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

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

10/10 you have all the necessities of life

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Excuse you, 9/10

There's no pee bottle

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

Very efficient use of space, great job.

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

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

What is that thing on the right

the happiness dispenser

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

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

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

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

Years of elbow grease

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

if that's true, I hate it

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 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.

No speakers, mid.

How do you think I managed to score this place?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

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

This was the hank hill set up

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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

don't sip the powerade

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

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