I am a collector, with a serious investment... not a hoarder

I like to collect weird sorts of antiques, but despite what anyone says I am a collector and not a hoarder. Like I keep old toilet paper rolls that haven't been used. Not the paper itself but the cardboard tubes. And other antique items that most would consider garbage. Like I keep the wrappers of food from years and years ago even, in case they get any value. I even have a burger king cheeseburger wrapper from 1998 that I have kept. I have piles and piles of antiques laying around the house.
And I keep small amounts of other items that some would consider biowaste. Like there are a few used condoms I keep in the freezer. I mean you never know, it could have real value. If shit seriously hits the fan and there are no men on Earth and only women survived the apocalypse, they could just take it out of the freezer, thaw it out and get the human race started again! I mean I know this is unlikely. But I feel like everything could in theory have a purpose. Whose to say what's "garbage" honestly.

I have been accused of being a "hoarder" because my house is literally filled to the brim with antiques of various sorts that most people consider trash. But they have such sentimental value to me. And when I think about it, there is a reason to keep EVERYTHING. I even keep a little bit of each bodily fluid in my freezer, just in case humans wipe themselves off the earth and aliens who arrive here find it someday. Like I have some vomit in a jar that I keep in the freezer. A turd. And a cup filled with frozen urine. I also have a used tampon from my ex that I keep in the freezer.

The turd could give aliens that land on Earth after the apocalypse a better understanding of our diet and the human digestive system. The same for the urine. Could give an understanding of diet and human metabolism. And the vomit would also give some indications to aliens who arrive after the end of humanity about how our digestive system works. I mean these are all medical and useful samples to a race of aliens that land after there are no humans on the planet.

Even the used tampon in the freezer could come in handy sometime, I mean if humanity was wiped from the Earth. And aliens arrived, they could look at it and through advanced scientific means figure out the cellular composition of the human circulatory system. Which could allow them to determine that humans used to breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. And other important facts about how the human body works. I mean it would be a functional blood sample for any aliens that arrive after humanity's demise.

However, some things I have are legitimately valuable. And could be worth something in the forseeable future. Like a bicycle tire from when I was 13 that broke because I ran over a nail. And a half eaten sandwich from 1999 that I kept in the fridge. I even have an antique enema from 2001, back when I had a problem with constipation. It's lightly used, but 100 years from now that could be worth a lot of money.

My entire home is filled with these antiques. It is like walking back through the ages. Like time travel from 1990 until today! I have some stuff that is already valuable, like beanie babies from Mc Donald's toys and old Burger King toys. Because I literally keep everything. I look at the long run picture. I would be willing to bet that my entire collection of items is worth well over a million dollars. And will probably continue to gain in value over time.

    Antiques?! Everything you described is garbage that will never have any value. You are a hoarder and need to seek help.

    Nobody would buy your old toilet paper, condoms, turds and other nasty shit. Stacking excrement, urine and condoms in the fridge for an alien invasion?!

    What are you gonna do, dump piss on yourself to mask your scent, throw turds at the aliens and then inseminate them with your used condom to make the perfect race of hoarder retards?!

    Clean up your house man! Antiques are old books, old technology, quality furniture, old vehicles, rare vintage old clothing, art. Those are antiques. What you have is disgusting garbage.

    Also my 2 cents on future antiques from the 90s. Original cassette tapes, a few VCR models, CRT TVs, 90s supercars, luxobarges and a few hot hatches (everything else was bland, boring and worthless), old computers and games (Cult following from old tech geeks) and that's about it.
    Everything else is, or will be forgotten and will vanish quietly into the night.

    I've watched the show Hoarders and what irritates me is that they took a perfectly nice house and let it rot. The house was probably worth more than all the useless shit in it.

    It's not antique, it's mostly garbage.
    You're either joking or need serious medical attention to help you with your hoarding problems.
    You don't see it but you're just looking for more and more excuses to keep everything, while deep down you know 3/4 of it is total garbage. The alien excuse being the worst.

      It's not a collection if most of it is not related. Then it's just loose peices of crap junk.

        Why are you saying this to me?

    Hey it's pretty out there and definitely not normal, but as long as it makes you happy and you are not subjecting anyone else to the inside of your house, then have at it. If you have a spouse or kids living with you then it's a serious problem... perhaps even considered abuse.

    To anyone,

    Can you imagine opening someone's freezer and there is a jar with this random turd?

    I wonder what kind of sandwich he saved from 1999? To the OP - yes there was the Y2K scare but I think at this point, any Y2K bug or threat has long passed. It might be okay to chuck the damn thing.
