But seriously library economy, guys. There’s no reason for every house in your neighbourhood to own a jigsaw, or even leaf blower.

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.
"That's socialism though..." Shut the fuck up becky, we know.
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.
Sounds like a great idea which neither of us is gonna remember about tomorrow. I'm in!
Remember what?
I have everything you need to make graphic tee shirts..... 5 years ago.... boxes never opened....
Capitalism if it was actually driven by demand.
Genius!
What if my hobby is buying craft supplies?
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
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!
We could make e-waste into a crafting activity!
Except to would have swappers remorse and almost immediately become super interested in the hobby again.
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?
Ha like I could just give away something so precious like hooby supplies used once. Sacred idols
As long as I hang onto it I can convince myself that I might pick it back up at some point. To give it away is to admit defeat.
Used once? What are you made of, free time? I just like to buy it and dream of the day I will use it.

So, whats the protocol when someone lists something, and then immediately they're interested again because they listed it?
(I watched my ex go through this cycle so many fucking times)

There should be a contract that you get the tools but you also get the last unfinshed project. This way, hopefully we may all collectively finish a project

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

This used to exist on Reddit. I believe it was ADHDbay. The trouble is it probably needs to be modded by a neurotypical. I know I could only do it for a short time and then get bored and move on.

This actually is a good idea
No, see I’m going to get back to needle felting! I’m just figure drawing, building battle bots and 3d modelling for a bit. Then I’ll get back to it and I’ll need all my stuff!

Another idea: have 'lending libraries' for hobbies. Leave your art supplies and check out a keyboard and a Ukulele. Donate leather-working tools and while you are there you can use the 3D printer. Kind of like a cross between a maker space and a book library.
Smaller libraries might be able to combine the two ideas. I know you used to be able to check out video cameras and AV equipment before everybody phone did that at my library.
This way creative people in the community who otherwise couldn't afford to express themselves could have access to the tools to do so. I could make more room in my house by donating the art supplies to people who I know will use it... at least until they get bored of that and want to try something else.
I could see people holding classes there in how to use the tools properly, or even just hanging out to give advice to people who want it.

Isn't that basically a makerspace?
Sounds like communism, better stamp that out immediately.
