Discussion Do you collect anything?

[otomedissection]

I like to collect little vintage knick knacks, especially from the 70's. I also like little trinkets such as keychains and stuffed animals. Also plush Garfields.

Plush Garfields is a peak thing to collect imo, I don't know why, but I love Garfield. I liked the movies too

This is my first time hearing of them, but I just looked them up and they're very cute and I like the concept of them

Wow that's super cool, that's a ton of files. On which device do u collect them? (if u want to share)

I have them all on my cellphone and my laptop. I store it all physically.

They have been around the US since the 1980s! They are adorable in my opinion, and the plushies are so soft too. Im a 32 year old man btw lmfao...some irl people think im weird for being obsessed with them, but I still wouldnt change it for the world!

Idk, I don't think it's weird, they're cute. Nothing wrong with plushies in general. I still have a couple of mine, some angry birds plushies, I really like them

Its definitely not weird in my opinion either, but some IRL people (a couple of friends who aren't friends any longer) used to tell me "a grown man shouldn't be collecting stuffed animals" and call me weird and sh*t. But kinda like I said before, idgaf about what they think, I wouldnt change it for the world!

I'm male and liked Care Bears as a child (I'm a bit older than you and caught the tail-end of their initial popularity). I recall having the yellow one and one of the blue ones, though I'm not certain which.

That's a spectacular hobby. May I ask how large your collection is and if you have a favorite time period within which to collect? The Mac SE is from around the late 80s, right?

I don't keep count, but probably 25-30ish machines from the Apple II through the Windows 7 days. It's hard to pick a favorite era - I have a lot of nostalgia for the custom PC culture of the mid-late 2000s (the stuff I lusted after as a kid) but I've been increasingly into 90s stuff ever since I added the SE and a Pentium MMX system to my collection.

The SE came out in 1987, I think. Mine is from mid 1988.

 

[PimpHand]

I collect retro video games.

I have a original NES, a SNES, a N64, a GAME BOY 1989, A DS 2004 (the gray fat one), A White Wii, a Switch OLED and a PS3;

My next tyarget is a GBA SP. But since I have a NDS with GBA compatibility I don't care too much.

Also I have lots of games, for instance I have an original Quake II for N64 with the original box, and an original Fire Emblem Monshou no Nazo cartridge.

I have autistic urge to collect and organise, but I'm also very anti-consumption. So I collect memes and catalogue music.

I collect mp3s! I have over 43,000 local files with completed meta data. I started building my collection when I was eleven.

I imagine it's similar to stamp collecting. Back then they didn't have memes, lol

I also collect only ones that punch me in the gut, not everything
