Nail clippers. I kept losing nail clippers so I bought a pack of 10 and put two in each of the places I’d expect to be able to find them. I think I’m down to only having four now, so it might be time to buy another 10.

I have four copies of Skyrim and haven’t even played it.

I have seven coffee makers (various sorts, sizes, and materials). I use 3 regularly.

More generally, anything that I use frequently, like tools, I have multiples of because I misplace things a lot. Having multiples means it’s more likely to find things when I need them, without having to hunt them down.

Forks.

Scissors.

Don’t need to use them every day, but previously I could never find any of the three pairs I had. Then I realized that I have money and can go buy a dozen pairs of scissors.

Now it never takes me more than 30 seconds to find a pair of scissors. 10/10, would recommend this lifestyle.

Guitars. I have a whole stable, including a couple of electrics (Strat and Les Paul), and a few acoustics (My favorite, a backup, another one with a nice tone that is also electric, and a nice travel/parlor guitar).

I also have a short scale electric bass, and an acoustic bass. Also a couple of nice ukuleles.

I’m still on the hunt for a small all-mahogany acoustic, a 12 string acoustic, and a good semi-hollow body that isn’t white, red, or black. I’m also always looking for a good deal on a new electric bass. Also a banjo and mandolin.

I’m not in a band, I don’t even play with others, I just like to record my own music, both originals and covers, that nobody ever hears but me. And I delusionally believe I need a shit-ton of guitars to do that.

Anything Technology Connections gets two of.

Screwdrivers.

Phones. Got my current along with the last 3 I had. I haven’t disposed of them because I’m a little paranoid someone would reconstruct the contents of each phone if I just disposed of them.

Also, burned CDs/DVDs that are useless because they don’t work. I’m not good and throwing away discs, which is why I still keep them.

I thought about saying loose bread ties, but those are generally so useful for when one breaks or you just need one.

Knives and pocket tools, basses (electric/upright/electric upright), 10 mm sockets

Kidneys and thinkcentres.

Game consoles.

I enjoy collecting and modding them more than actually playing lol. Generally I suck at games.

Now I do play them. But I spend a lot more time figuring out better ways to use them and getting the best quality out of them possible, or trying to use og hardware but playing any game (like ps2 over ethernet)

Coffee machines. Three roommates, each one brought theirs.

Computers. I could do everything I need to do on my threadripper workstation, but it’s not as portable as my gaming rig. I move around a lot for work and wasn’t thrilled with my steam decks performance plugged into a TV for some games. Then there is my limited home lab stuff that I could host on the workstation for a minimal hit to power consumption, but why do that when I have tons of older hardware I could piece together to do it. Then there are my multiple Atari STs that I’ve collected. One of them is my first computer which I’ve managed to keep for almost forty years. I also have a few classic macs and dozens of video games, all of which I could functionally duplicate with emulation. I like old hardware, and now it’s not polluting the environment in a landfill.

I have 3 copies of “London Calling”. Original vinyl, CD, and the 25th Anniversary box set.

Handheld vacuum cleaners, one on each floor.
