Only IKEA and Pottery Barn photographers I think.
I have near crippling ADHD and prior to moving in with my spouse, my kitchen looked like this, as well as my towels, sheets, cleaners, and spice rack. Having everything ordered took away the mental load, 8 identical towels is one load a week on Sunday plus a spare if something interrupts the schedule. I never had to consider a sensory issue because they're all the exact same towel. Same for dishes, all my cups held the same amount and felt the same in hand. All my plates and bowls were identical so I couldn't have a preferred one. All of them were dishwashers safe and dishwasher design friendly so I never needed to consider if they needed special treatment.
Taking away that thing to think about made a huge difference in clarity of mind because I could then use that energy for other things.
I always find it odd that people use a new towel every day but don't change their bed sheets every day.

I don't have ADHD (I know enough people who do that I can say that quite confidently) and I still find this extremely helpful. Decision fatigue is real, and eliminating trivial decisions is great.

Hi 👋
In no uncertain terms: how dangerous are you?
I have extensive knowledge of state forests
Is that a special case of state spaces?

When I first met my wife her cutlery drawer was so organised that the cutting edge of all the knives faced the same direction and the forks were all lined up on top of each other.
I nearly ran.

This just looks like my shelves. One side has the store bought glasses; the other has all the novelty/gas station refillable cups.
4th type .. cupboard empty. Everything on the counters! ADHD ftw!!!
Everything on the counters dirty
Me: Guess I have to wash a glass if I want to get a drink.
My kids: Guess we're drinking out of flower vases this week!
Ah, my old roommate is in the chat

Por que no los dos?
Yeah honestly. My kitchen looks exactly like this. I have all the same glasses and my cups are a wild mess, together with a bunch of random glasses i collected over the years

Normal human and hotel
I want to be the one on the right, but my wife and kids say I have to be the one on the left.
Came here to say this. It’s homey though.

Unless you're 8 feet tall most cupboards are like this, no?
You forgot the cup hooks underneath, and the large drinking steins/tankards/catfood on top
Other way around. The nice sets on top, the regularly used collection of oddities below.
I am a right cabinet person forced to have a left cabinet because I am too poor to throw away perfectly good mugs and usable glasses just to have a matching set.

I'm both and I think most people are both, having several of some and also random ones.

Third type: No cupboard
my glasses match but my mugs don't
I was not made to have matching sets of anything.
Am I the only person who puts glasses in the cabinet upside down?
Also: left side, but flipped.
I enjoy my water with extra dust
I put them in an alternating pattern, they take less space that way
We do both. We have organized dishes in one cupboard, and an absolute cluster-fuck in the one where we keep all the kids' dishes and water bottles. In 30 years it will be that cupboard that our grand-kids pull an old plastic Barbie cup out of and have to give a quick smell test before pouring their drink into. You know the one.
Why not both, exactly like in the picture?
The right side is when you first get a place and start with nothing, the left side is after living there for years.
The severity of each level is different
I think matching wine glasses is relatively uncontroversial, but also understandable if kinda mismatched. A contingent of matching tumblers is also fine but you need the random pint glasses too at the very least. I maintain a fully matching set of mugs is a red flag

My german mug, with all the Länder states on there. A polish mug. A mug-mug. A coffee mug. The Oktoberfest beer stein. The boring mug. The cat and owl mug. The cat mug. The pukka mug. The homer simpson mug. ...
Left bottom shelve here too. How do right shelvers even do anything while keeping the whole thing neat???

I'm a left. I need these things, store them in a cabinet behind an opaque door. Function over form, but always keep things clean & new, and periodically re-evaluate my belongings, to prevent clutter buildup & hoarding, sort things into four categories: trash-donate-recycle-keep.
Person with only 12 cups vs person with 32 cups?
What if you have one of each?
I think the comic is creating a false dichotomy (as comics often do) because in reality people will often be a little bit of both.
I've got assorted mugs and glasses acquired over decades, and my favourites are among them.
I've also got some matching wine glasses and matching tea cups, because sometimes it's just nice when everyone is equal and gets the same.

I suspect that to some level this reflects how varied one's path through life has been.
Certainly my own varied collection of mugs and cups is mainly the product of having lived in many different places and having picked new mugs up along the way. Also I'll keep old mugs around even after they're chipped because they're associated with my memories of places I lived in before.
That said, maybe a varied life and a hodge-podge collection of mugs are correlated and have a common cause, rather than having a causal relation - it makes sense that the kind of people comfortable with moving to places were they don't know anybody (and even with different cultures, if they change countries) would also be comfortable with a less than perfect collection of cups and mugs.
I am the left, but I strongly desire to be the one on the right , I just can't bear to part with all my random cups and glassware that have special significance or sentimentality.
I'm both.
