Guitars.
I mean I actually do use all of them. Most of them. Some of them.
…
One of them.
Physical PS5 games
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.
Knives, flashlights, and books.
Interesting mix. What do you look for in a new acquisition?
I don't take it too seriously. For knives it has to do with the metal quality. You don't want pot metal knives. For flashlights it has to be L.E.D.S. I really like Olight. For books, it is mostly occult or esoteric if non fiction. For fiction I prefer fantasy and urban fantasy , like the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.
I have a thing for gentleman knives, especially those made from particular materials. Böker has recently released one made from meteorite steel which I adore. But since these knives are VERY expensive I can't justify this passion to my wife, so I never started collecting.
I stopped because I don't want it to overtake my living space more but X-Men figures.

I collect spores, molds and fungus.
Have you participated in !fungus@slrpnk.net and !mycology@mander.xyz?
Not quite, because you see... I'm employing a cultural code here, the use of which implies I'm older than coal itself.
Godzilla toys - I have hundreds of Godzilla figures I don't know why but they make me happy.
Godzilla will never go out for a pack of smokes and not come back.
I have a bunch too, but the collection started by accident.
I like Godzilla. I like the old movies, I like the new ones. He's a giant radioactive lizard, what's not to like? I'm not a superfan, but I enjoy the franchise(s).
I'm supposedly hard to buy for, I think mostly because my interests lie outside the rest of the my family's to an extent, and tend to be niche or technical in nature, so I get Godzilla swag and toys for Xmas and birthdays. I don't mind, it's fun.
nothing anymore really. I have a few things that I sorta don't want to part with from my earlier consumer days but now I just want to dejunk and live sparesly.
Experience from bad decisions.
Emotional trauma
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.
Albumarworks. I also share it to my community !Albumartworkheaven@lemmy.world
Books and LEGO.
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.
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...
Please share your useless knowledge!
You can grab a cobra by the neck by really slowly pushing it's head down to the ground. Start high with your hand and remember: no sudden moves.
Not op, but I always thought this was fun. For any continuous quantity, (eg temperature, humidity, barometric pressure), there's always two points on opposite ends (antipodal points) of earth with the exact same value. Its useless because there's no way to know where these points are, it assumes a perfect sphere, and apparently these quanities aren't exactly always continuous. Its the Borsuk-Ulam theorem from topology and extends to higher dimensions. It can be proven pretty easily on a circle with basic calculus.
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.
Music. I've got an extensive collection of vinyl records, and a smaller collection of CDs, tapes, and MiniDiscs.
I collect envelopes and computers.
Why envelopes?
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.
You know I don't collect laptops on purpose, I just don't get rid of them for some reason
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.
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.
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.
What makes them "cool"?
Regrets.
Hyperfixations in the form of hobbies.
!Autism@lemmy.world says hi! Please join us it's not just autistic people many conditions are present
I have slowly been collecting CDs for my music collection. Same goes for my manga and stuffed animal collections. Though, they have all been sloe going, at least they occasionally keep growing.
Minerals! Flourite is my favorite, but I also have an affinity for Great Lakes regional material. Lake Superior agates were my gateway drug.
Are you aware of !cool_rocks@lemmy.today?
Thank you, yes! I'm currently subscribed. I comment sometimes, but in general I'm more of a vote-and-lurk person on Lemmy.
I have some cool things I could contribute, though. It's been a minute since I checked out image hosting. It's what's holding me back from making original posts. Do you have any recommendations? I appreciate it!
Magic cards. Specifically old border black foils.
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.
Nice. For classical music, is there anything you look for specifically or do you go for any performance?
For classical music, is there anything you look for specifically?
Currently, my collection mostly contains works from well-known composers like Beethoven, Mozart, and Debussy. However, I do have some compilations from lesser-known composers such as Antonin Dvorak and Franz Schubert.
Do you go for any performance?
I'm open to any classical piece, be it from famous composers like Mozart, to lesser known composers like Dvorak.
I get composers, but what about performances? I assume two separate orchestras would play the same piece differently and your experience might be able to pick out the differences.
Yarn.. I have knitting needles, crochet hooks.. but hardly ever use them 😂
Vintage watches, pens, physical media (mostly records and blu-rays these days), started getting super into coffee so coffee gear now, probably a lot more I’m forgetting at the moment.
Edit: forgot to add: pottery mugs, kitchen gadgets, whiskey (if that counts), pewter artwork (very slowly, only have 3 pieces right now), I’d like to get more into collecting knives but that’s a bit too much money for me currently.
Books. Slowly working on organizing them by Library of Congress number, but it’s a large collection and a lot of effort. I give fiction and contemporary political nonfiction to little free libraries once I read them, but still have quite a lot.
Comics and figures. Also trying to get all those 40,000 war hammers.
All of them? Damn, you must be rich.
I’m trying! There are hardly any in the kits, though, so I’ve only got like seven or so of them for now. I don’t know why they have the little guys and other shit cluttering up the boxes, the game is about hammers, and they throw in just a ton of other useless bullshit that they call “models” and “units”for some dumbass reason, it’s fucking stupid.
