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. ๐Ÿซก

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.

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

I thought long and hard about the best approach, but that just wasn't feasible.

My couch may be big, but the house in general is very small, and is 120 years old so it comes with architectural oddities and features that must be worked around.

The room in question has a chimney breast against one long wall, at one side of which is a built-in wardrobe which also houses my central heating boiler and plumbing, and at the other side of which are integrated shelves and storage.

Of the other three walls, the room is quite narrow, so the "short ends" (one of which has the window anyway) are too short to do anything with, leaving only one wall left to go at - which also has the door on it, further cutting down on usable space.

So it was really a choice - a bed, or a desk.

My couch genuinely is comfy to sleep on though. You can lie totally flat on it even if you're six-foot-some :)

Hell yes, friend. And off you aren't already, apply that to everything and everyone in your life!

After living in a mostly untouched house for over a decade, now in the past few years I've been going nuts making it suit the personalities and habits of my family.

In my case, I think the old bullshit attitude was driven both by our hyper capitalist greedy individualistic conservative culture (why yes I'm in the USA) and wholesome traditional catholic guilt and self-denial.

How truly fucked it is that we live in a world where people will limit their life experiences in their own home for decades, just so that they can believe that after they die their home sells for 10% more.

Meanwhile I'm over here having my back yard turned into an active construction site all year, but that hasn't hurt the enjoyment of my family or my numerous pets, and the next decade in that yard is going to be awesome.

Maybe this is a language barrier, I genuinely don't understand what is "unserious" about not having a bedside table/lamp. I haven't had nor have I needed or missed a bedside table/lamp in four years.

What does the apartment feel like?

Attached image 1

. GPT-4o mini

The apartment depicted in the comic feels cluttered and chaotic. There's a strong sense of disorganization, with items scattered everywhere, including snacks, cat toys, and miscellaneous clutter. Atmosphere

  • Messy and Chaotic: The floor is covered in wrappers and other things, suggesting neglect in tidiness.
  • Casual and Comfortable: The presence of the relaxed man in a worn shirt and surrounded by cats indicates a laid-back environment, perhaps too comfortable to worry about cleaning.

Elements

  • Multiple Cats: Indicates that the space is homey, though the presence of several cats might contribute to the mess.
  • Dim Lighting: The overall ambiance suggests a lack of bright, inviting colors, creating a more subdued and somewhat gloomy feel.

Overall, the apartment feels lived-in and a bit eccentric, characterized by a blend of comfort and chaos.

I tried Gemini:

This comic strip is a joke based on the contrast between a character's description of his apartment and what it actually looks like.

In the first panel, a man is inviting a woman into his apartment, claiming he is "super into minimalism" and has a "zen atmosphere." He is setting up an expectation for a clean, stylish, and uncluttered living space.

The second panel reveals the interior of the apartment, which is sparsely furnished but messy. The room contains a mattress on the floor, a single chair, a television, and a poster of the anime Naruto on the wall. The humor comes from the fact that his apartment is not a curated, minimalist space, but rather a simple room that just happens to have very little furniture. The presence of the Naruto poster is also a visual joke, as it contrasts with the "zen atmosphere" he described. The man is likely misinterpreting being a minimalist with simply having very few possessions.

Not bad but probably burned way more coal in the process>

This comic plays with expectations in a clever, visual punchline. The woman expresses her love for minimalism and zen design, setting up an image of sleek, curated interiors. But when they enter the man's apartment, it's minimalism in the most literalโ€”and hilariously underwhelmingโ€”sense: a bare mattress, a lawn chair, and a single poster of cartoonish musclemen.

The humor hinges on the contrast between aesthetic minimalism and practical minimalism. Itโ€™s a wink at how people interpret trends differently, and maybe a gentle roast of bachelor pads everywhere. If youโ€™re into visual storytelling or comic timing, this one nails it with just two panels. Want to explore more comics with this kind of humor or dig into minimalist design tropes?

The lack of bedsheets really gets to me, more than anything else. Iโ€™m okay with minimalism, but sleeping on the same fabric all the time without being able to clean itโ€ฆ not great.

You did notice more detail than I did. My critique was just based on: Mattress on the floor (not bad in any way). TV and game console, if that's important to you. (I don't have either, but I don't hate).

I did not look closely enough to see the cringe.

Mattresses on the floor go mouldy underneath. The main point of a bed frame is air flow, the secondary point of them is to make you not look like a slob.

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

Bro if you wanna live like youโ€™re camping in a tent fine but donโ€™t expect people to like it. I mean not even a sheet? Nothing? How does he wash it? If you canโ€™t even wash the top the layer why on earth should anyone want to sleep on it? At least with the Japanese futon, if you do it right, it can look nice and purposeful but even then you should have real sheets for it and it can be rolled up, unlike this thing. I know someone who does the futon thing and their place is actually pretty nice and purposeful, not cobbled together garbage.

Even brand new an Ikea Tarva frame just isnโ€™t that expensive and itโ€™s nice, solid wood. I replaced the legs with $8 of 2x2 from Home depot so itโ€™s nice and tall for me since Iโ€™m tall and hate having to get UP out of bed.

The biggest reason, of course, is because it almost always comes with an overarching theme of disgusting living habits. Itโ€™s not great on its own but when it brings all its dirty-ass friends youโ€™re in for a bad time.

How many assumptions am I making? Everyone Iโ€™ve known to sleep with a mattress on the floor is at least minorly gross, and I made exceptions for a properly used Japanese futon.

And as far as the guy in the comic is concerned itโ€™s got that energy of those dudes who go on social media and proudly claim that itโ€™s โ€œnormalโ€ to shit their pants and have dirty skid-marked underwear. Itโ€™s not โ€œminimalismโ€ if itโ€™s less of a choice and more a complete lack of ability.

I'm older and experienced and can say with confidence that no, most women are not into literal bodybuilder guys. Some, surely. But most? No. Ideal is in shape but not obsessive, bodybuilder looks obsessive.

And the wyvern is correct IMO it is the same as the absolutely jacked women. Most guys are not into bodybuilder ladies, probably for the same reason.

Fitness looks good on everyone. Obsession with getting big muscles, doping, extreme builds are not mainstream attractive. That has gone past general health and fitness.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. *๏ฟฝ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. *๏ฟฝ๏ธ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. *๏ฟฝ Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. *๏ฟฝ๏ธ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. *๏ฟฝ Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      โœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      โŒ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. *๏ฟฝ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 ๐Ÿ–) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 ๐Ÿ–) will be removed.
  7. *๏ฟฝโ€โ˜ ๏ธ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sรญ, por favor [Spanish/Espaรฑol]
  8. *๏ฟฝ Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
