Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

But seriously, how fucking hard is it to buy a hamper, set aside a "cleaning day" that at best takes an hour and a half (depending on where you live), and trash/donate half of that shit to a Goodwill?

Extremely difficult bordering on impossible when the vast majority of what is scattered around is cheap plastic stuff/fast fashion trash. When nothing has real value and won’t last more than a few uses, deciding what to to keep is a gruelling task. Which is one of the many reasons these people just wait until the situation gets critical and the throw everything out but in a trendy way aka decluttering.
 
And the phones that Jook has...she probably doesn't even use them really outside of showing them off. I mean, for fucks sake, they have all these charms and dangling shit, it would be hell to have those in a pocket or purse and not get them caught on something.
Also, wouldn't all the charms make it impossible to charge on a wireless charger? You'd have to take the case off every time.

Or pay a cleaning person. I know I say this all the time but honestly, guys, it's worth it. It doesn't have to be that expensive or that often, but if you're really that incapable of keeping your place clean just shell out the cash and have someone else do it.
There's so much stigma against it because people don't want to be seen as too lazy to clean their own place, but honestly it's really ok.
If anyone wants to see the depressing outcome of self-realization from hoarders/consoomers there's of course a reddit community r/hoarding and the even more depressing r/childofhoarder full of venting from those currently stuck living with hoarders or dealing with the lingering trauma.
The children of hoarders and people with related issues have my deep sympathies. One the one hand they have to deal with their parent, but when they take steps to cut themselves off and make their own lives, they fear the judgement of others for "abandoning" their parents. It's awful.

The short version is that there is a lot of wasted power.

The wear and tear thing is very true. I've always thought it was a planned obsolescence thing. With enough charging, eventually the pins bend or break and then you have a phone that works fine but can't be charged so you "have" to get a new one.
 
Newfag is acting tough against their senpai, eh?
I'm not giving you any dumb-rating, because that's what plebbitors does, but this was very fucking stupid. It would be much better if you just posted the screenshots and left it at that. Instead of picking a fight with me.

If there is anything, it rather seems like YOU didn't read my comment. I don't see anything in my comment where I didn't describe the hog accurately. Yes, she isn't obese, but she is definitely chubby/fat.

Even though I have a faggy animu avatar, I won't let this slip by!

Sorry, I had to. I'm influenced by the Life is Strange-streams.
Ok, cool, back to the actual reason of thread

What is this, a crossover episode? r/childfree consoomers here to rescue!

I'd respect them for at least being concious of their choices and onwing up to it, the consoom brand parents are way worse and i also don't think is good these redditors reproduce but i feel what the smug posters here don't get is that people with no kids are the ones who should save their money for the future the most and not the other way around. They are not going to have grown sons and daughters taking care of them when they are old , sick and all alone with a pile of toys and an alcoholism problem.
These people are obviously in their late 20s and their 30s, fast forward and lets see how they feel when they are 50 or 60.

It's easy to be messy when you have 500 skincare things and 200 fast fashion shirts which probably end up on the floor because she tried them on and realized they look bad and threw them there.

Thread tax, found this stepford decorating hoarder who redoes the mcmansion decor seemingly every month:

everything looks like it will fall apart with a slight breeze, like a sitcom tv set made of plywood, now i see the true meaning of the term Mcmansion.

I don't think this has been brought up before, but there are a huge amount of Lego consoomers out there. Maybe it's because I subscribe to a bunch of Lego-related channels on YouTube out of nostalgia, but it seems that more and more of the sets these days are targeted at adult fans who are willing to spend thousands of dollars a year in order to ensure they have every one:
Sets like the replica NES (230 USD) and Stratocaster (100 USD are a bonus for Lego, because they attract consoomers from other fields:

Something being lego does not instantly make it a consoomer thing. These are all within Lego's whole "high end display piece models" thing and are nowhere near as ridiculously priced as the fucking 800 dollar millennium falcon. This genre of sets has been around for ages but there's definitely a lot more nowadays than there used to be around a decade ago or so. They still existed back then but it was shit like train models and space skulls and other weird fucking very lego-ish things. Closest match to that I can think of these new high end lego sets are is the "Haunted house" set that's very deceptively named. It's a set of Baron Von Baron's house he's apperently converted into a tower of terror-esque ride for some reason. They don't include a figure of him but there's a giant fucking portrait of him and his name is on the fucking front of the building. it's not called "haunted house" on the door it's called "manor von baron". Shits just filled with adventurers references too things like 300 dollars I'd grab the shit out of that if I had the money for it and jam my old ass adventurers lego guys in there cause Lego for some reason decided toskimp out and only include generic rider and employee minifigs. There's a skeleton chained up in the attic that's an implied corpse of Sam Sinister, which is referencing how weirdly like some point mid-series the names for baron von baron and sam sinister swapped around somehow and the other just kinda vanished.

I do not like this thing you have found.
I also found #maximalism and #moreismore because of it, and I don't like this either:

I'm of the opinion it'll probably waste less energy over all anyways, because a lot of cables are shitty and will break over time from constant use, but if you only need to sit a device down on a platter nothing is being bent the wrong way. Not having to buy the cable means less material wasted, and less manufacturing. But regardless it's better for your battery than fast charging through a cable.
 
At least I can cringe at 14 year old me only wearing an Evangelion t-shirt once or twice, meanwhile these kids are gonna grow up haunted by the memories of going to school in full ahegao ensemble.
i almost bought a naruto head-band when i was in middle school. glad i was poor and didint know how to use E-bay at the time.

The main drawback of wireless charging is that you can’t use your phone while charging it.

Yeah, in my experience Lego consoomers tend to be a subset of Star Wars consoomers (no surprise there) rather than gravitating towards these “adult” Lego sets. These expensive display-piece sets aren’t really designed to satisfy the consoomer completionist mindset either, because outside of a few lines (Technic vehicles, classic cars, modular buildings, architecture, probably a couple more I’m missing) they don’t really have any theme or pattern and are more often than not just a one-off. There’s no exclusivity, no artificial scarcity, no FOMO because Lego sets are always in circulation for at least 2-3 years before getting retired.

Someone gave me a pop socket for my phone and I took that off after 5 minutes because it was annoying as hell. I can't imagine having your phone covered in charms. Jooks it special though. From her garbage diet to just how much plastic shit she owns.


I don't even think she uses half her stuff. Which makes it even more wasteful. Like, there's decorations and then there's buying every Sanrio lip gloss, waving them in front of a camera, and then shoving them in a plastic drawer. Where you wonder if they'll ever be seen again.

The custom keycaps always make me laugh though. You're telling me these kawaii bitches play on their computers enough to memorize the keyboard? Press X to doubt.

Most seem addicted to their phones and just like changing keyboard caps to be cute.

As someone who lives near a large tourist-laden city, we have a huge open air mall where tourists flock to and it has a LEGO store somewhere that's usually well crowded, even today.

They sell the usual branded items and toys for kids (and manchildren), among a variety of keychains, shirts, other memorabilia. But there's also a lot of LEGO sets that are basically just one-off models of various things that I can't really see a consoomer would hoard besides it being just LEGO.

They aren't really based on any brand or franchise and seem to be just something for higher end customers to be like "oh that would look cool in my house" or something. Kinda like buying a souvenir to hang in your house.

These tend to be architectural pieces, like a LEGO small scale replica set of the Eiffel Tower, Sydney Opera House, the Egyptian Pyramids, etc. Oh and LEGO replica sets of local sights and wonders.

I don't know how consoomer those are but I guess they have some merit if I'm an Aussie tourist visiting and I see a LEGO replica set of like a famous building I know, or like want to take home a replica of this mountain I saw on my vacation.

I still do buy Lego. It might be something from a movie or series that I like, but it is one big set, usually one to two years.
I notice that resell of older sets, especially those from themes (brands outside of Lego), are crazy. Those high-end sets nearly go double within a year or two.

lego scalpers are a special nightmare hell world kinda deal and have been since before the pandemic. Thing that seperates them from normal scalpers is they'll either go for specific sets the whole time they're in production and after or they'll wait till like the year it goes out of circulation and ramp up their prices to 500 or 1000 or some absurd shit like that. it's been like this for as long as I can fucking remember and it's partly why I never did get those bionicle crabs when I was a kid. G2 bionicle on the other hand was scalped throughout it's entire run.
