I tried living like this, but I couldn't. A couple more things I need:
sheets: both a fitted sheet for the matress and a second loose sheet on top
some kind of blanket or comforter on top of the sheets
two pillows, one "soft" and one "firm".
That being said... tables? A chair? Who are you, the King of France? In fact you don't even need the matress, just get a futon that you can fold up for more space and use a laptop on top of that, like I'm doing right now.
Matress needs to be off the floor to prevent moisture from being trapped between the mattress and ground causing mildew/mold. More of an issue in humid places, but still - prop that bad boy up on some bricks or something idk
Bonus storage space! Physical notification every time you roll off! More space for the monsters! Easier to keep bed bugs at bay! More options for the Waifullow 2600XX!
Math and engineering books, particularly those with good derivations and lists of facts. For example, one of my favorites is Digital Signal Processing by Proakis and Manolakis. It is basically an encyclopedia of classical DSP, with excellent derivations and practical information about how to efficient and correctly implement Fourier analysis on a real computer.
Awesome. I have a ton of books on Scientific Computing like Numerical Recipes by Press et al. Also a lot of advanced engineering and physics book. But mine are specifically related to Civil Engineering. My favourite is The History Of Theory of Structures, which chronicles the history of analysis of civil engineering structures.
That's super interesting! My parents were both civil engineering majors, and my dad still works in the field.
Also big thank you for name-dropping Numerical Recipes. I checked it out on LibGen and it turns out to be something I need. I'm taking an embedded systems class where we need to do a bunch of C programming and I was just reading a numerical analysis book (Classical Numerical Analysis by Salgado and Wise; it's more theoretical) the other day, so it's going to be really helpful to see some nontrivial C code in a context I understand. Thanks!
I had this lovely vintage Steelcase short back chair in my industrial themed home office for a while. Then the pandemic hit and working from home started. It didn't take me a month to get some bad back and leg pain. Now, I have a Steelcase Leap V2 at home and a Herman Miller Aeron in the office. A good chair is so important when you spend a third of your day in it.
Needs a better chair and more ergonomics around the desk. Otherwise you'll be happy momentarily, but after a few months your back and other body parts will be quite unhappy with you.
When I was a bachelor in my college days, I didn't have much more than this.
Easily the focal point of my living space was my computer console, which got a little crazy. I had a simple table for a desk, and on it was a surround sound system for my PC (a big JVC one... Speakers strewn around the room), keyboard, mouse, PC, some knick knacks.... I had put together some wooden boards to build a stand over my JVC amp so my monitor could sit on top of it, a huge 25(?) Inch CRT... My computer tower was to the right... Directly to the right of my seat I had my printer (I was in college after all. It was a generic inkjet), and a mini fridge. In the corner, between the printer and computer, I had a small pile of equipment to give me some extra functionality, like an old desktop that I remoted into, so I could have stuff running that I didn't need to use up resources on my main computer for... A network switch was over there too... Etc.
To my left was my storage area, a small shelf and a dresser next to it. Behind the desk area was basically a bed with a night stand for my alarm clock, and a hanger area because I didn't have a closet. I don't have any pictures from that era, as this was before smartphones had decent cameras and storage.
That space was my life back then. I still remember every detail, from the knick knacks on my desk to the sound the fridge made when it opened.
I don't need to cram my entire life into one room anymore, so I'm a bit more spread out, but my computer station hasn't changed a lot. I switched almost entirely to headphones, so goodbye JVC, and everything has been changed or upgraded, but a lot of the same elements are here. I relocated my PC to under my table (it has it's own smaller table under my big table), and I have more monitors now, which are thankfully not CRTs. My bed and storage stuff moved to another room, but the layout and principles of my original design and layout of my desk is still very apparent.
I might have one picture I can scrounge up that I took of it when I had moved into my parents place between semesters, all laid out the same. I have no idea where that picture might be though. It was awesome for a mid 2000's battle station, and I had basically no frills about my life at that time. Everything I owned had a purpose. As long as it served that purpose, there was no need to change it. I loved it just as it was.
Lol I'm actually thinking about how to design a long and narrow bicycle camper with a bed, a foldable reclining armchair top that goes on the bed during the day, a split ergo keyboard on the armrests, and a monitor that can be easily pushed out of the way. This could fit into a space about 3m long and 1m wide.
The roof / top half of the camper could be moved up or down for transport aerodynamics. Kinda like a "vanlife" mobile battlestation. But I'd also want a mini kitchen and a burner and a place to shower and poop. Lightweight similar to teardrop campers but where the roof is flat so the top part can fit over the bottom half. And with lightweight solar panels ofc. And with windows all around that can be stoppered with lightweight XPS panels in cold weather.
I keep seeing ads for those big beds with the built in couch/desk/fridge/bookshelf/recliner & I don't think my productivity could handle me having one of those in my life.
Funny how when you see someone use a word like "gendernormative" you can tell they got their entire personality from the internet, and they're going to die lonely
I don't understand. Where are the Bionicles?
On the floor behind the photographer
Why the useless 2nd table?
Seems fishy...
That's the dining room
Now we're getting fancy, money bags
Eat on the floor
Eat standing
No eat. Only game.
Shit standing
That's called squat toilet, yeah
No squat
Eating without a table is a horrible thing to do. Ask rimworld players.
Dude, where else would you keep the fleshlight/lotion and wetwipes?
Fancy are we?
What happend to the good old hand, spit and sock?!
It is a circumcision thing
They need special lotion or it starts to chafe.
Yo, you gotta make sweet, sweet love to yourself, or how will anyone else?
Laptop, printer, microwavable meals, future expanded PC setup ... Back when I had corner desks, that's usually how I used the second side.
Printer? Might as well put a brick with a beeping function and a sign that says "oUt Of YeLlOw InK, cAnT pRiNt B&w"
How am I supposed to get that sign out of my brick?
Back when I had a corner desk, I still naively believed.
Nowadays, on the rare occasion when I need to print, I have a Brother laser printer.
Fuck you! Low on cyan!
And it gets in the way of proper VR space.
Fuck i need a table
Those words can be arranged in different positions to get a different meaning.
Most words can..?
He just discovered sentences
It is like the whole concept of words
Can most words..?
need I fuck a table?
I, a table, need fuck
Just lay on your stomach and work your back muscles, bro!
But my head is so heavy!
Are you my exes?
"If a man could fuck a woman in a cardboard box, he wouldn't buy a house" - Dave Chappelle
men who rely on women being so nonfree that they have to agree to this must be so unlikeable it's crazy
How is that non free?
I wouldn't mind a toilet
Look at Rockefeller thinking he needs his our toilet.
Mine is down the hall and I share it with 23 other people and that's the way it should be!
that's what the window is for. ... or the roof, i don't see a window.

I slept on a futon for six months. My back hated me for it.
Yup. First thing I noticed, too. Where's my blankets? And by blankets I mean cheap unzipped sleeping bag I've been using as a blanket for years.
No bedframe, no nightstand, only one monitor and it's tiny as hell
This looks like a prison, get me out
When you don't have a bed frame, the whole floor is your night stand!
A prison cell with walls and a carpeted floor, your own bathroom, and a door you control so you get to go anywhere you want.
What bathroom and door? What you see is what you get.
Peak hikikomori minimalist living space, who needs hygiene and outside anyway.
Even worse, no chamber pot.
Are you saying I could be gaming, reading, posting all day and hooking up in the showers at night, all for free?
Even the sex is included.
Matress needs to be off the floor to prevent moisture from being trapped between the mattress and ground causing mildew/mold. More of an issue in humid places, but still - prop that bad boy up on some bricks or something idk
Cargo pallets are about the right size, and are free, if you ask, at Lowes/ Home Depot/ other Hardware stores.
Ever since pallet furniture became trendy they're hard to come by
Those are adult concerns and have no place in this childish utopia.
Bonus storage space! Physical notification every time you roll off! More space for the monsters! Easier to keep bed bugs at bay! More options for the Waifullow 2600XX!
milk crates! get em from the grocery store, around back.
You just keep living your best life
Leave some of them happiness for the rest of us
It's the back pain. That mattress won't do at in my 30s. No sir.
Nevermind being that close to the ground and fighting gravity to get in and out of bed, nope.
On the other hand, you age more slowly down there than the rest of us. Guy probably ages a few femtoseconds per year more slowly than the rest of us.
You gotta take care of yourself! I backpack at l least a month of nights a year, thin pad. Lots of manual labor in my past. Gotta stay flexible
Nah, when I was younger, I would've still wanted some books.
NGL when I finally got an apartment that's basically what my place looked like for months
Only difference was there was also a cat tree for my cat
His tree was the second piece of furniture I bought
Idk...my back started hurting just looking at that chair but maybe that's just me.
Same and my neck and shoulders from looking at that pillow.
ikr fuck
I'm sorry but this is missing dog.
bro how extra do you gotta be
This much:
Bark. Bark.
You are missing one toilet paper roll
Yeah I don't see any curtains
Needs at least two more monitors and one more soldering iron
And a better chair. My back will die with that chair
Far from complete. A fridge with beer and junkfood is missing. Also a toilet and tissues.
there's carpet
Well observed
Table on the side?!?
Man don't need no extra table.
Yes, that's where my whisky goes dammit.
Throw in a better chair and a mini fridge and I'm sold.
I need books. Lots and lots of books to be somewhat happy..
What about EBooks? You can read Ebooks on your PC. Actually, that's how I typically do read books lately so I can read the books in dark mode.
I like physical books more than ebooks.
Ebook reader. Prefer an actual book, but the price of ebooks be much better arrr.
arrrrr you not in an area with a nice library? :(
Fair. I do have hardcover copies of reference books for easy thumbing-through, but I could go without them since I probably also have a PDF copy.
What kind of reference books do you have?
Math and engineering books, particularly those with good derivations and lists of facts. For example, one of my favorites is Digital Signal Processing by Proakis and Manolakis. It is basically an encyclopedia of classical DSP, with excellent derivations and practical information about how to efficient and correctly implement Fourier analysis on a real computer.

Thanks!
And just where am I expected to put my collection of American Girl dolls?
I think if they put computers and carpet in prison cells, they might not want to leave.
Sorry, but I want a chair with a backrest. But other than that, no notes
(I'm going with the vibe of the joke. There's a lot more that I consider table stakes irl, don't bother me.)

That table is bloat
The OS is bloat as well
Nah, gotta have an e-reader or tablet in there. You can't relax and read with a desktop or laptop.
A SECOND table? Feeling fancy aren't we?
Meh needs more monitors and a better chair but it's close.
Needs a better chair and more ergonomics around the desk. Otherwise you'll be happy momentarily, but after a few months your back and other body parts will be quite unhappy with you.
Put this setup in the corner of a 4 car garage with a hoist and I'm sold.
Hoist? For the sails?
Pretty close, NGL...
As a tall man I would greatly appreciate a bed frame so as to not have to fight the bed springs to stand up.
Where do I poop?
In the corner, but it's not polite to show that on camera.
The lack of a slatted frame under that matress makes me uncomfortable.
Username did not check out
Ambitious Bones, not ambitious mold spots on the floor
There is a subreddit for this. Cant remember the name.
Just photos of guys rooms, with a few sacks of the floor and a laptop
Any one remember what it is. ?
I think it's r/malelivingspace . And I believe this picture in particular actually made it on @fter Midnight.
That’s the one !
What sort of floor comes in a sack?
Bag tiles
😂
I sleep on the floor and it's great.
Where girl?
No need, but the photo is missing a cheap VR headset and a box of tissues.
And a body-length pillow to cuddle with
I was going to comment "where's the body pillow?" but you beat to it. Touche.
Lmao that is pretty much my life
At least there's somewhere to sit, but nowhere for guests to sit. According to Josh Johnson, this is below the bare minimum for meeting a girl. Best of luck, OP.
For some of us, a girl was never an option 😎
Where’s the beer?
It's just missing one essential piece.
Snacks.
Some sort of duvet-less motherfucker
tyler durden would approve
i definitely would not be happy in that chair. and 1 monitor. might as well be using a laptop out in the fucking wind.
I wouldn't be happy with that PC sitting on the carpeted floor when you have a perfectly good table to the right.
When I was a bachelor in my college days, I didn't have much more than this.

Yo I fucking love skyfactory
also specifically skyfactory 4.
This is like the modern day GTA 3 apartment.
Guys only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting
Been there done that.

Is that a wipe-clean mattress?
I think it's just a pretty clean and well fitting fitted sheet.
Where's the second monitor though?
a few consoles and a gaming phone too
Gaming phone..?
yeah like the asus rog ally
I can fit an n scale layout on that table, yes yes
Only 1 monitor, not using Gnome
I don’t think I could be happy with that
I keep seeing ads for those big beds with the built in couch/desk/fridge/bookshelf/recliner & I don't think my productivity could handle me having one of those in my life.
Needs a fridge, cell phone, and a 3-foot blonde with a flat head.
I have that same desk, but with glass on top of it.
Eh, not really. I'd take a better chair and a cabinet over that additional table. Also, just one monitor? What peasantry!
I'm more of a Stoneblock 2 guy myself but Skyfactory will do.
Truth x Facts
Fellas, if you live like this... This is why you are single. Not your looks, not even your personality. It's this. Furnish your room properly.
gendernormative post is gendernormative
Funny how when you see someone use a word like "gendernormative" you can tell they got their entire personality from the internet, and they're going to die lonely
ever heard of books?
Did you just assume I'm not dyslexic?!?
