    My grandfather had similar collections. Of anything potentially useful.

    I don’t believe in his case it was primarily due to neurodivergence but rather a depression-era childhood.

    Could he afford a weed whacker? Yes, but he made one from an old vacuum, even in the 80s/90s. And so on.

    Their lives started in poverty and they killed Nazis and we dishonour them horribly when they are barely cold. Especially America who is going to inflict both on everyone again.
