TV Too High @lemmy.world unexposedhazard @discuss.tchncs.de 3mo ago

Wholesome context, but the TV is too high none the less.

I wouldn't last more than 45 min with a setup like that. I'm falling asleep immediately.

I am over 40, and I still do stuff like that. I always wondered where the line of crossing over from child to adult would be, but I haven't found it still.
- You’d be surprised!
  
  I went to one years ago, based on sharing food and smoking weed, and we were all up until well after 2 a.m. The youngest was 29-something and the oldest well past 80. We had so much fun.
  
  I've seen a 70 year old be an active member in an university student organisation
- I'm old and my body betrays me. I'm in denial
  
  What does Egypt have to do with this?
  
  Same here. I'm eating that hero with roasted peppers on it, to hell with the consequences!! I'm invinci--....ughhh heartburrrrrnnn...
- waking up in an hour with a stiff back and full bladder is even worse than falling asleep so soon.
Man, that is a terrible angle for both eating and TV watching.
- A wizard should know better.
- TV too high
  
  Is there a community for that on Lemmy? That used to be one of my guilty pleasure subreddits.
  
  Edit: someone linked it below but it's pretty damn dead.
- It wouldn't matter anyway, I'd be unconscious 2 minutes after laying down.
  
  Warm pizza box on my stomach? Yeah, I wouldn't last long
- The angle is so bad that I was wondering if it was a joke about them falling asleep right at the start of their movie-marathon, before even eating their pizza.
That’s all well and good but eating pizza lying down like that while being over 40 is just asking for heartburn.
- baking soda.
  
  it doesn't dissolve well, so a straw is a massive help, instead of trying to swirl it into the water off the sides of the glass.
  
  not helpful for a low-sodium diet, but sure kills that burn real quick.
  
  burp
  
  You know you can buy cheap, slightly-minty calcium carbonate tablets that do the same thing, rather than living like a 16th century witch.
that is a very good angle to choke on your pizza
My back would be screaming
- It's probably the only way you can be semi-comfortable watching a TV over a fireplace tho.
  
  Is there a tvtoohigh community here?
  
  False. Any good lounge should have you reclined and looking naturally towards the joint between the wall and ceiling. Having a tv that is at eye line while you are sitting vertically is not comfortable when you are lounging. You end up crooking your neck down.
  
  It’s apples and oranges for how you prefer to lounge, but I hate TVs placed even with eye-level while I’m standing if I am in a legit lounge. I recognize that other people like to be more vertical while they sit, as I’ve had this argument with a close friend… but for me, the lounge is king.
- My GERD would have all that pizza immediately backwashing into my mouth if I were to lie down and eat like that
  
  Enter my life:
  
  Bedridden from chronic illness + Severe GERD
  
  I swear to god I got fucking cursed so bad. I don’t think shit’s tasted normal in years, everything sour and nauseating.
- You should look into getting a roman chair. Life changing piece of equipment, basically idiot-proof, and you can find quality ones for less than $100 online.
I'd choke trying to eat pizza like that
- Mass suicide setup.
I wish I had friends like this....
- Same bro, I'd be your friend.
  
  Are we all friends now?
They watched CrowdStrike TV instead it seems.
For as long as I know people who will accept the invite, I will continue to ask friends to come over and play video games all night.
- ........which video games?
  
  Varies. A lot of horror games, whenever someone's too scared they hand the controller to the next guy.
  
  Last time we fired up Ratchet and Clank Deadlocked on an emulator for some multiplayer.
  
  Not a lot of local multiplayer games on current consoles anymore 😩
  
  Thrine, Blur, Audiosurf, Lego: SW if you use just one Windows PC.
Not sure if the tv is high enough tbh,
I definitely envy that lol
If that pizza is the slightest bit too greasy, your clothes are gonna be done for.
Last time I saw this, it was "the game" they were all set to watch.
- The words "the Lord of the Rings trilogy." are darker and lower than the rest of the text. Its definitely edited.
  
  New competition. What are the funniest words to insert?
- My husband had Fatal Attraction on repeat for a few weeks. I asked him why and he said it was some sort of schadenfreude at those who put their dicks in crazy. Glenn Close really did play an excellent psycho bitch though.
Ok, I gotta ask. Why is the pepperoni in a spiral for two of them?
- That pizza place doesn't like Rich Evans.
- You can eat it without needing to pick it up if you cut it in a spiral. Not that I’ve ever done such a thing…
  
  The pepperoni, not the entire pizza. Though, it could be. There's just no way to tell.
Peak winning in life. Not kidding, this looks awesome.
OMG HE JUST KEEPS HIS TURNTABLE UNCOVERED?!?! The dust ...
- Maybe before the LotR trilogy they were watching The Wizard of Oz and listening to Dark Side of the Moon to see if they really sync up, and just forgot to cover it back up
Why the dude in the middle got a crop circle pizza?
Can I be their friend too?
Except my body doesn't like bedtimes after 12 anymore.
It sounds fun but also I now have a hard time falling asleep if I’m not holding my wife, so I’m not sure if I could do this
- Just gotta roll over and hold your bro. I'm sure they would understand.
- I know how you feel because its the same for me.
  
  You should probably find your own wife though.
IME sleepover just turned into let's drink which = sleeping wherever drinking is happening
We do sometimes have similar movie sleepovers with couple friends, it's just the best.

Best part? 10+ hours of party but we're not expected to chat constantly. An hour of silence doesn't matter =D
Extended cut?
- Extended cut
  
  Extended cut
- There's no other way to do it.
There is a rule about putting a TV over a fireplace though...
Only one medium(?) pizza each for like 10+ hours worth of movies? Cmon now, you can do better than that!
- at dawn of the third film, look to my coming at the door
- I'm wondering if it's possible that the house is a bit larger than just this little bit that's shown in the photo and that there may be more space where additional food items could be placed or stored.
- We've had one pizza, yes, but what about second pizza?
Those boys are going to get grease in their beards.
- Saving some flavor for later
Grotto Pizza?
Hope they didn't forget the adult diapers!
staged af
- No way
Yea, that doesn't look like any kind of fun

There are reasons we "grow out of sleepovers".
- I think you just stopped getting invited for being so much fun
