…and why?
Excluding the obvious such as clothes and utensils.
Phones. Got my current along with the last 3 I had. I haven’t disposed of them because I’m a little paranoid someone would reconstruct the contents of each phone if I just disposed of them.
Also, burned CDs/DVDs that are useless because they don’t work. I’m not good and throwing away discs, which is why I still keep them.
I thought about saying loose bread ties, but those are generally so useful for when one breaks or you just need one.
Scissors.
Don’t need to use them every day, but previously I could never find any of the three pairs I had. Then I realized that I have money and can go buy a dozen pairs of scissors.
Now it never takes me more than 30 seconds to find a pair of scissors. 10/10, would recommend this lifestyle.
Knives and pocket tools, basses (electric/upright/electric upright), 10 mm sockets
10 mm sockets
This is a lie. One will never suffice. That thing will disappear the second you look away.
I have four copies of Skyrim and haven’t even played it.
I have seven coffee makers (various sorts, sizes, and materials). I use 3 regularly.
More generally, anything that I use frequently, like tools, I have multiples of because I misplace things a lot. Having multiples means it’s more likely to find things when I need them, without having to hunt them down.
I have 3 copies of “London Calling”. Original vinyl, CD, and the 25th Anniversary box set.
Nail clippers. I kept losing nail clippers so I bought a pack of 10 and put two in each of the places I’d expect to be able to find them. I think I’m down to only having four now, so it might be time to buy another 10.
Other people have sock monsters, you seem to have a nail-clipper monster.
I know. No other logical explanation!
Forks.
Screwdrivers.
Guitars. I have a whole stable, including a couple of electrics (Strat and Les Paul), and a few acoustics (My favorite, a backup, another one with a nice tone that is also electric, and a nice travel/parlor guitar).
I also have a short scale electric bass, and an acoustic bass. Also a couple of nice ukuleles.
I’m still on the hunt for a small all-mahogany acoustic, a 12 string acoustic, and a good semi-hollow body that isn’t white, red, or black. I’m also always looking for a good deal on a new electric bass. Also a banjo and mandolin.
I’m not in a band, I don’t even play with others, I just like to record my own music, both originals and covers, that nobody ever hears but me. And I delusionally believe I need a shit-ton of guitars to do that.
Children
One is not enough. You need two so they can play with each other and leave you alone.
But more than that is insane.
Yeah if I had more than one other sibling, I would be too annoyed
Kidneys and thinkcentres.
Headphones. I have my commuting headphones, walking headphones, working headphones, video game headphones, music headphones… I also have two pairs of earphones.
I could get down to two pairs of headphones and one pair of earphones.
I have some bone conducting headphones for just about everything, a pair of ear buds for everything else. Generally I’m wearing ear protection with my headphones and what type I want determines which headphones I’m wearing.
I have multiple of the bone conducting ones. The main ones. The backup ones for when I forget them. The backup backup ones that was two generations ago and the microphone crapped out on that lives in my desk at work in case I forgot the backup ones.
Function button but same.
I have a few different wireless earbuds for different uses and devices, and like 5 sets of headphones because they all have different sounds/uses as well. I definitely understand this ridiculous!
Yup. I have way too many headphones because I wanted to hear the different sound signatures. 90% of the time I’m either listening to my AirPods Pro or Grado SR325s. The other 10% is Koss PortaPro. Why do I have so many headphones?
I don’t need four power drills, I want four power drills.
I like having two so I can switch between drilling pilot holes and driving screws.
So, the oldest cordless drill I have is this old Black & Decker 12v thing, my dad bought it in like, 2002. It has a quick detaching chuck, and under the chuck is a 1/4" hex collet. So you can load a phillips or torx driver bit in that, then mount the chuck over it and chuck in a drill bit, then you can drill your pilot holes, pop the chuck off and drive screws.
And other than that minor innovative feature it’s crap. The build quality on even consumer-grade power tools has increased a lot since I was in high school; I’ve got some of the new SB&D Craftsman tools that are a lot nicer to handle; that old B&D creaks and squeaks as it flexes in your hand, it’s not overmolded and the bare ABS slips around in your grip, the controls feel like you’re twisting lego bricks, the batteries are long out of production and it’s the only tool I have that takes that standard, and it’s a 20 year old brushed motor 12 volt tool; it’s the size of my 20v drills but less powerful than my little 12v mini Bosch drill.
Trauma. I seem to collect it without even trying or wanting it. Like it just happens without my approval or wanting it.
Penis ornaments. Why? Why the fuck not? Shout out to @CelloMike@lemmy.world for the amazing wooden starship model.
I need more
I have the perfect place for you to make a pilgrimage to. In Sicily near the coastal beach resort town of Taormina there is a town atop of the nearby mountain called Castelmola. The trek up the mountain is amazing and the views are incredible. Your reward for the journey is in that town there is a bar called Bar Turrisi, this is your new bucket list destination.
Alternatively, they could go to one of the “penis temples” in Japan. I know that there is more than one, because a Google search turned up this one, and I have been to another in southern Osaka Prefecture.
The one that I went to was actually devoted to fertility and appeasing The souls of aborted/miscarried babies, but it had its fair share of penises as well.
But there’s no penis on the wooden starship :(
I’ve too considered making a shelve for my penis shaped “ornaments.”
Shame to put something so aesthetically pleasing hidden away in a drawer - especially in my private bedroom where no outsider ever goes to.
