Look at Mr big shot with his box, just use 2 milk crates you stole from the shops.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ooh look at Mr Moneybags with his two crates. Us poors are over here with our plebian cardboard we pulled from a dumpster while you're living it up with your latticed plastic.

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oooh, look at Mr Fancy over here, i just sat on the floor to fix the problem

[–] aldhissla@piefed.world 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oooh lookie here at Mr "I have a floor because I don't live in a hole". Must be nice with all that foundation to flaunt.

silence from the poor Souls that do not have Internet to contribute to this hilarious Jab and find Joy by watching Grass grow

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Oh la di da, look at this captain of industry with his "grass" and his "joy". Some of us get by on momentary distraction by a passing cloud.

Yep. Raise the TV to eye level. Then there are no remaining problems with this setup.

Couple of beercases would fix that!

Some cobblestones from the nearby cobblestone street?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yep. That must be really uncomfortable.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Nope.

According to the tv too high people, this is clearly too high.

It should be about a foot into the floor for proper neck strain.

[–] ToiletFlushShowerScream@piefed.world 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No game console of course, that’s what’s wrong.

[–] D1re_W0lf@piefed.social 12 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I was going to say “no gaming pc” but let’s not get picky.

The TV should be a bit higher so it's easier to view while laying back in the seat.

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was going to say the box that the TV came in but whatever works

[–] someguy7734206@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's too thin and wouldn't raise it high enough.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 10 points 2 months ago

Put it upright and balance your brand new tv precariously on a thin piece of cardboard.

Only problem is that the TV is too low, needs to be on a cardboard box

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, absolutely not. This is horrible beyond measures. Who made this? Satan?

The TV surely needs some refrigerator-box it could stand on, it's way too low. Barbarians...

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

after a couple of weeks of factor meals you'll have enough boxes

The beers are getting warm

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

There are 7 cans on the floor, not counting the open one. A .5l can of beer warms by 10..15 degrees in about half an hour. If the tempo is set to 15 minutes a can, by the middle of the stack you'll get 3..4 cans of piss warm beer.

So realistically to get all of them chill, you need to do at the pace of 5..7 minutes a can. Can be done of you're into turning your evening into a sporting event.

The TV is ugly low though.

The TV is too low

Other than that, go nuts lol

EDIT: Oh, damn! We all said the same thing about the TV. Like Jerry Smith in the Jerry Daycare episode. I am become dad, destroyer of factory settings

There's a console missing.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was thinking a box was missing. I'm not looking down at my tv, get a few from the liquor store, they're stronger

Anyone can see that the tv needs a milk carton under it

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What's with the fancy-pants la-de-dah white cushion? Is the chairs own cushioning not good enough?

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's a pillow. This is probably also his bed.

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, it looks like a bed pillow with no pillow case, it gets a pass.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

Efficient. I like it.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

My lesbian mom lived like that for years after her separation

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I bought into the lifestyle creep at some point, and became convinced that my house had to be filled with house things. Let me tell you, it's no more cozier than what's pictured in the meme.

[–] Slab_Bulkhead@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

lol both sides are wack imo

TV too high

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For now that mantle would be a better place for that tv, assuming it can be sagely placed there.

Otherwise, a box, or lawn chair would be good base for the TV

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Drink beers to construct tv stand over time. It’s motivation, sense of accomplishment, and being goal oriented.

Ew. Using the built-in "smart TV" stuff.

Flip everything towards the fireplace and put the tv on the mantle then BOOM!...redecorated.

[–] FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Then the tv will be too high

sounds like work

[–] kivihiili@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

while at a first glance you may conjecture that nothing is particularly out of the ordinary, the glow of the cherenkov radiation seen behind the television is a telltale sign of this apartment being flooded with water. the beer cans lack any meaningful thickness of insulation, and making the assumption that the water is of adequate temperature for the habitation of warm blooded creatures, the beer will thus warm rapidly.

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Order a TV wall mount you savage.

Then put the TV on top of it. Raises it up about 4 inches. Perfect.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

Needs a cooler for the beer.

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

makes cleaning so easy....lol, we don't clean

[–] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago
