CDs! i love putting albums in my stereo and listening to them :)

[-] TheWeirdestCunt@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

I started collecting CDs a few months back because I got fed up of not owning my music, now I'm looking into refurbished mini pcs to use as a server for it all.

A charity shop nearby sold 10 CDs in mystery packs for the price of one normal cd so my collection grew pretty quick, some of the stuff is shit but some of the CDs were multi disk compilations that have really helped bulk it out.

Guitars.

I mean I actually do use all of them. Most of them. Some of them.

One of them.

[-] HobbitFoot 8 points 1 month ago

But the other ones looked so pretty.

[-] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

You get me.

[-] yuknowhokat@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Experience from bad decisions.

[-] Tujio@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Good judgement come from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

I stopped because I don't want it to overtake my living space more but X-Men figures.

My condolences.

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

Pirated TV series, specifically those that are finished.

[-] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Knives, flashlights, and books.

[-] HobbitFoot 5 points 1 month ago

Interesting mix. What do you look for in a new acquisition?

I started a british tea towel collection. But than I figured out that life is ridiculously expensive, so I haven't traveled abroad in 20 years. My tea towel collection is still 3.

[-] Libertus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I collect spores, molds and fungus.

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

You must be some fungi.

Godzilla toys - I have hundreds of Godzilla figures I don't know why but they make me happy.

[-] HobbitFoot 8 points 1 month ago

Seeds, firewood, axes and tools, information, collaborators and community, ammo, firearms; though my collection is set and not planning more. Silver and gold but haven’t bought in years.

[-] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

Music. I've got an extensive collection of vinyl records, and a smaller collection of CDs, tapes, and MiniDiscs.

I have a couple hundred keys I’ve found on the street over the years. I also have a collection of old cameras. I have 9 right now, but I’m getting a whole box of them for free in the next few days.

[-] Primor@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Books, ebooks, ukuleles/guitalele/guitars, knowledge, hobbies, notebooks, fountain pens, ink, tools, knives, bags till I find the perfect one. Not all of them very actively, but I have a few of each of them...

I collect envelopes and computers.

[-] HobbitFoot 5 points 1 month ago
[-] c64z86@piefed.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It might sound weird but I like their texture and I will sit there and fidget with an envelope or a piece of paper in my hand. I have over 50 of them so far in my bag now 😆

The ones I don't like the feel of get tossed into the recycling bin.

Pretty clothes, hats, jewelry, crystals and cool rocks, musical instruments, board games, video games, antique wooden puzzles, books, ice cream recipes, crafting supplies and good fabrics, vintage kitchen equipment and appliances, solid wood furniture, projects, skills, hobbies.... everything is interesting and my house is a glorious mess full of fascinating things.

[-] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Coffee mugs.

I actually have next to no glassware in my home aside from a few beer glasses and such that were gifted to me. Otherwise, I just use the mugs for everything lol.

I ended up with three crucifixes by various happenstance, and then I kinda just started buying cool ones whenever I'd see any in thrift stores.

Actively, at the moment nothing. Well, maybe buttons.

Reluctantly, I have a weakness for typewriters, I like to fix them and I have what I consider way too many in the restoration queue.

Knifes glass art and plant drugs

[-] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Music!

I've been building up my collection for a few years now. Mostly just video game soundtracks and classical music. I don't have any interest in popular music.
