we're not Nazis btw - awful.systems

you would never see a scene like this in a Nazi household

Reaching through my screen into this photo so I can pull out the rifle and shoot myself

Who thought it would be a good idea to keep that in a household with 3 kids under 5. Is it just so they can flash it at Republicans and win primary votes??

it kinda looks like turkish over/under, not very patrotic of them (cheapest in category)

ok so this is driving me crazy

am I weird for thinking the circle of candles in the fireplace (in a house that’s allegedly unbearably cold) is weird?

is this… are these motherfuckers roleplaying a dril tweet

It’s weird, but it’s normal weird. It’s the kind of thing you see in design magazines and pinterest and the spruce. I don’t know if actual rich people do it but it’s definitely fairly normal middlebrow home decor.

(A lot of fireplaces in older US buildings are vestigial, often blocked up, and are inefficient at heating.)

“24 Ideas for Putting Candles in a Fireplace” sounds like a McSweeney’s headline.
it’s also definitely the sort of shit you see in some midmarket airbnb’s (because it’s in design magazines)
Fuck this hyperreal composition. Dalí is spinning in his grave.
