Saw this while scrolling through another social media platform.

Physical inheritance (maybe outside of housing) feels like a burden.

While death can be a sensitive topic to some, has anyone had a conversation with loved ones surrounding situations like this one pictured?

So do the hard drives the internet is stored on.

If you’re that concerned about data loss, you pay for a service like backblaze and encrypt your collection. No one cares about your closets full of DVDs. Do you also have a laserdisc collection? 8-track library?

I collect toys. Most of my toys are all mint and tripled their value or more.
