I think this is less "male" and more "poverty".

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

Don't even need to remake much. Just put a slab of wood in the middle and on top.

First thought in a male brain seeing this: "wow, practical".

Then i saw the text.

This guys a damn genius

It's quite clever until you stub your toe on it at 4am.

Would it hurt anymore than a normal bedside table though?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Wood might flex a bit and absorb the impact, making it hurt a bit less. Concrete won't.

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.

Everything.

I expect this will damage the flooring.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do your night stands like dance around and shit? If so they may be too close to your bed homie. Looks like it’s against the wall, and there is approximately 240 lbs of cinder blocks. I think it’s fine as long as you set them down and pick them up gently.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Depending on the quality of that vinyl flooring, it could cause permanent depressions. That's 50 lbs of cement versus a couple pounds for a wood nightstand.

There is also a risk with spills which would be drawn under the blocks and cause moisture to be trapped.

I would be far less concerned if there was carpet involved.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

It'll scratch the shit out of anything you put on top of it, too. Or in the little cubby holes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Looks sturdy

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Cinderblocks are literally just legos for adults. Not because it's more mature or anything, but because it's cheaper.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They also destroy your toes if left in the bedroom.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Imagine building a whole building with these cursed blocks

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Everyone has steel toed slippers, right?

Except, you know what I discovered just LOVES to live in cinder blocks? For instance the stack I had on my balcony? Black Widow Spiders, that's who. Whole families of them, each in a section, with egg sacs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

So you had a your balcony nuked from space right?

Right?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

so...you're telling me you built a condo for black minorities and now you want to evict them?

just calling a shoe a shoe here, but....

First thing I thought of when I saw that is "Hey, that's just Kallax!"

My girlfriend and I have just moved into a new home and we're decorating the living room. It's still a work in progress, but we've painted the wall and put up some Kallax!

There's going to be some drawers and doors and stuff, but this is what it looks like so far ❤️

Edit: for those of you eagle eyed enough to think "wtf even is that in the picture?" I can explain. It's a pokéball drinks coaster made from hammer beads!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

I like that flower vase. It looks like a radish.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

Very nice! I'm jealous of having that much storage space around the TV.
