Is this real? The language of the site almost seems like a joke. And the only content related to SomiPods were all posted today and primarily on Reddit.
I see one landlord forum post of some guy supposedly meeting the sales rep at Costco lol. Another landlord chimes in and says it’s already here in the UK. But even then, these posts were also only posted today. Seems a bit strange that these things are already implemented yet even landlords seem to have found out about it today, alongside the rest of us. The account who created the thread also only created their account today.
Their testimonial section also includes news articles… about pods, in general. Not their brand. In fact some are even advertising other brands lol
Capsule hotels are real and have been for a very long time. Can't comment on this website, but tiny little pre-fab pods just big enough to shove a bed in, sometimes with tvs or whatever, stacked on racks to cram in as many as possible, have existed in Japan at least for decades. Characters living out of a capsule hotel is a common theme in cyberpunk.
In the UK we don't need pods because they will just "convert" cupboards and hallways into bedrooms
