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

That's a pillow. This is probably also his bed.
TV too low
Couple of beercases would fix that!
Or a dirt pile
Yep. That must be really uncomfortable.
The beers are getting warm
Drink faster
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, that's right.
What if they have underfloor cooling/heating? Maybe it is cranked down and keeping the beer mildly cool
Underfloor cooling is really rare (basically never used) because if you cool the floor to near/below the dew point, you'll get water condensing on it.
Normally you want that water condensing somewhere with a good drain, so you get dehumidification too.
makes cleaning so easy....lol, we don't clean
The TV should be a bit higher so it's easier to view while laying back in the seat. Go find a construction site and snag yourself an empty cable spool to use as a table.
I was going to say the box that the TV came in but whatever works
That's too thin and wouldn't raise it high enough.
Put it upright and balance your brand new tv precariously on a thin piece of cardboard.
It might fit on that fireplace mantle...
Men be like hurr hurr hurr
TV too low. Set on box.
Look at Mr big shot with his box, just use 2 milk crates you stole from the shops.
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.
Oooh, look at Mr Fancy over here, i just sat on the floor to fix the problem
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.
Yep. Raise the TV to eye level. Then there are no remaining problems with this setup.
No game console of course, that’s what’s wrong.
I was going to say “no gaming pc” but let’s not get picky.
No, let's get picky! This looks like someone who wouldn't even be running Linux on the gaming PC they don't have!
Wooow, a real couch?
Someone got fancy.
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.
My lesbian mom lived like that for years after her separation
TV too high
Anyone can see that the tv needs a milk carton under it
What keywords would I look up if I wanted furniture like that
The chair gets called a lot of things like ottoman or lounge though I believe the specific name is chaise lounge.
They are very nice if you get a properly cushioned one, but can be a struggle to get out of when you're tired.
Incidentally, "chaise" is just the french word for chair
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.
lol both sides are wack imo
What kind of dining set defines you as a person?
Do you know what a duvet is?
plasticware raided from wendy's dumpster
Neck pain
Order a TV wall mount you savage.
Then put the TV on top of it. Raises it up about 4 inches. Perfect.
For now, that mantle would be a better place for that tv, assuming it can be safely placed there.
Otherwise, a box or lawn chair would be a good base for the TV.
Drink beers to construct tv stand over time. It’s motivation, sense of accomplishment, and being goal oriented.
And be sloppy with it, let it dribble. A tacky stack is a happy stack
Just don't get crazy with the hackeysack
It's the simple things in life.
Where mini fridge or ice chest for drinks
