This isn't obvious, so let me call it out explicitly:

• These compilations are showing a lot more "repeat" items these days. Especially compared to during the pandemic, there are far fewer products being featured, and they tend to be things we've seen before.
• The new products we do see are trending cheaper; less expensive and also more Chinese plasticrap from Temu.

Edited my post because technically, yeah. Even though the writing wasn't stellar, it does meet my own criteria. It made me feel something other than "amused" from the animation alone. It was beautiful.

the folding linen box things are just retarded lmao
the storage mirror is pretty rad tho, I'd store tools and art supplies inside since I own exactly 2 necklace

Want to know a cheap way to keep your sheets organised? Fold each set neatly and slip it into its matching pillowcase. If you need to keep everything in one place, get a tub or one of those folding plastic storage bags that are meant for winter linen and blankets. Those folding sheet boxes are ridiculously excessive.

They're the sort of thing that appeals to the OCD types; perfectly square and uniform, with labels even. I've met people who would absolutely use them. Lived with a couple, even. The absolute control they had to have over their environment made me want to pull my hair out. Who cares if the kitchen towel is half a centimetre out of alignment, jfs.

I dunno about the mirror. I like the idea of hidden storage for jewellery, but the lock makes it clear that something is in there.

I do need to look further into these powered cleaning wands. The parents are getting on and are having trouble with their hands and wrists, and bending down and such. The wands might be a good option for them.

There's also those vacuum bags where you can make winter blankets and sweaters and whatever bulky cloth into pancakes, which saves way more storage space. I've got a few around that have lasted me about 15 years now. Is way more space efficient. But I guess if you want to stare at your sheets and blankets in a closet like a library maybe that isn't for you.

Yeah the lock makes it obvious, I just like the general storage idea rather than the safekeeping aspect. If I really don't want someone to steal something I'll use an actual safe bolted to something. I guess it would keep kids out though.

I don’t yet and I’ll keep my phone as long as I can, but eventually once my phone gets old enough it’ll stop getting software support upgrades.

Plus the battery will eventually die.

Then just replace the battery. Unless you got some IPhone 7 or higher, then it should be easy enough. At least them you can keep the spare or hawk it on some relative.

No reports if he used any camping equipment featured in Yurucamp. And I'm not sure if it's better or worse than when Yurucamp fans trashed one of the campgrounds that appeared in the show.

And since I mentioned Bocchi the Rock earlier, there is a warning on the official site in three languages basically telling fans of the show to stay the fuck out of the neighborhood where the show is set.

Troydan is back with fast food consoomer challenge videos; this time by dressing up as a worker from KFC.

Spoiler

He vomited most of it, and it was so much, that he joking subtitled his hurling with “Elon!” more than multiple times in the video.

I think this superfluous "home organizer" type crap is for people who are already too lazy to keep using it after the first or second time, and/or hoarders, and ultimately useless, because cleaning a hoard with storage knickknacks is like trying to bail out the Titanic with a bucket. If you have more shit than you can handle, even more shit is not the answer.

The few times I've seen somebody giving real organization advice on social media, i.e. throwing worn out shit away, it brings out the smug, offended hoarders in full force. "You'll regret throwing all that out one day!" Yeah, no, lady. There's never going to be a day when anybody with a job regrets throwing away a stained up sofa cover or a pair of sweatpants with a rip on the ass.

altough part of me wonders if society also has a disdain for keeping things, and considers it 'hoardin', as a way to shame us from planning for the future
big difference between "dont throw away that napkin, or that plastic stress toy i bought on a whim, i might need it one day!" and "dont throw out those wood boards or old fabrics, or broken down machine you can take parts from"

if we label it all under the same umbrella of 'hoarding' we can effectively medicalize the act of saving things instead of throwing out and buying more, which, in the long run, actually saves you apace and money
the classic catch 22 of labeling every undesirable behavior as a mental disorder to keep us in line

As a lifelong chopstick user who owns an absolutely beautiful box set of artistic chopsticks I bought when in Vietnam, I cannot emphasize enough how much this soycel twee nerd shit bothers me on some deep existential level.

JFC these weebs ruin everything...

Phones are one of the things that I will never ever buy used, why? because every single phone out there has been in the shitter.

Not kidding, take a used phone for analysis and they will always find fecal matter particles.

Always assume anything you buy second hand has had shit or worse on it and clean it well. That said I wouldn't buy a phone second hand either.

Those BittyPops are just expensive versions of the toys you could get out of candy machines in the 90s.

Hoarding is a very different animal to frugality. My grandparents, for example, threw nothing out, but they also bought nothing. My parents spent years renovating a shitheap house with no money, my father squirreled any possible useful item away he came across... but he always had a plan for that item and even though itd sometimes take years, it would eventually be used.


I've personally lived with three different hoarders. I even helped one move house. Ten year old food (that they were feeding to other people) so much equipment to cook food in there was no place to cook food. Dozens of old toothbrushes, tins of cigarette butts. One had a fridge full of food and when the fridge died, she just left the food in there to putrify for six months. What's really crazy is that she kept saying that she was going to repair the fucking thing and sell it. There's a very definite difference between keeping good cloth for future projects, or keeping some nice timber tucked in the back of the shed until you decide what to use it for. There may be the odd useful thing in a hoard, but the vast majority of objects are dirty, broken, and completely useless.

There's a special level of Hell reserved for hoarders who abandon their hoard and fuck off out of town, leaving some other poor bastard to figure out how they're going to dispose of tons and tons of contaminated rubbish that the hoarder found dumped at the side of the road and dragged home.

sounds to me like you got a bargain

Depends on whether the dick was worth looking at, or whether it was some Lovecraftian monstrosity.

"Flip phone dick pics" would be a cromulent username.

That reminds me, I only just recently learned that Barbie is a knockoff of a German doll named "Bild Lilli"

Not technically a knock-off, Bild Lilli was originally a sort of high-end call girl and existed in pinups and peepshows. The Lilli dolls weren't selling well so Ruth Handler bought the rights, named it Barbara after her daughter and then sold it as a fashion dolls for girls. Ken is also named after her son.

Lilli comic for your viewing pleasure, and yes I'm sure some German has jacked off to it.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

So they didn't steal barbie, but gentrified her.

It's a good thing you can't culturally appropriate vs. Germans.

So does everything in the public space around you - door handles, chairs, desks, goods in shops. Trays on planes are dirtier than the toilets:

The list​

Here’s the full list of the dirtiest places and surfaces on airplanes and at airports:​

1) Tray table: 2,155 CFU/sq. in.
2) Drinking fountain buttons: 1,240 CFU/sq. in.
3) Overhead air vents: 285 CFU/sq. in.

5) Seatbelt buckles: 230 CFU/sq. in.
6) Bathroom stall locks: 70 CFU/sq. in.

It's never too late to seek treatment for your mysophobia before it consumes you completely and wrecks your life.

At the risk of going a bit off topic, what even was the last piece of media that made you (you = any of us itt) actually feel something other than "amused" or "bad"?
