What do you love the look of despite it being impractical, uncomfortable, or high maintenance?
-
The Cybertruck. It's dangerous, wasteful, impractical, and sold by a Nazi, but I actually like the appearance.
I agree for the front and side profiles, but from the back it is identical to a dumpster.

I would love to have a pet raccoon, but it'd probably take up a large portion of my time entertaining it and running after it, making sure it doesn't destroy my entire house.

Honestly, I don't even like the look
It's like watching a train wreck. You know it's bad, but you can't look away.

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.
You talking that weird orange with the bits of brown in it they used in the 70s?
You talking that high maintenance, orange brown shag?
You talking that deranged, I'll never-have-to-clean-it-myself carpeting?
Best shit ever.
My best friend bought a house that was last redecorated in the 70s, and had been unoccupied (but maintained and cleaned regularly) since the early 80s. I loved that carpet so much. Eventually we pulled it up and redid her hardwood floors, but my God did I miss that carpet when it was gone

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.

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.

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.
