Walking by this beachfront billionaire house, the garage was open & I saw this. This chamber has a bench in it for seating maybe 2 people max. Oxygen chamber perhaps? (europe.pub)

I regret not getting clearer pictures to zoom in and see the words on the instruments but I felt the need to be discreet as I was just walking by, these ocean-front home garages are rarely/NEVER left open unattended. What is this mystery chamber?

One more different angle picture in the comments, you can see the seating bench in the chamber.

Just go grab this one. The garage door is open!

For reals. Because update: I walked past it again after work this evening now dark outside, and the garage door is still wide open! Fully lit inside and still no one in there. Very weird. Maybe they forgot they left their garage door open. But this area, there are billionaires and there are homeless people, you know how beaches are, so people are usually really tight about their security so it makes me wonder why they left their garage door open all day and I also wonder how there's been no intrusion or robbery yet.

Ummm…. My many jokes aside…. Are you sure they aren’t dead inside of it or something?

Maybe it's a suicide pod?

It's wide open with no indication of human occupancy from the angle I could see. I dunno. I didn't go any closer than the photos indicate.

One of my speculations is (first of all that whole unit looks brand squeaky new, like it's never even been used before), I speculate they're just low-key showing it off because their pathetic overly-wealthy lives with all the fuck-you-money, they can buy anything they want , but what fun is that if they can't show off their wealth to all the lowly humans around them? 😆 And no harm done if anybody breaks in or steals it, they could just buy another one.
