A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
And the concept of infinite growth.
Financially, if your company is not expanding an increasing amount quarter on quarter on quarter, it's considered to be failing.
And yet, nothing can grow forever. At some point, all things must come to an end. It's an unrealistic pipe dream.
Say that the Instant Pot is so good that everyone has ten of them. Where would they grow from there?
