I thought cats cant eat m&ms isn't this horribly dangerous

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 10 points 22 hours ago

I make a special type of M&M, like kopi luak coffee. I only harvest the M&Ms that make it out the cat intact. Wanna try?

The fleshlight in the corner almost escaped my notice

It's wild how many men were outright offended at this on reddit.

edit: or perhaps AI instances pretending to be men. What kind of world are we leaving to our granddroids? We need to set a better example for the chatbots we're leaving this world to.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Nah, if they’re getting offended, it’s probably actual dumbfucks. Makes sense though. The comic is accurate, although someone who looks like Chad there is probably gonna have a lot nicer apartment.

Edit: accidentally miswrote the last sentence.

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 19 hours ago

Granddroids is incredible, I love it

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

What is the offensive part?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (4 children)

A lot of the young men who frequent larger sites like reddit feel very sensitive to what they perceive as criticism of men broadly, or have spent so much time reading man-o-sphere victimization porn that they see even mild jokes like this as misandry and hate and why women won't touch their weewee and cook them tendies.

Source: used to mod a large gender-related subreddit, it's even worse than you can imagine.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm a bit flabbergasted just, is the gripe that this guy has hooked up with a girl? That it has the gaul to portray how intersex relations used to be?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Oh, I can guarantee that there is no small share of young incellish guys who have their crippling insecurity triggered every time they see even loosely-drawn cartoon characters hooking up.

I know because I used to have to deal with those fucks while moderating that cursed place.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 points 3 hours ago

That's really sad. I wish I could show them how to get out even though that's exactly what the manosphere grifters prey on

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I used to live like this, but it would never in a million years have occurred to me that criticism of that lifestyle would be the problem rather than the lifestyle itself. I was always fully aware of how fucked-up and indefensible it was.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Welcome to the second quarter of the millenium. The motto here is "You have no need to change as long as there's a community who supports you."

I mean, if Asmondgold can be one of the most popular people in the world, I am pretty sure there is no such thing as the word "indefensible" anymore.

Gotta get the mattress off the floor so the spiders don't come to cuddle at night.

And maybe a houseplant for atmosphere.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (6 children)

looks like we found the dude who hates friendly cuddles.

I mean, to be fair, I get that this is a joke... But I look at all the shit in my flat I think 90% of this is clutter. I'm still trying to get rid of my sofa, but it's hard to do for cheap when I don't drive.

I've seen so many flats full of so many little tchotchkes and doodads and superfluous whatevers, and it sort of makes me feel that some people decorate their homes for other people - which is absolutely fine - whereas some people decorate their homes for themselves - which is also fine.

Nothing wrong with a simple life. Maybe get a stand for the fleshlight though, I feel like it would pick up dirt and dust and hair from the carpet like that. 🫡

Man, learning my house should be for me is something I wish I'd known sooner.

For years I had a spare bedroom that was barely used, maybe slept in 15 nights a year.

I had it only because I felt like that's the normal thing to do if you have a space for a spare room. That's what people expect of you.

Meanwhile I'm doing soldering projects on my kitchen table as the only suitable surface in the house, shoving resistors and electronic components out of the way every evening so I can make space to eat.

And then I finally realised, I need to prioritise my utility, not that of other people. I have a massive couch - when a friend wants to stay over they can sleep on there, and be perfectly comfortable!

So I donated the spare bed to charity, turned the room into a space for projects with a huge desk, and I'm so much happier for it.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You could always set up the spare room as a hobby space that also has a bed. That's what I did with my spare room.

Alternatively to that, you could also just have a cot folded and tucked away

Minimalism isn't the same as laziness or unseriousness, which is what the comic is making fun of, the way a lot of guys especially are so unable to take anything seriously that they don't know how to even go into a target and pick out a nightstand and a lamp.

You can get by with very few possessions, and should, but you still need to take enough pride in your living space that you are doing it with intentionality and focus on the essentials, which again, isn't the same as "I can make do."

What's peoples problem with sleeping on the floor. I want to upgrade my futon to a Japanese futon so I can fold it up when I'm not using it. Though I'm definitely weird, my back does not like any support

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

Problem is humidity under your mattress. Japanese daily move the mattress so they don't have that problem.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

It's fine when you're young.

When you get older, the ability to roll your feet off the bed and easily stand up is clutch.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Most mattresses require ventilation.

That dude doesn't even own a top sheet. That's disgusting.

Bet if you lifted it, you'd smell straight ass and see mold.

I did that a lot, one advantage of a bedframe is the storage you get underneath.
