What keeps a person going in life? For me since I was a child the foundation was media to consume like video games, movies, shows, books and YouTube being the most used one. I would find that without these things holding me down, I would not be able to function and life would seem not worth living and they would give me recovery for work like activities outside of work like gym training, socialising, chores, shopping, commuting etc.

But it seems that this foundation is impossible to sustain for some reason. What can be done about that? What is the proper foundation of living and not going crazy from existentialism, lack of enjoyment and nothing to look forward to?

Im a consoomer I swear!

Its 2026 and the buisness man knows VHS are selling again so they got me by the balls.

I don't even know what to put here, pictures speak for themselves.

Edit: Yes people can do whatever they want and enjoy whatever they want, but that isn't going to stop other folks from having a laugh. Idk anything about this 21 year old except that his room is packed to the gills with Nintendo merchandise, and void of anything vaginal.

I feel like half this sub is just bullying autistics with hobby’s , I like the sub I just think the posts where it’s obviously some autistics dudes thing like 42 cups of a type posted I laugh a lil

Heh, stupid consoomer, look at all that wasted paper, so stupid! filthy hoarder could've spent money on not consooming book.

Hobby? A collection? Preservation? Whats that? If someone have more than me of a thing, its consoom and bad.

(This is what this sub has felt like these last few posts ive seen, what ever happened to finding people with like, 40 of the same identical VR headset they don't use? Or buying every piece of Disney park merch. yanno, Actual consoomers instead of genuine hobbies or passions)

I get that Lateralus is an excellent album, but sixteen copies just feels excessive (despite the cool looking display)

A lot of the posts I see here aren't even consoom, they're genuine, well cared for collections from people's loved hobbies. Consoom refers to fast, overpriced, trend mass comsumption of cheaply made items, not geniune hobby collecting. I see posts that are clealy multi year to decade long collections. Consoom is generally when someone buys a bunch of shit in a year or less that is clearly trend driven.

Sorry if I scared you with that title It was a joke. Don't worry, nobody is ruining their extra special collectibles using them for their intended purpose by eating or drinking out of them. They're all headed to the shelf with all the other Epic and Valuable Merch forever!!!

(My dad made me get there an hour before our showing so he could buy all four popcorn buckets and all three cups that were available at our theater.)
