The only thing really wrong with this picture is how far off the wall the mattress is.. how many times during the night does this bloke need to pick his pillow back up
Kind of, but on the other hand people (male, I believe) are openly agreeing with it ITT and apparently find it funny.
There are no stereotypes in memes. Never ever
Also, in your bio, speaking of stereotypes:
No sense arguing with tankies. Every take I’ve seen from hexbear itt is absolute brainrot, and I can’t wait until we can block entire instances.
People don't choose to be whatever gender they are, but they do choose whether to use hexbear or not
back when my room was like this, the bros used to joke about "grabbing some carpet" like any other seat
but it's just five hungover dudes laying in front of a futon with lotr or forest gump on again
simpler times boys
I had a mattress that I had directly on a cement floor in a basement. That was an expensive mistake. The mattress retained moisture because it couldn't breath, contributing to it collapsing. A basic bed frame is cheap, makes the room look nicer, and provides extra storage space underneath.
I've been having some fun with my current setup. I have a bed, nightstand, desk, dresser, and closet in one room. It's maybe a little cozy, but functional as long as I put some thought into it. I even have a nice space in the middle that I can pretend I use to work out in.
I think the idealization of this kind of spartan living space is basically the same as the cryptobro idealization of unregulated currency.
Over time exposure to reality will result in making compromise after compromise to solve each problem that arises until you have reinvented from first principles the very same standards that everyone else in society already arrived at.
I get where you're coming from, especially when it's something like OP's post where it's just a bed and some junk. But there's a difference between spartan and efficient. A spartan setup doesn't provide much functionality beyond the basics (sleep, clothing). An efficient setup might take reworking, but it squeezes a multitude of uses into a small to medium sized room.
Once, I used a bunch of plastic storage bins as a bedframe. Properly elevated bed, plus a lot of storage.
I would also be worried about them trapping moisture. Bed slats provide a nice gap for moisture to escape to.
What for? You can sit on the floor, you can put your things on the floor, wait you can eat on the floor too? Great!
Oh, it’s silly stereotype time? I’ll play!
Whoever made this is just mad that the bed isn’t covered in $50 throw pillows.
Under capitalism, yes.
Under socialism? Men would all be spending their new free time learning woodworking and making gigantic overengineered furniture out of oak and mahogany.
Look at this fatcat using a water bottle! You can drink perfectly fine water from the tap. Don't even need a cup if you put your palms together.
I see no game console, so I can't say this is true. There's also like a few cans of any beverage and a few cups of noodles missing from this picture.
If it weren't for women we'd still be in caves, sleeping on hay with a rock for a pillow... and it would be amazing!
No need for anything if you aren't at home most of the time.
That or let's see that Gaming setup as you know that has some comfy shit.
Replace the gun with a bong and the water for a bottle of Jim Beam small batch and you've got my room when I was in my 20s.
Ngl gonna lie thats feels like a great way to live. Need more space? Just lean the mattress on the wall!
Literally my apartment when I was making 6 figures. Women be like “I don’t date poor dudes”. I’m like “lol just because I don’t blow my entire paycheck on Barre, Whole Foods, and shitty brand new apartment with paper thin walls doesn’t make me poor”
Rather it is because you don't do those things that you are not. I personally still like to have at least a box spring, but for the most part my bedroom is, well, a room that I put my bed in. I don't understand the need for $1,000 of pillows that we aren't allowed to actually sleep with overly fancy blankets that look nice in a photo but aren't anywhere near as comfortable as a cheap down blanket at Costco.
Don't get me wrong I do enjoy things looking nice, but there has to be some value to the item other than just it looks nicer. Function over form ideally function with form but in the bedroom form rarely follows function
