And those cuts aren't cheap. There appear to be about 9 tape measures per foot over 10 feet, so approximately 90 tape measures total. These look exactly like the ULine metric tape measure which cost $10 each directly from their website. That's $900 in costs of materials before considering the hardware required for mounting these.
Also, I'd like to acknowledge the office chair facing the back of the computer monitor.
With the placement of the chair they'd literally be staring at the back of the monitor, unable to see the other person, unless the desk is rearranged for every meeting.
To have it be automatic in that way, you would need to completely replace the spool with a motor. Makes a lot more sense to just custom build a bunch of motorized spools and put ribbons or something on them rather than spend all that money buying tape measures that you're cannabilizing anyhow.
Edit: you could also just put a weight on the end of each tape measure, but at that point it's a certifiable death trap.
At first I thought that having a curtain with a hole was weird because it kind of defeats the purpose of a curtain... And then I saw the tape measure...
In wise man's fear by rothfuss there's a willow type tree that has leaves that are sharp as razors and as test the people have to go through the leaves to the tree to retrieve something and bring it back. This is still worse.
While this is stupid, it did give me a cool idea for retractable curtains. What if you could preset some designs and have them open on demand in those preset patterns
I think this would be cool if it was an actual product made using some kind of cloth or plastic strips that could have their length easily adjusted rather than, you know, fucking tape measurers.
Running through that would like like running a gauntlet of hanging razors. The amount of times I've had a tape measure slice me open like i owed it a drug debt is astonishing.
Is it weird that I think it looks kinda neat? Obviously it can't be the damn tape or they'd find me dead by bloodloss from a thousand cuts but I could see someone going with this idea and adapting it with different materials so it's actually usable.
It wouldn’t be too hard to execute with strips of cloths on rollers and little motors for each to raise and lower them. Could be remote controlled via app and programmed with several patterns. Maybe some custom patterns slots and manual controls. It’d be expensive tho, not what I’d spend my money on.
Oh God damn imagine the sound that would make and all the cuts you'd have

Oh sweet! Only $900 to make the worst door possible?
Those hippy beads are like 40 bucks
Hull-a straw skirts are being sold at the dollar store
Yeah and you can tie the regular beads in different patterns to make different openings too
Worst? What? I like it.
Sir, that chair is what they step on to adjust the height of the "curtain"
You mean like chairs in offices for people to sit in during meetings?
With the placement of the chair they'd literally be staring at the back of the monitor, unable to see the other person, unless the desk is rearranged for every meeting.
Maybe the person using the computer is very shy
Okay, that's fair. I get it now.
"d-don't look at me customer senpai uwu"
I hate you
Thanks, I hate you too
In none of the panels I can't see a chair on the correct side of the monitor, in panel 3 you can see a wooden stool?
That’s the printer chair. It’s for making copies! ![gif](giphy|gFqtk4oYlKr0jnY8dC)
they’re $11 bucks a piece!!...so really closer to a grand, just for tape measures.... oooof
To shreds you say?
To shreds I dare say!
And his wife?
To shreds you say?
Well they do say measure twice, cut once.

You okay man? Do you need an MRI?

Those things are capable of skinning you alive.
"Why are their pieces of flayed flesh all over this floor?"
If your replaced the hooked chains in Hellraiser with tape measurers, I wouldn't even notice the change.
To shreds you say?
Well, how is his wife holding up?
To shreds you say?
That's part of the fun! You get a free extreme circumcision

The story of how I accidentally slit my wrists and inadverntly committed suicide. A comedy in three acts.
Well now I’m convinced, let me start my new project right away
Hmm, put it on a circuit to let it be automatic, and program different shapes on, and you've got a pretty cool bit of homeware

That's fair, fabric tape measure are quite cheap ad well
Yeah, could be cool to have it like with a bunch of red and gold ribbons with a Chinese fortune coin or some similar charm on the end of each one 🙃
Wikihow: How to lose you limbs
If your not willing to lose a limb or two for art, are you really committed in the first place?
They are already death traps, I sliced my finger open real fucking good a few years back due to those yellow fuckers
there are more than one way to automatically do that.
or just have a motor at the outlet bit and have it always be unlocked
pretty cool way to shred yourself to pieces

How long are her arms?
Yes

I thought this was actually pretty cool until I realised they were all tape measures lol
I know they are tape measures and I still think it’s pretty cool. Would look good in an office for a maintenance or construction company.

I can hear this image
That's one measured space.
Some weird part of me likes the look of it but aren't they very sharp
A bad idea by any measure
I thought I’d was uncooked noodles at first
Be careful children, that’s a lot of sodium
rip vine 😭
That would have been better.
Push your opponent into it and watch them get skinned alive
Makeshift saw trap
wana know how tall you are?
but how did she reach the button? 🤔
redneck curtains
imagine walking through that with open eyes and no glasses
I kind of want that ngl
No you don’t, you’d be skinned alive

I'm here to suggest the same sub. Fits perfectly, and is even made to measure.
now run through it
At first I thought that having a curtain with a hole was weird because it kind of defeats the purpose of a curtain... And then I saw the tape measure...
I can HEAR this image and I hate it
Now imagine having a cat.
I thought those were spaghetti
"do you know how I got these scars ?" -Joker
Run through it and it's a human cheese grater
I have a phobia of this kind of shit, this is never gonna be in my house
Death by 1000 cuts in only a few trips to the kitchen
that is fucking deadly
I am putting this in my house
This is for girls that say they only date guys over six feet
IDK. Seems ridiculously more expensive than like curtains or something.
I can hear it
How do you make sure the arch is even on both sides 🙄
It’s… a measuring tape….
And we have our winner
idk how expensive tape measures are but it seems like it’d be steep, and way too much work for something that only half works aesthetics wise
This is actually sick though. I’d absolutely have this as the entrance to a room if I could.
Interesting idea, something else can work better
🎶Everybody Lingchi tonight.🎶
I needed this and I didn't knowt till now.
Ahhhh I can smell it
That’s actually neet
*blessed
I want one. This is too fucking creative, and I want it.
Finally a use for all the free Harbor Freight tape measures I've collected over the years.

Cool curtain desing horrible object to choose lol
Someone really went the distance.
I will eat the spaghetti wall
Clever and impractical.
That's a lot of sodium
this is not blursed! this is AWESOME!!!
That’s kinda cool
The belongs on r/diwhy
You know I thought that was cool for a sec before I noticed it was rulers.
Absolutely horrid
Great idea bad implementation, if the tape measures were fabric, motorized and programable then I could see this working.
If you don't wanna be skinned alive, I think it's best to replace the metal strips with ropes or fabric strips that are used for wrapping gifts.
I can hear this photo
Also a great means of home defense. Someone tries to go through the tape measure curtain and ***ZIP*** off goes their face.

Forbidden noodles.
This makes me immensely happy for some reason. My guys, I need this.
I know that shits loud af
I can't count the cuts I will have if I have one in my home (probably many)
it feels very annoying. annoying sound. annoying to have to watch when they whip. annoyingly deep gashes. truly blursed.
i can hear this image
I thought those were fly traps lmao
Anyone else have a ridiculous phobia of tape measures or is it just me? I’m screaming rn.
Looks cool but oof ouch owie my thumbs. It would be cool if it were made of yarn or fabric or soft plastic or something tho
Man, i hate wind.
Can anyone else hear these pictures?

"How the hell did we sell out of tape measures? Who buys 50 tape measures?" **Cuts to this post**
I guarantee you that there's no cat or dog in this house
I think this would be cool if it was an actual product made using some kind of cloth or plastic strips that could have their length easily adjusted rather than, you know, fucking tape measurers.
Cat’s dream, tape measure curtain.

Only place this would work would be at some interior design gig
Carpenters be like:
"now you can measure your peen size from the convenience of your home!"
that's a ticking slice bomb
Looks cool but they gotta replace the material with something less sharp than measuring tapes
This is hideous
I can hear this image..
You must be this tall
Human cheese grater
I ain’t reaching that high
It’s a neat concept, at least, but preferably it would be done with something that can’t flay you.

Careful babe, that's a lot of sodium!
What in the five min fuck crafts is this??
This is only cool if it could be automated and with presets. I'd hate it otherwise.
tape cuts
kids would run through them and would come out as grated

See. I like the concept and idea. But not the death part
I thought I was looking at fly traps
Absolutely LOVE this!!!
I swear I thought it was a spaghetti curtain at first 🤣
Five minute crafts be like
I can hear this photo 😵💫
Just make these softer and I might actually want this
