    I’m too old to be getting down on the fucking ground like that. Needs a frame of cinder blocks and plywood.

      You should do that anyways. Bed frames exost for a reason: it helps to stop moisture building up on the underside of the mattress, and thus prevents mold.

        Pfft. Just buy a new mattress and put it in a different place

        To be fair, air mattresses are like shittier futons and don’t get moldy because you’re always moving them around.

        Source: I used to live with this setup, only in a smaller room.

          there are teensy tiny municipally-owned apartments available in a city near me for like 200€ per month and i’m absolutely planning to get one if i ever get an income, they’re so smol that the “kitchen” is a recessed wardrobe with a sink and like 2 hotplates, which honestly considering how we have perfectly decent bags of frozen meals that you can just toss in a pot for 10 minutes is perfectly acceptable for a single-person household!

      Ain’t no home without enough open space for all kinds of push ups! If you’re daring, you could even do other exercises too!

        Well, for starters, a bed frame. Lamps for better lighting, an couple night stands, something to divide up the space a bit (assuming this is a studio), book shelves, some plants, some art on the walls, an area rug, table and chairs, and a couple couches and a coffee table, some kind of speaker system, some kind of storage system for any equipment I own for job and hobbies. I also like wooden desks.

        Like, the environment you spend time in has an impact on your mental state. Making that environment nice will make you feel better. The way your living space looks also says a lot about you. What this space says is “I literally do nothing but sleep and look at a computer screen”. Which is less “hell yeah” and more “this cyberpunk dystopia isnt as neon as I expected.”

        So if this is what you want, then follow your bliss I guess. But also, if you are having trouble dating… Look around you.

      And tomorrow they’ll post a picture of a 10,000$ gaming setup with LEDs and shit and claim that women can’t possibly understand spending a ton of money on furniture and decorations.

      Not to mention that this joke has been done to death. For years pictures of empty rooms with a matress have been posted to claim that “this is what men want”. (Until next week, when we’ll post a picture of a gaming room full of expensive furniture and elaborate decorations and claim that THIS is what men want, actually, for real, I swear.)

    Low carbon footprint living gets way more hate than it should (and it shouldn’t get any).

    It is just missing a cinder block nightstand and a dead plastic plant to tie the place together.

    It’s a bit much for me, as I’d want the mattress more elevated, but let me tell you, I am 99% sure I have adhd, and minimalism like this appeals to me so it’s less shit I have take care of, every item in your house is a fucking dust collector that you have to wipe down, fuck that shit, I only want the absolute essentials, rest is slowly going to the bin

    To be fair, some women would say that too. There’s so much room to build stuff and do projects! I could get so fucking irresponsible!
