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.

- Throwaway comment that mentions a potato chip tin that's not directly relevant to the comic
- Top image results link to etsy and I'm not bothering to check the rules about that
- It's not hard to find
- Never expected anyone to lose their shit about it
Excellent work, though

Links are viruses waiting to happen or something

"Scientifically Processed" lol. When ultraprocessed was a selling point

that definitely looks like if I throw it away something terrible will happen to my loved ones

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.

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.

Pretty uncool to be making fun of people with a mental disorder.
The person depicted in this comic is clearly a hoarder and is clearly drawn to be visually reminiscent of a Neanderthal or another less evolved variant.
Hoarders need help and treatment, not made fun of.
...But I guess punching down is how people have fun.-
That's not what I read here at all - it says "I should keep this." Many of us have an urge to keep things, and in many cases we're justified in doing so. Every person has had the experience of evaluating whether or not to keep an object, and I would guess most people have come up with specious reasons to tell themselves they should keep a thing. Hoarding is just taking that to the extreme. Because this comic is recognizing a tendency in one's self it seems completely misplaced to say it's punching down.

You nailed it.

Not how mental illness works, but go off, I guess.. 🙄
(but don't really, this kind of bullshit only deepens stigma and misunderstanding of how it does work, and makes those who suffer feel even more alienated)

Everyone in this thread is absolutely roasting the artist right now by saying her self-insert looks like a Neaderthal and spreads a bad image of mental illness.

Welcome to Lemmy. You'll love it here.
Every joke is scrupulously analyzed for the slightest tinge of character outside of the norm of a leftist echo chamber.
I'm a leftist as well, fellows, but do we really need to take offense to literally everything?
It's a comic, from the two measuring cups guy from when Biden won. He can't draw that well, but he's still cool. I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt your widdle feelings too bad.

Due to inflation 10-20M is worth about 60 cents today.
That much ?
