Some hipster design shit right there.
It's rustic really.
Diwhy
I understand DIWhy is more for things that, no matter how well built they are, just shouldn't be done at all.
This is something that should be done.
They why bit is, in my opinion, because the sink is meant to be dropped into the hole in the counter top to help keep moisture away from the underside.

What is the purpose of the little tiny sink on the left?
garburator
This will be a fun new addition to my vocabulary.
Note the bottle of Fairy, the UK equivalent of Dawn. It's not a waste disposal, it's a fucking useless sponge holder, in my experience
what does the Fairy bottle have to do with it supposedly not being a garburator
Waste disposal is a weirdly American thing. That's why when you go on holiday and chuck your food down the drain like a special-needs kid discovering toilet roll for the first time, you have to phone people like me to fix it for you
weird, it's common where I live (Poland, Europe)
edit: common may be an exaggeration, I could probably list like 5 or 6 homes of my family members and close friends which do have it
edit2: oh we also have Fairy so this may as well be in Poland lol
edit3: the label in the photo is in English so it's unlikely

Is that common in newer homes? Is it a regional thing? I've only ever seen garbage disposals installed in the regular sink drain, I've never seen one that had it's own dedicated little sink like that!
American here: never seen it another way. Always two sinks in one, and the one of them has a garbage disposal on it.
They're not common in the UK.
The little sink is just that really. I use it for pouring liquids down the drain when washing dishes and the main sink is full of water.
Don’t sink shame bro
I'm not shaming! Maybe it's something important? Maybe I need a tiny little extra sink next to my sink? What have I been missing out on???
The small one is to use as a sink when the big one is full of week old dirty dishes.

Rinsing sink, for kitchens with limited counter space. My kitchen is small and has one of these. It's just wide enough for one of these.
Emergency back up sink when you fill other one up with dirty crap. Designed to make you panic and hopefully do something about the real sink. I've always hated double sink designs. They just use a bunch of extra space that could have been more sink.
My parents have one like it but with a sort of driptray in it so you can use it to wash fruits and vegetables, for example.
Sure, some people like them. I'll take a bigger sink and throw a strainer in it for that sort of thing though. Redid my kitchen a few years ago and threw in an obnoxiously large and deep rectangular pit of a stainless steel sink and it's the best damn thing I've done to my kitchen. It even has a seamless extension that is a flat drying rack so you cut an even gianter opening in the granite and put that part over the dishwasher.
That we can agree on. Having worked in commercial kitchens a bit I wish every kitchen could be huge and stainless steel. Might actually cook for myself if that were the case.

You can have one filled with water and the other freely draining for different steps of cleaning
To be a sink.
/thread.
Spoiler alert: the drain is just a straight pipe to a bucket below the counter.
Yo, calm down there Holmes. I'm a pro. I put gravel in there to filter out the big chunks.

That was pretty much my legit setup in my last rent house. I'm so so glad I finally got out of there.
@BonesOfTheMoon wait, this isn’t a SovCit post!
Thought I'd try something new. I always have more sovcits though.
Well, DIWhy you holding out on us?!
Those are my favorites on the fediverse so far, but this is also funny, so keep branching out!

Any chance it's being held up by milk crates?
Any chance it's not being held up by milk crates?
If home improvements was a mental illness
Jesus Christ. Was there a shortage at the template factory or what?
It’s got that rustic look to it.
I'm more fascinated by the countertop. Although thin and probably composite rather than natural stone, it's still stone and that can get really expensive. At that budget you'd think you'd have the funds for a better sink solution.

But the tap is perfect
My guess is that they followed the manual, skipping a few steps, glued the sink before cutting, panicked and then voilà.
If it works, it works 🤷
Apparently, the workers installed the countertop on top of the sink when the owner was not at home, and the wife signed the documents accepting the work.
The dude had to cut holes with improvised tools.
This is my version of what happened.
