There's no point to discard something that is still useful.

Clutter.

[–] user_name@lemmy.world 87 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Clutter is a slur invented by big minimalism to sell more less.

I love you

Welcome to Costco

You have never lived with a hoarder...

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Yeah that works until you have a stack of 20 pizza boxes you're saving "just in case."

[–] Phantaloons@piefed.zip 15 points 2 months ago

Why is everything either 0% or full tilt with some of you folks?

Throw your trash away, keep the things you like. For fuck's sake. Judgement exists.

Used pizza boxes attract ants. They are net-negative usefulness.

[–] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're useful for putting down before an oil change. But that's like, one every six months or so. Not 20.

Could just use any old cardboard for that. Pop open your recycle bin and just grab whatever box you broke down recently.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

Or even worse cockroaches!

Pizza boxes are a bad example, they are compostable

You can make great papier mâché out of cardboard

Better solution for that is not to get new shit when you don't need any

[–] socsa@piefed.social 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, when I turned 18 I just went out and bought everything I'd need for the next 60 years or so. Doesn't everyone do this?

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 2 points 2 months ago

That would honestly be awesome. Me, I just buy stuff as the need arises

[–] Amdouni@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the idea :3

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Well, how else am I supposed to maintain my anxiety and anger?

[–] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You don't have to keep buying new shit all the time. If you keep your old, still working stuff then you don't need to buy new stuff

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I can't remember the last time I bought something just to replace and throw out a perfectly good item. That's not how clutter originates.
