For example, I saved a bunch of these small cardboard sheets that were separating the rows of cans in a box of cat food.

Add some glue and you have a little tent for your cat.

            I used a few for my windows. Actual glass windows. They work as a stopper by wedging them in the track since they tend to slide on their own otherwise.

          I saved literally every single RAM stick I’ve ever used (and more) minus two I gave to a friend. They’re in a big ziplock bag tucked into the corner of a box of misc PCI cards.

          I will almost definitely never have a reason to install RAM from the 90s…but they’re there just in case…

        Actually people use those for retro gaming, even in the US where scart wasn’t a thing.

          I own even more scart cables than old consoles (and all the consoles just use phono-scart adapters), that’s OK right? Right!?

      I might have a need for all these ide cables at some point! Or a USB cable for a mid 2000s Motorola phone.

      Oh my god I got rid of like 5 cables like four fucking years ago and now EVERY SINGLE TIME we’re missing a cable in the house it’s “ah you threw all those cables out!”
