      My housing is NOT a treat.

      Edit: A user, I won't say who, just DMed me saying I was a treat. Thank you.
      Edit2: Nevermind. They said they wanted to show me a treat too and it was PPB.

    What the fuck is a treat anyways, is it some kind of dogwhistle about how people should only live on basic necessities?

      In theory it's supposed to just distinguish between necessities and non-necessities and trivialize non-necessities, but without condemning them. Treats are good. Everybody likes having treats. But they are just treats and we could live without them if we had to. But that nuance is often lost in favor of "treats bad."

      Treats are luxury consumer goods/services. It's a silly, trivializing term in order to counter the elevated status that people ascribe to luxuries, and usually gets combined into phrases like "treat brain" (obsession with consuming luxuries) or "treat lad" (someone whose identity is wrapped up in consuming luxuries). People need to be reminded that luxuries are above and beyond what is actually needed and aren't worth the cost of ruin and human misery that entirely too many of them have.
