Minimalism is a ploy by big small to sell more less

This should be graffitid on a wall somewhere

Clearly a man of tastes

Look at the muscles on that man though he has his priorities straight.

What's peoples problem with sleeping on the floor. I want to upgrade my futon to a Japanese futon so I can fold it up when I'm not using it. Though I'm definitely weird, my back does not like any support

[-] Rooster326@programming.dev 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Most mattresses require ventilation.

That dude doesn't even own a top sheet. That's disgusting.

Bet if you lifted it, you'd smell straight ass and see mold.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

It's fine when you're young.

When you get older, the ability to roll your feet off the bed and easily stand up is clutch.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Problem is humidity under your mattress. Japanese daily move the mattress so they don't have that problem.

I did that a lot, one advantage of a bedframe is the storage you get underneath.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Bro if you wanna live like you’re camping in a tent fine but don’t expect people to like it. I mean not even a sheet? Nothing? How does he wash it? If you can’t even wash the top the layer why on earth should anyone want to sleep on it? At least with the Japanese futon, if you do it right, it can look nice and purposeful but even then you should have real sheets for it and it can be rolled up, unlike this thing. I know someone who does the futon thing and their place is actually pretty nice and purposeful, not cobbled together garbage.

Even brand new an Ikea Tarva frame just isn’t that expensive and it’s nice, solid wood. I replaced the legs with $8 of 2x2 from Home depot so it’s nice and tall for me since I’m tall and hate having to get UP out of bed.

The biggest reason, of course, is because it almost always comes with an overarching theme of disgusting living habits. It’s not great on its own but when it brings all its dirty-ass friends you’re in for a bad time.

Lots of assumptions here unless you're only talking about the guy in the comic.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

How many assumptions am I making? Everyone I’ve known to sleep with a mattress on the floor is at least minorly gross, and I made exceptions for a properly used Japanese futon.

And as far as the guy in the comic is concerned it’s got that energy of those dudes who go on social media and proudly claim that it’s “normal” to shit their pants and have dirty skid-marked underwear. It’s not “minimalism” if it’s less of a choice and more a complete lack of ability.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

What’s peoples problem with sleeping on the floor.

Completely fucks my back up, for starters

funny, I grew up hearing that sleeping flat on the floor is good for your back.

likely bs, just funny

My back does so much better on the floor than a fancy mattress. Everyone is different.

His hands are sexy

The fleshlight in the corner almost escaped my notice

[-] sdfric88@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 6 days ago

Incredible, thank you I hadn't noticed

I mean, to be fair, I get that this is a joke... But I look at all the shit in my flat I think 90% of this is clutter. I'm still trying to get rid of my sofa, but it's hard to do for cheap when I don't drive.

I've seen so many flats full of so many little tchotchkes and doodads and superfluous whatevers, and it sort of makes me feel that some people decorate their homes for other people - which is absolutely fine - whereas some people decorate their homes for themselves - which is also fine.

Nothing wrong with a simple life. Maybe get a stand for the fleshlight though, I feel like it would pick up dirt and dust and hair from the carpet like that. 🫡

[-] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Man, learning my house should be for me is something I wish I'd known sooner.

For years I had a spare bedroom that was barely used, maybe slept in 15 nights a year.

I had it only because I felt like that's the normal thing to do if you have a space for a spare room. That's what people expect of you.

Meanwhile I'm doing soldering projects on my kitchen table as the only suitable surface in the house, shoving resistors and electronic components out of the way every evening so I can make space to eat.

And then I finally realised, I need to prioritise my utility, not that of other people. I have a massive couch - when a friend wants to stay over they can sleep on there, and be perfectly comfortable!

So I donated the spare bed to charity, turned the room into a space for projects with a huge desk, and I'm so much happier for it.

That's a fleshlight by his bed, isn't it?

Don't worry, he rinses it off before he uses it each time

If I still had the opportunity to meet women, they'd see this

Big mistake, buy them after Halloween when they're on clearance

It's wild how many men were outright offended at this on reddit.

edit: or perhaps AI instances pretending to be men. What kind of world are we leaving to our granddroids? We need to set a better example for the chatbots we're leaving this world to.

[-] LadyAutumn 6 points 6 days ago

Granddroids is incredible, I love it

[-] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Nah, if they’re getting offended, it’s probably actual dumbfucks. Makes sense though. The comic is accurate, although someone who looks like Chad there is probably gonna have a lot nicer apartment.

Edit: accidentally miswrote the last sentence.

Gotta get the mattress off the floor so the spiders don't come to cuddle at night.

And maybe a houseplant for atmosphere.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

But the spiders eat the bedbugs?

Sounds like something Dear Modern would say XD

Other than "m'lady," I fail to see a problem...

[-] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 60 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Trying to frame his slobbishness as "minimalism". Prioritizing a games console and immature Naruto poster over bed sheets. Fleshlight just left out on the floor. Boasting about his apartment when there's less than nothing there.

[-] Eq0@literature.cafe 25 points 1 week ago

The lack of bedsheets really gets to me, more than anything else. I’m okay with minimalism, but sleeping on the same fabric all the time without being able to clean it… not great.

Minimalism would reduce the wires. Push the TV and console against the wall to hide the cords.
