ADHD memes

Ha like I could just give away something so precious like hooby supplies used once. Sacred idols

But researching and shopping is an essential part of the dopamining

So, whats the protocol when someone lists something, and then immediately they're interested again because they listed it?

(I watched my ex go through this cycle so many fucking times)

There should be a contract that you get the tools but you also get the last unfinshed project. This way, hopefully we may all collectively finish a project

This used to exist on Reddit. I believe it was ADHDbay. The trouble is it probably needs to be modded by a neurotypical. I know I could only do it for a short time and then get bored and move on.

This is pretty much what swap meets (aka flea markets) are for.

We would crash the economy

So, in other words, a decentralized "Library Economy" or "Sharing Economy". Very Solarpunk. 😇

This actually is a good idea

Another idea: have 'lending libraries' for hobbies. Leave your art supplies and check out a keyboard and a Ukulele. Donate leather-working tools and while you are there you can use the 3D printer. Kind of like a cross between a maker space and a book library.

Smaller libraries might be able to combine the two ideas. I know you used to be able to check out video cameras and AV equipment before everybody phone did that at my library.

This way creative people in the community who otherwise couldn't afford to express themselves could have access to the tools to do so. I could make more room in my house by donating the art supplies to people who I know will use it... at least until they get bored of that and want to try something else.

I could see people holding classes there in how to use the tools properly, or even just hanging out to give advice to people who want it.

Isn't that basically a makerspace?

But seriously library economy, guys. There’s no reason for every house in your neighbourhood to own a jigsaw, or even leaf blower.

Y’all are buying stuff??

Man, I'm glad my hobbies only require a computer.

I was super into 3D printing and sold and gave away everything. Now I miss it and fighting my urge to buy another printer.

I might still have a use for my box of woodcarving tools someday. Maybe.

Library

I have debated giving hobbies away, but I may be interested in it again in 3 to 6 months.

look. I'm really going to use these domains I pay good money for every month

Those stay in the closet until I'm ready to come back to that hobby

"Hey uhm i know we just swapped like 30 minutes ago but I've suddenly got the energy and desire to dedicate 50 hours a week into that hobby again, could we swap back?"

But who would take over the website when I get bored?

But evaluating the equipment is the best part of it. I want to use what I think is best for me, not someone else!

Keep cooking!

Tool library or art collective

What if this was the original inspiration for Craigslist?

Sounds like Craigslist

I would use the fuck outta something like that. "HobbySwap"
