Coffee machines. Three roommates, each one brought theirs.

Hand lotion, lip balm.

I buy my hair gel in liters when the price goes low enough, not when I need it, so have two or three liters sometimes.

Two dogs and two cats because people left them with us. I’d be good with one cat.

Vacuum Cleaners

We have four.

One lives in my backyard shed, for cleanups and dust collection.

One lives in my garage, for cleaning the cars.

Our house is split level, so we have one for upstairs and another one for downstairs. All to save carrying it up and down the six steps that divide the front and back of the house. These two are the same make and model.

Earbuds. They’re absolutely essential and have the durability of wet toilet paper

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.

Clerks the animated series dvd sets

Knives and pocket tools, basses (electric/upright/electric upright), 10 mm sockets

Game consoles.

I enjoy collecting and modding them more than actually playing lol. Generally I suck at games.

Now I do play them. But I spend a lot more time figuring out better ways to use them and getting the best quality out of them possible, or trying to use og hardware but playing any game (like ps2 over ethernet)

Classic cars. Triples is best.

One broom for each room.

Back in the vinyl phase a few years ago, I bought both a regular cover and an alternate cover of an album.

It was so cool for about 3 seconds, when I realised the record/music were the same. Realised I paid double JUST for a different picture.

Last record I ever bought

I have 3 copies of “London Calling”. Original vinyl, CD, and the 25th Anniversary box set.

Screwdrivers.

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.

Computers. I could do everything I need to do on my threadripper workstation, but it’s not as portable as my gaming rig. I move around a lot for work and wasn’t thrilled with my steam decks performance plugged into a TV for some games. Then there is my limited home lab stuff that I could host on the workstation for a minimal hit to power consumption, but why do that when I have tons of older hardware I could piece together to do it. Then there are my multiple Atari STs that I’ve collected. One of them is my first computer which I’ve managed to keep for almost forty years. I also have a few classic macs and dozens of video games, all of which I could functionally duplicate with emulation. I like old hardware, and now it’s not polluting the environment in a landfill.
