So I started collecting bottle caps in college when I turned 21 with the rule that I had to be the drinker of the brew. 22 years later I'm still collecting and now color coding without purpose or end goal.

This picture makes more sense upside down. Is it upside down?

It's in Australia

Clearly OP has some kind of anti gravity bottle cap technology.

Yeah, Lemmy uploads made it this way. I even tried to correct it twice. When it didn't work I shrugged and let it be because ain't nobody got time for that shit.

It’s ok, no worries.

Pictrs strips all metadata from the media files. This is by design to not invade your privacy. It could be a bit more picky and leave the orientation tag, though :/

Unless the coasters are glued together, yes.

Might be an issue when uploading to Lemmy. On my older account I had the same issue with a picture I uploaded. It turned sideways after posting lol.

[–] krey@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe it removed the EXIF that had the orientation in it and OP took the pic while holding the cam/phone upside down.

The end goal is... for your heirs to throw them all while shaking their heads and muttering "Diogenes..."

(source: I've been that heir just too many times already...)

This collection is at least organized, so it might be that they actually have a use for them.

I kept them for years in a big jar without any purpose behind it, then I had an ant problem in the yard and used them to make any baits with borax and sugar. I never considered it hoarding so much as accumulating stuff that took up little space, in the event that I find a need for it years down the road.

But I'm also not sentimental about that stuff. If I need the space and haven't used a thing for years, I figure the odds of ever needing it are close to nil, and I'll get rid of it.

Yup, the stuff hoarders collect over almost always just end up in the trash and serve only to bring annoyance to whoever has to clean it up. Recently had to clean up after a hoarder relative died, not fun at all.

Send it to Bethesda when Fallout 5 launch.

without purpose or end goal.

Now you know what my life is like.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

In the museum of fine arts in Houston there's a really cool wall tapestry made out of bottle caps.

Maybe you could do that.

What was the American flag cap to, special edition Budweiser?

[–] southqaw@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like that is a home brew cap of some sort.

I've seen something like that on tequila before, though I don't remember the brand.

How's your liver holding up?
