xkcd comic where a bald stickman (Person1, pressumably male) is walking up to the open door leading to a medium length haired stickman’s (Person2, pressumably female) apartment
(First panel)
Person1: “Hey, I was wondering if you had plans for-- Holy crap, what happened to your apartment?”
Person2: “I filled it with playpen balls!”
Person1: “I… What? Why?”
(Second panel, from the point of view of Person1)
Person2: “Because we’re grown-ups now, and it’s our turn to decide what that means.”
In the third panel Person2 is out of frame and Person1 is seen staring at the ball-apartment, then in the fouth panel he’s out of frame too, the balls are spilling out of the door and a pink heart is flying out of the room

I think this was too cute to not be posted here :3 Also did u know xkcd has a youtube channel?! :O
I imagine it would be quite fun for a while, but that the novelty would wear thin about the time you woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom for the first time.
Filling a basement den with them, though… lounging in a sea of balls while watching TV or something… I am not seeing the downside.
I mean you couldn’t snack while in then - too much risk of crumbs and it’d be difficult to clean with them all around so risk of bugs. I guess you could just vacuum blindly !
I’ll convince people there’s some sort of creature living under the balls as my roomba moves around under them.
Imagine the flora and fauna that would slowly grow in there
Just make it a sauna or something so you can cook them dead every now and again
He said in the blog that they’re kind of expensive and very hard to clean, so he had a rule of no food/drinks in the ball pit.
In my house it would be full of silverfish in no time. Bleh.
