For example, I saved a bunch of these small cardboard sheets that were separating the rows of cans in a box of cat food.
Add some glue and you have a little tent for your cat.

old cables. because YOU NEVER KNOW
SCART might make a comeback!
Also, what if I really need an extra 512MB of DDR2 RAM for something. Im wrong every day but one.
I saved literally every single RAM stick I've ever used (and more) minus two I gave to a friend. They're in a big ziplock bag tucked into the corner of a box of misc PCI cards.
I will almost definitely never have a reason to install RAM from the 90s...but they're there just in case...
Happened to me a few months ago with an old utility machine I have. I wasn’t as smart.
I used a few for my windows. Actual glass windows. They work as a stopper by wedging them in the track since they tend to slide on their own otherwise.
Actually people use those for retro gaming, even in the US where scart wasn't a thing.
I own even more scart cables than old consoles (and all the consoles just use phono-scart adapters), that's OK right? Right!?
I might have a need for all these ide cables at some point! Or a USB cable for a mid 2000s Motorola phone.
And save every cable tie ever, just in case
They go into a nice heap right next to the rat nest.
Sooooooooo many usb-micro cables.
Oh my god I got rid of like 5 cables like four fucking years ago and now EVERY SINGLE TIME we're missing a cable in the house it's "ah you threw all those cables out!"
