Only men could spin being so totally whipped by the system that you don't dare complain about sub-par living conditions, as something to be proud of.

(men are repressed, not happy)

Bad Feng Shui to sit with your back to an opening

1/10

Thufir Hawat moment

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 34 points 10 months ago

10/10 you have all the necessities of life

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

Excuse you, 9/10

There's no pee bottle

[-] D61@hexbear.net 34 points 10 months ago

You will live in the pod, you will eat the bugs, and you will whip-it-canister!

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 33 points 10 months ago

Is that a giant whip-it? Damn, they must need to put a lot of cream onto cakes.

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 30 points 10 months ago

Very efficient use of space, great job.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago

You will live in the space under the apartment complex's stairs, you will be happy.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

4/10... but add a pull-up bar and a lava lamp and it'll be 9/10.

Good cable management.

[-] vertexarray@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

What is that thing on the right

[-] buh@hexbear.net 36 points 10 months ago

the happiness dispenser

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 28 points 10 months ago

That's an electrical breaker box for a larger home or smalllish apartment building (like, probably under 10 units)

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

Those little HP monitors (e.g. VS19e) are awful. Man's losin' k-pain

[-] Big_Bob@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

8/10

  • tidy space with no distractions to optimise gaming performance

  • comfy chair that has stood its test of time

  • soft lighting that doesn't make you blind when you turn them on

Cons:

  • needs more anime posters

  • monitor needs an upgrade

  • computer on desk takes up valuable keyboard space

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

is the white stuff paint or are the walls just caked in mold

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

Years of elbow grease

[-] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

if that's true, I hate it

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

I think I had the same computer chassis decades ago or someone I knew did it triggered some deep memory for me

[-] oregoncom@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

if there's a shower nearby and maybe an open space for a butane stove then I'd live there if it meant not paying rent. Fuck it for one month's rent where I live I can put in drywall, floors, and lighting and maybe even get secondhand furniture.

[-] farting_weedman@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

No speakers, mid.

[-] material_delinquent@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

not seeing the bitcoin investment

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

How do you think I managed to score this place?

[-] Nomad@infosec.pub 10 points 10 months ago

Welp no bomb will reach down there. Are you near the front?

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

What is the point of this meme? Like... Is it literally just "women have garish and unnecessary aesthetic tastes, men only need a mattress with no sheets and a single computer". Like, should anyone be happy with a mattress and a single computer and no floor space? That said, I'm pretty austere so whatever

[-] Melonsman@hexbear.net 27 points 10 months ago

I think men are the butt of the joke here. It seems to be mocking the weird pride some men have for living like sewer rats

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago
[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

don't sip the powerade

[-] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah it's (imo) immediately obvious that you're not supposed to look at this and think it's good.

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

This was the hank hill set up

[-] nobloat@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

The menimalist lifestyle

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

It's perfect once you find a roommate or two to help with the rent.
