HES GOT THE BONGOS
My thoughts exactly! This man is living the dream!
I guess I am too old, my first thought when I see this picture is “my poor back”. 😂
Yeah, my response was “needs a comfy seat, something to put the TV on so it’s eye level, and something to put the pizza and drink on so they’re within arm’s reach”.
But otherwise this is peak. I had a space in my parent’s basement like this with an old couch and dresser that had been headed to the dump, along with the big family CRT when they upgraded to LCD. Add some Bionicle and other Lego to fidget with and inject that nostalgia into my veins.
Well, that’s just showing our mileage.
My current setup holds this spirit but does add some back support.
I’m in my thirties so I too crave this scenario but what I really wanna talk about is the amount of people mentioning sitting on the floor hurting their back. Sedentary lifestyles and/or the constant push for more labor has wiped out something humanity has done for thousands of years.
I feel weird for fixating on this but it’s a little sad a lot of people are losing the ability to just sit on some grass and exist
Stop posting pictures of my college apartment.
Dude sprang for the WaveBird and what I assume is delivery pizza, how many more luxuries should he have?
This is what happiness looks like.
Give me a beanbag chair and we’re in business
Man, I wish my life were that simple again.
That looks so fucking relaxing, like I have nothing to do for the rest of the evening, and no pressing concerns as I sip my chocolate milk.
Only thing I would change: out that TV on a milk crate so your neck isnt strained even more than it is from sitting on the floor.
But when we were young and had set ups like this we also had invincible bodies.
Or rather, what felt at the time to be invincible bodies. Now I’m at the part of life where the bill for that comes due.
I threw my back out the other day… By turning over in bed.
The old joke about wondering how you can “sleep wrong” and then finding out.
ITT: A lot of guys going “Ah man this was first days in my first apartment out on my own. Good times.”
Chocolate milk, GameCube, and me!
+1 for Pokemon Colosseum.
Isn’t that like the black sheep of Pokémon games? And one of my favorites: I’m feeling majorly nostalgic RN.
Another +1 for a wireless GC controller. This is a man of sophistication and culture.
Not a fan of carpet flooring but otherwise livible

I’ve never lived in a flat/house with carpet floors. Always tiles, wood floors, pvc, vinyl, linoleum or wood laminate. I don’t think I’ve ever visited a home with carpet flooring. The only places I know it from is hotels and videos of really old run down ruins that need to be ripped apart and renovated from the base.
It gives me the ick, I feel like they’re always dirty and dusty. Normally I’m not squeamish, but I just don’t feel comfortable on carpet flooring. I’ve grown up washing my floors wet or swiping. It just doesn’t fit into my head. However, laying a spatially limited carpet on a hard floor is beautiful.
There. I tried.
Sweeping the floor is cheaper and can be done at any hour, walking on old carpet especially kicks up dust and even after vacuuming it feels kind of gross (probably because I know it hasn’t been washed). Non-carpet floors are also easier to actually clean (or just wipe up spills etc), at least where I am where the air isn’t super-dry.
I’m with them, a throw rug would be fine so long as you can still pick it up to clean it elsewhere. Though I’d still rather just use a broom.
Also, cold floors doesn’t bother me but wearing socks/slippers instead is a nice option.
carpet holds on to pollen and pet dander more than hardwood or tile. This would be my personal reasoning.
I agree with him only because I’ve seen what lives in and beneath carpet. Even fastidious folks can’t truly clean it well enough, and they definitely can’t keep the moisture from collecting beneath it.

Or live in an area with decent humidity. I’ve helped renovate a few houses of friends, slobs and clean freaks, and they all had an incredible amount of growth beneath the padding material. The slob obviously had it worse, and you could tell where they had spilled liquids like soda.
Yeah pizza and chocolate milk sounds fucking gross.
Don’t knock it til you try it.
floor clean enough to eat off of with no extra clutter?
