    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 morshupls

      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. wojak-nooo

          Feeling something strongly, no matter strongly, doesn’t make your subjective opinion about people you don’t like into a fact. You’re contaminating the definition of “fact” just by being that enraged about people that you disagree with. expert-shapiro

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
