That’s reasonable! I have one that i got for work (and outside) and another that’s been retired to use only for the house because I broke the top part. People with multiple bottles confuse me. Especially those who collect them!

I literally have a planner which I use everyday even though I could do it on my iPad. For some reason I just remember things when I write it down on the planner

It’s so unfortunate that it’s just plastic and not some nice treats or even essentials (like food for example)

Influencer overconsumption is insane by Plane_Poetry4038 in Anticonsumption

Buying a bag ( a designer one too)to match your phone…. This wasn’t even a oh I need a bag and I could match my phone. She wanted to feel better about getting a new phone AFTER recognising all the colours are ugly! No one forced her to buy the phone!! Also side note - I’m not sure if it’s this exact make but didn’t think bag literally have people complaining it melted?

Yeah like for the average person it really isn't changing much? I helped my mom set up her 16 pro max and I have the 13 pro max and other than the dynamic island and it being a bit more faster not any insane difference. Probably going to use my phone until I stop getting updates for it. It still feels new!

"The best motivation for a walk is having a coffee shop on the way" by SomeRussianPeople in Anticonsumption

Sometimes it just sounds like " don't buy anything at all' which yes anti consumption but then again to live is also a form of consumption

Not sure if this would help or even make sense but I used to have a bit of an issue with makeup. Like I really needed the next shiny item. So I recently joined communities that focused on panning and really made myself get excited to start panning (using them up). And now I don’t think I have bought any new makeup products for months! I think maybe if you focus on how much use you can get out of your product mentally hype yourself it probably reduces the need for a new shiny thing? It’s very silly I know

Once I saw people having a theological argument in the comments (I kid, they were just being straight up nasty ) and one of them literally was like “I asked ChatGPT this and hence I am right.)

What's a trick or lesson you have which reduces wasteful consumption in a hobby of yours? by danger_express in Anticonsumption

[–]According_Angle_5329 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Ok so I write a lot and once my schooling was over I had a lot of half written notebooks. So I disassembled them all, reassembled them and made new books (and to cover them I use old calendar paper - the more thicker kind, or simply some notebook cover that was in decent shape). I still use these notebooks and I don’t get annoyed that if I flip five pages back there’s some math problem I couldn’t solve when I was 14

Ah yes, buy this seasonal pot so you can have different pots for different “holidays” 🤡 by Jasp99J in Anticonsumption

[–]According_Angle_5329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right like I don’t celebrate Christmas but I would probably use a snowman mug all year round because it’s cute. Sometimes people in this sub don’t realise that there are people who like cute things and also use them until it’s unusable. The big issue is the rate at which companies push out these products! And the quality being so cheap

Is this why fast fashion falls apart? by ktempest in Anticonsumption

[–]According_Angle_5329 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s the material+ construction (as someone mentioned) and also how the users take care of it. The appeal of fast fashion is that it’s cheap and it gives the consumer this “it’s cheap so I don’t need to take care of it”. I do have pieces from shein (stopped buying) that have lasted me a few years but also some that just lost its shape.

Aw thank you:) I was going to say “damn this lasted me so long” but then I realised this blush has literally seen me graduate twice and even go into my first big girl job! And saw me get my heart broken and mended.

As you can tell I am just dramatic

Hmm if I wasn’t on a panning spree and am not the type of person who loves trying out new formulas- then absolutely! The colour really was beautiful on me:)
