I've seen plenty of people kill themselves on the internet doing things that looked way less fun than that would be.

Crappy looking stilts aside, repurposing a shipping container for a pool is kinda neat but also too small to be of any use.Does this seem like a good idea to anyone?

Just looking at it makes me ask why they wouldn't just put it down on the concrete thing they have the stilts on. They could have gone with an actual jacuzzi or pool that way too.

It wouldn’t fit. It would be hanging off the concrete pad by ten feet. The pad doesn’t look like it could be made bigger, their hill is way too steep. They could turn it sideways I guess but doesn’t look like they’d be able to access it very well, due to the steepness. Bottom line is, that property isn’t suitable for a pool.
I have seen people repurpose shipping containers into the ground and actually make decent looking pools.

I'm sure the engineering on it is fine. Main thing is the footing and how well it is anchored to it. Definitely a unique application of an old shipping container.Does this seem like a good idea to anyone?

I've seen some pretty cool shipping container pools with transparent sides, along the lines of this. Small, but neat idea and I imagine is a cost-effective way to put a pool on a slope.
I'd be tempted to put two full sized containers end to end for lap swimming.

I mean, I'd get it if he was running a pool cleaning or chemical company and was trying to fool people into thing it was algae, but this seems like too much effort for no payoff. Unless this is the pussy version of killdozer and these people had pissed him off somehow.

Kinda funny in the asshole prank kind of way, so I assume it's just an asshole doing "pranks" as something to do when he wants to fly his drone.
People were trolls before the internet and did things for the lulz in real life for probably all of human history. Back in the small village/tribal days, the rest of the community was able to reign people in, but that all but went away once people got into big cities.

Slow. Storm surge flooded tons of coastal areas during the hurricane so the pool companies have been on restoration duty the last couple of weeks. Quotes and the like got back-burnered.
