The fleshlight in the corner almost escaped my notice

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Yeah I didn't see it until it looked at this picture a third time. I didn't realize at first that this is actually Adam Ellis cause the art style is so different than his usual stuff.

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. 🫡

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.

You could always set up the spare room as a hobby space that also has a bed. That's what I did with my spare room.

Alternatively to that, you could also just have a cot folded and tucked away

Actually, a little hair on the fleshlight makes it more realistic, fyi.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Minimalism isn't the same as laziness or unseriousness, which is what the comic is making fun of, the way a lot of guys especially are so unable to take anything seriously that they don't know how to even go into a target and pick out a nightstand and a lamp.

You can get by with very few possessions, and should, but you still need to take enough pride in your living space that you are doing it with intentionality and focus on the essentials, which again, isn't the same as "I can make do."

If your getting rid of sofa. Just break it up with a hammer and saw into small pieces and send it out a bit at a time with the regular trash.

[-] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah, just like how Jeffrey Dahmer did it.

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

I thought cats cant eat m&ms isn't this horribly dangerous

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

I make a special type of M&M, like kopi luak coffee. I only harvest the M&Ms that make it out the cat intact. Wanna try?

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.

Minimalism is a ploy by big small to sell more less

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

This should be graffitid on a wall somewhere

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 week ago

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

And maybe a houseplant for atmosphere.

looks like we found the dude who hates friendly cuddles.

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.

[-] cley_faye@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Little did you know, he have ten mattresses in a second room, that cycles regularly and are steam cleaned. Maybe.

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

[-] yakko@feddit.uk 20 points 1 week ago

The zen atmosphere got so intense he couldn't spend even thirty seconds tidying

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

At least make the bed you heathen.

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

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No lie detected!

What's the point of that "nightstand" box besides his bed, though? He should use it as a TV stand.

Ew, he's poor! /s

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

[-] 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.

[-] Rooster326@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

Better be running Linux on that Console for the minimalist approach.
