Clutter.
Clutter is a slur invented by big minimalism to sell more less.
I love you
Welcome to Costco
<3
You have never lived with a hoarder...
Yeah that works until you have a stack of 20 pizza boxes you're saving "just in case."
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.
Or even worse cockroaches!
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.
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
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?
That would honestly be awesome. Me, I just buy stuff as the need arises
Thanks for the idea :3
Well, how else am I supposed to maintain my anxiety and anger?
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
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.
