I created modern art (by accident)

everything is made of trash

A table with a pan on it, in which is a loaf of bread
a carbord sign stands in front of it
On it is written "Mittwoch Containert, bedient euch" which means "dumpster dived on wednesday, help yourselves" in German
Behind the bread on the table are candles made out of vine bottles

Einfach spontan noch ne pfanne containert, zwei frische Salate, ein Brot, frische Heidelbeeren
Nur 5 Minuten suchen

Pfanne mit Salaten, Heidelbeeren, nem Brot und ein Stück Pappe

I found a 1968 book by Jørgen Nash today, with a dedication from the author inscribed. A beautiful little situationist piece of art from his work at Drakabygget . Jørgen Nash was of course the guy who decapitated the little mermaid statue

Dear fediverse,

what is the best resource of do's and dont's for setting up a #repaircafe ?

I guess not what I do with my own repairs : 40 boxes with half broken stuff from other people, waiting to find that single crucial part, schematic, or plans to fix it with a 3d printed part (to be designed and printed), actually converting my place in a #dumpsterdive without divers.

Neither desoldering all weird parts because weird parts are difficult to get...

#electronics #ewaste (...)

Walked past the trash and saw this poor guy poking out the top of the bin - dove it out without even thinking. Maybe I should have not thought even more and rummaged deeper for the controllers, because after finding some display and power cables, it worked perfectly - meet my first PS1!

I separated a #DumpsterDive yoghurt into liquid and solid. The solid is going next to the dal as a dip and the liquid is becoming a #brine for some cauliflower, mixed with some #kimchijuice for a weird little #fermentation

How scared should I be of dumpstered meat? I only take meat that is intact plastic, but what if it has been standing in the store on a wrong shelf or too warm for too long..?

#DumpsterDive

Tonight I'm cooking 3,5 kg of Osso Buco, and that is just the meat part! Dutch oven in the oven, big pot on the stove - it's a meat Bonanza! Most of my house mates are Vegetarian, so I'm inviting the neighbours over to come and help with the eating. I had no wine, so the brine is from, Aqua faba, lactoferments and the leftover vinegar brine from some pickled cucumbers. #yummy

Did you know that you can also #DumpsterDive from _inside_ the supermarkets?

Well, here is my dumpster-find Craftsman sander after about 15-20 minutes of very quick and superficial clean up. It's working fine now, and I adjusted the belt. There is still more cleaning to do, and lots of exposed metal would benefit from a dunk in Evap-o-rust or other corrosion cleanup. But it's working fine. I'll visit the hardware store and pick up a new sanding belt and some disks. Then I'll square everything up, and actually try it out!

Biggest dumpster find I've had in a LONG time. Went to the Habitat Store today, and didn't find anything. But drove through their alley and found this sitting in some junk by the dumpster. It was rusty, and I knew it didn't work if they were throwing it, but these things are simple, and I thought "I might be able to fix it." Plugged it in and sure enough, the motor is turning a bit and stalling, meaning SOMETHING is stuck. 99% sure whatever it is, I can fix. Yay!

I have seen one too many memes about how the blame for climate change is entirely on corporations posted by people who *choose* to buy fast fashion, drive, or eat animals, despite having easy access to other options.

#meme #climateChange #capitalism #anticapitalist #solarpunk #consumerism #anticonsumerism #boycott #buyUsed #dumpsterDive #goVegan

An all-caps Impact font meme with a picture of a ponting hand behind it. Text: "Climate change is all the fault of corporations." Motherfucker, who buys from the corporations?

#cryptidshitposting,

a text screenshot reads "yah sorry", "i cannot read or type. i do not know how i am on the internet. please return me to my trash can."

A fancy cat tree left on the sidewalk in NYC sits across from a public space on 49th street, midtown.

@d6 #Funfact: Before the local recyclers got cameras, I literally knew people that did #DumpsterDive - #PC #Builds that would put #BudgetBuilds, #LowSpecGamer & #ScrapyardWars to shame...
