I think it’s an over correction from being too consumerist. You go from extreme to extreme. I see this with people who didn’t exercise, and now they are all in with the gear and the diets etc.
But I wish there were certain things and spaces that were able to be rented. I don’t need a drill all the time. Sometimes I need a workbench and more clamps.
There’s a lot of community level optimisation we could do.
- braincrumbs 5y agoMost hardware stores do rent tools. And many towns and cities have tool lending libraries.
- emodendroket 5y agoI think a drill is the one tool pretty much everyone could stand to have.
- 2muchcoffeeman 5y agoI own a drill and would probably advise the same thing. But I clearly don’t use it more than a few hours a year.
- emodendroket 5y agoTrue. But also true that you can't really do quick, impromptu fixes if you have to rent the thing.
