I wish that xkcd script could be true.

If I had disposable income, I'd consider doing bobcat in a box. But I couldn't find anything about returns. What if my bobcat arrives dead? How do I return a dead bobcat‽

Then that box better be a large wild animal container.

I'm pretty curious about the contents of other people's junk drawers. Maybe not subscription curious, but I understand the urge.

I think it could work as a community. Take a photo, see photos of other people's junk drawers.

I think you're onto something there.

Yeah, let's take pictures of our junk and show them to each other!

I’ve got a whole drawer for weed vaping paraphernalia that I keep meaning to get rid of.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Pens, random screwdrivers and Allen hexes from furniture, rubber bands, a giant box of paper clips that I have no idea where they came from, a stack of note cards, a couple pads of post it knockoffs, markers, pens that don’t work. Mechanical pencils. Markers that don’t work. Broken wooden pencils. A box of crayons.

9 usb cables, 6 of which are the OG USB mini, another is the printer cable. 3 other random power cords.

2 box cutters, 3 pairs of scissors. 3 lighters, 1 of which reliable for now.

And a random ball of string that’s keeping it all “connected”

Mine has two box knives, a box knife with a carpet blade, 4 pairs of scissors, a lighter, a bunch of twist ties, various types of command strips, a travel lock, keys to someone’s house (we don’t know whose), and empty battery packages. Batteries have been moved into to an organizer that lives in the storage cabinet in the basement, but the empty packages stay for sentimental reasons (we have ADHD).

I always wonder with these products, what percentage of the customers merely buy it to make a video about it...
