Apparently this was a punishment for drunkards in parts of Europe and supposedly some parts of the US.

How is it a punishment if it looks so dope?

It would be pretty fucked if the bottom was just two leg holes. You couldn’t sit down comfortably… you’d have to lay down and pray you don’t roll away while you’re suspended inside by you neck and angles… but I guess looking good is never easy
