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

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.

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.

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.

I don't think Rainbow Dash likes where this is going.

[–] altec@midwest.social 8 points 2 months ago

This is some advanced brain rot

[–] deus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That cursed post has forever ruined jars for me

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Who tf disposes glass jars. I understand plastic but as long as you have space, why would you throw them.

I am both of the people in this image.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just store them in very large jars. I have several of these now. Don't know where to put them anymore.

[–] serfraser@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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?

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.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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. 🙃

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Instead of separating grocery stores by Vegetable, Dairy, etc, we should separate them into Dry Goods, Moist Goods, Wet Goods, and Iced Goods.

[–] notnotmike@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Commonly called a "refillery" in the US if that helps people search for their local options

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

Man, I gotta make the trip to our local unpackaged goods store. One of these days ...

[–] ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Jars are perfect for lacto fermentating anything

[–] SausageWallet@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

I really got hung up on the "reuse" part of reduce, reuse, recycle.

I'm happy that kombucha is popular now, and you can buy it in the store. What I'm not happy about is you can't find plain flavor! It always has some kind of fruit juice in it.

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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Mice musta thought you invented some kind of forcefield to protect your food. They can see it, but they can't get to it!

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

A wizard! Tis why they fled.

[–] icedcoffee@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

I have never been more attacked by a post in my life

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

The jars....THEY CALL TO ME!

[–] Thegods14@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You store.

I read that as an insult.

My grandfather always had tons of babyfood jars full of nuts and bolts, pins, and screws

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is my partner with jars.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

Same. Our agreement is that she can keep glass containers, and I can keep old electronics. We keep each other in check lol

I don't have space for empty jar storage. Or full jar storage. I wish I did though. I barely have room for dishes. Jars are cool.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Just like the Taoism concept of 'Pu', or the un-carved block, being a symbol of pure potential, an empty bottle is also pure potential

"Just look at all these pens and ink! I could write so many things: poetry, history, my deepest secrets, a book that changes the world!"

"So, what are you currently writing?"

"Well, nothing..."

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

To real. Pretty good chance that when I do want to write something (e.g. birthday cards), my pen is dried up and it's a whole thing to make it write well again ...
