I had a friend in high school who was the oldest of 8 kids, 5 years older then the next. He had a room like this in his basement except it had an old couch and a couple tables he got at sal val for the tv. His parents were cool about him pad locking it to keep his siblings out because it was literally the only place in the house he could be alone. It was a pretty cool set up for a 17 year old.

Also, one of the worst things I can think of with those unfinished basement/crawlspace nests is that I guarantee you'd wake up from sleep every night covered in spiders. Just walking all over your hair and poo poo, making little webs and eating bugs, all night long. Mating and laying eggs.

Spiders love the indoors, the only reason they appear to pile up in crawlspaces is because those don't get regular cleaning.

I lived in an unfinished basement as a kid. I never thought much of it, besides that I didn't like spiders and there were always a lot in my room. Originally my older brother and I shared a bedroom but when he got older, I was moved into the adjacent playroom and turned that into a bedroom. Eventually we took out the dividing wall and turned it into one massive room, which when he moved out after college I got to move to the less-spidery side with the TV and the king-size bed instead of a unfolded pull-out couch with sheets on it. Looking back I had really gotten the short end of that stick. After I left for the military, my family kept it "just like before I left." What that translates to is that my father was a borderline hoarder when it came to used yard sale furniture, so he pretty much stacked stuff up in any open space, closed up the room and didn't disturb it again. I came back to my old bedroom looking like some poo poo from Raiders of the Lost Ark, just wall-to-wall old furniture, spiderwebs and mold everywhere, plus a 55-gallon freshwater fish tank that everyone had kinda forgot about. It was devoid of any life except for a viscous green film and one gigantic, extremely hard to kill and well-fed algae eater. My family was surprised when I sprung for a hotel room instead of sleeping in my old bedroom.

Also a lot of those people could be living in some of the more spendy parts of the country. A lot of tech industry places like Palo Alto have crazy high rent prices everywhere. I knew some people who rented a covered porch with a tent on it under the table for $900 a month because rent was so crazy. Another friend lived in a toy hauler that was parked in someones driveway because it was about 75% the rent of a sublet room.

On the other hand, this scrub actually bought a physical copy of the 2004 documentary "1 Night in Paris", which he keeps next to a physical copy of the 2008 documentary "Britney: For the Record". His playroom looks like a flea market stall set up by a recently bereaved and extremely disappointed grandson.

The worst part about it isn't the fact that it exists, but that the guy would display it so proudly. Then again that's true about 90% of the pics posted in this thread or the social media one, so.

Nothing piques my fascination with human degeneracy like this poo poo does. Its like their brains, conditioned by millions of years of evolution to seek out and maintain healthy environs, to procreate, to interact and socialize, has instead forgone all basic human needs, and spends every waking thought screaming to be pulled from their bodies into another world. Edit: I also wonder is it really escapism? Or has their brain painted over their dungeon life and video gaming to 'feel' like really living? blarzgh has a new favorite as of 16:32 on Jan 5, 2016 |

Toast Museum posted:Haha, I never noticed that. I did dig up another angle, though. Literally looks like the place where the Hacker the heroes have to visit in an 90s action movie lives. This made me laugh too much. I didn't want to point it out because I didn't see it until I looked at the picture a second time. I think the other graffiti says "Throw your feelings out". As for the unfinished basements, I can certainly see some being in a situation where the family just doesn't have anymore room, thought with some of the other stuff in those rooms, it looks more like a gross nerd dungeon than anything.

The Britney Spears memorabilia is what makes it weird to me. Sure if you're a straight guy you've probably whacked it to Britney at some point, but having concert posters and all the CDs displayed on a little shelf is weird. It's a stereotype, yes, but it seems more like something a gay man would do. So then I have to wonder if all the naked titties are just overcompensation for something? Like who does he invite into this room? Probably other dudes to play video games who he hopes are secretly closeted too? Yes, I know, the awkward is me and coming from the inside of the thread.

Its like their brains, conditioned by millions of years of evolution to seek out and maintain healthy environs, to procreate, to interact and socialize, has instead forgone all basic human needs, and spends every waking thought screaming to be pulled from their bodies into another world. Gaming can be addicting. One of the weird quirks about the human brain is that we need to feel like we're accomplishing something. Gaming scratches that itch and is very, very good at it. This is why you hear stories of people playing MMOs literally all day every day. In the real world all a person may be capable of is bagging groceries. In this fantasy world they're Grogneck, Level 80 Barbarian, Destroyer of Noobs and the most feared person on the server. It feels like progress and it feels awesome to be at the top of that game. It's also often about parasite singles or hikkikomori. It's worse in Japan obviously but it happens in America too. There's this strong pressure to be the top. If you aren't pursuing a six figure income in a prestigious profession you are wrong. This is part of why you get a lot of fat, upper middle class white guys acting like that. They're being pressured to be as successful as their parents are right now without being able to put in the time their parents did. Mom and dad are managers? Well Junior, you gotta be a doctor. So you get these people that are too lazy, not smart enough, or just plain don't want to do those things. So they find other things to do with their time. Plus with the price of living skyrocketing due to rent with wages stagnating and college getting obscenely expensive...well what the gently caress are they going to do? They're being pressured to do things that may be absolutely impossible. Then if they do get a menial job all they hear is "well is this all you want to do with your life? Grow the gently caress up, kid you can't push carts forever. When are you moving out?" so they withdraw.

I think you're giving 'societal pressure' a little too much credit. I doubt the parents living above those dungeons are doctors and engineers.

No they aren't but there's been massive pressure for the past few decades for everybody's kid to be the most successful one on the block. I'm talking people making minimum wage telling all of their children to go be doctors without bothering to think about how much that will cost or how they'll pull it off. Just "gently caress you, go do it."

I discovered a fail-proof way to find awkward/ugly on Facebook. It's as simple as coming up with a term an awkward or ugly person might post about, and then misspell it in some way. My search terms were "Confederit" and "Backyard Wresling." Here is what turned up:                      Some additional phrases I found while looking through these were "Stay at home mom IS A JOB!!", "Altoona, PA", "School of Hard Knocks", and "Works at: None of you're business"

I keep thinking at least one of those super-sparse crawl space lairs was a situation where the home owners didn't know someone was down there, like a guy kicked out by his parents but he snuck down there instead and only came up when they weren't home. Sounds like stdh yet so crazy it's true.
