I'm sorry, I'm obviously a very sheltered girl in a bubble... There are guys without bedsheets?

Do they not know mattresses are MUCH more expensive than sheets?

    there is a right wing influencer who used a dead rat as an alarm clock: when the sun heated up the corpse enough to smell, it would wake him up.

    Wouldn't he have to kill a rat about the same time every day to get it to smell? Things don't really stink like death in less than a day, even under a hot sun.

    I imagine he'd have to kill rats, let them simmer until they're just about to smell, freeze them at the state of almost-stank, and take them out to thaw before he goes to bed.

    But where are the rat alarms to tell him when to kill more rats?

    Some of them use a sleeping bag. Some use a pile of “clean” laundry.

    My college roommate had a plan so he wouldn’t have to do laundry more than once a month: he bought 30 pairs of underwear, so he would have a clean pair every day, and everything else could be reworn until the month was out.

    My other friend in college had bedsheets, but never washed them or changed them for an entire year, on move out day his bedsheets were completely embedded in his leg hair like it was woven into it as part of the sheet.

    I dated a dude who was very clean and responsible. When our relationship evolved until I was helping him change his bed, I was astounded to discover he was using duvet covers around his entire mattress. He went his whole life believing fitted sheets were some specialty fancy bed garnish.

    To be fair, he grew up in a religious cult.

    Nothing makes me feel more valid as a woman than seeing how men live.

    And they’re not all filthy, but the joke that they’re happy in an empty room with nothing but a bed and a desk really seems to be true.

    Honestly, I'm a little envious of how little my husband seems to want or need. We each have a home office, and they couldn't be more different. His is basically an empty desk, bookcase and a PC. Mine is my lair.

    Honestly. It sounds great to just be happy with that.

    yeah I'm currently going through this, he's absolutely not someone i wanna be with but like he fell asleep on a call last night and I just can't help but think his sleeping noises are so cuteeee 😭😭

    edit: I don't think he's worse than me, just not a good partner.

    Hey girl, this is your friend speaking. Leave him. I promise, the person you're meant to be with will make noises so cute you'll regret every second spent not hearing them.

    You deserve better than to be with someone who is by your own admission "not a good partner". Choose loving yourself.

    As someone in their 40s, girls in their early 20s to early 30s are all the same category of people. You're not that much different from each other than you think.

    Infantilization of young adults is the class war dividing the generations against themselves. The problem is the 1%, not other generations.
