to be honest.
Sleeping outdoor without shelter > camping > glamping > glamping outdoor without shelter

Whew, we've come quite far.
Am I the only one that would actually really enjoy this?

Being outside in the mountains with fresh cool air, but you actually have a proper, comfy warm bed to enjoy as well?

Sign me the fuck up.
- Until it rains... or storms... or there is thunder or snails or dogs barking or whatever. Hell no "-"
  
  Or something poops on your face.
  
  I would have to imagine they have something in place for when it rains, thunder (without rain) would be awesome, you're in the mountains with few neighbours so wouldn't worry about dogs barking, and if you're worried about snails you could put some salt down I guess.
- You know, there's this thing called "camping", you should really look into it.
  
  "Proper, comfy warm bed"
  
  Sure let me just bring my whole-ass double bed and mattress with me when I go camping 🤡
- I would but only if the temperature is right. That picture looks like it drops below freezing tho.
- You can sleep under the stars when ever you want! I always check the weather first, and bring a tent just in case. You just throw down a tarp with a sleeping bag, and you roll the tarp up like a burrito, if there's unexpected LIGHT rain.
If you ever slept outside, you know how good it can be. Fresh air, cold winds. Only and only if nothing goes wrong.
- There was this bamboo treehouse that my wife and I slept in on a vacation. It was really nice and relaxing. We plan to go back soon.
- Fresh air, cold winds, and hypothermia.
- *If and only if
  
  Bzzzz zzzz bzzZzz mosquito party
I thought it was the onion, but I searched and found it... $340 a night.

Had to double check the date to make sure I wasn't in a 2 month long coma and that it wasn't April fools.
- Anything "glamping" or related is full of unhinged rates for stuff. Don't ask me why.
Someone has a fundamental misunderstanding about what a room is...
- Indeed
That doesn't seem unworkable. Just add a few walls and a roof and it would be a nice place to stay.
Wild predators are one thing but what about bats with rabies? You wouldn't even know you got bit until it's too late.
- I'd be more worried about the weather.
- Rabies has basically been eliminated in Switzerland so that won't be an issue.
Done that for free
You wouldn’t even get the bed for a million pounds in central London.
Do you check out when you get there and check in when you leave?
