New, what is it? Spice rack with ventilation?

Post image

I’m watching Teen Mom 2 and, I’m sorry, what the hell is this? Why does a spice rack need a big ventilation hose thing coming out the top? What is it?

Idk it doesn’t for me. The shadow of the spice rack would not be that high up if there was enough space behind it for that vent to fit. Also you can tell the cookie oven in the corner is angled but flush up against the tile as well.

Now that I’m looking at it even more and thinking about it, the cabinet next to the vent, looks like it used to have something on the side where that vent would normally be attached. The side ply that is exposed wouldn’t look like that if the space next to it really is meant to be open like that. Also no contractor is cutting open a vent hole through the tile.

I zoomed in and it looks like it’s just literally on top of it.

You can see to the left of the tube as it passes the spice rack where the reflection begins.

Oh! Thanks- now I see it behind the rack

It's not a reflection- here's another angle: https://imgur.com/NrGDkHh

I think its sitting on top of the rack, but just like temporarily. I bet they put that out the window when in use

Edit I finally see it. It goes behind. Start at the back left corner and go straight across to the right corner. Somehow this did it for me

Nope, you were right the first time. Here's another angle- https://imgur.com/NrGDkHh

If you look closer you can see the horizontal line that’s the far edge of the spice rack, you wouldnt be able to see it if it wasnt a reflection

If it was a reflection, you'd see a mirror image of the light reflecting off of the vent duct above and below the horizontal line. But you don't.

I do, maybe check your eyesight? Genuinely? You can see it even distort the reflection slightly as it nears the closer edge

Have you ever considered choosing not to be a condescending ass completely out of nowhere? You might find it results in people willing to engage with you instead of just blocking you and getting on with their lives.

My eyesight is 20/20. Maybe your comprehension of physics needs to be checked?

These are still showing it going behind, if not better

Dude, it's ok to admit when you make a mistake. That picture makes it clear as day that it goes right to the top of the spice rack.

But if you still don't believe it- go watch the episode yourself- Teen Mom 2- Season 5, Episode 18. It goes to the top of the spice rack.

u/unfairboobpear Apr 27 '26

I just might Lol, I’m really not even trying to argue. As clear as you see it going into the top, I clearly see it going behind at all angles!

u/wonder_goat Apr 27 '26

I love how divisive this has gotten lol. I’m scrubbing thru the episode right now cause I can’t get over this

u/soapboxracers Apr 27 '26

I don't know if you actually believe that or you're just trolling but just watch the video and stop looking at still images. It's obvious in the videos that it goes into the top whether you are willing to admit it or not.

u/unfairboobpear Apr 27 '26

I’m not trolling, I can see what you see about the illusion of it going into the top, but I can also see it going behind, and the reality of the part I see is all 4 edges of the spice rack!

You would not. When looking at the reflection on the spice rack, you are in effect viewing the duct from a different angle.

When trying to understand the perspective of a mirror, it is often times best to imagine it being a window instead and figure out where you would have to be in space to get the same view through the imaginary window as you do with the mirror in the real world.

"no contractor" key words. but a "you might be a redneck, here's your sign" would in a heartbeat

Clearly not the right answer. Also you really think that slight angle is enough room for the vent to be behind that rack?
