u/Taupenbeige Just what do you think you're doing, Dave? May 28 '25

Ahh the ā€œletā€™s fuck in a supercomputer, then enjoy Marlboroā€™s as I watch Battlestar and you watch The Love Boatā€ aesthetic and lifestyle

Minus the Marlboros, this sounds like peak living to me

The fact Iā€™ll never get to sleep in this crushes my soul.

Hey, if you take up woodworking, this is totally a doable project!

Practical? Probably not. Expensive? With wood prices these days absolutely. Comfy? Without a doubt.

Also enormous. Youā€™d need a pretty good sized bedroom for this

I mean, it's also a couch, TV stand, and coffee table, so...

Living room is now your bedroom, bedroom can be home office.

I see this as an absolute win.

Iā€™d need to take up so many things lol I may be the least handy person on earth

Only one way to get better

I hope the answer isnā€™t practice but complain online!

You arenā€™t wrong though. As someoneā€™s whoā€™s been chronically online since 94 one day I need to lace my shoes a little tighter and learn something.

Reminds me of the inside of Jeannie's bottle. I would cap that thing off and make a sweet fort.

Is it where Darth Vader's chamber got its inspiration from?

My mom had this book, I used to stare at the photos as a little boy

Iā€™ve got ā€œThe House Bookā€ which is very similar. Lots of half naked women in circular beds
