I already have a laundry basket but these were FREE. I also found a free bucket last week.
It's quite amazing that there's a place full of free things that you can just take when no one is looking.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

This always bugged me. I throw away stuff sometimes because it’s just too difficult to find it a good home so I imagine there are lots of things like this.
Sometimes I fantasize about having an unlimited inventory like in video games that I just throw stuff into. And how awesome would it be for a shared inventory that worked the same way. I mean I guess things like free stuff on Craigslist or Facebook are sorta like that but requires the time and means to go get it.
My city does a couple of official "free giveaway weekend" events each year.
People are encouraged to put used but still useful stuff on the curb with a "free" sign, and allow others to take what they need (only if it is marked as free, though).
I've got rid of lots of things, and have also found a good number of things I can use.
I suffer from a chronic inability to throw things away if there's even a slim chance I might need them one day. I've developed a system I call "deep freeze": I take the item, wrap it in food wrap and packaging tape, write what's inside and the date it was sealed, then add it to the pile of other stuff I've put into long-term storage.
This obviously doesn't help if you literally don't have the space for it, but in my case it's more about trying to stay somewhat organized. This way I can forget about it without throwing it away, but also without having to deal with it again.
You just described a public library. Get a library card, use it, and encourage your friends to do the same. This is one small way that you can actually make the world a better place right now.
Yeah that's a planned feature update for outside but I don't think we'll get it in 9ur lifetime. We're stuck in a loop with developers chasing thier tails while publishers/stakeholders are enshittifying everything for profit.
What happened to the flying cars?? We barely have electric cars picking up market share!
