An actual manhole cover, this is either going to transcend shitpost or literally define it.
Nobody in their right mind would put that inside, so was either built by someone not in the right mind or an extension that just paved right over it.
Manhole covers are used for structural rigidity and tamper prevention.
First (and most hopeful) thing that would come to mind is a rainwater sewer.
No idea of country of origin, it could be someone’s idea of a protective measure for a boundary trap If the sewer main runs directly under the property which would be a bit unusual.
If it is a shaft to a regular sewer, I think you’d smell that.
Rent’s going to go crazy if it turns out to be a parallel dimension attached to a mansion or something.
Of course, sir, I love to have my taps split into warm and cold and having my shower head bolted to the wall at a height no man could possibly be comfortable with.
IIRC this was a reddit post, but without the Snapchat text. I do have a vague memory of the OP being from Britain and that they came to the conclusion that it was some sort of sediment tank.
Elevating the most realistic comment from the linked thread:
This is quite common for extensions in the UK at least. If there is a man hole you can often get permission to build over it but you would need to be able to provide access should it be needed. In the 15 years of living in a houses with one under our kitchen no one has ever needed access. These is one just outside in the side passage so likely most blockages should they arise could be cleared from that one. A previous property was similar but they had tiled and concreted over so would make a mess should they ever need access.
Edit: one in our kitchen, if access was needed they would need to move kitchen units and break grout. https://imgur.com/gallery/OU0jFvk

British hole
Really? That doesn’t look like a UK manhole cover, where abouts is it?
In my apartment, duh
In your *flat then? 🧐

It’s only in the US that shower heads are fixed to the wall btw 🧐🧐
I’m not US or British and have never even heard of a shower like that.
I’m gonna have to pay more attention to the showers in movies.
Now that I think of it, yeah, lots movies just have a shower head coming out of the wall. That’s sort of dumb.
We have these. Oh fuck it’s not uploading the pic for some reason
THESE
Ugh either there’s some bug and I’m posting 7 images or I’m not posting a single one, which I think is the case as no link here
Yeah it’s ok, we know what you mean!
Showers have a rail that you slide the head up and down on until you’re satisfied and now I’m partially erect. What were we talking about?
Ah yes, OP is a phony
It’s probably a chute for an old coal or wood heater. These are pretty common in houses built in the late 19th and early 20th century in the US.
I’d agree on location. But that cover is somewhere between 100 and 300 lbs :) That’s be one hell of a chute cover :)
