What do you love the look of despite it being impractical, uncomfortable, or high maintenance?

Orange. Shag. Carpet.
Yes, it's a bitch to clean. Yes, it traps every particle of dirt that wafts into the room. Yes, to almost everyone other than me and some equally damaged enthusiasts, it looks god awful.
But if I could carpet my whole house with it without that being grounds for divorce, I'd be doing it right now. It's the feeling between the toes, top-tier. I can't explain it - it's not like I grew up with it - but there's something about orange shag specifically that screams "comfy" to me.

The Cybertruck. It's dangerous, wasteful, impractical, and sold by a Nazi, but I actually like the appearance.
Liked the look until I got up close and personal. It's all bulk! The inside is cramped, for what it is, and the "bed" is laughable.

They're all 3 of those negatives, plus also super expensive!

Shaved legs, there's literally no practical benefit and it's so much effort but even if I wear long pants just having the knowledge I haven't shaved makes me so uncomfortable.
My Filipino wife was joking with her friend this weekend about how mystified I was that she never shaves her legs. On our first date her legs were so shiny I thought she had oiled them.

I definitely am interested in it, although I'm worried about buying a car from a new company's first production run. I haven't driven an electric car before but maybe it'll be fun.
Yeah, I’m not even confident most new electric brands I see will ever reach prototype stage, let alone become a successful business that can sustain operations. I really like the idea in this of a very basic vehicle, though, so I hope they succeed.

I think it looks like shit and I LIKE that it looks like shit. I'll never have one, but maybe there is a parallel reality where we have woke Musk, and I can also afford one.
There are plenty of ugly cars that dont cost nearly as much and are still offensive.
Nissan Juke seems to make people unhappy, as does a Pontiac Aztek. Older and weirder, a GM u-body van like a Chevy Lumina APV, Buick's last Riveria was shaped like a nicely tapered turd, Acura had the original ZDX that looked like a dog scrunched up to take a crap and the ugly beaky nose. People really hate the BMW 7 series that came out in 2001 for being ugly too. I'm guessing that they're all broken by now since they were horrific junk, but if you do find one, they're cheap.

Tile roof is durable as heck! https://roofsnap.com/blog/how-long-do-tile-roofs-last-what-roofers-need-to-know/

An antique Victorian or Queen Anne house. I love the towers, the gingerbread charm, the corbels and fascias and all the little crinkly bits. The rich old wood interiors with tin ceilings and plaster medallions, hand carved staircases and crown mouldings.
However I am never going to be able to afford the absurd cost of retrofitting one to be energy efficient, and I know the quirks of odd room sizes, antiquated floor plans and non-standard sized things like weird door heights and window widths would drive me absolutely insane. So I'll admire them from afar

White pants. I am not qualified to wear them, not careful enough, not neat enough, I always mess them up. But I love them!
Agree with old cars. I had a gorgeous mustang from 1967, a three speed manual, the clutch not hydraulic, no power steering. Hard to drive (I didn't trust many people with it) , broke down All The Fucking Time, was a wildly impractical car but oh what a looker. My car now I bought new in 2014, Honda Accord Sport 6 speed manual and I hope it's my last, it's beautiful too and better made, just enough tech to be good not bad, one day it will be vintage, I don't drive much anymore.

Awwww yeaahh...that's the good shit.
In my very last move with my parents, I almost got to have my dream room - wood paneling, old 70s orange-brown shag with pilling like a lawn in need of mowing, the works. I was staying behind in the old city a month longer than them, but I begged them to keep it exactly as is.
I moved in to find it was replaced with beige, boring carpet, with almost no pill to speak of. I was devastated.
They did you dirty, my friend. I'm so sorry. I will observe a moment of silence for your loss

Gothic architecture. So much extra work to sculpt all the spires, gables, grotesques and archways, for zero added functionality. But they look dope as fuck.
Incidentally I hate brutalist architecture.

From the very first one I saw in person, the wildly variable steps and gaps between panels was a big "nope". The very long single wiper blade on the windshield also tickled my engineer brain as "nightmare to maintain".

None of those cars look like Playstation 1 cars. These are Playstation 2 AT WORST. I lust for a low poly SACK OF SHIT

That’s a good one! The level of detail in gothic architecture is insane and gorgeous. I love seeing curves and rounded shapes in architecture in general. As for brutalism, I’ve seen some creative things done with this style too, although of course its advantages are durability and affordability rather than aesthetics. The modern minimalist trend in architecture where everything is beige/white/grey is what I dislike most.

Steam locomotives!!! Maybe not the full intent of this thread, but they’re terrible for the environment, inefficient, complicated as hell, and SO COOL!

Fully agree! It’s so much work and so incredible to look at and admire. Art deco too for the same reasons.
