Me: ugh, modern landmark architecture is just rich people showing off how much money they have.

@WhiteCatTamer People rent car wheel rims - that's a new one to me!
@CiaraNi @WhiteCatTamer @CStamp @daveybot I never knew either of them were rentable. And now I’m scared to think what else is rentable that I never knew.

@johncormier @CiaraNi @WhiteCatTamer @CStamp @daveybot Don't be scared, but one can rent a hot tub to have placed in one's back yard, filled, heated, self-maintained for anywhere from a few days to many weeks. We do it each winter Holiday season; it's glorious!

@ChristineMalec I could buy that more readily than car rims.

@johncormier @CiaraNi @WhiteCatTamer @daveybot@CStamp @ChristineMalec @johncormier @CiaraNi @daveybot Yeah, that sounds like a valuable service. XD Especially since you KNOW the people with the cash to buy a full fledged hottub will use them 12 days a year. Less waste…but maybe more biohazards…
There’s also the influencers renting sets designed to look like the interiors of private planes, and of course upscale kitchens, but that’s far less fun…

@ChristineMalec If you don't mind saying, how much does that cost?

@johncormier @WhiteCatTamer @CStamp @daveybot Interesting thought, interesting topic - 'things I never dreamt you could rent'. I am both scared and curious now.

@ChristineMalec I didn't know you could rent hot tubs! I can see that being great in a winter holiday season.
I wonder if that's country-specific. I've just done a quick DuckDuckGo and can't immediately see Hot Tub Rental in Denmark. On the other hand, I just learnt that you can rent a Hot Box sauna, which I never knew.

@WhiteCatTamer Great point about rental being the more sustainable option for many things. Less waste at all stages. And cheaper and handier for many people, if they only need something once or rarely. I live in a mixed-used city centre and we can rent tools, lifting trolleys and the like from the local hardware for anything from 2 hours to several months. A cheaper, more environmentally-friendly option.

"influencers renting sets designed to look like the interiors of private planes, and of course upscale kitchens"
I'm learning so many new things! That is rather sad, really. Kind of pathetic. Almost making me experience influencer empathy.

@CiaraNi No empathy from me, and I still call them content creators.

@WhiteCatTamer @ChristineMalec @johncormier @daveybot@CStamp The emphasis was on the 'almost'
And good point about not using the term 'influencer'. I hadn't thought about that, using the term on their terms, so to speak. I shall remember that. -
