Are you guys for real? You really see no problem living in an apartment like this? It doesn't have to be piled with shit like some white woman's apartment but at least get a couch, two chairs, a coffee table, and a bookshelf. It's called being an adult. That living room just looks fucking depressing, christ. How are you supposed to sit down and have some drinks with your friends?

People with apartments like this don’t have those.

>>11878494

>>11878494
very bold of you to assume i have friends.

>>11878448
When I moved into a new apartment a week before the roommates moved in, it was a couch about 6 inches away from a table. Gaming laptop, TV with xbox, and a bong. Only had to get up to take a piss, grab a drink, or drive 2 minutes to Taco Bell. Probably chronically masturbated 5 times a day. Ahhh, hedonism before it catches up on you is a glorious window.

NORMIES LEAVE

my first apartment I only had enough money to buy a cheap sleeping bag and a clock radio. the sleeping bag box was my table to hold the clock. now I have pretty much anything I want and i miss those past days when I think about them.
Stay young, faggots.

>>11878494
hi kat.

i have a toaster, microwave and a kettle
any more than that and you are a homosexual
i only just bought the kettle today after not having one for years

>>11878494
i don't have any extra chairs because it means my family won't come round to visit me, this is more important than being able to entertain friends

>>11878494
My friends used to just lean or sit on the ground while we played halo or Mario kart and got drunk with a couple little Caesars pizzas. God I miss being young

>>11878508
Don't worry, you can unrustle those jimmies. I'm a full fledged alcoholic now, since I'm deep in that weed extrapolates the anxiety that booze dependence gives you. (btw getting up for a drink in that last post was beer)

>implying the opinion of a thot matters

>>11878448
My first apartment was like that for a little bit luckily me and my gay obese roommate both had no problem taking furniture off the side of the road.

>>11878448
>How much appliances and gadgets should a kitchen have
A fork and a knife so you don't have to wash your hands after eating takeout will suffice.
Unless you decide to go through the bothers of cooking food yourself, but I know you know better than to waste your time on such things.

>>11878494
Why are you judging the way someone else lives if it makes them happy and doesn't hurt anyone?

>>11878689
It doesn't. When 200k people think it however

If you work all the time, every time what the fuck is the point of spending money on decors that you are not even around to utilize.

Useless cunt with fucked up priority - entertaining retards is more important than prudent living within your means. If your friends fret about trivial, superficial shit like sitting on couch and chair instead of the carpet, then maybe they were not your friends after all.

>>11878783

>STUPID GOYIM, WHY AREN'T YOU SPENDING MORE

From what furniture? You didn't pick a mattress, at least?

This is my dining room. I almost never eat there. Don't even have a chair at the table any more. I only have one chair and I needed to put it in the living room so I had something to sit on in front of the television.

I don't believe in unnecessary possessions. I don't need chairs for guests because I don't have guests. The table is nice because I can set things on it sometimes though. I own two pots, one small and one big, a frying pan, a plate, and a bowl. Four kettles and about 25 porcelain mugs.

THIS THREAD IS FUCKING BULLSHIT, FUCK YOU PEOPLE. TABLES HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS

>>11879280
Are you stupid? Do you think bedbugs only infest beds? I didn't get it from picking up furniture. I got it from sitting on a couch in a lobby. Yes, it's that easy, which is why I wouldn't risk getting roadside shit because I literally threw a couch out for curbside pickup because it wasn't worth getting treated. I ripped it up just so scroungers like you wouldn't take it but I know for a fact some people aren't as courteous.

>>11879290
He has a bar-top to eat at. Why the fuck would he need a table? Seems like owning a stool would be nice, but it might be in the kitchen.

>SHALL

>>11878448
I've got too much shit.
I recently bought a food processor, even though I knew I'd probably never really need it.
It looked real nice and it was on sale.
I promised myself I wouldn't buy it before hand, but I still did.
It is nice though.

Still, don't buy one unless you've got at least +3 people to cook for. Get pic related instead, it's grate.

Anyway, excluding ingredients, 3 knives, 4 pans, some wooden spoons, an oven and a few bowls is about the minimum you really need.

>>11879285
How is shit like this always still so fucking filthy and terrible? You have NO furniture yet you still can't clean up after yourself? What the fuck?

>>11879370
the trash can was here when I moved in like many things that were here since the former occupants stole away in the dead of night to avoid financial obligations.

It may look like a crackhouse, but therein lies it's true beauty. I get to live in a house with many advantages. Since no one wants to live in a rundown house, the rent for it's size is very cheap, and any defects are cosmetic. As well, the landlord wants to demolish my house, and you know what that means? I can do whatever I want. No one else wants this trash heap so once i move out or die, he's going to bulldoze it and erect a residence that doesn't offend the tastes of normies. I can smoke in my study all I want, and i have other schemes ongoing currently that I shouldn't reveal. I have all the benefits of home ownership, with none of the drawbacks, and I can abandon this place in the dead of night if the time ever comes that I have to do that myself. If you have three or four tables, it's harder to run away, you can't carry that many tables. That's one reason I have so few tables.

>>11879421
>renting this piece of shit
holy fuck thats terrible

>>11879417
that is what it looks like when it's clean. until a few days ago, there was a debris field very tall in the area around the garbage can from all the times I didn't make the throw into the trash can, or simply got too lazy to walk all the way to the trash can and just tossed it on the the floor. It's not real laziness, I guess, it's just that once there's too much trash on the floor, there's no path for me to walk to the trash can even if I wanted to.

>>11879044
Why do you have to make it so obvious that you are a roastie?

>>11879429
Are you happy with life, anon?

>>11879436
Well, I spend less time than the average person worrying about such trivialities like where garbage goes or where I put my ketchup, but the downside is that when I go out in public I have to contend with intolerable fools who criticize me for where I set my ketchup. I could tell him to fuck off or throw the ketchup across the room, but the gain is negligible.

And that's what life is, I'll just deal with pointless discussions about ketchup until I die. Though I got a new job offer today, company car and all. That's a good. There's a free tip for you, even if you think you're working a dead end job, there's always a way to advance. Now I get to teach people how to work dead-end jobs. It should be very rewarding.

>>11879430
Only women can have friends? I'm just making fun of bitter, clueless faggots. You think maybe if your shit-hovel seemed more hospitable, then the it might have an avenue for friends that you may have.

>>11879171
There's something more satisfying doing it in the living room if it's still daylight.

>>11879476
Where do you put your ketchup anon?

>>11879476
Your parents really fucked up.

>>11878448
only the ones you use

>>11879230
that's why you don't pick up anything that has fabric on it, and inspect it before taking it in.

I got a bookshelf and a table from the street, among other things. Bedbugs are a serious concern and should be, but if you're not stupid about picking up furniture then you won't get them.

I dunno, I was at a restaurant recently, and this sort of thing happens often, just in other forms, but there was no ketchup at the bar, where I was sitting, at the bar, but every table had ketchup on it, so I just went to an empty table to obtain my ketchup and after the meal some fellow customer admonished me for not returning my ketchup to where I retrieved it from and I told him that he could put the ketchup wherever he likes.

>>11879826

This fag is so hell bent on shaming people for deciding they don't need to buy stuff to accommodate guests in their home that they'll call it uninhabitable, you're equating living with one seat in your house to living in a lethally mold-infested shithole.

I enjoy the ritual of preparing a meal and eating it at a proper table. Not implying I don't eat in front of a screen or standing up most of the time, but sometimes it feels good

>>11880019
if you had the view I had from my table I doubt you'd like sitting there. The age of tables is over anyway, all the old people who used to insist that there be no distractions at the dinner table have installed mini tvs in the kitchen so they can watch stuff. It'd be easier if they gave up the dining room altogether but that's the way it goes.

the only thing i used my table for in the eating department was grapefruits because of how messy they are, but I've found a way to optimize even that and eliminate the mess.

Fuck I want to get rid of all my stupid shit now.

Also an immersion blender, fridge and freezer.
With these things, you can cook pretty much 90% of things you would probably ever need to do, even if some stuff will be overly labour-intensive withoutr using specialized equipment. >Smoke stuff?

I used to live in a student apartment (studio-ish), which only had a small fridge, smaller freezer and two stovetop plates for 6 years. It was frustrating, but I actually learned a lot about using heat in minimalistic ways to cook food. That being said, I still think that sous-vide equipment is superior for certain applications, but if we're talking about stuff that should be in every household, my list should be somewhat sufficient. I may have missed a few items though.

>>11881941
Nice list. I would add:

1. A high power blender that can make nuts disappear because i'm a smoothie loving faggot.
2. Immersion blender, doubles as hand mixer.
3. A panini grill because I fucking love my toast sandwiches, and it's kind of annoying and slow to get cheese to melt when toasting in a pan or griddle.
4. A teflon pan exclusively for fish and eggs.

>>11882064
So at night people can clearly see in your window when your light is on? Where do you live? Asking for a friend.

>>11882117
I love me some high-powered blenders, but if we're talking minimum equipment, an immersion blender+sieve does the trick technically. As I mentioned here >>11881952, it is more labour-intensive, but if someone is a cheap fag or poor bastard, then that's the solution.

Panini grill is not a minimum required item, I would say. Fry your toast slices in the pan, assemble, and let heat in the oven until the cheese melts.

Separate pan for fish is a good idea. However, I strictly advice anyone to NOT buy teflon. Those fucking pans do nothing if you know how to properly fry stuff, and they basically become unusable after a couple of years.

>>11882154
Ah, crafty bastard.... So you blend whatever can blend, then use a sieve, put some liquid along with remaining solids and re-blend?.

I'm currently living in a flat with a ridiculously small kitchen with no room for a blender. Thank fuck I'm moving out soon. In the meantime I will try that out!

>>11882184
You don't have to reblend-basically, what you want is a smooth solution. Using a high-powered blender will get you that, because it manages to pulverize the produce into such fine particles that you can't perceive any thick enough granules. If using an immersion blender+sieve, you basically let any particles "liquid enough" through the sieve, but leaving the granular stuff which you would perceive in your palate in the sieve. Meaning that once you sieved everything, you'd get a lower yield of your resulting puree, but it would be just as fine as if you would have mixed it in the high-powered blender, and you wouldn't have to process it further - it would be liquid enough.

Sauce: I've been attempting molecular gastronomy cooking on an extremely low budget for years, nowadays I have most of high-tech equipment though. I'd be happy to answer any more questions regarding crafty cooking.

When i was living in a house with roommates, it was almost as empty like that as well. But alas, if it's your own house, should feel like a home.

Yeah, it usually doesn't look like a Detroit shoothouse. It's not "manly," to live like a fucking crackhead.

>>11880082
I have a 650sq ft apartment with furniture. It takes maybe an hour and a half to clean it every few weeks. Boo fucking hoo.

I have to buy enough food to keep multiple people alive, but I'm the only person who lives freely in my house. That's all I'm saying, and any conclusions you draw are your own.

>>11880099
>Mine has a chess board and I eat off it
Based, I've done that as well, but my mom bought me a set of plates. I just own a computer desk with a wall mounted monitor, and I eat and drink there, no TV, no kitchen table.

>>11884436

Add a tatami and eat like the Japs.

>>11882213
>molecular gastronomy cooking
Anon, I'd love to hear about your attempts in that, both failed and successful.

>>11878494
honestly I could go without the chair, or the tv stand, or the tv
really all I need is a bed and something with a hard surface like a desk or a table
if I wasn't a big guy and had someplace to shower I'd probably even be okay living in my car

>>11884554

>>11884593
Only reason I'm not living in a car is because I can't drink and shitpost comfortably without sitting at a table.

My apartment walls are plastered with anime posters, concert flyers, and japanese zen gardens. I have one small shelf with half of it dedicated to anime goods and one half japanese pottery. Also have spot for liquor. No kitchen, so the one table I own is all purpose. Is that better than nothing like pic related.

>>11878494
>a bookshelf.

literal boomer trash to give off an aura of intellect

>>11886301
not if you actually read books

>>11878448
Psh i wouldn't even spend that on the living room, all the money id have for furnishing would go to the kitchen, bathroom and my bedroom where I'm sleeping for the first 6 months I'd be living in a place, if i stayed longer then that i might put a motorcycle in the living room and a smart tv on the wall to watch while im in the kitchen, but thats about it for the living room beyond a cheap couch maybe.

>>11886301
I've got lots of books I haven't read yet, so it's good to have them all in view when choosing what to read next. Most of what I've actually read can go in a chest or be sold/ given away.

That apartment is sterile and depressing. If one's space says anything about their personality then this screams boring fuck with little ambition or capacity to enjoy life. Everyone here is either at work or at home. Why not make your home somewhat relaxing? If you can't take care of plants at least get some shelves or cool lights.

>>11879285

Gotta be Eastern Europe

>>11886700
Minimalism and meditation is infinitely more relaxing than any of your materialist ideas of self expression.

>>11878448
Personally, I think a fridge, stove/oven, toaster, electric kettle, microwave oven, electric can opener, rice cooker, and a crock pot will handle just about anything you'll need to cook.

>>11886709
Agreed, but only partially.
It doesn't take many things to make your desk comfy. A poster, one or two figures, a plant maybe. Might as well put some effort into how your desk looks at least, if you're already wasting your life there.

>>11886709
Yeah I bet that guy does a lot of meditation while playing his Xbox.

>>11879285
As long as you're not hurting anyone this doesn't offend me. I'd never associate with you anyway and vice versa so enjoy your life you weird fuck.

No, yours is different. It has some personality and far more utility. It's also clean

Kys you dumb subhuman

>>11878448

>Furniture and art is a Jewish conspiracy
>Owning a TV is mandatory

You niggers are so fucking cucked it's unbelievable. The sheer thought that the vast majority of you robot polack subhumans will never spread your weak genes fills me with joy. If you own a TV in current year just fucking neck yourself.

If you don't own any books, paintings or plants you need to reevaluate your past decisions.

'My entire life literally revolves around a screen and a chair, that's all there is to it.' Sort yourself out, mouth breather.

>>11886709

>Minimalism

Hahahaha holy fuck. The word you're looking for isn't minimalism, it's autism, chief. Minimalism is an aesthetic. That room looks like a streaming turd.

>>11879421
>If you have three or four tables, it's harder to run away, you can't carry that many tables. That's one reason I have so few tables.
Can't argue with that!

>>11887011
Your entire post right is predicated on the fact that you're staring at a screen right now you dumb fuck. A tv is just a monitor.

>>11884591
Somewhat successful dish I've made was this one from the Alinea cookbook: https://www.allenhemberger.com/alinea/2010/02/verjus-lemon-thyme-beets-olive-oil/
It turned out OK, spherification was my first attempt at doing it, and it actually worked very well (reverse spherification). Though I didn't have a silicone mold of an appropiate size, so the beetroot spheres turned out a bit larger than intended. Still edible though.
I have not really made any inedible fuckups. Worst examples I can think of has to do with trying to approximate a Thermomix by using a blender and hot liquid (as in trying to make emulsified chocolate sauce, or black garlic romesco from one of Wylie Dufresne's recipes).

It's a slippery slope. I started just wanting to improve my cooking by watching Heston videos on youtube (https://youtu.be/03h5T_tiyx0)), and a couple of years later I'm neck deep into fine dining. Not complaining though!

Every. Fucking. Time.

Know what I did? Built my wife a "sewing room" where she watches HBO and Netflix all day so I could then build my own space to get away from her and kids for like 1 hour a day until the bitch shows up asking why the kids are getting into shit like she was super-busy in her "sewing room" and expected me to handle them while she was "sewing"

Yay marriage.

Why spend $20 on a folding chair when you're just going to spend $150 on a real chair a little bit later? It's a waste of $20. They can sit on the floor for a few weeks, or you go somewhere else to hang out. Restaurants and bars have chairs, too.

Should it be the other way around? "Mortar and pestle"? I'm not a native english speaker.

I didn't say what was there is necessary, just that not buying more thing isn't necessarily bad.

Like you don't need to litter your room with candles and other trinkets to be an adult

>>11889055
>having additional seating, a table, and other common household furniture is "littering your room"

>>11878448
This is almost exactly what my gfs place looks like. Should I be concerned?

>>11889066
I am not saying any of those things are bad, just that its fucking dumb to say men are bad because they don't like buying things, but also say astrology is real, like get your own shit together before whining about other groups of people

>>11889011
Women have an insecure pack rat mentality and it's why they're vulnerable to the most simplistic marketing ploys. Surrounding themselves with meaningless and worthless "things" is a means of confirming their self worth no matter the debt they accrue to gather them.

>>11889079
If the first things you buy for your new apartment are not furniture you're virgin, gay and incel.

>>11889226
The OP is a bit of a hyperbolic example but what you are missing is that women are never satisfied when it comes to buying things for the home. No matter how much furniture you buy, it is not enough or not nice enough, and always needs more trinkets to cover surfaces and walls, you always need to spend more

>>11879285

You only need a knife, spoon, pan, and a pot. Anything more is unnecessary gimmickry that takes up space.

>>11889002

yes...just like women

ITT: /ck/ becomes /r9k/

the only furniture in my apartment besides my bed are 4 folding tables, 2 metal folding chairs, a desk I got from ikea and a swivel chair from staples. I keep all my belongings in 18 gallon plastic boxes. I have 4 for clothes and around 8 more for other stuff.

>>11890243
>she's just like us

You might want a cutting board fucker. And bowls. And a whisk. And a scale. And for you to take your head out of your ass.

>>11889249
You are trying to argue a different point. Not having adequate seating and basic shit like end tables, coffee table, barstools, blinds/curtains etc is just pathetic. Same goes for people without a bed frame, kys.

What's the best thermos for hot foods? Some of them have lids with plastic in them which I've seen some people complain it melts to the thermos itself due to the hot contents inside, rendering it inaccessible

>>11878448
Only as much as you're going to use. I've been considering storing/selling my microwave because I don't use it often enough, except for microwave popcorn which is in fact; the shit.

My girlfriend has a bunch of tea and coffee stuff that I don't use, except for the electric kettle which can knock out some ramen pretty quickly. She loves tea and coffee though.

Stand Mixer, Oven, 4 burner stove minimum, knives, sharpener, and food processor are my minimum

>>11890663
Beware the ones with plastic lids. I had a vacuum mug and fucking broke it using it for coffee.

Then again we live in the generation of Doc Marten for life being gone. Fuck our quality assurance. If you registered an older pair congratulations we will honor it, but we won't because we'll never get back to you.

So let me get this straight:

The reason you don't have furniture or tables is so that for some unfathomable reason you have to run away during the night and can only carry essentials, you can take a goddamn folding table with you? Not food, or clothes, or maybe even your PC - you're taking a table?

>>11888798
what if you are extremely heavy

>>11893203
nothing you said made sense

>>11879923
I like you anon. Wish more people would act this way.
What boards do you visit / do you like to do in your free time?

>>11878448
I have way more shit in the kitchen than the rest of the house.
Also the garage.
Men buy tools. Women waste money.

>>11878448
as much as you want as long as you use it but having it is a thing for people not really i am going to use it so it doesn't matter

>>11879285
even the cat looks depressed as fuck

>>11894130
Not a whole lot. Sit in front of my computer. It is winter though. Might go out in the summertime and walk around at night until the cops stop me again so I can shout at them. They like to stop men walking alone at strange hours and I like to shout at them so it's a nice shared interest me and the police have. maybe take up archery, but I might have to wait until I have my own private forest to engage in that otherwise I have to pay a farmer to let me practice shooting in one of his fields. I'm working on getting money to get a nice little forest where I can spend my days hiding.
