A creative use (Other than donating) for junk.

Donating generally works, but what if I've done all the donating I can/want and still have tons of junk, or if I prefer to donate specific items because I like to donate using EHSP and large stacks of items? So I thought of a few possibilitys of what to do with all that junk. My first Idea was to have a machine that would eat whatever amount of junk you decide to throw in, you'd press a button, and it would throw out a random item, perhaps partially based on the value of the items put in, but with a certain element of randomness as well. My second Idea was to have a new kind of machine for making something like "Junk blocks" and you'd basically just make block out of your junk, which would be used along with some kind of junk crafting skill to make new useless clutter, but prettier. Or maybe to make something else that's useful , but I sort of like the idea of it being used to make totally useless trinkets to set on your coffee table, or even really large useless trinkets to display around the house.

  • +1 If nothing else, that would allow you to maximize the effectiveness of EHSP since you could compress various random items into multiple of the same thing (for a single donation).

    @WalruZ for me, junk is anything I leave on the floor "temporarily" because it's not worth sorting. Before the recent change to gardening bonus items, this ended up being a lot of small food and drink items.

  • One thing you can do is check out the take-some/leave-some piles and exchange your unwanted stuff for stuff that may suit you better.  But I like your junk machine ideas.

  • Rather that take potentially useful items and compress them into blocks, why not free-cycle them?   Leave them in the world and someone will take them and use them.  Especially when we open to new glitches again, they are thrilled to find freebies on the streets.

  • This is true, Diaveborn and Walruz, I could just give it to people who want/need it, but what about when I feel selfish and want more pretty junk! Lol, but in all seriousness, I guess by junk I just meant basically what Janitch said, lots of small little items that I don't find very useful, I suppose it was less of a solution to a problem of junk, and more another way of using it. I could always give my pre-compressed pretty junk block things to newbies to! It's less that I want the option to get rid of my junk, and more the option to transmute it into other junk.

  • I love this idea, but we would have to call it a transmogrifier.
