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 was never one to hold a grudge, Jeffrey. My father held grudges. I’ll always hate him for that.”
I’m old and my body betrays me. I’m in denial
What does Egypt have to do with this?
Dats de nile
I thought that was Fraisers brother?
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.
Time to revive it!
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
“It began with the forging of the Gre-” zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
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.
you can, i can’t, locally.
depends where you live.
Where do you live that you can’t buy Tums? Honestly just curious.
Deep in an enchanted forest, where Amazon shipping costs as much as the item itself
But on the upside you’ll get to meet a hobbit as they are the only ones qualified to bring goods from the dark lord bezos through the enchanted forest.
But then he wouldn’t be a 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?
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !tvtoohigh@lemmy.world
Someone needs to resurrect it. That’s been dead almost as long as I’ve been on Lemmy.
My partner is a tv on the fireplace mantel viewed from a distance kind of guy. I’m a tv at or near eye level while sitting on the couch and viewed from a responsibly close distance kind of guy.
So we compromised, and placed the tv on the fireplace mantel all the way across the room from the couch.
I guess I’d fit in quite well in a tvtoohigh community.
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.

How could that even work? If you hang your TV that high then the ‘horizontal plane’ (from your eyes to the screen) would be diagonally across the room. You’d need a really weirdly shaped room. Where do you place your front height speakers? They would have to be above where the ceiling is and your rear speakers would effectively need to be below floor level.
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.
Absolutely horrid, so sorry
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 😩
Classic retro games it is! I’ll beat your high score at Donkey Kong! Or get the headshot in Goldeneye. You can even be oddjob!
Oddjob? More like blowjob to my superior gaming skills! (Eh, not my best joke. But all the pieces are there. Somebody do something with that…)
Thrine, Blur, Audiosurf, Lego: SW if you use just one Windows PC.
We’ve been getting into Pummel Party lately.
Mario Party-ish game with 8 people that is on PC and has Steam Workshop support for extra maps and minigames.
Not sure if the tv is high enough tbh,
If that pizza is the slightest bit too greasy, your clothes are gonna be done for.
I definitely envy that lol
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.
That would be amazing, one peperoni per… However I don’t think that’s peperoni at all, maybe barbecue sauce and chicken? Idk, if you zoom in it doesn’t look the same shape as the other guys ronis.
Huh, maybe.
Peak winning in life. Not kidding, this looks awesome.
