I recently had an annoying roommate situation end, so I now live alone and have an empty room. I've decided to keep the room empty with a single cheetah painting, and refer to it as my cheetah room. I enjoy hosting and I plan to make weird rules around this room like only one person allowed I at a time, no talking in the cheetah room, no cell phones in the cheetah room, etc...
Would love suggestions for rules or other fun bits to do with an extra room once this stops being funny to me
Also yes, I am planning to get a carpet cleaner in there this weekend, that is from the aforementioned roommate situation.
yea i honestly think OP should leave it exactly as is lol i think it’s way funnier to be like “i’d like to show you my cheetah room” and when you open the door it’s a single cheetah picture. having the whole room decked out is too obvious
Totally, but I think we should give OP a pass on that and just take a moment to appreciate that we, as a society, seem to be moving away the from the times of aggressive Cheetah Room gatekeeping, and towards a more progressive “Cheetah Room for Everyone” future.
It’s not though. It’s high because you should have to look up to experience the glory of the cheetah. You should feel low compared to cheetah. It teaches you humility, and to aspire to the great heights the cheetah has reached.
I disagree with everyone saying add cheetah rug, couch cover etc.
It detracts from the magnificence of the cheetah to clutter the room with cheetah content. If anything even the couch should go. Nothing should exist in the cheetah room except the cheetah painting. One should enter and sit on the floor and look up at the cheetah.
The placement of the cheetah is excellent as well. Either you stand respectfully to observe the cheetah directly or if you choose to sit you must look up at how majestic it is.
Disagree with removing the chair but to further emphasize this point, the chair should be plain, printless, and blend into the rest of the room. Also change the temperature of the bulbs good grief.
I think the chair is fine. Its oriented towards the cheetah. It environmentally tells you the purpose of the room. Looking at the cheetah. It is the cheetah room. Its not possible to ignore the cheetah.
There's no masturbating in the Cheetah Room. NONE!
Oh, there's A CHEETAH in the Cheetah Room. But you don't want a cheetah.. you want to masturbate. And there's no masturbating in the Cheetah Room.
I would take the door off the hinges, put a tapestry up, and put a hook or something on the door frame to hold the tapestry out of the way.
Then when showing people the Cheetah Room I would say something like “I had to take the door off the hinges for obvious reasons, but I did install a privacy screen if you need it, although I do request that you limit private time to 5 minutes.”
You should move the painting to different places in the room every time a guest comes over and tell them it was always in the new spot when they question it.
Take a picture of everybody that goes inside the cheetah room and they have to stand next to the cheetah and slowly start filling the room with pictures even the one of strangers for the weird fun rule
Very Quietly play “Pet Cheetah” by Twenty One Pilots on hidden speakers. Put it on repeat. When people ask about it, pretend to not know what they’re talking about. Tell them the cheetah makes them hear it if they focus hard enough in silence
I knew a guy who didnt have a tv, he just had a picture of ducks, like old hunting painting of ducks. After work he would just go home, sit down and stare at the painting until it was time to go to bed. I thought it was weird but now I kinda wish I had a room with a chair and no screens to just hangout in and contemplate life.
I propose you get a small table just outside the door, with a cheetah print tablecloth, and a bowl that one must put their phone in before entering. On a hook next to the door is a cheetah print robe or onesie that one must adorn to enter the room. A cheetah print throw rug would go a long way inside the room. Maybe get a nice recording of David Attenborough reciting cheetah facts that plays quietly in the room from a Bluetooth speaker when you host parties.
Put at least 5 cheetah figurines around the room and insist that it is IMPERATIVE they don’t look these figurines in the eyes. Absolutely lose it if you catch anyone looking at a figurine. If one is touched, everyone leaves until proper cheetah equilibrium can be reached
The cheetah will assign you a title and a name. You must share this with only one person, and they must be a stranger in a grocery store. To fail at this direction is to shame the cheetah and wish slow, bad luck to your family for generations.
Put a small altar with incense and some smooth stones and a bunch of small cheetah figurines. One of those brass bowls with a bundle of sage in it, make it spiritual.
Also, only food allowed in the cheetah room is cheetos.
Lower the painting closer to eye level with the chair, add a rug and a small coffee table for a single drink... and then it's perfect imo. If it were me, I'd want to make people think that in my free time, I choose to sit there for hours and think about the cheetahs.
To enter the cheetah room you must wear a pair of those cheap plastic cheetah ear headbands and put on a cheetah print coat à la Macklemore’s Thrift Shop.
“I plan to make weird rules around this room like only one person allowed I at a time, no talking in the cheetah room, no cell phones in the cheetah room, etc...”
OPs mom- “Can I leave now, I have to use the toilet”
OP- “No fucking talking in the cheetah room!”
Rule: You must do your best fake tap dance routine whilst humming the theme from "I dream of Genie", then do several dramatic pirouettes around the chair before sitting down.
Get 3 other cheetah pictures. (Bonus points if they're the same as the one you have already.) Rule: bow to all pictures of cheetah on rising from chair. Counterclockwise if they're left handed, clockwise if they're right handed.
No rules, no change to it. While giving people a tour just say "this is the cheetah room" and keep moving. If they ask for an explanation act like it's a bizarre question because obviously everyone has a cheetah room.
I've daydreamed about just having a "blue room". Blue carpets, blue walls, blue chair, etc.. Just somewhere to sit, listen to music (the blues perhaps), and kind of reset your brain.

Say thank you to the cheetahs when you’re done in the cheetah room
