I'm wondering what is actually rubbish or what is usefull, for example I've had a sheet of foam for a couple of years that I'm sure could be useful but it takes up space, should I throw it or keep it in case I can make something ?
I used to save things like that. I had a sheet of foam, and finally did use it to make a foam sit-upon with a cut-out for a friend of mine, who spent so much time sitting on his a$$ his tailbone got sore.
@Scarfface A sheet of foam would have been useful to me over the last couple of nights when I slept in my car while driving through Europe. I packed the car full of all sorts of things but forgot that so sleeping in my car was less comfortable than usual.
Anyway, when I have something like that I list it on our equivalent of Ebay/Craigslist/Gumtree. It's surprising what people will take of your hands and even pay you for. I sold four ancient Pentium CPUs last week. Only got the equivalent of 5 USD for them but that's still better than them being scrapped.
You forgot the “some things are useful at certain times.” I once went to an art gallery, and there was a pile of trash on the floor that had been varnished. It was an exhibit. It still looked like a useless pile of trash to me, but I guess someone found a use for it.
I'll tell you what's rubbish. I posted this 17 hours ago, and only one person has seen it. What are the odds? Either this new algorithm is shit, or I'm being shadowbanned. https://similarworlds.com/funny/aww/4328172-The-laundry-pile-meowed-at-me-today
