This reminds me of some random Reddit post that says it makes sense to throw things on the floor. The floor is the biggest shelf in the room.


> Reddit post that says it makes sense to throw things on the floor

Floor as storage, floor as transport and floor as aesthetic space are three incompatible views of the same of object. The latter two being complementary usually outweighs the first, however.


Let me introduce you to the great american artform: the automobile. Storage, transport, and aesthetic, all in one!


Even more: house and sporting gear!

Never was there a more compelling argument to tidy up.


Ha! right; don't overload the metaphysics!


And that comment reminded me of a New Zealand Sky TV advert that I haven't seen in decades, but still lives on as a meme between a number of friends. Thanks for that :)
