I suffer from a chronic inability to throw things away if there’s even a slim chance I might need them one day. I’ve developed a system I call “deep freeze”: I take the item, wrap it in food wrap and packaging tape, write what’s inside and the date it was sealed, then add it to the pile of other stuff I’ve put into long-term storage.

This obviously doesn’t help if you literally don’t have the space for it, but in my case it’s more about trying to stay somewhat organized. This way I can forget about it without throwing it away, but also without having to deal with it again.

I throw away stuff sometimes because it’s just too difficult to find it a good home

My city does a couple of official “free giveaway weekend” events each year.

People are encouraged to put used but still useful stuff on the curb with a “free” sign, and allow others to take what they need (only if it is marked as free, though).

I’ve got rid of lots of things, and have also found a good number of things I can use.

Sometimes I fantasize about having an unlimited inventory like in video games that I just throw stuff into. And how awesome would it be for a shared inventory that worked the same way.

You just described a public library. Get a library card, use it, and encourage your friends to do the same. This is one small way that you can actually make the world a better place right now.

Yeah that’s a planned feature update for outside but I don’t think we’ll get it in 9ur lifetime. We’re stuck in a loop with developers chasing thier tails while publishers/stakeholders are enshittifying everything for profit.

What happened to the flying cars?? We barely have electric cars picking up market share!
