Tv is mounted too low. Get a few milk crates and put that bad boy at eye level so you don't strain your neck.

[-] li10@lemmy.ml 43 points 9 months ago

Fuck that, just get rid of the chair and sit on the floor.

[-] CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 9 months ago

Or if he wants to get fancy, get a mini-fridge to put the TV on. Then he also has somewhere to put the beer.

[-] Pirky@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I was thinking he could splurge on a folding table for a little extra utility.

[-] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Maybe he sit on the chair head down.

[-] mathematicalMagpie@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Just pile up some old pizza boxes for a stand.

[-] CoolBeance@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

No need for milk crates, just take out all of the beer and use the carton as the stand then lean the TV against the wall. Put the chair in its lowest setting and you're good

If the carton is too flimsy, down a couple beers and put them in the carton standing up on both sides

[-] Dagamant@lemmy.world 52 points 9 months ago

Beer should be closer to the chair when TV is in use

[-] alessergod@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago

Seconded. Beer within reach of chair

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 40 points 9 months ago

I am not a man but the chair is unnecessary and possible health hazard to your neck as you’ll be looking down to stare at tv. I suggest getting an air mattress instead.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago

My rating is: neck pain.

[-] sverit@feddit.de 29 points 9 months ago

Only picture in the world /r/tvtoohigh would have nothing to complain about.

[-] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

If he's committed to the chair, it's going to be rolling around with the slightest movement when it's just on a wooden floor like that. He should put a tasteful towel underneath it to add some friction.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago

Given the context, you probably meant "tasteful towel" quite literally, but I enjoy the thought of referring to all carpets as tasteful towels. 🙃

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

That angle is gonna hurt your neck. Just get a beanbag chair

[-] Lemonparty@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

Okay seriously what the fuck are even you thinking bro? How can you live like this?

...you gotta put a rug or something under those casters or you're gonna slide down the block every time you try to sit down.

9.4/10

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Just get yourself a $20 folding table and you're all set

Oh man, I forgot about those days. When I got my first apartment it was a real wakeup call for how many things I had always taken for granted. Even just little things that you never had to think about before. Clothes hangers, clothing irons, wash cloths, spoons! All of those have to be purchased. I made a TV stand out of cinder blocks and a board, and then I realized I didn't even have a TV. I bought a cat piss couch for $35 and rented a rug doctor to clean it. I found a dining room table and chairs in an alley and carried them 2 blocks home and washed them off with the hose outside. I had no electronic entertainment, and this was before smart phones, so I would sit at my table that I found in the alley, drink beer, and solve a 1000 piece puzzle. It didn't really matter much, because I was all about socializing and partying back then. I rarely spent time at home alone. Those first few adult years are pretty cool, in a desperate and inventive sort of way.

[-] AbsurdityAccelerator@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

A TV mount can be bought for less than that case of beer.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

It says they moved in today. I'm guessing the place they got the beer from was closer and or easier to resolve. Maybe next week they'll get around to it haha

[-] Ekybio@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Most divorced Dad Vibes

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

chair too high for eye level, sit on floor.

[-] Muscle_Meteor@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 9 months ago

8/10 TV should be bigger

[-] oldfart@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

I would put the TV on the fireplace, other than that it's perfect

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Is this is sarcasm

Or are you paid by Big Chiropractor^TM

[-] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago

well.... now this is.... podracing?

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

Needs something stacked under the TV to avoid neck pain. Otherwise all is good, and I approve of the case of Belgian Moon specifically

[-] emptyother@programming.dev 6 points 9 months ago

High life? Nah, go low-life/high-tech instead and replace both the screen and your chair with VR glasses. Saves a lot on apartment maintenance too!

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago

Tilt the screen up then it's not bad. I do r8 the Mario Kart 8, gr8 choice m8.

Belgian/Blue Moon is OK, you can't really win with American beer brands, but I'd think the occasion would call for something more special, a local craft or import.

[-] kinther@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Needs a few more blue moon cases to prop the TV up. Otherwise 8/10

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

I'd put the TV on the mantle, other than that 8/10.

[-] Creddit@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Barter the chair for a cooler, sit on cooler, receive cold beers.

[-] ForestOrca@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

Now, your using your noggin'.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Great start!
I would put the monitor on a box, so you can lean back in the chair and put your feet up

[-] Lux 4 points 9 months ago

Dont listen to the haters. If its good enough for you, its good enough

[-] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

They hate how little it takes for us to ~~be happy~~ distract ourselves.

[-] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

I make 50L of Blue Moon for $170 Cad, store bought shit is hella overpriced

[-] kubica@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Not so good, the rest of the computer is missing, sorry.

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago

Assuming there is TP where it should be, perfection:-).

[-] PatMustard@feddit.uk 3 points 9 months ago
[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

The choice of beer is a little bit bow de bow de dag de dag dag, TV's not bad for yoru first rig, Mario Kart is a good move; there's a whole genre of chicks who have "I'll beat you in Mario Kart" on their dating profiles. Need some milk crates to go under that TV before your chin welds to your chest. Otherwise carry on citizen.

[-] RandomStickman@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

A rare tvtoolow 6/10 cool chair

[-] Thranduil@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Screen should be on chair to avoid neckpain. Sit on the floor

[-] Thief_of_Crows@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Blue moon is a terrible choice if you intend to have more than half of one. Just get a loaf of bread and dip it in a keystone Ice, it'll taste better and have less wheat.
