I wouldn't last more than 45 min with a setup like that. I'm falling asleep immediately.

I am over 40, and I still do stuff like that. I always wondered where the line of crossing over from child to adult would be, but I haven't found it still.

You’d be surprised!

I went to one years ago, based on sharing food and smoking weed, and we were all up until well after 2 a.m. The youngest was 29-something and the oldest well past 80. We had so much fun.

Same here. I'm eating that hero with roasted peppers on it, to hell with the consequences!! I'm invinci--....ughhh heartburrrrrnnn...

waking up in an hour with a stiff back and full bladder is even worse than falling asleep so soon.

Man, that is a terrible angle for both eating and TV watching.

Is there a community for that on Lemmy? That used to be one of my guilty pleasure subreddits.

Edit: someone linked it below but it's pretty damn dead.

It wouldn't matter anyway, I'd be unconscious 2 minutes after laying down.

Warm pizza box on my stomach? Yeah, I wouldn't last long

The angle is so bad that I was wondering if it was a joke about them falling asleep right at the start of their movie-marathon, before even eating their pizza.

That’s all well and good but eating pizza lying down like that while being over 40 is just asking for heartburn.

baking soda.

it doesn't dissolve well, so a straw is a massive help, instead of trying to swirl it into the water off the sides of the glass.

not helpful for a low-sodium diet, but sure kills that burn real quick.

You know you can buy cheap, slightly-minty calcium carbonate tablets that do the same thing, rather than living like a 16th century witch.

Where do you live that you can't buy Tums? Honestly just curious.

Deep in an enchanted forest, where Amazon shipping costs as much as the item itself

It's probably the only way you can be semi-comfortable watching a TV over a fireplace tho.

My partner is a tv on the fireplace mantel viewed from a distance kind of guy. I'm a tv at or near eye level while sitting on the couch and viewed from a responsibly close distance kind of guy.

So we compromised, and placed the tv on the fireplace mantel all the way across the room from the couch.

I guess I'd fit in quite well in a tvtoohigh community.

Any good lounge should have you reclined and looking naturally towards the joint between the wall and ceiling.

How could that even work? If you hang your TV that high then the ‘horizontal plane’ (from your eyes to the screen) would be diagonally across the room. You’d need a really weirdly shaped room. Where do you place your front height speakers? They would have to be above where the ceiling is and your rear speakers would effectively need to be below floor level.

My GERD would have all that pizza immediately backwashing into my mouth if I were to lie down and eat like that

Enter my life:

Bedridden from chronic illness + Severe GERD

I swear to god I got fucking cursed so bad. I don’t think shit’s tasted normal in years, everything sour and nauseating.

You should look into getting a roman chair. Life changing piece of equipment, basically idiot-proof, and you can find quality ones for less than $100 online.

For as long as I know people who will accept the invite, I will continue to ask friends to come over and play video games all night.

Varies. A lot of horror games, whenever someone's too scared they hand the controller to the next guy.

Last time we fired up Ratchet and Clank Deadlocked on an emulator for some multiplayer.

We've been getting into Pummel Party lately.

Mario Party-ish game with 8 people that is on PC and has Steam Workshop support for extra maps and minigames.

Not a lot of local multiplayer games on current consoles anymore 😩

Classic retro games it is! I'll beat your high score at Donkey Kong! Or get the headshot in Goldeneye. You can even be oddjob!

Oddjob? More like blowjob to my superior gaming skills! (Eh, not my best joke. But all the pieces are there. Somebody do something with that...)

Last time I saw this, it was "the game" they were all set to watch.

The words "the Lord of the Rings trilogy." are darker and lower than the rest of the text. Its definitely edited.

My husband had Fatal Attraction on repeat for a few weeks. I asked him why and he said it was some sort of schadenfreude at those who put their dicks in crazy. Glenn Close really did play an excellent psycho bitch though.

You can eat it without needing to pick it up if you cut it in a spiral. Not that I’ve ever done such a thing…

The pepperoni, not the entire pizza. Though, it could be. There's just no way to tell.

That would be amazing, one peperoni per... However I don't think that's peperoni at all, maybe barbecue sauce and chicken? Idk, if you zoom in it doesn't look the same shape as the other guys ronis.

Maybe before the LotR trilogy they were watching The Wizard of Oz and listening to Dark Side of the Moon to see if they really sync up, and just forgot to cover it back up

It sounds fun but also I now have a hard time falling asleep if I’m not holding my wife, so I’m not sure if I could do this

IME sleepover just turned into let's drink which = sleeping wherever drinking is happening

5

We do sometimes have similar movie sleepovers with couple friends, it's just the best.

Best part? 10+ hours of party but we're not expected to chat constantly. An hour of silence doesn't matter =D

5

Only one medium(?) pizza each for like 10+ hours worth of movies? Cmon now, you can do better than that!

4

I'm wondering if it's possible that the house is a bit larger than just this little bit that's shown in the photo and that there may be more space where additional food items could be placed or stored.

5

There is a rule about putting a TV over a fireplace though...

lemm.ee

Yea, that doesn't look like any kind of fun

There are reasons we "grow out of sleepovers".
