So I started collecting bottle caps in college when I turned 21 with the rule that I had to be the drinker of the brew. 22 years later I'm still collecting and now color coding without purpose or end goal.
This picture makes more sense upside down. Is it upside down?
It's in Australia
Clearly OP has some kind of anti gravity bottle cap technology.
Yeah, Lemmy uploads made it this way. I even tried to correct it twice. When it didn't work I shrugged and let it be because ain't nobody got time for that shit.
It’s ok, no worries.
Pictrs strips all metadata from the media files. This is by design to not invade your privacy. It could be a bit more picky and leave the orientation tag, though :/
Unless the coasters are glued together, yes.
Omg, thankyou. I was struggling.
Might be an issue when uploading to Lemmy. On my older account I had the same issue with a picture I uploaded. It turned sideways after posting lol.
Ready for the nukes
I was thinking of making a pixel-like mural where I figure out how to use all the colors I have. I was thinking of crowd sourcing it with friends and acquaintances. Then I realized I would probably end up with a huge multi-color bottlecap penis mural in my shitty real-life remake of bottlecap r/place.
I guess it could unlock a special achievement to find it when the nukes fall.
When I was collecting caps, my plan was to make a picture on a table with them then seal it in epoxy.
Send it to Bethesda when Fallout 5 launch.
In the museum of fine arts in Houston there's a really cool wall tapestry made out of bottle caps.
Maybe you could do that.
The end goal is... for your heirs to throw them all while shaking their heads and muttering "Diogenes..."
(source: I've been that heir just too many times already...)
This collection is at least organized, so it might be that they actually have a use for them.
I kept them for years in a big jar without any purpose behind it, then I had an ant problem in the yard and used them to make any baits with borax and sugar. I never considered it hoarding so much as accumulating stuff that took up little space, in the event that I find a need for it years down the road.
But I'm also not sentimental about that stuff. If I need the space and haven't used a thing for years, I figure the odds of ever needing it are close to nil, and I'll get rid of it.
Yup, the stuff hoarders collect over almost always just end up in the trash and serve only to bring annoyance to whoever has to clean it up. Recently had to clean up after a hoarder relative died, not fun at all.
what does this go on?
Looks like it's the bottle opener to open all those bottles. https://www.ebay.com/itm/123784687669
haha I would have never guessed that, but it makes sense being there.
I've seen something like that on tequila before, though I don't remember the brand.
You could create a table/bar top out of them with some epoxy resin
I think he could do an entire floor at this point.
without purpose or end goal.
Now you know what my life is like.
Alcoholism with purpose!
How's your liver holding up?
I mean it doesn't seem like a ton of caps given it's over 22 years
Yea that’s like six months worth for me lol (sad face)
What was the American flag cap to, special edition Budweiser?
Looks like that is a home brew cap of some sort.
Can confirm. It's been awhile since I've brewed but I used these caps when I did.
