Who has seven friends?!?

"It would get old fast"? Op, I'm afraid you don't have good friends. When I was a university student, I was in a shared apartment with two friends. It was great: you always had someone to do stuff with and group activities were much easier to schedule.

Now that I'm older it would be nice to easily check who's up for something, spontaneously grill with everyone or simply sit together in the evening and talk.

My friends group still goes on vacation together from time to time and I love it. If your friends are only enjoyable in small doses... I don't know... that sounds sad.

Also with a house of your own, everyone would have enough space to retreat if necessary.

Besides from the bad gardening that was mentioned by the other posts, I would love to live like this.

The only problem I see here is the lack of fences, trees, and plants. And the size of the houses is a bit too big for my needs.

I want a place like this but I get a bunch of weird artists who visit and camp out for a while and I make them pancakes and they help me do chores.

My inspiration is Mattersville

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Slop.

That aside, I choose friend 3. The only one without a driveway. Though if I did have a garage, I could establish my workshop there, hm...

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

yeah 3 is way too difficult to get materials to the shop

I don't mind it being in the back instead of a garage, in fact I'd prefer it as it's farther from the neighbours (less noise over to them), but none at all? deal breaker

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 hours ago

I'm fine with this considering my house is not in the picture.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 hours ago

Hell. I don't want a huge house. And where's the commerce and culture?

Friends 1 and 7 control the choke point and use it to starve the rest of the friends.

Calm down Netanyahu

I've seen people rag on the suburbia of it all but no one has questioned the premise. If the suburban housing was the premise, then it shouldn't matter who the neighbors are and the length of time would be irrelevant: you just wouldn't want to live in the suburbs.

The premise is implying something about the idea of living by friends is masking the inherent problems with the situation. And that mask would fall off after some time had passed. But, if you don't like the suburbs as 90% of y'all felt compelled to make clear, why would that be suppressed and only resurface after time passes?

Why would living by friends turn into a nightmare scenario? If you can't stand being neighbors with them, then I'd argue you guys weren't really friends. Or you have novel ideas about how much you have to interact with neighbors.

Plus that big wide field where your kids are going to be snacked up by rocs.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago

Because it's 10 miles from public transit and Friend 3 has to bum rides from everyone?

[–] PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world 22 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Where am I gonna get Vietnamese food in this shitty desolate suburb?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)
[–] MBech@feddit.dk 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Vietnamese food just isn't the same unless it comes from a far to small kitchen, with some ancient vietnamese couple yelling at each other. Can really taste that passion.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 53 minutes ago* (last edited 52 minutes ago)

Channel that energy. Become that fighting couple. Fry angry. Chop resentfully.

I call it “method cooking.”

It’s how I make amazing tomato sauce.

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Well that's a shitty looking commune.

My frat house was like this but with one house. Didn't get old.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 48 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

This is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this.

(Ed, Edd & Eddy was sooo good)

[–] kadup@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

I also really respect and like the finale, which is rare for a cartoon

Who is this “everyone”? Because this ain’t even remotely my dream.

  1. House needs to be in the mountains
  2. Fuck lawns
  3. I don’t have this many friends (by choice)
  4. If I did, I wouldn’t want to be in this close of proximity to them
  5. This place probably has an HOA which is a big fat NOPE
[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Your home can look like this. No HOA needed!

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Works for me! I’d love to say I built a house. That’s real accomplishment.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That really would be the bomb!

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 hours ago

this would be the perfect place to write a book about how much you hate the industrialised world

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

There’s one guy I want to hang out with regularly. He can have the adjoining 150 acres and we’ll put a shack full of liquor with some comfy chairs on the border.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 5 points 4 hours ago

That’s a valuable thing to hold onto. Everyone needs and deserves companionship.

My wife is my best friend. We both work from home, so we spend like 90% of our time together.

Who is out here with that many friends??

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Fuck, yeah, I mean 7 friends seems like a lot to manage.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Leave some for the rest of us.
