How many would qualify as huge? ...asking for a friend.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, that label would better describe billionaires.

[(Anonymous)]

i don't know that i'd agree with the hoarder term, but i do think people are more into the hobby of buying books than actually making the time to read them. my sister is one of those people, who owns 300ish books, and hasn't read more than half of them. for comparison's sake, i've got around 650 and have less than 50 on my tbr. i've never understood people buying books they won't read.

[(Anonymous)]

You say hoarder like it’s a bad word.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. Hoarding is a problem because of all the rotting food and trash. Because it reduces the quality AND quantity of living space. Books aren't a problem until they get wet, and even then the carpet/furniture is probably also a problem.

I'm not saying having a ton of books you won't read is "good"* but let's not pathologize slightly quirky behavior.

*They're heavy as FUCK ok?!? I had to help sort/sell/donate my Grandmother's stash of 1000s of books and it was HARD. I wish she'd used the library more often. But if she'd had super heavy furniture or a rock collection it would have been just as hard.

[(Anonymous)]

I will happily accept my hoarder status. I have 232 books on my tbr, but I also read 199 last year and 122 the year before. I'm just a mood reader so I like having options.

[(Anonymous)]

Hoarding is more than just owning a lot of one thing, or many things, it's about it taking over the living space of person to dangerous levels and making the space pretty much uninhabitable(to those not hoarding). My mum is a hoarder and growing up with that was difficult.

People who have a habit of buying new books while they still have unread ones on their shelves mainly just have poor impulse control, and I can't bring up much effort to care about that or get judgey. It's not my house, they can collect lint rollers for all I care.

[tabaqui]

I would probably fall into this possible definition but frankly, I just do not have the extra money to buy every book that looks interesting.

[(Anonymous)]

IDC what anyone else does but honestly this is why I switched to ebooks. My husband and I had too many books so we got rid of half and try to stick to digital copies for any new purchases. We still have thousands of books that take up an entire room and I wish we could use that room for anything else. But my husband was raised by legit hoarders and isn’t able to downsize the home library again just yet.

[(Anonymous)]

Nuh ah, I identify as a dragon XD

[(Anonymous)]

And that is why I started hoarding ebooks instead. Much better for my back when I moved to a new apartment!

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who had to live with an actual hoarder for 18 years...this kind of pisses me off, ngl. There's a big difference between "hehe look at all these books I haven't read on my shelves" and "I have rooms towering with things, a lot of which are actual trash, to the point I cannot walk in the room and having people over is an embarrassing nightmare".

I’m not sure I remember this era. Can anyone help me out with some examples?

I still have no idea what the original was about. We got the official translation DVDs in college and it had symbols in the middle of words, and of course what we could make out around them was incoherent. We ended up just making our own story to fit the animation.

I've never met anyone physically repulsed by any genre tbh

Either way, it sucks to not be into what's popular, my sympathies OP

Whenever I am imagining running away and being a world/timehopping adventurer, I admit I gloss over reality and like to just imagine I am healthy and will stay healthy (and don't get periods or need glasses etc etc etc).

What Mandela effects do you suffer from?

[(Anonymous)]

I have two

1) I distinctly remember George Harrison dying Dec 31 1999, thinking to myself what a horrible date to die.

2) I remember Don Cheadle winning the Oscar for Hotel Rwanda, to the point where whenever I see his name, my mind goes "Oscar winner Don Cheadle."

Rare for me to get the yellow one last. (I don’t bother aiming for a “reverse rainbow”.) I kept thinking of those as the wrong part of speech.
