Tell that to the guy who drives a 3 ton pickup truck to work every day, because of that one time 4 years ago he had to transport a fridge rather than pay £20 to have it delivered.

Sounds like communism to me. Better not say that too loud.

I've been thinking for years now about the idea of opening up a "neighbourhood kitchen." I would prepare and provide all sorts of common ingredients, as well as cooking tools. People could come in and use what they want, maybe paying a membership fee plus used consumables. The most annoying parts of cooking are gathering the ingredients and cleaning up, these would be done for you.

So, in other words, a decentralized "Library Economy" or "Sharing Economy". Very Solarpunk. 😇

Around Seattle we got tool libraries, I don't see how this would be that different

Sounds like a great idea which neither of us is gonna remember about tomorrow. I'm in!

Capitalism if it was actually driven by demand.

I would use the fuck outta something like that. "HobbySwap"

Genius!

What if my hobby is buying craft supplies?

[–] oftenawake@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My hobby is collecting broken computers and putting them on a shelf for later! Your hobby sounds pretty sensible - come the apocalypse you can craft away and you'll have loads to barter with! Artists will travel to peruse your epic retro craft supply cavern!

I'll be left wondering what to do with a Pentium Core2 if I don't take action soon! I do upcycle them but right now the backlog is silly and they probably just need to go to the dump because nobody wants a midrange PC from 20 years ago.

Maybe my hobby is e-waste!? Fark! =-O

[–] LemmyThinkAboutIt@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well since you put it that way, my hobby is sensible. But then you reminded me of my other hobby of keeping every electronic device I've ever owned, along with wires, chords and ac adapters I don't even remember what they go to. Together we're like the e-waste little mermaid!

[–] oftenawake@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

We could make e-waste into a crafting activity!

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Except to would have swappers remorse and almost immediately become super interested in the hobby again.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Got too many PCs, like optiplex small/medium ones. Can live without 4-5 I guess. Two tiny m710 (I upgraded them to m910q ^^) one with the famous cd.

What would you (imaginary) trade with me?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Epic idea
