I was sure this was the ADHD section
You're never wrong
I have an entire jar cabinet storeroom to store my cabinets of empty jars, and am building a warehouse out back to store more storerooms.
Many indoor plants can be propagated in glass jars of water. And you can stick those jars in pots if you want. You can forget about watering them for weeks and it's fine
Hi I have a small piece of aloe vera that's been cut off a bigger plant and it's spent about a year or two in a pot with some soil and it looked fine until recently I realized that it started to rot and it has no roots but there are new bright green leaves growing from the center. Would it be a good idea to wash the rot off and keep it in a jar like this to wait for the roots to start to growing and then replant it into new succulent soil? Sorry for a random question but you seem to have expertise in this
I don't think aloe vera will like water propagation but you can try. If you put it back in soil, add some more perlite and sand to increase drainage in the soil, and water less frequently.
Sometimes cuttings just rot and die even if you do everything right. About 1/3rd of my cuttings die even when others thrive, despite conditions being identical. So it's sometimes a quantity game rather than quality 🤷
Anything you buy that comes in a bag can be moved into a jar. It saves a lot of space because jars tesselate nicer and can use up vertical space more efficiently. It also encourages you to actually use the things you buy because you've now removed the friction of digging through piles of bags and hoping that the bag you pull out isn't load bearing for the rest of the pile. Opening a jar is also much easier than opening/resealing bags.
We never have enough jars in this household.
When our kids got old enough my wife threw out the plastic, Ikea flower cups that the rest of us all loved. She wanted us to use more grown up cups. We now all drink exclusively from her mason jars.
Jars are perfect for lacto fermentating anything
Who tf disposes glass jars. I understand plastic but as long as you have space, why would you throw them.
You don't have glass recycling?
No. I didn't know glass could be recycled as well.
I am both of the people in this image.
This is me, I save all the glass jars. Also save the tide pod containers and my wife coffee cans. They all have a use.
I have never been more attacked by a post in my life
I really got hung up on the "reuse" part of reduce, reuse, recycle.
A friend posted this meme on Facebook and my thoughts immediately went to Ocarina of Time. Was Miyamoto also a jar collector? How many jar-obcessed children did this game create?!

Need more bottles.
Break game to acquire more bottles.
I don't follow the OoT speedrunning community much, but I am fairly sure that it is possible to overwrite ... almost all usable items in your inventory with bottles, though some methods to do this basically make the game unstable.
If there isn't already such a category, I think there should be an Oops! All Bottles! category, lol.
I remember being able to pull off at least one of these methods back in 1999 or 2000, on an N64... at least one of these methods was circulating on GameFAQs.
IIRC, you can actually deflect certain range attacks, like Ganondorf's energy ball things... by precisely timing an empty bottle swing.
I don't think Rainbow Dash likes where this is going.
This is some advanced brain rot
That cursed post has forever ruined jars for me
Your day will come and it will all be worth it. My day came when the mice arrived. My wife, the one who holds me back, let me loose. Glass jars to the moon! Mice had no chance! I am king again. Brrruhhshahhahaahaha! Cackle cackle evil victory laugh.
Mice musta thought you invented some kind of forcefield to protect your food. They can see it, but they can't get to it!
A wizard! Tis why they fled.
I just store them in very large jars. I have several of these now. Don't know where to put them anymore.
I keep my very large jars full of jars in these massive cylindrical glass containers with lids on. Can't think of the name for them but they do the job.
That sounds like those Russian dolls where there’s a doll inside a doll inside a doll can’t remember the name lol
Wooden doll-jars?
The jars....THEY CALL TO ME!
You know what grinds my gears? I give someone a jar of my homemade jam, or of honey from my bees, in one of my GOOD jars, and I never see that jar again. One "friend" said she had some jars, did I want them? Yes please! Aaaand they were weird tall skinny jars or tiny sample size jars, all with the labels still on. Straight in the recycling bin. I should have kept them and given her a tiny sample jar of honey instead of the normal pound.
Rant over.
There's a local store, where you can bring your glass jars and they fill you up with all kinds of dry foods. Since I've started buying there, I'll look in normal stores specifically for products that come in decent-looking jars. 🙃
Commonly called a "refillery" in the US if that helps people search for their local options
Man, I gotta make the trip to our local unpackaged goods store. One of these days ...
Instead of separating grocery stores by Vegetable, Dairy, etc, we should separate them into Dry Goods, Moist Goods, Wet Goods, and Iced Goods.
I'm gonna take this moment to be pedantic for the sake of education. Cabinets do not do the act of storing as is suggested by your title. They house. You store.

You store.
I read that as an insult.

This is my partner with jars.
Same. Our agreement is that she can keep glass containers, and I can keep old electronics. We keep each other in check lol
You can store so many things in there! Soup blue potion, bugs, a fish, you name it!
