Also, is that carpet in the kitchen? Eww.

[–] somebody29 49 points 1 year ago

That’s the kitchen/living room/bathroom/bedroom.

I feel that way about carpet in general, and even rugs. They trap dust and dirt and pollen.

My stairs are carpeted purely for the sake of traction. And also because it’s my parents’ house, so it wasn’t entirely my decision to make.

“My stairs”

“Parents house”

I’m confused, are you young and still living at home, or do you rent an area from your parents that has stairs?

[–] JoshuaSlowpoke777@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m 25, and have my own income and tax filing, but I live with my parents and help out as needed when I’m not at work. I’m kinda tempted to just inherit the house someday.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Right on, that makes sense. I’d probably be living at home if I was 25 in 2023 too. It’s hard to sustain decent housing these days, and boomers have beautiful homes that are 3 sizes too big.

That used to be a thing in the 70s. Or a big rug/mat thing.

Carpeted bathrooms, too. Even more disgusting than you could imagine.

£2000PW right?

The cardboard carpet is classy.

Every single one I’ve posted is from Reddit. I missed the sub so I created one here. I’m getting it started with poached content (accessed via Dystopia so no ads and I don’t interact at all) to get this community up and running. Hopefully it won’t be long before enough subscribers are contributing here so there’s no need to steal from Reddit.

Is there someone who does this but for actually liveable properties? I tire of the cynicism.

[–] VoxAdActa@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

That's a lot of counter space. I'm sold.

[–] mackwinston 5 points 1 year ago

It has a companionway, so it's like a yacht. Therefore, higher rent!

[–] automater@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

This one is my favorite

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

This is great. Keep it coming.

[–] apis@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

What I love about this is that it looks like the carpet was freshly laid. Otherwise I might try to believe the newly-painted steps were a temporary measure as the place is redeveloped.

[–] anon_water@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wtf are those wires hanging out.

[–] somebody29 1 points 1 year ago

I paid £110 a night to stay in a hotel with worse wiring than that 😅
