    I own an E.T. cookie jar. His big *kitten* head serves as the top and I can only fit like 7 cookies in the body. I don't think it was meant for cookies actually, probably alien ashes, but that's what I'm using it for since I don't have a jacuzzi or bedroom trapeze to show off to guests. *shrug*

    Have a TV, no cable, no satellite. Left over from when child use to use. I do not have a food processor, or instant pot. I have a nut grinder, that you crank by hand. And we have complete collection of Twilight Zone DVD's.

    I still have a VHS player and the Star Wars films before the "special editions" were released. I like the dance scene in the Ewok village with the original music.

    Does NOT own: microwave, TV, sofa/couch/etc.

    Does own: desk treadmill, standing desk, too many computers, college text books/small library (these are becoming a non-existent thing in modern times apparently), 5-10k lux lighting & various other high intensity/uncommon lighting equipment (for living the nocturnal/vampire lifestyle)

    Does being a mid-30s woman who owns a pretty extensive Magic: The Gathering collection count for anything?

    I don't own a car or have a driver's license. I don't do social media besides this one.

    I own a full smart kitchen. My fridge has a tablet on it. I own several full size arcade games and pinball machines.

    A degree from one of the top two engineering institutes in the world

    So number two then? I mean, if it were the first one you would just say that. Unless you want us to guess. ;)

    Or if I don’t want you to know specifics because it’s too easy to look up personal private information then 😉

    I'm the original owner of my vehicle and it's a 2006 model...so almost 13 years old. No problems and don't intend to replace it until necessary. I like the extra money in the bank from not having a car payment.

    While we do have a flat screen TV and blu ray player (both inherited from my in-laws), we don't have cable or Netflix or anything like that, not even local stations.

    I also don't own a home. I've owned three in the past...lost one in a natural disaster, sold the others, just choose to rent at this point and totally happy with it. Probably would buy again, but not in a rush to do so.

    Things I own are mostly pretty general. Not everyone has the amount of bed linens or art supplies or clothing and boots I do, though. My weird "luxury" type items I own would be our Tempurpedic king bed, Vitamix, etc. Oh and we have six bicycles in the garage, all functional.

    I used to be a big time consumer of just about everything you can own and would spend thousands of dollars per year just on redecorating (like knick knacks, pillows, painting bedrooms). A tornado that took out my house really changed me, ALL for the better I think. I don't really call myself minimalist because I can't tick ALL the "minimalism" boxes...but I'm much closer than I was a decade ago.

    Ehh. Minimalism is a vehicle, not a destination. I’d say your mindset has you pretty squarely in minimalism mode.

    I used to be huge into redecorating like every few months and it kills me how much money i wasted.

    I cannot imagine having no car or license. I have to drive for just about everything, honestly even just to get the mail.

    We too have an extensive "paper" library. I love the tactile feedback from reading a book.

    Sweet. I'm still constantly collecting to stay up to date with it, despite getting into the game a lot later than most people who play.

    Dead tree editions are best IMO. I don't really like reading books on PC or smartphones. I also have MTG cards up to about 5th edition but haven't played in years.

    I no longer own a toaster, I no longer own a TV, I do still have cable TV because I haven't called the service to shut it off. I no longer own an Xbox. I do still have my PS2 and a VCR and the original Star Wars and a Letterbox version as well.

    I have Gundam Wing and two FF movies.

    I live in NYC and we have excellent public transit and we walk everywhere. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I have several watches, and wear a watch daily... but I'm not sure that qualifies to make me "different".

    Have you watched any of the other Gundam series? Unicorn was surprisingly good, although a bit space-operaesque.

    Also, you should get back into playing MTG! Though admittedly, they've added a bunch of mechanics since 5th edition. :lol:
