Why’d he have a Super Nintendo mouse but not the system, no games, nor anything else related?
Nobody will actually ask that, though. Because nobody would assume it was anything other than an old-school computer mouse with an obsolete connector. And even if they did recognize what it was, nobody would think twice about how odd it is to have that, and only that. The only strange thing, maybe, is that it’s stored with my keepsakes and not the rest of my obsolete tech, various cords, & connectors.
But the answer is: When I went away to college, I didn’t take my video game stuff with me. My cousins asked to use my SNES and games, so I gave them permission while I was away. They grabbed everything except the mouse. At some point, they decided to sell my stuff to help purchase their Playstation, so I never got my SNES or games back. Then when my parents lost their house to foreclosure a few years later, they packed my things into a box, and gave it to me. I’ve held onto it for all these decades.
I have a cursed mouse.
Not like a taxidermied mouse, but a cursed computer mouse.
It looks and functions like a normal wireless mouse… Until you get to a page where there is horizontal scrolling capability. Instantly, the mouse will scroll the page all the way to the right. This is especially fun in spreadsheets. The mouse will do this even if it is turned off. The problem is really the wireless reciver, not the actually mouse, but it is still a fun cursed object that I hope to someday unleash on some unsuspecting sibling.
Didnt know I needed an accursed taxidermized mouse until now…
Probably my 2lb jar of mercury. Have fun disposing of that toxic waste!
My family would put it in a trash bag and call it household waste.
My Zip discs. Kids today barely recognise floppies; they’d be completely stumped with those fat floppies that don’t seem to fit anywhere.
Zip disks are.practically common compared to ls120
Kids on finding your floppies: Why do you have save icons?
probably the zombie porn.
yeah… that or the Dino porn.
Thats a vanilla collection
what can I say, I’m a man of simple tastes.
What can I say, I’m a man of niche and geo restricted porn. I have a small collection that I’m trying to broadcast. I saw stache but they dont allaw multi users. Should I just spin up a jellyfin instance and host people and media there?
The later is a question for lemmings ty!
This is why I’m making sure to destroy my PC. Closeted fetishes, Rule34 stuff, SecondLife sex imagery and things I’ve done with people on there .etc
Everything in my physical possessions would not give off anything, but anything found on my PC would.
While I will undoubtedly leave behind a lot of weird things, I don’t think anyone who knew me would be that shocked by anything I left behind.
I have a plushie Yoshi amiibo from Yoshi’s Woolly World, and I’ve stuck every whisker I’ve found from my cats into its head, so now it looks like one of those troll dolls.
I have this same plushie and am horrified by this image
It only gets worsebetter with time. This is what yours could become.That’s incredible!
I have four big black bins in my closet, full of… adult stuff I think those would definitely qualify. Maybe the foxtails, or my hot pink bunny mask, I’ve got a bunch of weird costumes that would raise eyebrows
Nah those are perfectly explainable. U jus freaky like dat
I don’t think anyone in my family is ready to confront the reality of a knotted dragon dick, but my friends have all seen Chance before!
I have a family member who has walked in on tail things, but even that family member would not be prepared for the sheer quantity of tails…
Honestly, my network and server.
I am self learned so i often come up with my own creative solutions instead of knowing about a common standard. I can’t imagine anyone but me could maintain it.
In a previous iteration of my server i bent over backwards to make sure /home did not contain any user folders and instead only the mount points to numerous drives. Why? Inexplicably even if you do consider autism.
My first home server did something like this. I didn’t understand permissions very well yet (still not 100%, but certainly much more capable now). I think I used /var and maybe /etc to hold my docker compose folders.
The… fucking what… Let me guess, user dirs go into /var?
Sooooooo you only login as root?
Also no, and my admin user started with a capital. Which was also a pain to setup.
I am discribing my previous system though, my current system runs proxmox and is considerably more normal… though only as normal as i understand it to be.
What the fuck. That’s hilarious. My first thought for this questions was ‘sex toys’ too, but those are easy to explain. I also have a dildo lamp, but I got that from my sister, so also very easy to explain.
My tech stuff is likely going to be the least explainable, but because it’s eBay scrap parts hardware, not because I changed /home to a mounting folder though. That’s crazy.
You sound like me.
An outlet with a timer set on it I would say. I have portable solar panels and grow ligts too.
Everything is explainable to people who know me, sadly but - for the sake of the prompt - let’s just say they pull random people in off the street for some reason. Is it the eeePC that’s weird? The four PlayStations and one PSOne with a Japanese copy of the game of life with controller? The piles of cardboard and boxes in the garage, some of which are cut into shapes that may eventually turn into a cardboard 1/10 scale truck? The medical tubing and zip ties?
No, I’m willing to be the most unexplainable thing to strangers would be…
Two copies of Catherine: Full Body on the Switch, still sealed in their packaging. I’ve got a bunch of Switch games so at first glance finding a Switch game isn’t so weird but why two? And why are they both unopened?
I have a ton of unique 3d printed firearms. They are legal for me to make and own where I live, but I can’t legally sell them or give them away so they have just accumulated over the years haha
I’m the guy in the office people come to when they need something. Ibuprofen? Got it. Superglue? Got it. Change for the vending machine? Yup. I keep the change in an envelope I’ve labeled “petty cash”. Inside that envelope , I have a smaller envelope that I’ve labeled “mad money”. I have about $27 worth of Monopoly money in that one.
Unfinished projects. It’s amazing how hard it can be for someone else to see the vision on something until it reaches a certain point.
Also my second knife I forged, the first one being a beautiful bowie that sold at a charity auction the second being a crusty shank with an unpolished metal tang loop around as the handle.
Everyone always laughs when I say “sure I have a knife” for something and break it out.
