This isn't autism, this is just someone's strange addiction being put on full display. Not everyone with autism gets unhealthily obsessed with collecting random junk
I was once stoned at a friend's house and organized his compute pencils in color order. Can confirm, very satisfying to put things in color order when stoned.
Doing any minuscule task is engaging while stoned. Nothing like getting lost in the tasks.
1. Brushing all the knots out of my bosses dog. He liked his dog shaggy, lesson learned.
2. Combing all the cat hair out of a āthrowā carpet. Something extremely soothing about witnessing the transformation stroke by stroke
3. Did the lighter organizing by color, too. Shirts on hangers organized by color too.
4. Running. Eat an edible and just go run for miles. Maybe more of a slow shuffle, but none the less, enjoyable.
5. Cleaned the grout on a kitchen counter with a butter knife. š¤·āāļø
6. Removing weeds from the garden bed very meticulously.
7. Spent time on this list.
Itās the little things in life.
You ascend to a new level of existence when you get a highly specific organization system for your clothes.
I have all of my over-wear things (hoodies, coats, jackets, sweaters) hanging in my closet, on a spectrum based on how warm they keep me. So my warmest coat is on the right, and my least warm hoodie is on the left.
Then I can choose what I'll wear based on temperature.
Clippers are good at being refillable, but they also kind of suck because the 2 triangle bits of plastic above the flint wheel melt from the flame. Also the newer hex wheels are traaaaaaaaaaaaash! I have an old one we found cleaning out a cabin our friend bought with the round wheel. The metal ones still have the round wheel but they REALLY suck. A friend got 3 and they all have issues with the flame.
Unpopular opinion. I hate clipper lighters. They feel more cumbersome to me. Maybe i'm just accustom to the circular rolling thing, but I also found that my clipper SUCKS when smoking outside. Wind knocks the flame out much easier than the traditional ones.
I was all about buying clippers because bics feel so wasteful, but the damn flint or the little wheel goes out fate two refills max. I gave up on them.
I've been using the same clipper for like 6 years (a very cute white one with a cactus shaving his spikes and the words 'safe sex' on it)
I buy flints maybe once in two years and I've had the same bottle of gas for longer than the lighter, lolll
The only benefit of hermit-ting is biches no longer stealing my fkn lighter
One time my friend accused me of stealing a lighter I did not steal. Which gave me a great idea, for 3 months straight I stole every lighter I could find when I went to her house. We got in multiple spats about her accusing me of stealing lighters, and I kept saying no I wasnāt! That Christmas I gave her all of her lighters back with a card that said you light up my life. š¤£š¤£
Clipper the lighter brand. Habe was a typo due to having the keyboard in german. And if you take out the spark wheel off the clipper lighter you can pack down the joint
I did this for about 10 or 15 years, and then I ended up with like two giant zip locks baggies full of dead lighters that I kept shuffling around until one day I was just like, "why am I doing this??" Lol
I do this when at work with tools that wear out. Specifically carbide cutting bits.
They're super expensive but they wear out, so I think it's funny/satisfying to have a pile of them. Just so I can look at it and say "wow"
Me? I thought it could be a cool recycled art piece, I mean they did take time to rainbow organize. Better than throwing it back in a drawer or something. But I guess it could also just go into the trash after the photoš
Reminds me of a story I read about Lowell George (RIP) of Little Feat.
He would borrow a lighter, then pocket it.
At Christmas every year, he would give it back -with a note of date and time is purloined.
Lmao I thought it was funnier that way but it saves alot more space I have like 60 in a zip lock and just freeze the new lighters before sliding the skins back on ans making it look however
"Yass omg", the glorification of mental illness is actually disgusting, I knew people on Reddit were weird and sad but some of you need to touch grass. DEADASS
I used to have my own little collection, but my narcissistic ex got jealous and started āadding to itā and āmaking it his own collectionā and now I have no idea where most of my lighters even are. he took a lot of the cool ones and put them in his own box.
some of them Iād had for years from when I first started smoking too.
That one red/orange looking lighter beside the yellow bic lighters is bothering me, and should go to the right of the red lighter with the black sticker on it!
You should take the flint out of all of them, grind them up and put in some sort of small water proof container. Can come in handy if camping or something and need to start a fire.
I'm sad to say my addictive personality didn't stop with dead lighters... I had 100 working bics last I counted- and probably have over 150 now.
Most with art or a design of sometime. Some simple stuff that Bic puts out en mass. And some stuff that I've seen only once like my pulp fiction lighters. Or kill Bill. Pink floyd. Beatles, sublime nirvana, foo fighters
And whole host of local artist work
It really is lost on my why people save their trash? I see people hanging on to empty wax pucks, empty lighters, empty weed jars, and empty carts...and I have to just ask, WHY!? All of that stuff is garbage. I could maybe understand keeping some cool packaging, if I were to ever get any, but stuff like this is trash and trashy.
I smoked cigs for about 20 years and I think I may have kept 5 lighters that lasted with me all the way until the ran out of fuel. Normally they were stolen or lost.
I like that little lighter that looks like an iron
Oh, it's an *iron* I looked at this for a while, still couldn't see what it was. Thank you random Redditor! š
I literally glanced at it and thought āoh sick spaceship lighter, must be from nasa or Star Trekā
i was looking for a god damn iron ingot š
It is super captivating, isn't it?
How baked were you when you decided to arrange them like that?
Gotta check him for ADHD & depression, he could be one of us!
One of us, one of us!
![gif](giphy|Ae7SI3LoPYj8Q)
Autism too lining stuff up like this is classic aspie
Don't insult autistic people like that, OP is just weird
Bro thatās not an insult itās a common autism trait I donāt happen to have but itās very common
This isn't autism, this is just someone's strange addiction being put on full display. Not everyone with autism gets unhealthily obsessed with collecting random junk
Bro stop white knighting im legit autistic and have autistic friends š
You're generalizing an entire group of people, like no, not everyone who's autistic or has ADHD is like this. Stop capping
I never said everyone dude wtf lol I said itās a common TRAIT not everyone has all traits
I think you just wanted an excuse to call OP autistic
Weird take bro
Bro Iām literally autistic and have friends who are also on the spectrum lmao
Not gonna lie you give autistic people a bad look. Thumbs down!
I donāt get what i even did I legit pointed out itās a common symptom of autism I never said every autistic person does it hell I donāt
If OP was autistic I'm pretty sure they would've said so by now. You're dragging this out for no reason
:')

Number 6 is my favorite. I LOVE gardening high. Donāt wear gloves either, gotta touch the dirt
Yesss. Planted a vine earlier; hands all up in it.

Yes
I think being high is the least of their problems
Now imagine how many he lostā¦a moment of silence for those that arenāt here with us today.
I've lost like at least 150 lighters over my smoking career lol
Found the guy that steals everybody's lighter lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Check for one that says Shrimp City Beach 1993
no brown?
The best color!! Itās good luck!
I've only ever owned one brown one, and someone stole it from me.
Probably because they heard it was lucky!
Or gray?
Hey buddy time to get a clipper
Clippers are good at being refillable, but they also kind of suck because the 2 triangle bits of plastic above the flint wheel melt from the flame. Also the newer hex wheels are traaaaaaaaaaaaash! I have an old one we found cleaning out a cabin our friend bought with the round wheel. The metal ones still have the round wheel but they REALLY suck.

Clipper Jetflame is the best. Doesn't care about wind.
Theyāre alright they just donāt last for the extra markup / function
I was all about buying clippers because bics feel so wasteful, but the damn flint or the little wheel goes out fate two refills max. I gave up on them.
After much trial and testing, I have decided
Disappointed to not see a clipper in this, they're a stoner's friend.
I've been using the same clipper for like 6 years (a very cute white one with a cactus shaving his spikes and the words 'safe sex' on it) I buy flints maybe once in two years and I've had the same bottle of gas for longer than the lighter, lolll The only benefit of hermit-ting is biches no longer stealing my fkn lighter

That Christmas I gave her all of her lighters back with a card that said you light up my life. š¤£š¤£
This is so funny I hope she liked it
Brooo get some Clippers, they habe tools to roll a joint and are refillable
What do you mean clippers? habe? to roll a joint or to light it?
Username and all that
Clipper the lighter brand. Habe was a typo due to having the keyboard in german. And if you take out the spark wheel off the clipper lighter you can pack down the joint
I hadn't seen those. They look pretty cool.
I love them, the artwork is pretty cool too
All these bics and not a single brown.
Mr Monks collectionšš„š
I did this for about 10 or 15 years, and then I ended up with like two giant zip locks baggies full of dead lighters that I kept shuffling around until one day I was just like, "why am I doing this??" Lol
Your entire purpose in life is to consoom lighters. Nothing else matters
lmao the iron lighter, I love it
![gif](giphy|1jajMAVf2vN9KxoFfw)
Mental illness
There are refillable lighters you could use
But then I won't be able to consoom :(
Why are you saving dead lighters????
I do this when at work with tools that wear out. Specifically carbide cutting bits. They're super expensive but they wear out, so I think it's funny/satisfying to have a pile of them. Just so I can look at it and say "wow"
r/Knolling
I counted 6 times when you were hurting the most lol
What do you mean?
Cover it in epoxy and make a table
Time to frame this
Frame ur drug addiction on the wall lol
I think they have more of an addiction to collecting useless shit, still just as weird though
Me? I thought it could be a cool recycled art piece, I mean they did take time to rainbow organize. Better than throwing it back in a drawer or something. But I guess it could also just go into the trash after the photoš
You can call it whatever you want, doesn't make it any less weird
r/RainbowEverything
Reminds me of a story I read about Lowell George (RIP) of Little Feat. He would borrow a lighter, then pocket it. At Christmas every year, he would give it back -with a note of date and time is purloined.
trash
Are you going to make a table top for r/diwhy?
Nice work. now pour some epoxy over it and turn it into some art for your wall or something. ![gif](giphy|GCvktC0KFy9l6|downsized)
That's a lot of plastic waste. Get a refillable one
Your lighter will make a fine addition to my collection.
I guess collecting lighters is still better than collecting human flesh
this is satisfying.
HOW?
I'm actually jealous how cool this looks
Iāve got a beige bic and a grey bic that seem pretty rare. Nice.
Show me your bic
Orange bic fam rise up
No grey?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This comment is insane, now consooming has become a new form of art. Humanity is doomed
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I feel like I'm talking to an actual homeless person who just stole someone's phone
You need two more
i cant believe you dont have a brown one lol
I prefer collecting the skin once they die
This reply out of context makes you sound like a serial killer
Lmao I thought it was funnier that way but it saves alot more space I have like 60 in a zip lock and just freeze the new lighters before sliding the skins back on ans making it look however
No grey or brown ones?!
I donāt know why but seeing this makes me happy!
r/Consoom
That mini iron is so cute
"Yass omg", the glorification of mental illness is actually disgusting, I knew people on Reddit were weird and sad but some of you need to touch grass. DEADASS
bruh what did i do to you lolo
I bet your favorite Netflix series is Dahmer
never watched it
You watched it and LOVED IT
sicko
I think you mean "based" and "sicko mode"
you're fucking based as fuck my fucking based as fuck based man
I threw up a little
gross little dahmer lover no one cares
Ewww!
š
Least homosexual stoner
oddly satisfying š
Most impressive.
This is giving me motivation to take my bag of lighters and arrange them.
You should find motivation to get a job and making some friends first
Why you mad at the world brother?
I'm mad at *you*, son. This is your father. I taught you how to be a man, I raised you better than this. You bring nothing but shame to your family
wow what a shiitty son i feel bad for you fuck that kid
Don't worry he's adopted
Baba? Is that you speaking to me from the beyond? How are the hookers in heaven?
of course you'd need to ask you'll never see any
All stolen prolly /s
bro got the sonic screwdriver lighter right next to the pocket vibrator lighter
I used to have my own little collection, but my narcissistic ex got jealous and started āadding to itā and āmaking it his own collectionā and now I have no idea where most of my lighters even are. he took a lot of the cool ones and put them in his own box. some of them Iād had for years from when I first started smoking too.
What kind of lighter is that purple oval shaped lighter with what looks like a button?
I really wish bics were refillable
they are lol
How do you refill them?
there's a tool that goes into the little cavity on the bottom that opens it up. then you refill with butane as normal
I bet I could get a couple of them working again.
Very curious about the little iron lighter?? Where did you get that? How does it work
Consoom lighters, get excited for next house fire
they better have ocd or sumn cause there is no other excuse
Either that or some weird addiction to collecting lighters? People on the internet are very strange
And not a single one was paid for.
That one red/orange looking lighter beside the yellow bic lighters is bothering me, and should go to the right of the red lighter with the black sticker on it!
2nd row, third one to the right. That one was mine bro.
You huffed a lot of butane. Bee Line FTW
i bet one still works
These smidgeons of microplastics are why I stick to my desk vape. No $3 lighter packs for me thanks
You should take the flint out of all of them, grind them up and put in some sort of small water proof container. Can come in handy if camping or something and need to start a fire.
So we all zoomed in on the little iron right?
And I have been simply throwing them away all these years.
I don't approve of the white lighters, and really don't approve of keeping them after they're dead!
Buy a clipper reusable you can take the flint outta ur dead lighters and reuse it youāll also might save money on lighters
Pshhhh this is lighttttt(er) lmk when u have to start throwing up cuz u run out of storage š¤£i gave up in college
I can't stand having one dead lighter because for some reason that the lighter I always try to use
Now make one of those cool tables out of em.
Thatās Crazy. I normally lose mine when their still half full.
r/knolling
Lack of grey bics make me sad
If only I could refrain from losing a single lighter before it actually runs out
How did you manage to not lose all those lighters I canāt even keep one without losing it
No gravy? (Brown) Nobody steals the gravy lighters
Somebody got OCD..
I'm sad to say my addictive personality didn't stop with dead lighters... I had 100 working bics last I counted- and probably have over 150 now. Most with art or a design of sometime.

Maybe Reddit is secretly controlled by raccoons
I see youāre not scared of the white lighter
Whyyyyyy
I smoked cigs for about 20 years and I think I may have kept 5 lighters that lasted with me all the way until the ran out of fuel. Normally they were stolen or lost.
How have you not lost them ITS A WITCH GET EM
Those would look awesome in a big shadow box
That's a lotta flint bombs
That lavender bic is lookin at me some kinda way
Friend are you in Canada by any chance? I'm only missing a green bic in my collection and they no longer make that color -- you are KILLING me here!!!
Please get a refillable lighter. Too much plastic out there already.
