because if its colorful its "hoarding" and "bad financial decisions"

[@elan825]

They need the beige to not feel overwhelmed by all the stuff they bought. Just like they need tons of cupboards and organization tools to not have to constantly see all the clutter they acquired. It also hides it, so the money sunk into unnecessary junk escapes your mind and you don't have to be confronted by your bad consumerist choices.

As someone who grew up in a family that reused and saved every jar and container we bought and wore things (like shoes) till they were literally falling apart and survived on second-hand clothes and furniture and VERY rarely got new toys, I will say becoming an adult and having even a bit of disposable income it’s been so hard to train myself to balance between “I’m allowed to buy something nice for myself once in a while” but also “do I really need it or does it just look pretty or glamorized”. I still try and recycle/reuse things but I don’t save every single container from a product I buy. I still thrift my clothes but will buy new every now and then. I hate this trend of collecting reusable water bottles and ALL the stuff. It makes me feel so gross.

Why do you need to carry everything on your massive cup? What happened to having a bag or that one joke about girls being able to carry 800 things in their hands because they don't have pockets 😔 (somebody give these poor girls some pockets)

[@theinvisiblewoman5709]

Maybe that’s the problem yeah? Online everything is a joke that teases or shames random social behaviors (that aren’t necessarily bad or harmful) like women’s purses being a portal to Narnia. So some staunch capitalist sees this discourse and turns it profitable. The only solution is to keep sharing with people the cons of capitalism as an economic system.

[@lucieciepka1031]

Before I had a big A4 size hand bag, where 30% of it was my wallet, then a phone 🧱 some makeup, a small pocket for that time of the month. Now I mostly go out with just keys and phone, at most I have an evening small pochette 👛. If my biggest item was my cup I would attach everything to it too

i hate the skin care/makeup overconsumption so much. Not only is it incredibly unnecessary but its also useless, since more than half the products the person bulk buyed will probably go bad before they get to open them

[@bear9295]

Exactly. But just wanted to point out it's 'bought' not buyed. (I'm not trying to be mean. Maybe you didn't realise. )⭐

[@maciejstachowski183]

I mean, once you have a skincare routine and products (or other cosmetics, or food, or anything consumable really) you know you're going to use regularly, why wouldn't you stock up, whether it's because you found a good temporary deal, can save on shipping by buying in bulk, or even just to have confidence that you don't need to worry about the state of your skincare supplies for a few months? Expiration dates are obviously a thing, and there's no point buying a kilo of moisturizer only to then decide "eh, I actually don't like this one that much", but if you know you are going to use up something, having a solid supply of it is just more peace of mind and one less thing to keep track of.

[@pinkmuffin9842]

Please, stop eating Crumbl. It’s undercooked and over priced (not to mention the way they treat their workers). Just go out and get a tube of cookie dough from the grocery store and make it for yourself. If you want that soft cookie style, cut the cookies and then freeze them. Cooking from frozen will help give you the outside crisp/inside soft thing. And if you wanna make your own fully cooked but still soft cookies, switch away from all purpose flour, cake or bread flour can give you more cake-y or bread-y texture. And if you want to REALLY make a soft cookie mess up proof, remove 1-2tbsp of flour and replace them with corn starch. The amount is variable depending on recipe size, but take it from a professional baker. It’s doable and you don’t have to run the risk of kinetic sand cookies. Edit: Gonna add this here cause a few people have thanked me for the soft cookie tips. If you want softer cookies from scratch, never melt your butter/fat. It needs to be creamed in (beaten with the sugars) until it's light and fluffy since that's the only way air gets added into your recipe. Combine that with the other tips and you shouldn't have any issues.

[@robynskeletons6881]

I like to make the recipes that have some packet cake mix subbed in place of some flour when I want that super soft cookie 😊

I think people who excessively overconsume in this way actually have wounding and fears around scarcity. Like my mom always has bulk snacks, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. and I asked if she had a fear of running out of things. Since then she’s brought it up multiple times and expressed she is really afraid of not having enough to survive, even though my family doesn’t struggle for money. It stems to her childhood and how he parents raised her around money. I also think buying things can be a source of dopamine that people really cling to, despite the fact that there are other, healthier options.

i think an interesting thing about the whole “wanting stuff to be aesthetic is shallow and bad” argument is that like. people by default like things that look nice. we like things that are pretty or fun or pleasing to the eye and that’s like extremely normal. and i feel like the modern world has often abandoned the concepts of like graphic design that’s meant to look good in favor of graphic design that’s meant to be insanely eye catching (and oftentimes ugly) on the store shelves. and in the past, cheap stuff was plain and boring, expensive fancy stuff was embellished. and we’ve flipped that completely to cheap stuff being embellished in a tacky, cheap way and expensive things being aesthetic and plain. no one wants their shower/kitchen to look like an advertisement with clashing colors and loud texts that reflect brands and drawing the eyes attention to them rather than the surrounding room that’s been decorated with the individuals personal wants. having things that are plain (not even pretty necessarily) is a privilege in this portion of hyper-advertising stage of capitalism. and if you can’t afford/don’t want to buy the products with packaging that assaults your eyeballs the next best thing is to find a cheap plain aesthetic package that diverts attention away from the product and allows the eye to focus on the room/actual decor that you’ve decorated your home in for your own pleasure, not just to look cookiecutter “good” and “aesthetic” for social media. it feels like the hyperunderconsumption core is oftentimes just trying to punish poor people for a) daring to engage in an inherently unsustainable capitalism system for things that aren’t basic needs and b) wanting to have a nice, pleasing space to live in by acting like any poor person who’s trying to curate their home in an affordable manner is just “over consuming” and trying to “copy the rich tik tok influencers they’re too poor to be like :(“ rather than realizing that poor people are people too and a lot of people naturally don’t LIKE to live in a place where they’re surrounded by things they don’t like looking at.

I store my food in clear containers in the pantry, but only because I don't want bugs to get into open containers- anything that comes sealed stays in it's original packaging.

[@petiteange08]

It take some time, but if you want to have your stuff in jars instead of containers in which they came in, just keep the glass jars you get from products such as pickles, jam, etc. Eventually you will have a good collection of them. Yes they will be in different shapes but no additional money spent.

[@Klp0414]

We use them for glasses to drink out of too!

[@NightOwl030]

Hear me out about those drawer organizers, I am a disorganized person at times and things on my desk and bathroom counter can get really messy. I kept seeing shorts of people organizing their stuff with those containers and also using a counter shelf for their bathrooms to organize their things. I decided to buy some myself and it helped me greatly. It made my space look really clean. Though I am all for organizers making life a lot easier and cleaner, I think we should stop buying things that we don't need. I think having like five AirPods is too excessive. Or even buying too many iPhones every time a new one comes out. I also think that is too excessive. Having some organizers to organize their things, I think is a good investment since things tend to get hectic and all over the place but over buying things it not the way to go. That also includes under buying things because I can see that as becoming unhygenic and a potential health hazard if it's way too extreme. Just my thoughts on the matter.

[@jbird4478]

It doesn't help if you are disorganized. People who buy those containers for that reason always end up being equally disorganized, but now with additional stuff in those containers, and everything else still on and around your counter. Those things only work for people who are the polar opposite; obsessively organized. Because you need to actually keep those things in order. It doesn't magically stay organized.

[@NightOwl030]

@@jbird4478 It worked for me because everything had its own place and I knew where to look when I need something. When things are all bunched up in my drawer, it’s hard to find things. Just in my experience, it has helped me a lot better than without the organized containers.

[@NightOwl030]

@@jbird4478 I understand that but for me, everything has its place. I usually lose things or they're just laying around on my desk or bathroom counter. Having those containers help me find things easier and give each thing a place off of the desk and bathroom. I guess it is all about upkeep and staying consistent to keep those items where you decide to put them in the first place.

[@elizabethkahn9155]

I recall an organizational book recommend wait until you have downsized/decluttered to find out what you actually have already before purchasing storage. It does look like they are not only purchasing the storage but items for it in one swoop.

I get accepting a sponser bc yk money, but aura doesnt provide proof that they do anything. Not only proof but they seem to only target the big data brokers (NPD). These arent the people you should worry about. Those people (the ones to worry about) have built their own webscrapers and save what they want on their own servers. Aura will not help IF youre already a victim.

[@galaxyderp]

One thing! The original concept of the bag for a tumbler/reusable water bottle was by Kate Gabrielle. She had so many designs, I feel bad that it was ripped off (the patent is currently pending). I remember seeing it waaaaay before the Stanley cup craze. It's meant to hold so many differnt types of reusable cups. I've wanted one for a while but they didn't really have anything in my style, per say. LOL

We only recently had IKEA opened near us so we can check it out, and I fell in love with a lot of organizers, and honestly a lot of the times they do provide a great benefit especially for people with big drawers and a lot of mess. I like sorting out my pencils and desk, sorting out my small shelf with arts supplies. I also bought containers for small food storage but use them quite rarely. and boy i'm so terrified of watching those "restock" videos. they scratch my "perfectionist" itch but when i realise how much money i'm looking at i feel so bad. also the amount of time required to refill and organize it is scary.

I validated myself by learning about Linux, before my 50s, no prior computing education. I am converting all 3 machines to Linux. I have refurbished my 15 yo ex Vista laptop, increased RAM, swapped hdd for ssd sata, cleaned of dust and repasted, installed Mint xfce and it is running like new, quietely. Win11 will run only from a gen2 usb if needed from a second hand compatible laptop I bought cheap 3 months ago to learn Linux. I am not going to send any of my functioning computers to the landfill where Microsoft wants them to go. Done with the corporate rip-off. I am proud of my humble achievement.

And that comes with realisation, that neither aura nor deleteme will protect my data, due to endless leaks from various databases. I don't need to pay to anyone telling my data is out there. I know it already. And I act like I am just about to be scammed or hacked: backing up data, moving carefully on internet and ignoring scam baiters. Only downloading stuff from trusted sources and vetting risky files in a sandbox via virustotal. Different email addresses for different purposes, or even different browsers for that matter. No youtube sponsor ever convinced me I needed them.
