Don't you say shit about my man Sonny Eclipse. TBH it's the best QS in Magic Kingdom just for that. The food is pretty standard burgers and nuggets though.

Also, "makeup declutter" is an entire subgenre on YouTube:

How much of that makeup actually gets used before getting tossed out after going bad? I don't see how you could possibly need that much makeup unless you're just hoarding, can't even imagine how much money they spend because I know that makeup/skincare isn't cheap.

Over 9000 bottles of hot sauce.
Cool until you remember hot sauce doesn't last forever. A good amount of that collection is likely only worth having for the bottle and not the taste.
Do you like r/mechanicalkeyboards? Want something similarly spergy, but a lot less interesting? Introducing r/flashlight! No, I didn't misspell something else.
It's pretty much just that, flashlight enthusiasts with their own collections and memes. They even have meetups:

I know they’re consoomers on some level, but I low-key love stumbling across this kind of pure autism. I’m like crocodile hunter but for spergs. I don’t wanna hurt ‘em. Just want to observe them doing their weird, natural thing. It’s beautiful the way these freaks are about flashlights or dinobots or MREs (that subreddit is so autistic, I love it, they eat and review them even).
I feel a little guilty posting them, since they're not really doing anything bad or anything. But I'm also oddly fascinated by these groups and thought people here would appreciate 'em. Who knew they had meetups?

Betting on mostly competing to make the most batshit flashlight. Or just buying the most insane kind and just seeing how far away you can blind some forest creature.
That seems to mostly be what draws in a niche crowd to the subject anyway.

I like the chemistry of the older women. I have gotten a couple Golden Girls merchandise as gifts. Sue me.

I recall there's an old thread here about a Youtube community that obsesses over escalators. Like they'll post videos of them riding escalators and show who makes them and review them. There's also another Youtube community focused over toilets in the same way, and probably similar ones for all sorts of everyday stuff. It's autistic as hell, but that's the sort of good autism since people like that are the sort who could easily be hard workers at installing or repairing escalators or even doing industrial design to build new ones or for the toilet guys working as plumbers (although you might not want to hire a plumber who seems cold and detatched until he starts obsessing over your toilet). I'm sure these flashlight autists could do the same and help some company design better flashlights.

You haven't done anything bad either. We have a rule of not doing anything to them, so if anyone do anything. It's on them, and we do not condone it.
We just observe them in their natural habitat.

Wait, this flashlight autism actually seems interesting, compared to funkos.

Until they make the Maglite Funko (not an actual flashlight)

Plus groups like this are useful to everyone because on the off chance you have a question about flashlights or escalators or whatever it is, they will all be glad to help you for free because they love talking about it. Godspeed to them.

I used to be like this, man. Not really brand-heavy but I would look at these aesthetic consumer videos and tried to mimic that "feeling". I had some cool ass things but it didn't matter because nothing felt like how it was shown on other's pages. I wanted more. And more. Even though I had no space.
Then I realized "oh hey, I have a fucking problem".
Jeff Yeager wrote some great books about this mindset and how to save money while spending it on things that will actually make you happy. He's pretty eccentric but that's what makes him so entertaining, he's not your average serious "financial" guide.
These people usually have no personality and feel like the things they own make up for it all. That and they cling onto certain brands in order to escape the isolation individuality normally comes with. After all, why try to be your own thing when you can cling onto materialistic groups that all share the same interest?
