Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

Er, I mostly meant the "fan of oler ponies", not that she was one of true-child-of-80's. There are not much of those left.
I myself started around the end of G3, after seeing a really adorable bootleg.

Ah, I see.

I don't know what's worse - people pouring their wallets into microtransactions and loot boxes, or this.

They're equally worthless but microtransactions aren't creating future landfill.

 

[LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV]]

this is just fucking awful. imagine being so brain-damaged & disturbed that you can't even handle being alone with your thoughts for the time it takes to waddle from the battlestation to the fridge & back,

I just read the thread, assuming OP really is the owner of the room and not baiting . then he said he doesn't even live by himself but he has lived with both of his brothers but when he lived with his other brother it was just an anex room or something with no bathroom so he peed in 2 lt bottles. That kinda closes the case for me, he is definitely the mentally ill mutant of the family, probably a run of the mill autist neet on a tugboat. One of those :

"ummm dude your brother...
"yeah, we know, we gave up years ago,"

Here's a redditor's kitchen:

One of the more depressing bits is where the poster says they're not worried about any mess from cooking because they only ever use the oven. Just gives you a window into the diseased meat mass that waddles around in that place.

 

[CreamyHerman’s]

Classic example of buying products as a proxy for gaining skill at something. Instead of working on her makeup skills she's spending thousands on barely used palettes. Many such cases.

Kitchens should not be a extension of your man cave Jesus Christ. So many fire hazards!

Yep, from my experience with lolcows and hoarders I just assumed this person only eats take out/fast food/hot pockets and doesn't even use the kitchen, but from comments they use the oven so I think there's a frozen meal situation going on.
Some more comments from OP of the kitchen:


This guy actually remind me of an old blog I used to read called Hello Kitty Hell. The premise was that the author's wife was obsessed with hello kitty to the point that the entire house down to the kitchen and bathroom was full of hello kitty merchandise, despite the author loathing hello kitty. He never posted anything but the bathroom, but it's here in snippets:

Hello Kitty Bathroom – Hello Kitty Hell

This was in 2007 and I'm sure there are many more prolific hello kitty hoarders nowadays.

Not a consoomer find so much as a prescient anti-consoomer /bugman warning from something published by the mathematical theorist, activist, and philosopher Gilles Chatalet back in 1998:

"The citizen-thermostat-transparent creature of tertiary services, billiard ball inhabitant of a society free of both 'archaic' social conflict and confrontation, pleased with himself for existing only as a cybernetic tapeworm perfused with inputs and spewing outputs.

It is no exaggeration to speak of a cybernetic warden in relation to the thermostat-citizen who knows that 'communication is the cement of society' and that 'those who have made the clear maintenance of the channels of communication their business are those who have most to do with the continued existence or the fall of our civilization.' Worry not! The warden takes very seriously his role as thermostat: that of analyzing the external temperature of the environment (the inputs of opinion) and possibly producing 'feedback' by sending outputs designed to reestablish equilibrium, to the make the Great Campus optimally productive. Resplendent in the Sunday best of human rights and free will, our tapeworm-citizens flatter themselves with having driven out 'barbarism', with having finally attained the ideal of the weak."

The entire book this is taken from, "To Live and Think Like Pigs", is worth your time if you want to see an example of someone calling the future of middle class "culture" long before it reached present day levels. He does this just by drawing the 80s and 90s economic trends to their inevitable conclusion. Even the short intro rails against something he calls "The Techno-Populist" which nowadays is recognizable as a hybrid of the consoomer and Elon Musk fan.

I was just about to say "How does he prepare food in there" but let's be real the closest he gets to preparing food us heating up a hungry man or ordering mcdonalds.

I was just wondering about consoom hoards in that context. How do people keep their stacks of five thousand Funko Pop boxes clean and dusted? Do they disinfect their makeup collections? Just keeping bookshelves clean can be a pain in the ass, and you're not putting books on your face.

They don’t. Google “Brianna Wu dust” to see his filthy GURL power collection that’s caked in dust (except for his greasy fingerprints). Even if they are in good condition, expect the rest of the house to either be a disgusting hovel or full of college furniture and mattresses on the floor.

Makeup collections are gross because they do expire; I never knew this but most of them have a little logo that says 6M or 12M or something on the container, so they do go bad.

Makeup goes bad but most lasts long past the time on the packaging, it's mostly to cover the manufacturers. Unless you store it in conditions that encourage bacterial growth (ie. warm and damp, don't keep makeup in the bathroom) most powders will last several years beyond what the packaging says, creams do too but not quite as long as powders. The only things you really need to be strict about throwing out when the time is up are mascara and similar things that you're constantly sticking in your eyes and have no way of cleaning.

It's funny, in recent years there's been a big trend towards "clean" makeup because chemicals bad, but clean makeup tends to go rancid much more quickly because the ingredients are less stable and they leave out preservatives like parabens.

>hot topic halloween haul

>person posting it is fat enough for Torrid

t. fatty

That's it, fatty. You get more halloween consumption videos now.

 

[Vingle]

That's it, fatty. You get more halloween consumption videos now.

It was very fucking cringe with the guy mentioning Burberry all the time. Jeez, if you’re so obsessed with it, just buy the actual brand. What they were looking at is checkered print, for fucks sake. And the fucking screaming about Louis Vuitton

 

[Pissmaster]

Microtransactions are worse because hoarder houses are an interesting spectacle, while articles about broken people spending their life savings on FIFA are just boring and sad.

Jesus christ imagine having to ever move house

Id rather burn the fucking place for insurance than pack all that fucking shit

 

[melty]

I opened this on Reddit and thought "that's a shit ton of crystals"

Then I opened the comments and found this asshat flexing about how this is a "starter collection" and she has WAY more

 

[bigbombguy2222]

It's like choosing whether you'd rather receive a lethal injection or face the firing squad. Sure, one's probably preferable to the other, but that's not saying much, is it? On the one hand, there's literally filling your house to the brim with plastic junk you're never going to look at for more than a few seconds (let alone appreciate). On the other, there's blowing your money for a small dopamine rush that doesn't even give you anything substantial. Doesn't matter which one you choose, you'll end up miserable regardless.

 

[Whatsup bud?]

When we bought our house, my partner wouldnt let me put my nerd plastic anywhere. I donated it to the local tattoo place. Was kinda miffed at the time but....glad he made me do it now. Cause I'm a grownup.

 

[TaimuRadiu]

That's it, fatty. You get more halloween consumption videos now.

I was talking about the people who were originally posting the videos!

...

But yeah *someone* should stop setting the makeup gun to "whore" especially when you've loaded it with halloween makeup

Did you keep anything special, or does the very nature of nerd plastic preclude anything from being special?

Crystal people are special and that's an interesting subreddit you've found.

Well, the guy behind the camera looks like this, sooo.....

The video I originally posted is from what I literally just learned (I didn't notice the channel name until I tried to find it again) is actually from his separate channel just for shopping videos.

Spoiler: Oooh I hate this

Jesus Christ, Marie, they’re minerals.

In all seriousness, this is actually a pretty small crystal collection. Rocks are big and take up a lot of room. My daughter had a rock collection and it got stupid big really fast. That’s the one time I’ll defend consoomers in this thread. Rock collections tend to take up a lot of space.

The reply guy was a douche though, I agree with you on that one.
