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

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 days ago

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.

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 1 day ago

Dude but that's a pretty kickass TV.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day 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 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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!

She, for sure, did mot married you for your cable management.

"Honey, will you marry me?"

um, I dunno...

My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).

"Hot" in reference to snakes means venomous, and I know some centipedes have venom, so my assumption is that.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yea I meant venomous. Hubby was trying to woo me on the idea of keeping Vietnamese centipedes. Serious look them up on YouTube if you want some nightmare fuel. We used to breed Deathstalkers so I'm not opposed to keeping hots but I'm also a safety oriented person.

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 days ago

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

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