My smooth pocket stone.
probably the zombie porn.
yeah… that or the Dino porn.
My Zip discs. Kids today barely recognise floppies; they’d be completely stumped with those fat floppies that don’t seem to fit anywhere.
Kids on finding your floppies: Why do you have save icons?

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.
Aside from adult items, it would be my collection of 400 keys all on a bunch of different connected key rings or maybe my rum bottle full of used needles.
rum bottle full of used needles.
well, yeah… that’d would be… a biohazard to cherish lol
In my desk drawer is a small, plastic black box. Emerging from its surface is a toggle switch, some lights and wires that end in alligator clips. There is no writing at all, inside or out, It starts blinking lights and making an ominous buzzing sound if you let the wires touch each other while it’s turned on. I built it myself, and you’ve got no hope of figuring out what it’s for if you don’t know already.

It’s a test light for setting the external ignition timing on airplane engines, to make sure both spark plugs in each cylinder fire at the same time. I doubt even most aircraft mechanics would recognize it because it doesn’t look like a “real” one.
I have a collection of Quack medical devices from the early 1900s. Some of them are used now as electrostatic sex toys.
I’d love to see pictures !
Probably curious about why I, an atheist, have the Book of Mormon, the Catholic Apocrypha, the Books of Enoch, the Quran, and the standard Bible along with my collection of books on energy healing and astrology.
I mean, in my personal experience, non-believers study religion a lot more than ardent adherents.
hence the distinct lack of affiliation.
Those books all together in one place would tell me you’re probably an atheist without even knowing you
My reaction would be “I guess they were well-informed about their choices.”
Well-read atheists have more credibility
If an atheist didnt have these I’d consider them a contrarian rather than an atheist. Maybe agnostic but not an atheist, atheists have made an informed decision which you can’t do without being informed.
I don’t have to read fairy tales to refute that they were real events that actually happened. I would tend to agree with your overall sentiment, but if someone was raised non-religious, had to take history classes, and had a light exposure to different mythological frameworks, I would not say that they are uninformed if they claim to be atheist. I dont have to do a deep dive on Christmas lore to come to the conclusion that Santa is not real.
Went to a religious school and hated everything about the religion. Its awful. Constantly being forced to pray and sing, occasionally having to kneel on a hardwood floor with all your weight on your knees. My knees still hurt thinking about it. Fuck everything about it.
Then I got in trouble for saying I didn’t believe in god at the age of like 9 or so. Didn’t change my opinion, if anything it reinforced how much I hate religion. But I kept quiet about it to keep out of trouble.
Sorry you went through that. I went through the average American evangelical upbringing on the tail of the “satanic panic”. D&D, Pokemon, most television shows, horror movies, certain music, all satanic…Gay people bad, willful women bad, closeted racist predispositions…Evolution and science, wrong…Young earth beliefs…
I bought it all initially because I was not as well educated as I could have been. Luckily, I rolled a high intelligence score, and managed to break out. I look back at that me with disdain and regret, I was a horrible person on religion…
I just read books on everything that I was trained to think was wrong. Evolution fake? Read “On the Origin of Species”. Communism is an evil satan movement? read the communist manifesto (did not turn me communist, but at least I understand it). Other religions are wrong? Look into some of their texts, look at them from a historic/mythical lense. Conclusion, religions are myths, and nearly nothing I was told as a kid was as black and white as I thought it was…
Very true.
Even the oldest stories carry something… After reading enough of them though they are totally retelling of the same stuff (at least most of the ones I’ve perused have been).
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.
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 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
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…
Nah those are perfectly explainable. U jus freaky like dat
Remember that one really dark hentai that became a meme, “Emergence” or “Metamorphosis?”
I got the bright idea to get a paperback copy of it and now it’s just waiting for some catastrophe to unearth it from its hiding place, like a time capsule of bad decisions
A Time Capsule of Bad Decisions.
I like that.
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.
The… fucking what… Let me guess, user folders go into /var?
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.
Nice try, CIA guy, how about you come on down and see it for yourself if you really must know.
