What's the orange skull doll?

Kaws, one of those pop art figures that ended up getting merchandized to hell and back.

flee, otherwise it is like punching the wind: useless

This display used to be the first thing you would see when you walked into my home.

The only reason I moved them was because I replaced them to make room for my two massive bearded dragon tanks. 😎

Any future partner better match my energy LOL

My girlfriend is EXTREMELY jealous of all your peepees and ouiouis

They are the result of years of slowly obtaining them. They are pretty much the only thing(s) of value that I own! Really love them a lot. 💕

If she doesn't have a Peepy of her own yet, it's your obligation to get her one! 🫵 And if she already has one, she needs more.

This dude is "hiding his power level" till he gets women back to his place

Then it's too late

The posters are red flags for "nice guys" and other very problematic people

[–] Orangutanion@lemmy.world -2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It's just a bunch of memes. Let the guy decorate his apartment how he wants.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago

If I walk into a woman's apartment, and one of the first things I see is something like "can't handle me at worst", and I <3 Dylan, posters I am probably going to end the pursuit of this relationship. I would do this because I have seen this common thread with people who do this. That common thread is that they have personality disorders, or are otherwise unstable. Pattern recognition is a survival instinct. Pattern recognition can be wrong, but this isn't seeing faces in wood grain. This is seeing aspects of people's personalities that they, themselves, value to the point where they spent money to display it on their wall.

Beyond this specific situation, you know how many times I have seen "it's just memes" turn into "I am now in favor of an ethno state"? The average person to white supremacist/whatever pipeline created by the social influence of fora for "it's just memes/jokes" is real, I have watched it happen. Feel disaffected from society? Well I am here to ease you into the idea that it isn't your fault, it is the fault of women, and brown people, starting with some casual jokes, and memes.

I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.

My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she's a huge Rush fan:

In my living room at the time:

All I hear is "Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

70% sure she just married me for the TV.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Dude but that's a pretty kickass TV.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Holy cow. That TV! Actually awesome, seems uniquely aesthetically pleasing for the era it seems to originate from.

What can you tell us about that TV?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

The origjnal is a Philco Predicta from around 1958 or so. The Philco brand existed for years and years, first as a maker of radios, then as a maker of televisions.

The retro-futurist Predicta line ran for just 2 years, 1958 to 1960.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicta

It definitely gained a hold though and has been featured in both the Sims and Fallout games:

In the 90's, the brand was acquired by a tiny company called Telstar who hand-made reproductions using Phillips parts, that's who made mine in 2001.

25", full color, with composite, component and S-Video inputs. It even supports 480p video!
