I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)
Sitewide rules apply
other rules
Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

I like being able to get the edges and corners and go under furniture with the central vac head. I think we only had it serviced a few times in 20 years and it only recently died from a lightning strike and it was $100 to replace the main board.

My mom has that same one at her house. It works pretty decently.
I came across a Hoover GUV for $75, which is similar but meant for garages (so the hose connects to the front rather than being hardpiped). Couldn't pass it up.

Interesting. That actually sounds really useful compared to dealing with a large shop vac.

Shopvac still has better overall suction and wet capability, but the Guv is tits when I just want to quickly vacuum off my work area or inside a car.

I own a house made of concrete in Mexico, it's nice but it's a fricking pain in the peepee if you need to move wiring or God forbid, remodel the bunker you live in.
Sheet rock is fine, you can insulate it and there's no reason you need it to be 2ft thick reinforced concrete.

How the frick is it more convenient than a regular vacuum
Jump in the discussion.

You don't have to haul around a heavier vacuum and it stores a lot more in its container. Mine is also substantially stronger unless I pay $1k+ for a dyson vacuum. I also think its easier on my hardwood floors since there aren't any wheels sliding around it.

Dirt could be here, he thought...something something with a vacuum, you can go anywhere.
(My parent's first house in Chicago had this thing and though I was very young, I remember it being a constant pain in the butt. I'm not shocked, however, that many people never heard of these before; I don't think they were that widespread back in the day. It'd be funnier to ask people if they know what a septic tank is.)

I actually use just a mop thingy (wood floors/tile). I have clear tape for the rugs 😂 our maid in Japan taught me that trick.
When we had a central vac my mom rarely used it, they are kind of cumbersome. But I thought it was funny people hadn't even heard of them. I'm not really that big of a snob I promise.

You take like packing tape and you wrap it around your hand and you tap your hand against the rug and it picks up the dirt and hair. I had gone over to my maid's house once for some reason. She had a teeny tiny apartment in Tokyo. That's how they cleaned their floor (no room for a vacuum).
