    I don’t disagree, just a quite reminder that not everyone can afford this. The meme doesn’t say it but it gives “money doesn’t buy happiness” vibes and while this isn’t false, a certain amount of money is required for this.

      Maybe I’m misunderstanding the picture, but I thought that’s why they were called luxuries - because not everyone gets to have them. Though they aren’t what we usually associate with a luxurious lifestyle.

      E: just to be clear, everyone should have them, but many are too occupied with the daily battle for survival.

          We call it expensive, which is a subtlety that the title of this meme poopooing on “consumerism” is missing out on.

          Hence, a boogie meme. Those of us down here in the dirt don’t have time for these luxuries; we consume imitations.

    The weird thing about this is, a few of these things are rather hard once you have kids. Don’t know the last time when I slept alone in my bed or had a slow morning. But well, you get other things in return, like the pure love of you children so it’s fine haha.

      That’s because we destroyed the primitive communal family to create the nuclear family. Humans throughout most of history would raise their children collectively, rather than all the responsibility just being dumped directly onto the parents.

      And they wonder why we don’t have kids lol
