Do you collect anything? How did you start? (lemmy.world)

I find that most people in my life have at least one "thing" they are collecting. It is often an insight into their personality and it is fun to hear people talk about something they are passionate about.

Vinyl records. I like to own copies of music I like. It's much more satisfying to go through and find something to listen to.

Bottle openers from breweries I go to. Fairly small and they have by the bar. I don't drink as much beer as I used to so that's slowing down.

Record collector here too. I can tell you exactly when I started, and it was when I saw a copy of Beggar's Banquet by the Rolling Stones for 50p in a charity shop. Didn't even have a record player at the time. Now I've got 471 records and counting and spend far too much money on the hobby.

Same here with the Vinyl. Started DJ big back in the 90’s and haven’t stopped collecting since.
