Debt.
Books and LEGO.
I can see your bookcases sweating from here.

Knives, flashlights, and books.
Interesting mix. What do you look for in a new acquisition?
I have a thing for gentleman knives, especially those made from particular materials. Böker has recently released one made from meteorite steel which I adore. But since these knives are VERY expensive I can’t justify this passion to my wife, so I never started collecting.
Bokers are awesome, I can’t afford them sadly. I can’t justify dropping $200 plus on a knife. I’ve been thinking about getting an Opinel just to see what the hype is about. They are very affordable.
I don’t take it too seriously. For knives it has to do with the metal quality. You don’t want pot metal knives. For flashlights it has to be L.E.D.S. I really like Olight. For books, it is mostly occult or esoteric if non fiction. For fiction I prefer fantasy and urban magic, like the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
Regrets.
Albumarworks. I also share it to my community !Albumartworkheaven@lemmy.world
Anything you look for in the artwork?
Not really
Experience from bad decisions.
Good judgement come from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.
CDs! i love putting albums in my stereo and listening to them :)
I started collecting CDs a few months back because I got fed up of not owning my music, now I’m looking into refurbished mini pcs to use as a server for it all.
A charity shop nearby sold 10 CDs in mystery packs for the price of one normal cd so my collection grew pretty quick, some of the stuff is shit but some of the CDs were multi disk compilations that have really helped bulk it out.
i personally like buying exactly what I want, if my trash shelf gets too full its time to clean up! if I had the room though I’d totally just buy batches of them wherever I can find
I’ve started collecting specific things now but at the start I just wanted to build up my library. It’s pretty rare to find my favourites even when buying new stuff though. The random packs helped me to find some new songs at least.
I started a british tea towel collection. But than I figured out that life is ridiculously expensive, so I haven’t traveled abroad in 20 years. My tea towel collection is still 3.
My thoughts and observations.
Guitars.
I mean I actually do use all of them. Most of them. Some of them.
…
One of them.
But the other ones looked so pretty.
You get me.
I collect envelopes and computers.
Why envelopes?
It might sound weird but I like their texture and I will sit there and fidget with an envelope or a piece of paper in my hand. I have over 50 of them so far in my bag now 😆
The ones I don’t like the feel of get tossed into the recycling bin.
A textural difference makes a lot of sense.
You know I don’t connect laptops on purpose, I just don’t get rid of them for some reason
Physical PS5 games
My condolences.
Mental health diagnoses. I collect 'em like Pokemon!
