Thats hot xD
Hey man, what ever works.
Necessity win!!!!!!
recycling WIN!!!
Polish MacGuyver WIN!
you all FAIL
you are jealous….FAIL
hott water fail, but creativity WIN!
EEPA WIN!!!
WIN WIN!!
Definately a creative win! It’s a genius way of getting hot water!!
McGuyver is not dead! Maybe is a disguised bomb ^^
Ingenuity WIN!!!1!!
McGruver win (I spelled it wrong, sue me)
how is that recycling?
true that, at least he’s creative
lol is that russian?
not rly
No, It’s Soviet.
“Submitted by MB from Poland
Creativity win!”
It says it right under the picture. Polish. Go figure.
what is that supposed to mean, REALLY, unbelievable. In any case, this is very creative.
In Soviet Russia, water heats you.
In Soviet Russia, blender mix YOU!!!!
No my dear. “ludwig’ “dosia” and “kujawski” are used in Poland
. Ha! My country !! xD we’re the beat aren’t we ?? 
Too easy.
{claps}
You mean “Ludwik”?
Yeah, welcome in Poland 
.
Heh, musisz przyznać, że Polacy co jak co ale ze wszystkim sobie poradzą (może i nawet ze stadionami do 2012 nam się uda xD)
.
“Heh, You’ve to admit that Polish peeps can handle everything (maybe even the euro 2012 stadiums)” <— Fixed (improvised)
I dont think they will ; p but they ARE creative as hell
nie mysle ale fut mam jedny a cycki sa dwie
obcojęzyczni może tego nie zrozumieją, ale jako że język polski dla mnie językiem obcym nie jest, na temat twego postu mogę napisać tylko jedno:
epic fail…
yer face is an epic fail
O ile się nie mylę, to ta konstrukcja powstała w bursie szkolnej w Białej Podlaskiej:)
That kind of shuts down the old “dumb pollock” jokes. That is actually pretty clever.
Ingenuity Epic Win!!!
I thought a pollock was a fish. What is a Polish person called anyway? A Pole right?
I thought Pollock was a painter.
The same products are used all over Eastern Europe, not only Poland! I even use Dosia in Canada
Anyway, it’s only a FAIL in the eyes of westerners (you know, water and electricity don’t go together nicely), though I see it as “Ingenuity WIN”!!!
ludwig is a drum compony
“lol is that russian?”
No, because in Soviet Russia, hot water taps YOU!!!
I’d tap that.
kettle fail!
Very interesting.
Though.. taking the time to put it onto a hose would have been easier.
Who does things the easy way nowadays?
You mean running a hose from the faucet to the coffe pot I assume? Yes that would have worked better, but does it look like whoever did this had a long list of options on how to make this work?
It’s not fun failing at communication alone.-
Are you my dad?
You think if that they could afford a kettle, then they could afford some hot water in the long run but noooooo.
Rich fail — you’ve never been poor, have you?
It shows.
Judging by the condition of the kettle, I’d have to say that the owner picked it up out of the trash, thus paying precisely $0 for it.
Social awareness fail.
So you think the price of a crappy kettle and a water heater would be the same?
*sigh* This might bring em out.
I was first, and second.
Your my dad aren’t you?
no, it’s my ex husband!
That should be you’re, not your.
Incest fail?
and you’re not alone…
you’re?!
Blasphemy!
why?
Wow… triple post with a reply to yourself on each… You’re desperately lonely aren’t you?
totally…
decisively…
but he wont beat the lonelinesssss of ceiling cat though… ^__^
ceiling cat sucks.
i praise basement cat…
THIS IS MADNESS!
This is SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!1!!11!1one
Epic Win WMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
brilliant..
if it works, its a win… The Incredible Machine style.
By Ronco!
OMG I love that game – I still have the cd rom somewhere.
I saw TechnoViking do that one!!!!
WTF is this???
its engineering marvel…
WIN for the macgyver solution!
Gosh, that’s clever!
this picture comes from polish students hostel
Saw it before ;]
Not Hot Water Fail. Ingenuity win
Using a coffee maker as a hot water tap is not a win.
Having a hot water tap and a coffee maker, that’s win. Or, at least, not a fail.
object recognition fail!! its an electric kettle ~ water boiling machine dat will boil water to 100 degree Celcius!! ^___^
Water boils at 100C. Basic chemistry fail.
dats wat i said.. really.. but if u add some salt… it will go even higher… ^___^
I’m just saying…. but seriously, you didn’t say that, at all. You said “water boiling machine dat will boil water to 100 degree Celcius”. I seriously doubt that that means what Nimmirraj said. Water boils at 100 degrees Celcius. You can’t boil water below that temperature; like he said, it’s basic chemistry. So yeah. You fail right there for trying to cover up your mistake.
Oh, and since I love to be the Grammar Police, really, do you need to say “dat” instead of “that”? I mean, seriously, it’s only an extra letter, and it makes you sound smarter. It’s only like, I don’t know – both ‘t’ and ‘h’ are two keys away from ‘d’. Because “that” is better than “dat” in the long run. What if you had like, an essay? Would you be typing down “dat”? I doubt it – you’d fail. Utterly.
….Okay, I’m typing a wall of text. I’ll stop now.
Oh, yeah. Hot water system Fail, Ingenuity Win!
physics fail- in Fraser, Colorado, water boils at 195˚F or for you metric nazis, 90.5 C
labor under the pretense that you are lecturing this guy on physics, but all you’re really doing is nitpicking his grammar, he says boil to 100C, you think it doesn’t boil _until_ it reaches 100C, but i heard what he meant
I’m not sure why I’m breaking my silence to ask, but why (and how) would they add salt to the water???
btw I agree w/ a lot of people here. NO FAIL. Ingenuity WIN. Hot water fail would be some kind of claim of hot water when there isn’t any or it doesn’t work (come to think of it, like many of the public restroom faucets I see here in Japan).
Laughing at people just because they don’t have money to buy things we take for granted is stupid.
i nominate kannadzuki for burn of the week

If you must speak, I have a few minor “quibbles” with your grammar. You can’t put ……. and then a comma. “So yeah” is not a correct sentence. And it should be “I doubt it, you’d fail utterly.” Grammar fail!
CHEMISTRY FAIL
Water boils in relation to pressure, not temperature. Water boils at 100 degrees celcius AT SEA LEVEL. The higher you are, the lower the air pressure, and the lower the boiling point.
logic fail, water boils in relation to pressure AND temperature- if it was pressure NOT temperature, then heat wouldn’t work at all, you’d need a vacuum pump to boil water
PV=nRT FTW
If I increase the pressure without increasing the temperature, water will still boil. Not exactly a fail, more of a botch on both of your parts.
well at least (s)he believes his/her time to be valuable enough to skip one mere keystroke. and that caused you to type… how many keystrokes, in response to the one keystroke?
humility fail
seriously? “so yeah” is not a correct sentence? wow teach us more!
stole my words
even though the caption below already says creativity win
totaly an invention and creativity win
I agree it’s pure genus…but most likely not vary economical…
I learned in biology that for every genus there was a species… hm… and I’m note sure there’s much variation in the economics of this little project, it’s cheap and brilliant.
note sure? you can carry a tune?
most misspelled words in a thread fail?
1. totaly = TOTALLY
2. genus = GENIUS
3. vary = VERY
4. genus = GENIUS
Numbers 2 and 4: Alzheimer’s win?
You fail.
Genus #2 is in fact genus, which is why Tom’s comment makes sense somewhat.
then why is it in a list of misspelled words? saying “= GENIUS” after it?
well, its for sure not very economical^^ but at all its genious
You’re a “genious!”
no, “at all” it’s cheap and easy unless they leave the tap and the heater on all the time.
Redneck engineering win!
How long have rednecks been in Poland?
Ghetto engineering win!
LOL
Hey! Who stole my setup!?
you stole it
that is brilliant. not a fail at all, except maybe on the part of the landlord…
It looks a little dangerous.
Darwin Award win?
I wonder what the set up is for the shower @_@
XDDDDDDDD
well you see they obviously duct-taped an element from an electric stove to the shower head, leaving a bunch of wires exposed for good measure.
LOLZ, this is older than teh internetz :p
and of course, you would know, seeing as you made this.
Look at the rest of that dump.
LIFE FAIL.
Ingenious!
MacGyver WIN
Yes, and he’s going to use the hot water, the sponge, and the chemicals from those two bottles to build a nuclear reactor.
…to escape from that basement!
Then, he’ll take two aspirin and a paperclip and build a time machine, go back into the past and prevent the whole mess, thereby creating a time paradox! Aughlabljaglughbluauaghl!!!!!!11!!!one
Rube Goldberg win.
hahaha in epic fashion
AWEsome hot water tap.
Failosaurus FAIL
Human survival system WIN
Won’t you get shocked if you try to use it?
The heating element is usually not isolated you know.
understanding of electricity fail- the path of least resistance is still the heating element- water will conduct, but metal conducts even better
1st Grade Physics fail…
wow i knew our education system was bad, but i sure didn’t study physics in 1st grade!
funny thing is, I did- they didn’t call it physics, they called it batteries & bulbs, we wired up simple circuits, learned about parallel vs series circuits, we played with wiring up multiple switches too, so in a way a beginning of boolean logic…
Let me guess – you apply the same logic when you take the hair dryer into the bath with you. “But the electricity will just go back up the other wire and won’t shock me!”
the difference is the kettle is made to contain water while the power is on, a hair dryer is not- in the hair dryer, the nichrome wires are exposed, you can see how fine they are when they glow red hot. kettles, like an electric stove, use calrod- nichrome wire encased in ceramic, further encased in metal, which is grounded, or at least connected to neutral.
ok, so i had to look it up to explain the gut feeling i had beforehand, but i’m still right
anywho, the reason you can electrocute yourself in bath or shower is not solely because of the electrical device, but because of the plumbing providing an additional path to ground. if you had all pvc plumbing (which you can do for drain of course, but i’m not sure for supply (dammit jim, i’m a doctor not a plumber), but even so, in a bath your supply is not submerged in the water, but i digress) you could sit in your tub with a toaster with no ill effects… at least not to you, the toaster wouldn’t ever be the same again…
It’s the salt from your body that makes the water such a great conductor.
Don’t you watch Mythbusters? =S
while true that pure water is a rather poor conductor, i doubt the water from that tap is anything approaching pure
He could just boil water on the stove…
Or why not just head up the water in the electric kettle, and then use it? Did he really need to put a hole through it?
common sense fail.
Have you ever tried to wash both hands while pouring your water out of a kettle? Apparently not.
Hint — ’tis not easy.
Things are more interesting when you’re stoned.
3rd degree burns fail
I think that’s a hot water win o _o
Now…how does he get cold water?
He turns off the jug?
I wonder what this place’s mechanism to dry your hands works, (blowdrier?)
Probably the traditional blowdryer/wipe it on your trousers arrangement, but without the unsightly blowdryer.
it is a flow-through hot water system, btw welcome to Poland! Chemicals are from the left: Ludwik (eng. Louis) – dishwashing liquid you can buy everywhere in Poland, and Dosia – cheap dishwashing powder. And the whole system is a WIN!
totally a win. think of the time and braincells it took to come up with a setup like that as opposed to calling the landlord and getting screwed out of a hundred bucks or more.
altho i have to wonder. . . how do they shower or bathe??
With dishwasher powder and a massive kettle attached to a water pipe hanging over the bath. Of course.
You forget to add that the kettle drains into a slightly tilted watering can to create the shower head effect.
I would like to introduce you to new word – POVERTY.
clever
Thats actually pretty clever.
Inventive win.
It’s actually quite clever if you can’t afford a hot water tank.
Neccessity is the mother of invention they say. I’d say this person did pretty well all things considered. There is no way you could get ME to use it, but still, pretty ingenious.
hell, i’d use it, ‘twould be rude not to if i’m in their house…
True, but my sense of self-preservation runs high.
MacGuyver win.
Electrocution hazard WIN!
Meth lab fail.
Not really, but thinking that make me laugh, so I thought I’d share.
I’m failing to see the fail here. If this setup produces hot water, how could it be a “hot water fail”? That’s a win!
An imaginative solution to a problem, I’d have thought.
Hot water McGyver style.
Imagine what he could do with a paper clip and a rubber band.
That’s right, shoot you in the eye with the rubber band for making such a ridiculous comment.
Oh my god, really? *bats eyelashes*
Hm… if you let it boil, FAIL! But if you turn on the kettle, wait for it to be warm, WIN!
It’s been on the “Vote” page for quite some time, now. Apparently someone just sent it in before you did. It happens!
Ingenious win!
well, if it works, then it’s actually really smart!
Hope the rent is cheap…
Timing fail.
Its funny I posted earlier this morning when only that knight guy was here and my posts get moved?
Very interesting..
Fail.
WOW!!! This is a win (of creativity, as mentioned in the post) not a fail
Crying About It Fail
Comment comprehension fail.
You say “hot water fail” I say “Ingenuity Win”
Hot water win! Hot TAP water fail.
I HAVE THAT KETTLE! (without he tube…)
and….why is the tap so high above the sink?
maybe us Canadians have ours ridiculously low? :S
Isn’t that a frame from Honda’s next ad?
That is such a WIN! That’s like MacGyver, A-Team, and Mythbusters all rolled into one WIN!!!
just soes everyones is awares, dis is the shower/bath. sink is in toilet
Great!! just amazing xDDD You need it?? you made it
That seems more like a cleaning fail.
How will the water be left long enough to boil if there is a hole on the side of the kettle?
the hole in the bottom is rather small, it will pour in faster than it flows out- and with a small volume of water, it will heat up quickly enough… if not you can always plug the tube with your finger for a minute
Well, it’s not supposed to boil. Boiling water would be tough to wash one’s hands with.
what do they do if they want COLD water?
you’re stupid
Bend over and I’ll show you hot water.
How inventive. Recycling win?
photoshop
that’s win not fail
Poor students made this !
Smart way.
that looks just like my clandestine meth lab!
Can we say clean bathroom fail??
Those pipes ain’t the only ones that need cleaning!
(e-perv phail)
That’s not very well POLISHed.
Wow…this is pretty ingenious if you ask me.
That doesn’t look very clean…
POLISH STUFF!!!
POLAND RULES!!
EPIC CREATIVITY WIN
I think it’s less “Hot Water Fail” and more like “Bong Fail.”
Goddamn stoner.. you’re just jealous because even white trailer trash hicks are smarter and more creative than you… go smoke some weed out of an apple.
P.S. That doesn’t even closely resemble anything like a bong.
So you have enough experience to know what it looks like?
Rube Goldberg WIN!
that is a really nice idea…
That’s one of the craziest contraptions I have ever seen! Ever heard of electrical applicances and running water doesn’t mix? LOL
what a cheap house.. its got mould and shit plus the sinq is in the living room what a filthy way to live.. id kill myself if my house was like that and 100s of ppl would see it.. i mean come on is he proud of not having warm water in his house..?
Standard of living FAIL.
redneck sink!
that is so stupid!
Hot water WIN…
jak zwykle WSTYD … no i co oni maja o nas myslec…?
Że Polacy są niezwykle kreatywni i umieją sobie radzić w potrzebie. (;
Woah, it’s just like The Incredible Machine!
What makes it a fail? I say it’s a win
innovation win?
for me it’s a kind of win..
Epic WIN! XD
Awesome! I want one! But wouldn’t the water go through the kettle too quick for it to be heated?
hahha nice idea
Hot Water FAIL; Resourcefulness WIN
My landlady calls it a “No need to hire a plumber” win, but I call it a “rent control” fail
Poland WIN …. or fail…what-evah
