Minimalists

This pic is obviously American.

I know, right? That's obviously a type B power outlet on the left wall.
Gotta protect your mattress somehow.
It could be a toy gun
- Why?
  Real guns are cheaper.

The only thing really wrong with this picture is how far off the wall the mattress is.. how many times during the night does this bloke need to pick his pillow back up

this guy ~~fucks~~ sleeps on the floor
He's probably like me, where we hate feeling the wall while I sleep
Maybe it's like that to accommodate putting in a window fan?

Fake. Sheets are too clean

There wouldn’t even be sheets if it was me. Also, lose the gun.
- In fact, forget the house!

That's the meme? But that's just gender stereotypes

*shitty gender stereotypes
Kind of, but on the other hand people (male, I believe) are openly agreeing with it ITT and apparently find it funny.
- it's ok if it's true, right?
There are no stereotypes in memes. Never ever

Also, in your bio, speaking of stereotypes:
No sense arguing with tankies. Every take I’ve seen from hexbear itt is absolute brainrot, and I can’t wait until we can block entire instances.
- People don't choose to be whatever gender they are, but they do choose whether to use hexbear or not
- The quote there is not a stereotype, it's a fact.
Yeah and they're fairly accurate

All the money was spent on the corvette outside

Dodge RAM and you know it.

back when my room was like this, the bros used to joke about "grabbing some carpet" like any other seat

but it's just five hungover dudes laying in front of a futon with lotr or forest gump on again

simpler times boys

Did that carpet tied the room together?

I had a mattress that I had directly on a cement floor in a basement. That was an expensive mistake. The mattress retained moisture because it couldn't breath, contributing to it collapsing. A basic bed frame is cheap, makes the room look nicer, and provides extra storage space underneath.

I've been having some fun with my current setup. I have a bed, nightstand, desk, dresser, and closet in one room. It's maybe a little cozy, but functional as long as I put some thought into it. I even have a nice space in the middle that I can pretend I use to work out in.

I think the idealization of this kind of spartan living space is basically the same as the cryptobro idealization of unregulated currency.
Over time exposure to reality will result in making compromise after compromise to solve each problem that arises until you have reinvented from first principles the very same standards that everyone else in society already arrived at.
- I get where you're coming from, especially when it's something like OP's post where it's just a bed and some junk. But there's a difference between spartan and efficient. A spartan setup doesn't provide much functionality beyond the basics (sleep, clothing). An efficient setup might take reworking, but it squeezes a multitude of uses into a small to medium sized room.
- Sone would say these occasional fruitless détours are healthy
Once, I used a bunch of plastic storage bins as a bedframe. Properly elevated bed, plus a lot of storage.
- I'd be worried about them breaking when things get vigorous
Yes, there are clear advantages to bed above floor technology

Fellas is it gay to have furniture

What for? You can sit on the floor, you can put your things on the floor, wait you can eat on the floor too? Great!
- You have your sink to eat over, too!

Oh, it’s silly stereotype time? I’ll play!

Whoever made this is just mad that the bed isn’t covered in $50 throw pillows.

Under capitalism, yes.

Under socialism? Men would all be spending their new free time learning woodworking and making gigantic overengineered furniture out of oak and mahogany.

Idk id probably be chilling
- It drinking and dancing with the boys to some hard bass
Nah. I would totally still lay on the floor.

Look at the king of England over here with a pillow and a double wide mattress!

Look at this fatcat using a water bottle! You can drink perfectly fine water from the tap. Don't even need a cup if you put your palms together.

Real men suck it directly from the ~~teet~~ faucet.
The water bottle is refilled from the tap so I can stay hydrated on the go XD
My brother just puts his face under the faucet

I see no game console, so I can't say this is true. There's also like a few cans of any beverage and a few cups of noodles missing from this picture.

And water. A real bachelor hydrates with beer/energy drinks/hard liquor

If it weren't for women we'd still be in caves, sleeping on hay with a rock for a pillow... and it would be amazing!

Confused unga bunga
- Return to monke

Ngl gonna lie thats feels like a great way to live. Need more space? Just lean the mattress on the wall!

Not gonna lie gonna lie
- Nglgl
- I have no idea how I messed that up. Im too tired.
I literally did this in college. It was great.
More room for activities

No need for anything if you aren't at home most of the time.

That or let's see that Gaming setup as you know that has some comfy shit.

Replace the gun with a bong and the water for a bottle of Jim Beam small batch and you've got my room when I was in my 20s.

Toss in a camping chair and a TV sitting on the floor and I'm in!

Literally my apartment when I was making 6 figures. Women be like “I don’t date poor dudes”. I’m like “lol just because I don’t blow my entire paycheck on Barre, Whole Foods, and shitty brand new apartment with paper thin walls doesn’t make me poor”

Meanwhile dudes with furniture are laying pipe lol
Rather it is because you don't do those things that you are not. I personally still like to have at least a box spring, but for the most part my bedroom is, well, a room that I put my bed in. I don't understand the need for $1,000 of pillows that we aren't allowed to actually sleep with overly fancy blankets that look nice in a photo but aren't anywhere near as comfortable as a cheap down blanket at Costco.
Don't get me wrong I do enjoy things looking nice, but there has to be some value to the item other than just it looks nicer. Function over form ideally function with form but in the bedroom form rarely follows function

Can't stub your toe on the bed frame if there's no bed frame

Can't fall out of bed either! Steps on the gun and accidently shoots thenselves
- Shoots his nuts off

I'd immediately go for the minimalist apartment. A floor bed that I can roll up, a table and chairs I can stash, just a big open space with dozens more plants and my gun.

Where's the bottle of lotion with a sock and/or tissues?

Yeah man, I feel you. I used to be able to but now its lost.

all it needs is a mystery turd in the bed , and a radiator to finish off a grilled charlie.

What prevents you from living this way? If the main plus you're seeing is "easier to clean", I assume that means you've got more furniture and such. What's stopping you from getting rid of everything except what's pictured?
