You know it's true

I only sorta understand collecting if its old stuff. If you're collecting something for its history and its sentinental value maybe that's even cool because you're extending it by doing so and prevent all that junk from finding its way to the scrapyard.

I only say sorta though because I still don't understand the mindset one has to be in and it is reminiscent of hoarding.

If you however collect mass produced garbage that is litterred everywhere and order it straight from the production line resulting in all of us getting that extra 0.01% dose of microplastics in our breakfast, then keep yourself safe. If you also think that this cheap garbage has any real value and that you're making an investment by buying it, keep yourself safe x2
