I like it in Surry Hills, putting your old cathode ray TV or that dumb toaster that is supposed to be special for crumpets but only ends up heating the bread no better than if you put a lighter on it, out on the street with a post-it note saying “it works”, and it’s gone. Simplicity and perfection.
In Germany it seems you leave it on a park bench and someone comes along and takes it. I observed this several weeks ago but mistook it for people drying their clothes. So social experiment 11 was undertaken. I left out some socks (never worn), a pair of Timberland thongs (they were as hard as rocks) ( I put a swear word in here but apparently swearing is verboten) and a T-shirt that says “Cougar Bait” (it was $1, again don’t judge, it was a grabby frenzy), some canned broccoli and some kind of computer.
I then built a hutch out of twigs to watch and wait as the natives foraged. 10 minutes later guess which went first. Yes, the socks, everybody needs and loves socks.
Next to go was the Broccoli in can, who knew there was such a thing, and that it had such a cache (look it up). NB to all, German does not = rich. 68 minutes later the “Cougar Bait” T-shirt was snared, that only left the computer.
I was bored by then so I left.
