/r/tvtoohigh was a tragic loss to humanity the day Reddit died.
This airBNB was supposed to be a "relaxing retreat" but now I need therapy after this shit.

Bro I re-created that sub here a couple months back. Hasn’t caught traction yet

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !tvtoohigh@lemmy.world
clueless_stoner@lemmy.world 2 years ago
hopefully it might now!
LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Could we make a new one here on Lemmy?
nucleative@lemmy.world 2 years ago
These kind of ultra niche subs really need a huge audience. I’m afraid contributors would be posting in the dark for a while if it was here.
malloc@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I re-created it a couple months back. Not too much activity lately tho. I used to self post from random home improvement shows. Couple of posts fp’d.
Couple of people even posted their own.
I haven’t been active lately but I do keep tabs on it
CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Part of the problem with any community coming over to lemmy would be the moderation. It’s hard work and often thankless.

Feel free to x-post to lemmy.world/c/tvtoohigh 😀
Damn that’s some god awful placement. Please have Airbnb reimburse mental therapy fees

And this is why Reddit won’t be replaced any time soon.

And physical therapy for the neck pain

The minimalistic cable management is very relaxing :)

A Zen garden of sorts…

With Koible pond
wsweg@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Crazy how it looks like there’s even conduit in place to route the cables in the wall, but they just didn’t even bother.
Donttaintmebro@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
Looks like power is going through the wall conduit to the power bar up top. The other cables feed in to the box on the shelf under the tv.
Shorter cables and proper cable management would help a bit here.

Because there’s a giant brick that would cover half of the strip.

They didn’t even need to put it that high
MacAttak8@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I love how no one has mentioned the shoddy electrical wiring running along the baseboard. TV is too distracting!
DragonAce@lemmy.world 2 years ago
My guess is whoever lived there before had a much larger TV mounted on the wall and then an entertainment center under it for peripherals (hence plugs on the ends down below). Current owner slapped the cheapest/smallest TV they could still mount on the wall thinking it would cover the old cable management setup

You have OCD don’t you lol
oldGregg@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Yeah I need to touch the stove before bed or my family will die. And I save my pee on jars in case god needs it. But unorganized cables man. totally the worst part of OCD

Did my father install that television?
davemate@lemmy.world 2 years ago
This is why I carry velcro cable ties everywhere
LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I do too. But I’m a camera operator and also travel with 5 large pelican cases full of gear.

and also travel with 5 large pelicans
That’s how I choose to read it and I won’t be swaywed from the mental image of you and your waterfowl 😁

I usually get air b and B’s for the location not the ambiance but this could be worse. Usually they have pictures before you rent too.
I never really have issues to be honest though. I usually try to pay a little more to find a nice place and if there aren’t any I’ll just get a hotel. Some cities air b and b is a better option like near a beach or in a historic town where you can get a whole house near somewhere fun. It’s ok for cabins too. Hotels are easier and a more convenient experience depending on the company.

People love the idea of wall mounted tvs. But they have no will to consider the details.
At least it’s not also over a fireplace.
IndefiniteBen@leminal.space 2 years ago
At least they have an excuse if it’s mounted over the fireplace.
What compelled them to mount it so high on an almost blank wall?!
BossDj@lemm.ee 2 years ago
I bet it’s excellent in a laid-back recliner
flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
So true (about the details). Really doesn’t work retro fitting
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
Well it’s possible to retrofit, you need to be willing to open the wall which is not a bad thing as it allows you to make a frame so you can center the TV exactly where you want it.
soloner@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I have a TV over the fireplace. Do you think it’s too high? To me it feels good.

Donjuanme@lemmy.world 2 years ago
While being over a fireplace causes the TV to sit too high, the real concern with that location is heat and particulate matter released from the fireplace.
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
There’s no perspective without floor, but based on the shelves I’d say it’s too high. A TV should be at roughly eye level from where you look at it.
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
Okay now show me a fireplace over a TV
paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 years ago
If it works for you that’s great. Every one I’ve experienced is so high up that it is literally a pain in the neck.
scottywh@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I love my TV over my fireplace.
People are weird.
fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 years ago
High enough to be.
paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 years ago
That’s true
amenotef@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Indeed. I have my TV on a TV desk and behind it there is a mess of cables, all kind of hidden.
On my desk I have:
