I think this is less “male” and more “poverty”.
You can probably find a used nightstand for free easier than finding/buying those blocks to haul to your apartment.
An iPhone and an MagSafe charger is not poverty …
First thought in a male brain seeing this: “wow, practical”.
Then i saw the text.
My first thought was : that is a stout table, not going anywhere, modular , hmm 🤔
“Modular storage system. Our proprietary ceramic material comes from natural mineral and reclaimed resources. Modern industrial aesthetic leverages influences from brutalist architecture. Available as individual components or engineered systems. Call to schedule a consultation.”
Wow great product!Where do I buy ? Should I DM you my CC info now !?
I scraped my knuckles just looking at that
Everything seemed fine until I saw the Zyn stand.
What is that? I mean, is see the two blue things on the wall, but I never heared the term. Is it something American?
Nicotine poaches, tobacco less.
Uhg, that means… that cup is his spit container, the fresh water is in the bottle.
Nicotine pouches you swallow flavored saliva, no spitting. So its a cup for water and the jug would be for piss.
Nah no spitting with zyns
Oh well that’s nice. I guess
Yeah, seriously, make that in wood and it would be a hit.
The most popular shelves are just a bunch of cubes, one side open, slapped together.
There is no fucking way I’m keeping a bedside table like that. Specifically a bedside table.
How the hell am I gonna show people my room politely with vibrators, lube, condoms, rope, spanking paddles, rope & a hitachi wand hanging out fuck all that lol
Showing…people your…room? Why would you do that?
I don’t know, it seems pretty normal to sometimes have a platonic friend or family member in my room?
I don’t wanna be like “no stay out” sometimes I want advice on what to wear or a second pair of eyes to look for something.
Also, some people live in studio apartments… or have kids…
Don’t even need to remake much. Just put a slab of wood in the middle and on top.
thats a good looking house plant.
F
Amazing brutalist aesthetic
It’s quite clever until you stub your toe on it at 4am.
Would it hurt anymore than a normal bedside table though?
Yes
Probably since it’s not smooth, so you’d also cut yourself
Wood might flex a bit and absorb the impact, making it hurt a bit less. Concrete won’t.
You just described furniture. And doors. And pets. And cars. And bridges. And…
Do you often stub your toe on bridges at four in the morning?
I’m telling ya, it’s a fucking minefield out there. At 4am? Doubly so.
Jesus could you imagine stubbing your toe on that in the middle of the night
Well, for one thing, I’d not be walking into that wall anyway.
I like it except would definitely have to put those little round felt pads for chair feet under it to protect the floor.
And pad the corners for my elbows!
The zyn hanging on the wall says everything I need to know about this person.
And multiple cans on a Velcro strip as if immediate and redundant access to them was necessary.
Zyn people sleep with zyn inside them. Redundant access is necessary
What though?
Everything.
This guys a damn genius
Ah yes, concrete dust everywhere in my bedroom… delicious.
The zyn counteracts the silicosis : /
If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid.
Looks heavy. Could have probably gotten a much lighter side table for free from a sorting facility, or give aways over 2nd stuff websites.
Of course you can do better, but still better than nothing.
Maxim 43 would like a word.
What’s wrong with this?
I have problems with it.
For one, all the edges are scratchy. You run the risk of roughing your hands every time you reach in to get stuff.
For another, I (and my boyfriend, who I had the urge to spritz with a bottle of water when I saw this out of reflex) have ADHD, which is rough for proprioception. In other words, we aren’t so great at judging the relationship in space between ourselves and furniture, and bang into it a lot. In other words, when we inevitably punch this cinderblock trying to reach in to grab something, or bang a hand down on it just trying to reach for a phone, we’re going to skin our hands and that’s blood we don’t need on random surfaces.
Finally, as someone else pointed out, when we inevitably bang our feet on it, now we’re lookin’ at a broken toe.
(For the record, I told the boyfriend I saw this and almost spritzed him with water, and he laughed.)
Is your boyfriend a cat
Is your boyfriend a cat
No but I’m so used to the cat that the instinct is to spritz bad behavior with water.
Well, I can see how it could be problematic for people with those issues. I do have issues but not those, so I didn’t see a problem.
It’s something to keep in mind if you have clumsy friends or in case you might get a clumsy boyfriend or girlfriend. Or in case you drink sometimes.
For me it’s the smell
