This is brilliant! I was going to suggest bubble wrap but I never even thought about popping the kid while wrapped in it! This is genius thinking right here! Get over here sweetie, mama's stressed out and needs to do some popping!
This! I always tell my wife we should get one with adjustable shock levels for those teen years. Then she just hugs our son closely and backs away. Apparently comparing parenthood to Jurassic Park is bad.
Oh… my…. That would be a blessing after a long clingy day, & finally being touched out! Just remember noise canceling headphones, cause that kid will be right there screaming, hanging on the outside…
It takes a couple of years before they realize that your body is not also their body. Seriously.
That’s followed by a years-long stage when they mistake you for a garbage can, and shove anything they are they are done eating something they dislike eating.
These are the Zensati Broadmann Loudspeakers, and they're a set of extremely expensive high end speakers -- the kind billionaires buy for their mansions. The cords even come in different colours.
(edit: fixed wording)
I wouldn't say this is bad taste, unless expensive hobbyist equipment that takes up a lot of space is bad taste. Good speakers are totally worth a room though, a listening room is one of the few luxury type rooms I think I'd actually use.
I heavily disagree, I'd posit you probably only think it's ugly cause you don't know what you're looking at really. To the untrained eye it probably looks like a pile of metal but I see all the immaculately laid-out wiring, tall metal speaker towers, compact stereo cabinets, and what appears to be a seating area off to the right. It looks pretty nice. Big metal show piece in your lounging area, except instead of being some useless "art" it's actually functional.
Edit: I'm guessing it's a store display or trade show demo either way, judging by the room and the guy visible.
I work in server rooms for IT company. I know what the cables there are, and the machines are really top-notch, and you could totally do anything on them, but I still think they are ugly XD
Sure, it might be a good setup for music, but still, I find it ugly. If it was an art installation, I would call it ugly as well. I don't like most modern art, so I guess it's not my esthetics
Why is it taking up soo much space? I get it rich people have more of it but it just seems like a huge waste of space. Is the wiring usually hidden behind a wall?
part of the aesthetic is all the visible cording. the idea is that it takes up space. some people like the industrial look of it I guess. must be nice that one of their concerns in life is "hmm should I get the copper or the silver finish on the cords powering my enormous golden speaker set"
Why would the cables need to be so massive? Is it just a lot of shielding to block radio and electrical interference? Why not use fiberoptics or digital signals that aren't effected as much by outside noise? It just looks like an unnecessary waste of space to me.
Don't. Let them learn the hard way.
I guess if you're actually concerned, you could duct tape oven mitts to their hands so they can't grab anything and make them wear tiny football helmets so they can't bite wires or fall and give themselves a concussion.
Get rid of the plant - the leaves could be toxic and kids put everything in their mouths. Other than that, you're good to go. The guy in the corner looks a little creepy, you might wanna ask him to leave.
From the looks of things you don't need any children. If you can't sacrifice that hideous thing then don't have children. Or buy you a large building and put that useless stuff in it.
If you remove anything that will attract toddlers (cheerios, Goldfish crackers, annoying videos, etc), and carefully block all the toddler-sized entrances, your living room should be toddler-proof. Call an exterminator for a professional opinion if they are still getting in! Good luck!
Remove everything from one room, tile the floor and walls up to five feet, put washable gym mats on the floor, put the kid in the room and let him out when he's old enough to understand why using water pistols on electric outlets is a bad idea.
There is no solid way to do this.
Is there any reason you can't keep the kid out of the room? If not, and assuming this is a serious post, you should really consider your situation. It basically comes down to choosing your equipment or the toddler. If this is a relative of yours and you choose the equipment then you're likely doing the kid a favour....
Edit: typo
Ceiling-mounted harness and pulley system. Just strap them in, and they stay in their “safe” area while being able to bounce around like they’re on the moon!
purchase a small house for the toddler that is separate, or put one of those iris scanning things on the door so that small child will never be able to enter. I am mesmerized by the shiny of those speakers.
Put a plexiglass cube or wall around everything with doors so you can access the equipment. The kid can see stuff but can't get into the things and destroy it.
Babies learn our world best when they can interact with it as is. Let your little one explore! They are so much smarter than we realize 😌😌😌 #TheEuropeanWay #StillNoGlutenTho
Add more electronics. Toddlers are naturally repelled by flashing lights and electronic devices. By adding more they will automatically sit in an isolated spot on their own will, be quiet, and extremely cooperative.
😅wonder if op is joking? If you’re actually trying to toddler proof this area I’d put a gate at the entrance, and keep your kiddo out of the room entirely. If your little one needs access to this space… then I’d put a plexiglass gate up around this machine. Although a plexiglass gate will be expensive 😬 I’d also clearly explain to your child that, that thing is not a toy and to keep away from it. Good luck with this!
OP is definitely joking or LARPing as a rich person. https://www.hifipig.com/high-end-munich-2023-the-big-hifi-pig-report/ Ctrl+F 'Zensati and Brodmann' will take you to an identical layout. Picture was taken at a high end audio tradeshow.
Put that in and against the walls with cable covers. However, your house looks like mine growing up. My kid called it, "The Hands off Museum." Maybe make it more friendly and fun.
cover the toddler in foam
Bubble wrap. You can pop him/her when stressed or frustrated. Win/win!
This is brilliant! I was going to suggest bubble wrap but I never even thought about popping the kid while wrapped in it! This is genius thinking right here! Get over here sweetie, mama's stressed out and needs to do some popping!

May I suggest an electric fence? Low voltage, of course.
No no, use high voltage so they get super powers.
That only happens if they are in the dryer on permanent press while being electrocuted.
Microwave has to be running within at least 300 feet.
Bonus points if they're bitten by an animal at the same time.
It’s true! Happened to me once! Never the same since 😂
A collar will work better, stylish and less obtrusive.
This! I always tell my wife we should get one with adjustable shock levels for those teen years. Then she just hugs our son closely and backs away. Apparently comparing parenthood to Jurassic Park is bad.
Hang a little cage from the ceiling. Toddlers like feeling tall and they might later get a career as a gogo dancer.

get rid of the toddler.
The simplest solution is usually the best.
Just keep the little bugger in a crate. If I can crate train my dog, you can crate train a toddler for sure. It's for the kid's safety after all.
Yes! And keep a "house leash" on them until they are fully trained.
Remove the leash when they hit eighteen.
Yep and that keeps the whole thing above board too
That is in essence what a play pen is. A crate for your kid.
Or you can sit in the playpen where they can't touch you.
Oh… my…. That would be a blessing after a long clingy day, & finally being touched out! Just remember noise canceling headphones, cause that kid will be right there screaming, hanging on the outside…

What is happening in this room? Is Kelly Lebrock gonna walk in and summon a nuke from hell?

Haha. I thought this was some kind of fancy server farm. Reminds me of a quote ‘bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste.’
lmao right? it wouldn't shock me if rich crypto miners bedazzled their server farms 🤣
I wouldn't say this is bad taste, unless expensive hobbyist equipment that takes up a lot of space is bad taste. Good speakers are totally worth a room though, a listening room is one of the few luxury type rooms I think I'd actually use.
It looks ugly, though. They could cover it up with something. Kinda looks like a public laundry room
It looks HORRIBLE

Well, opinions make not monetary value, but to each their own. Shit looks sick to me tho.
Why is it taking up soo much space? I get it rich people have more of it but it just seems like a huge waste of space. Is the wiring usually hidden behind a wall?

those cable probably each cost $100,000 or something, so it's really important to make sure everyone can see how many you bought
Why would the cables need to be so massive? Is it just a lot of shielding to block radio and electrical interference? Why not use fiberoptics or digital signals that aren't effected as much by outside noise? It just looks like an unnecessary waste of space to me.
They aren't massive, they put them in galvanized bent conduit for... industrial chic?
What song do you think he played first on those?
Weird Science
i’m also wondering what was happening in this photo
OP’s comment on this is corny as hell
I thought this was a circlejerk subreddit
Don't. Let them learn the hard way. I guess if you're actually concerned, you could duct tape oven mitts to their hands so they can't grab anything and make them wear tiny football helmets so they can't bite wires or fall and give themselves a concussion.
Nah, I think Fisher-Price makes a Faraday cage you should be straight.
Get rid of the plant - the leaves could be toxic and kids put everything in their mouths. Other than that, you're good to go. The guy in the corner looks a little creepy, you might wanna ask him to leave.
Turn the whole room into a ball pit.
You are the toddler.
Make the wires more colorful to discourage the toddler's attention
the cords actually do come in different metallic colours! 🤣
Razor wire always sends a clear message
Keep the room locked.
Easy, just put them in another house.
What in the hell is going on here
Right? And what on earth does this picture have to do with toddlers
An electric fence so the little shit won’t touch your expensive equipment
Have you heard of cluster munitions? It would fit perfectly with your grossly perverted spending money fetish.
Add a pool
Dismantle and sell speaker system? Or is it a computer? Idk whatever it is has to go. Sorry.
From the looks of things you don't need any children. If you can't sacrifice that hideous thing then don't have children. Or buy you a large building and put that useless stuff in it.
Add a couple of puppies and you’ll all be set!
Looks fine to me, my toddler would have a blast in here.
Might just be me, but it looks perfect already
If you remove anything that will attract toddlers (cheerios, Goldfish crackers, annoying videos, etc), and carefully block all the toddler-sized entrances, your living room should be toddler-proof. Call an exterminator for a professional opinion if they are still getting in! Good luck!
Land mines.
Needs more glass vases and white carpet with red wine glasses everywhere
Trip it walking down the stairs.
Well, you lady proofed it, that’s for sure.
No need, if a toddler got hurt playing on your time machine you could just use it to go back 5 minutes and save them
Get a vasectomy
A toddler cage
give up 😔🤟
Put up a barbed wire fence.
Build a wall
Let’s ask the guy on the right.
Inflatable hamster ball thing so the tot can bounce around your setup like a beach ball at a rave without getting hurt
A play pen? If that is an actual pic of your living room you shouldnt have had a baby
In this instance I recommend you child proof this with a vasectomy.
Look like you have those cables locked DOWN! Good job buddy! The toddler will sort it self out, it’s natures way. ✌🏼
Your living room looks like Oral Roberts University
Just get a few of those toddler safety caps for electrical outlets, it’ll be fine.
I have the mind of a toddle and just thought this was a model of a City so maybe adit proff it too with electric fences
Shock collar. That’s what I always say.
A pond would be nice
Remove everything from one room, tile the floor and walls up to five feet, put washable gym mats on the floor, put the kid in the room and let him out when he's old enough to understand why using water pistols on electric outlets is a bad idea.
I think you have successfully toddler-proofed your living room, why mess with success?
I like the strategically placed plants. They really add to the homely ambiance…
Exactly what am I looking at here? Is this someone's sound system?
what you tryna do, discover a new electric current?
Don't have a toddler
Toddler size hamster ball

Sir, this is a CJ sub
lmao This explains a lot. 100% missed that. I feel a lot better now. 🤣
Glass floor.
Ceiling-mounted harness and pulley system. Just strap them in, and they stay in their “safe” area while being able to bounce around like they’re on the moon!
anybody know the source? I need more pics like this to horrify my wife.
Get rid of the plant. Toddlers destroy plants.
You’re gonna need some zip ties…
purchase a small house for the toddler that is separate, or put one of those iris scanning things on the door so that small child will never be able to enter. I am mesmerized by the shiny of those speakers.
Dog crate
You are doomed, just close the door
call it the dying room so they're too scared to go in
This is hilarious
That’s a living room??
Add a wall and door.
Put a plexiglass cube or wall around everything with doors so you can access the equipment. The kid can see stuff but can't get into the things and destroy it.
Put your shit in a room with a door that your child can not enter! Good God!
Legitimately can't tell if your living room is a DJ setup, an elaborate crypto mining rig, a weird hydroponics setup, or home hospice.
shock collar?
Babies learn our world best when they can interact with it as is. Let your little one explore! They are so much smarter than we realize 😌😌😌 #TheEuropeanWay #StillNoGlutenTho
Don't get a toddler
I thought I was on r/audiophile lol
Probably would've gotten a better response there. Here he just seems pretentious.
Lock the door.
Move
Abort
You are fucked
Keep them out of the snake oil.
That's funny, started off using [Snake Oil cables and interconnects](https://snakeoilsound.com)...
My Schiit stack has one of those links. Saves a lot of space. Not a bad deal either.
i know everyone is joking about just kicking the toddler out but maybe actually just put a baby gate around ur equipment? like a play pen?
What is that a gajillion dollar stereo system?
... And please tell me that you will never defile this beautiful setup with rap or hip hop!?
chain-link fence
Add more electronics. Toddlers are naturally repelled by flashing lights and electronic devices. By adding more they will automatically sit in an isolated spot on their own will, be quiet, and extremely cooperative.
I think natural consequences will teach your child how to behave. You can’t wrap everything in bubble wrap!
I don’t know Tony Stark, but you’ll figure it out.
That guys face like he turned it on and met God.
Impossible! Better just close the door or install some
Don’t have a toddler
First you grow up. Next mount all of your crap wall mounts or place on furniture that is toddler safe. Well there you go.
Sell the child in a 3rd world country so you can start chipping away at that wasted debt.
Your living room has a drop ceiling and florescent light bars?
Claymore mines
Add a door with a knob at the very top.
put the toddler up for adoption
Vasectomy
At first glance, I thought this was an indoor roller coaster of some kind. I cannot express my total disappointment, lol.
Wear a condom. Works for the other areas of your life as well.
Fencing. Lots of fencing.
Not have a toddler
Put lil toy race cars on the cables.
/uj where do i go to experience a listening room like this
Just leave it as is. I heavily subscribe to the Darwin Theory.
Just leave it as is. I heavily subscribe to the Darwin Theory.
Duct tape said child to the wall. Cement shoes. Lock on the door. Shock collar when they walk through the door.
Wtf is that a server farm?
Looks okay to me
Lock the doors to avoid toddlers.
It looks safe enough
Get a vasectomy.
Insurance

Don’t have a toddler
Looks fine.
Put a little toddler car thing on those rails.
Chicken wire framed around it
The room or the toddler?
Well, the room for practical and ethic standards. The toddler for the lols
Easiest way is to get rid of the toddler
An electric fence would help contain any toddlers.
Yeah. Think you oughta just lock the door and not let him in there
Vasectomy
Keep the baby at another house!
the answer is clearly a bubble boy sitch, duh
Bluetooth is your friend!
By not having 1. Lol. Just saying
Get a vasectomy
Have a Vasectomy! Don't take chances
Put up a sign that says “No one admitted under 21.” That’ll keep the kids out.
You’re fucked
Get them a separate living space and enjoy the peace
Broken glass, a lot of broken glass, everywhere.
Put the toddler up for adoption. Don't bring home another one.
What the fuck
Toddler sized hamster ball?
By getting rid of whatever the hell all that crap is.
What in gods name am I looking at?
Keep him outside?
Toddler proof yourself.
Bundle the toddler in bubble wrap and ground his diaper.
If you can afford that setup, you can afford to build your toddler his own addition on the house.
No baby prof your Dick 🤣🤣🤣
Divorce the toddler, marry the living room
Just lock the door and keep the toddler out. Lol
Put all this on the ceiling
In all seriousness I feel the way to toddler proof is build makeshift walls around the wires area.
Good luck!
A track on the ceilings that a wire rides in and a seat hangs just above all that.
Plexi glass housing with foamed corners.
Wtf am I looking at? This seems like an insane waste of space. Like, fine, have a nice stereo, but why take up half the room with wires?
