Can you recognize the style period and carpenter of this desk? If not, you are scum.
After years of searching for the most elitist and hipster hobby/lifestyle, I've found it: antiquing.
What separates you plebeians from elite citizens comes down to the possession and knowledge of valuables, mainly art and antiques. When you win the lottery, you'll buy a sports car and a huge house, just like any of you plebs would do.
People who have always been millionaires spend their money on rare and historically significant artifacts: antiques and art.
Becoming a connoisseur of antiques takes years and years of dedication and good taste. The only requirement for wanting a Ferrari is a small dick. If you think antiques are simply "outdated, ugly and insignifcant junk", I have bad news for you.
In the social circles of the wealthy, antiques are a status symbol.
I, myself, don't even consider antique haters humans. They are of a lower race.
I carry in my pocket a silver cigarette case made by Paul Sormani. He's a French ebeniste you've probably never heard of. And yes, I say this every time I go for a smoke and someone notices my cigarette case.
You make a valid argument.
But this pleb will take the fast car.
Actually hobby tiers
Top: Creation based
Mid: Consumption based
Shit: Collection based
ITT art that 4chan plebs are not capable of appreciating.
This "4 seasons" set of porcelain and ormolu figures is worth over 10k.
>>24377503
>Top: Creation based
Meaning you write post-apocalyptic fanfiction of your favorite animu characters.
Which is absolutely free and the most popular hobby to every unemployed hippie who wears a tinfoil hat and smokes cannabis.
What a big surprise you feel this way.
nice "possensions" you fucking pleb.

>thinking elitist is good.
Id rather not be a dick about what i like and find other people to enjoy it with, tbqfh lad.
>>24377458
The fuck you need a door knocker on a desk senpai you got mice living in there or some shit baka
>>24377556
Why is your desk made of fake wood, are you poor or just stupid?
If you watch American Pickers, you will realize that antiquing is the most blue collar hobby known to man.
That being said, I don't want filthy hipster fucking up my interests.
>>24377553
>thinking elitism isn't good
Elitism drives improvement, autism also helps. Compare public tv trackers to public anime trackers and note the huge difference in quality.
actually i collect contemporary glass art
functional/non-functional, milliefiorie, marbles, and paperweights etc.
git gud op
>>24377503
What if I collect the things I consume and use them as inspiration to create?
>>24377553
No, he's right. He's definitely a better person than you, and most others. Me as well. Antiquing is my new thing, right this moment.
>>24377674
>American Pickers
You think the cheap shit they pick has anything to do with real antiques?
OP this is the greatest shitpost I have ever laid eyes upon and I applaud you
>>24377458
Just bought a vintage patek.
Bravo op
Git to my level.
>furniture elitism on 4chan
I've seen it all now

Why is a person in England writing the date correctly?
>>24377931
Because I'm so cultured I took that into account.
>liking something because of how rare it is instead of how much pleasure it gives you
hope you guys don't do this
Philosophy as a hobby is the most self absorbed, smug hobby there is.
>>24378010
>he doesn't want to better understand the human experience
>>24378010
Yeah but it's free of charge and you can do it anywhere, anytime so it's not exclusive.
>>24378056
That's why I said "as a hobby."
There's a difference between the physicist who is forced to face philosophical questions in his work and the smug hipster living in with 3 room mates in San Fransisco.
>>24378096
It's very exclusive. If most people have trouble doing high school math then they aren't going to be cut out for studying philosophy.

How much for the vintage Matrix phone
>>24378116
>vintage Matrix phone
being an elitist is top tier
I despise clowns like
>>24377553
who think life is an easy ride and everyone should be happy and get along all the time. you are beneath me
>>24377458
But does being elitist make you better than a pleb even if you are a big faggot about it?
>In the social circles of the wealthy, antiques are a status symbol.
Seriously, where's the difference to people who buy expensive cars as a status symbol?
If you buy something as a status symbol you are a faggot either way.
>>24378234
xD y r u so up tight chill bro ; ) you gotta be relaxed all the time just take it easy smoke some weed drink a little live life ;))
>>24378275
mad tasteless pleb detected
>>24378010
Fucking this. People who study philosophy and take it so incredibly seriously are insufferable. I once knew this guy who practically worshiped Nietzsche. Discussing anything with him was a pain in the ass because he'd always bring it back to philosophy.
>>24377503
anger
>>24378347
>not taking philosophy seriously
It is the science of reason, after all.
>>24378347
That's because he's an existentialist, not because he reads philosophy (which he probably doesn't)
Next time you see him, stare at him like this and pretend you're my main man Schoppy
>>24378353
oh shit do you have a barrel dragon card, nigga? i still have a relinquished 1st ed.
I collect firearms. I like to get unique and highquality pieces. It's fun to show someone a weapon that they may have only seen in film or it has a unique operation that they've never thought of before.
>>24378319
>not answering the question
>shitty picture with the left arm being barely visible
fuk u
I collect cacti. They require minimal care but their upkeep is extremely relaxing and fulfilling. I consider it a hell of a lot more satisfying than having a bunch of furniture lying around.
>>24378697
What's that thing in the top right that looks like a rubber penis?
i collect movie stuff... is that ok?
>>24378759
i gots some posters too
>>24378773

kkk
>>24378697
You can get high of bottom left if its 10+ years old.
>>24378747
It's a little ceramic worm. When I water the cacti, it darkens as it soaks up moisture. When it's dry and a lighter color, I know that they need to be watered soon.

Pretty pleb taste senpai

simpl ebin
>>24378887
uh what? desu
>>24377503
this. just because you call it something nice and spend tons of money on it doesn't make you any better. in fact it kinda makes you a step short of being a hoarder.
>>24378908
im saying the picture is faggy as fuck
>>24377458
>Becoming a connoisseur of antiques takes years and years of dedication and good taste. The only requirement for wanting a Ferrari is a small dick.
Looks like you have a few more years to go otherwise you'd know one of the most coveted antiques in the world is a 1962 250 GTO.
>>24378887
>>24378939
You are just retarded desu.
>>24378939
Romanticism in general was pretty faggy but that's kind of what i like about it
This is gay as kill kill yourself
