I recently moved and did in fact whittle my cable collection down considerably. Gone are SCSI (multiple variety), VGA, DVI, SATA, any type of ribbon cable, RCA (kept one set). Also sold off all my Raspberry pis, donated old desktops and laptops to students (this was during pandemic). But I still have a couple boxes of cables. Their usual use case is a friend or relative saying they have a problem that is cable related. Having them on hand allows me to solve their problem nearly instantly. That is emotionally satisfying so is clearly an emotional cable situation ;) The other thing that resulted from the move is that I have label boxes :)
