If you want a serious answer: garten of banban is a videogame that broadly follows five nights at Freddie’s style of evil corrupted fluffy things, and Markiplier etc. have played it (I think?).
Scenecore sparkledog furry art as a phrase is aggressively queer to the point of being a funny caricature.
The final piece of the puzzle is the rallying cry ‘cringe culture is dead’. It’s popular on places like tumblr etc. and is used to push back on the social pressure of cringe culture, that often affects people who are queer or nerds or furries etc.
So we have the joke: ‘tumblr-y people pushing back against cringe culture when they have to defend people who enjoy a piece of media that is (not AI) slop pushed out to jump on the FNAF trend.’
To clarify: I am in favour of letting people enjoy things.
Basically it's a counterculture of "cringe" that people defend. For example think of sonic the hedgehog fans, FNAF fans, etc. It's kinda cringe, but they're having fun and enjoying themselves. Furries are BIG into cringe culture, and it's kinda also part of the queer experience to be seen as cringe by the mainstream.
though there kinda has been a difference where the people in cringe culture find some things cringy and want to push away, like garden of banban because it's generally a slop game. A lot of cringe culture is rooted in the 2000s/2010s and is having a hard time accepting modern cringe things. Here is an example of scene core that the meme referenced:
Here is a pretty good example of what a modern day "furry scenecore sparkle dog" kind of art that the meme referenced. It's an AMV made by 2 trans girls who are (kinda?) furries. Genuinely such a good song btw https://youtu.be/vJTb2bQc_Qw
TLDR: The meme is pointing out the hypocrisy of cringe culture accepting a lot of cringe things, but also disliking other cringe things.
I feel like the energy usage of cooling then heating would be crazy though... Perhaps a localized solution, like a space heater pointed at the bed on a timer or smart outlet, so you're getting direct heat only in the morning, only in bed.
I don't think so, in the corner is less directly in the path of the flow of the AC unit, it's more like it would be blowing to your left - which could still make you cold, but probably no worse than being directly in front of it like it is now
Why wouldn't I defend people enjoying Garten of Banban? It just looks like a standard mascot horror game, and there's nothing inherently wrong with those. Unless the developers are as bigoted as the FNAF dev or the game has genuinely immoral content, I see no problem with it.
Top picture oop only has a single room to.live in, and a cot to sleep on, and is asking for advice on making the most of it. And these comments, holy shit. Wasn't expecting that level of classism on Lemmy. Especially 196.
What gives you the impression that it smells? The person who lives in that room doesn't appear to have very much money but I don't see any indication that they have a problem with hygeine. Do you just assume that all poor people stink?
Also, why would you assume they don't have any friends? Are poor people not worth spending time with?
I’ve lived in a similar shitty apartment. It smelled from the day I moved in.
I don’t know where you’re getting that I assume they don’t have any friends. I assumed that he didn’t want them to come over until he improved the place, which is an entirely different thing.
Keep it - you can either gift it to someone who needs it more down the road, or have an option if someone needs to crash who isn't 'company'. Also nice for camping if you're into that and have room to bring it.
Haven't used it a lot but my cot has come in clutch a couple of times.
Some. Some folks are naturally kind of ascetic, others aren't really but have difficulty justifying letting themselves have things. But most of the time the OP picture is a function of circumstances.
For a long while in my early to mid 20s I moved around a lot, either from chasing work, for a woman, or from losing work or woman. My only furniture was a shitty futon from Walmart that pulled double duty as my couch and my bed, a plywood 'entertainment center' that my TV sat on even though I never plugged it in because I didn't have anything to watch on it, and a rolling chair with a tiny writing desk attached to it that I got for free, where my laptop sat and I spent most of my time at while home. I probably could have afforded a couch or table off Craigslist or something if I saved up for it, but I had all I needed and didn't want to spend money on more crap to carry to my next apartment
Its fine. Seeing as its a window ac unit there likely isn't anywhere else to put it and its not like they're going to have both running at once and the baseboards don't often have a thermostat in them, its somewhere else so it should be fine to put the ac there

Thanks for the explainer! I am also in favor of letting people enjoy things. I know that to most, I’m weird. Glass houses and all.

before i clicked that song i was trying to guess, and i guessed fem&m and astrid. i was close!
and 100% yes. that song is in several of my playlists(i love being terminally onlime) :3
dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 24 pts · 166d
probably should go up against the wall in the corner (feet facing the viewer, head facing the AC unit)
GreenCrunch@piefed.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 166d
Yeah, but then when the AC runs it'll blow directly on you and you'll be freezing!

All good until you don't want to get out of bed in the morning because it's freezing...

Ah, good point, I didn't think about that, looking at it again that makes sense.

Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 166d
It's of poor quality - although that's a subjective take from someone who's only seen other people's gameplay.
TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 166d
Who cares? I don't care if it's camp or genuinely bad; so long as there's isn't anything really fucked up about it, why shouldn't people enjoy it?
subiprime@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 166d

I just moved and bought a cot to sleep on. With a yoga mat on it, it's actually as comfortable as any bed I've ever slept on!
I'm considering keeping it long term, but I would like to have "company" over some day.
