What hobby seems to have the worst hoarders? (kbin.melroy.org)

I think people who are into crafts. They have all of these yarns, construction papers, various tools and stuff. All so that they can say that they have all of these projects in mind that they want to do. But they never do them so they get more crafting stuff and it just eats away storage until their place is practically consumed by it.

I feel like you're attacking me for my ~~drawer~~ ~~box~~ ~~crate~~ ~~tote~~ storage rental of cables...

As shit, I've got one of those for spare car parts...

Oh man, the car parts one take up so much space too.

Do I need three exhausts for my WRX? Nope, but I keep banging them up off reading.

3 engine blocks, all needing some form of rebuilding. Mostly just new bearings. Or an entire extra wire harness because in the last rebuild it was just easier to buy a new one.

All my old shocks and springs after I replaced them with outback gear.

And that's just what fits on the car. I've got big brake kits for cars I don't even own! But they're like $2k if I can ever find a buyer.

No no, I'm sure my box of IDE Hard Drives & CD Burners will be of use to me at some point...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I'm sure if you add up all those hard drives, there's like 1 GB of storage! That's valuable, right?

You laugh and you joke but I stumbled into a PS2 original, the fat one, with a network adapter so you can slot a hard drive in. I went into my spare parts and pulled out an old IDE hard drive, as the PS2 was before the spread of SATA (I think even before SATA was announced) and it popped right in and guess who doesn't have to worry about discs
