Nah
An impossible list of requirements
*Chugs down nutrient liquid
Ain’t no one got time for that.

I have oatmeal, an apple, and some kind of protein almost every morning. Just feels nice.
They lived across the hall from each other. It actually made sense in this case.
Ross lived elsewhere
Only across the street, they can see into the window
Did we ever see where Phoebe lived? Can’t remember it.
Good point. But, I don’t even have breakfast with people in my own house. Just don’t have time and different schedules.
Would have to be “perfectly” aligned with one another to pull this off in different apartments.
I eat breakfast at my desk at work because the milk is free then.
Do you work at a dairy farm?
I wish. We had a weird schedule at work the other day and I left the house after sunrise… Golly, I know it’s February but I swear I could hear the birds and see godly sunshine the whole drive. “Is this what empowerment feels like?” I thought.
These were supposed to be young people with very laid back schedules. That’s what the vibe of the show was about. I’m pretty sure there isn’t a shortage of groups of young adults with moderately wealthy parents living in this sort of bohemian setting now and there certainly wasn’t one in the 90s.
But yeah, it isn’t universal and it can come across badly in sine cases
We did this in college when we all lived in the same apartment complex. It’s was a whole thing where whoever had the latest class would cook eggs every Monday and Thursday morning, and it lasted an entire year before it fell apart due to various commitment issues.
Posting when you’re supposed to be working?
How about the notion that one can afford to live in NYC while working at a coffee shop with only one roommate
That’s not an absurdity, and if it looks like one then it’s the world that’s wrong.
That’s part of the point.
The apartment was rent controlled, and legally leased by Monica’s dead grandmother. Monica was committing fraud.
But Joey and Chandler could afford to live across the hall from them which was never explained.
sigh
Chandler had a good job, working in data science, which was still mysterious and paid well in the 90s. And Joey likely got unemployment between acting jobs.
Chandler had a good job, working in data science
I thought it was data entry? Which might still have been well paid in the 90s, not sure.
statistical analysis and data reconfiguration. Sounds like data science to me. I could be wrong.
Fair point
If they lived across the hall then why is breakfast together implausible? 😭 What is happening??
Cause most people couldn’t be arsed to do that, I suppose?
Because most people are barely getting dressed and out the door in time.
Hey - I don’t like the tone I used to read that comment young man. Fuck them landlords.
Fuck it. I’m getting radicalized. It should only be legal to own one property at a time!
Admirable hustle
I’d argue there’s not a single relatable thing in any of these sitcoms and the moment they stopped pretending to be and were about us watching the misery of four of five rich yuppies suffer, sitcoms had a resurgence.
Seinfeld went this way after Larry David departed, but Arrested Development was the first.
Idk about resurgence, there’s still a lot of traditional sitcoms on TV. They all get like 7-8 seasons, they’re all the same kinda trash. I think the difference is just that we now occasionally get good ones.
I had this realization recently. I don’t watch much tv anyways, but whenever someone recommend a show to me it’s just rich people doing rich people things.
I guess it’s a nice dream to have? I just can’t unsee it now.
Bob’s burgers is a decent alternative, struggling restaurant and kids playing with garbage most the time.
You should watch Shameless
I never have breakfast. The Kelloggs company lied when they said it’s the most important meal of the day.
They are not wrong though. Just not with their shit.
They are wrong though. No meal is more important than any other. It’s different for everyone and pretending breakfast is the most important for all and sundry is just a marketing ploy with no basis is truth.
in fact, any kind of meal structure is ‘unnatural’, most indigenous cultures had a ‘eat whenever youre hungry’ type deal.
Look, I get your point, scheduled meals have been standardized by society as a means of production. You can go to work without having breakfast or even dinner and that’s fine. However, when it comes to me, I prefer a big-ass breakfast to fuel my day rather than a big-ass dinner that leaves me a miserable sleep.
We used to do this during Uni while living in the dorm, because we were penniless more frequently than not and had figured out that we could pool our leftovers together for a feast. And not just for breakfast, we’d also pool together for lunch and dinner - I still have a soft spot for spaghetti with no sauce and hot dogs. It was a tight-knit group and we usually had a lot of mornings together, as this was our main drinking group as well. We’d just crash wherever we landed first and that was that.
Coffee was usually the main issue, though, but thank fuck for those single-cup solubles!
You guys have breakfast?
I’ll rather get my full 4 hours of sleep instead.
4 full hours of sleep and you only skip one meal?! Look at this guy living the life over there.
You guys are sleeping every day?
Eh, it does happen from time to time tbh
It’s really hard to shoot six people eating in their cars during their commute to work.
Eating cereal on their way to work like god intended.
It’s totally possible, as long as everyone get up super fucking early.
The biggest lie tv told me was how much quicksand would feature in my life.
And the lie of someone getting knocked on the head and passing out for an hour. If you’re unconscious for that long after a head injury, then you’re not going to wake up again.
This is such a dangerous lie.
While it’s never happened in my presence, I can envision someone seeing some else get knocked out and going “Ah, they’ll wake up in an hour or so.” And not phoning an ambulance.
And the whole trope where one good guy knocks out another good guy to prevent themselves in harm’s way. Like, my brother in Christ, you probably just killed them.
Yeah all those guys are dead in real life, and not because they got hit by a really hard punch…
That, and the Bermuda triangle.
I can’t believe we’re ignoring the danger posed by the Bermuda Triangle
In fairness it’s in Bermuda. That’s quite far.
I think it was mainly methane https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_clathrate
Woow what a great article!
