Go get the leaf, grandma and your uncles are coming.

Nonono, it’s fine, see we’ve bought these half-inch thick cushions with quilt effect that have these little string on them that tie onto the backrest, so stop complaining and eat the Grey Meat and with Beige Vegetables your Grandma spent all day making somehow.
Too real.
The soviet equivalent, AKA the Fingercrusher. Fuck that thing
The “absolutely nobody” meme was originally supposed to highlight somebody making an argument for something that obviously nobody had ever felt the need to argue against.
It was usually a very obscure argument about something that nobody else had ever thought about, or the visual version where someone created something that didn’t need to be created, or it could be an argument about something that is so obviously true that it is obvious that nobody would ever try arguing against it… And that’s it. It doesn’t really have any use outside of those two narrow areas.
It barely made sense as a meme in the first place and of course, it was immediately misused by the vast majority of people who used it and just mindlessly tacked it onto anything because it was the popular meme at the time. I was so happy when people stopped using it.
It has a use which is engagement baiting people into commenting about exactly this, or posting a “fixed” edit.
It’s completely useless AND nonsensical. If nobody said nothing, then everybody said something.
You’re technically right, which as we all know, is the best kind of right.
I do think that most people’s brains gloss right over the logical contradiction and act as if it said that nobody said “anything” rather than “nothing.”
But that is not what the meme actually says. Now that you’ve pointed it out, it’s obviously wrong.
It always makes me think of black folks telling funny stories, like:
“Everybody was minding their business, ain’t nobody said shit. This fool walks in with a whole ass baked potato in his mouth like it’s normal…”
So I enjoy the memes from that angle, even if they’re not coming from the original intent.
That said, even that angle doesn’t make this one work.
Lol, you can still buy this dining set brand new. Multiple companies made pedestal dining sets (like broyhill and thomasville) that were decent quality:price, which is probably why they were so common.
I present you the German equivalent, the coffee table named Fliesentisch
As a swamp German: that translates to ‘tile(ed) table’.
I present you the Indian equivalent and idk wherever it’s called
As a non-German who has never seen one of those, that actually looks quite nice, I’d gladly put that in my house :p
That table is the best table you’ll ever get. Will last for a very long time so long as it wasn’t made after maybe the 80s or 90s. So long as you ain’t doing anything rough on it, it will last a lifetime.
Though, growing up, we had nicer wood back chairs. I never had problems with them. Worst problem I had was always being the one who had to take a seat that was up against a wall, so I had to slide in and didn’t have a lot of room to adjust where my chair was, besides maybe moving a little to the right.
Quality table and chairs are timeless
Not only did we have this table, my parents donated it to our first college apartment, and then I dragged that stupid thing around for ten years until my father was like “oh you still have this thing.”
Yeah I thought it was like some heirloom, but apparently it was actually something they bought from a yard sale when they first got married and kind of hated for 18 years.
I have this table now.
My ex and I had this table set in our first place. Except it had 2 chairs and a bench, which had 2 of those chair backs on it. I hated that fucking thing.
My family got this set off craigslist to replace an objectively better dining table set that just needed to be refinished. Tried using cushions with them, but they were still a bit uncomfortable.
Saying that, the OP set would unfortunately be quite the upgrade compared to all the MDF and engineered wood that’s so common nowadays :(
Real wood anything is fucking expensive now
absolutely nobody had this table?
Edit: ITT: reading comprehension
Midwest United States, my family absolutely had this table when I was a kid.
Midwest US here too and my family also had this table when I was a kid. This comment section feels like a bunch of midwesterners realizing the midwest US isn’t the entire world lol
West Coast had this table. On both sides of the family…
East coast…had this table
I can think of four separate friends in the US that had or have this table - I’d never realized it before this post but yeah super common. Maybe it’s a regional thing? Though I saw it growing up in the mid-east too so IDK. Global furniture distribution: how does it work? Seriously, an industry I have no ideas about…
I had this table, my friend had this table, and my cousin had this table
must be hard having to grow up all under one roof like that
I grew up with these chairs:

i only ever saw the high-chair version of that one.
That exact table is in my dining room right now.
not cool until you sit at this table eating your cornflakes with added nicotine.
the chairs were really comfy, but held onto any grease from the kitchen.
oh i remember those chairs. yeah, metal and cushioned. loved them but if vinyl gets a tear, there goes your denim.
omg yes!
omg I had that table
I’m fairly certain this is a stock photo of my actual dining set.
