Ah - my depression era grandparents never threw things away. One reason: they could re-use the object if it were durable enough. And they did.
By the '80s (maybe earlier?) they were complaining about the culture of trash. Their survival instincts were telling them to save and re-use. Their shiny new culture was telling them to throw that shit away.
I won’t link it, but an image can be found easily. Right now I’m looking at a New Era Potato Chip canister that lives in my office. (It’s weird - seriously, google it. “Feast Without Fear.”) It’s still good for storing things.
I save things expecting to reuse them, but then I am disorganized and often can’t find them. Often with little computer accessories. So, even if I do need to reuse a dongle or cable, I can’t find it and order a new one anyway.
I am glad that I am not the type of person who collects items thinking they’ll increase in value, or I’d probably become a full blown hoarder.

Excellent work, though
“Scientifically Processed” lol. When ultraprocessed was a selling point
This looks like something you’d find in BioShock, or The Outer Worlds maybe.
that definitely looks like if I throw it away something terrible will happen to my loved ones

Links are viruses waiting to happen or something

My pops would keep all his old underwears because to him, they made great rags to clean off the stove and dry the car after a wash.
The first time my friend helped me wash my dad’s car, he just stared at the underwear like he was on some alien planet.
Get to drying, dum dum.
