I have a hundred chokers for my fashion, and I cycle them every single day.

Currently, They are all stored in their original plastic sleeves.

This means my routine is as follows.

  • Pick up pile of sleeves
  • Select a choker by shuffling through the sleeves like they are cards.
  • unpack choker
  • place choker on for the day
  • remove choker
  • put choker back in sleeve
  • place sleeve back in pile

I find the task of sleeve management to be frustrating. And would rather have them all organized in such a way so that I may be able to view them, and choose them out as warranted.

What do you say is the best way to store them? (Product, Idea to make, anything)

Edit 1: A limitations I have is that I cannot install anything permanently to the apartment. ๐Ÿ˜–

Maybe sell half.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

You could get one of those drying rack things with all the hooks/clips, put them all on that, then spin it and grab one at random

As I have sworn to upholed the constitution of the USA & NYS, I am unable to partake in illegal activities such as owning a giraffe.

Someone else has already commented about giraffe plushies though.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Can we see some of the collection please?

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Sounds like you'd benefit from one of those large keyrings.

They open up at a single point, so in the morning you can see which one you want, move the entire circle of chokers around so that one is next to the opening, open it up, and grab the choker.

Also, no installation to the walls.

[โ€“] [email protected] 73 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Are the chokers somewhat adjustable to fit different size necks? Do you have any dislike or fear of giraffes? If yes and no, you might look into getting some giraffe dolls that are firm enough to basically wear and display the chokers and ease your selection.

You could even slightly decorate the giraffes to help in sorting them, supposing the wearing of chokers wasn't enough for your tastes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago

Oo, This is smart! They'd also fit into my plushie collection!

Okay, I'm interested...

...dolls

Oh.

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can see a dragon also fitting the requirement for people that suffer from giraffophobia.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, and the toys sold at bad-dragon.com are plenty firm

[โ€“] RBWells 4 points 1 day ago

I love the idea of storing them on giant dildos.

[โ€“] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Step One: acquire one-hundred human necks using hatchet and/or hacksaw

I'm sick right now and I read this as I have 100 chickens how do I store them.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

100 chickens, how do I choke them all?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought it said chonkers and I thought they were asking some theoretical intellectual question about 100 obese cats

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

That is also how I originally read it.

My initial thoughts were, how this one achieve this crazy expensive feat.

Feeding 100 cats until they are all obese, along with housing and vet bills...

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Hopefully you feel better soon!


Personally the best way to store 100 chickens is to let them be free in a field!

[โ€“] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe something like this?

1000005077

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ooo, This is super effective! I'll see the costs and more.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

If you're a sewer, you can probably convert some fabric and a cloths hanger into something similar.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But 100 clothespins. Glue them to the back of your closet door.

Edit: example

Sadly I max out emotionally at two girlfriends, three if I have the extra energy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

What you need is a metal rod suspended by magnets. You can put all the chokers on it like hoops on a pole. Then you can just take from one end and put back at the other. Or sort through them I suppose.

[โ€“] Mostly_Gristle 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe you need something like a motorized tie rack.

You could hammer 100 little tack/nails into a board and hang them vertically. They'd be a lot longer vertically then they are wide, so you could do like 25 across x 4 down. You could maybe even still keep the plastic sleeves on them.

Or find a big donut shaped pillow, with the same diameter as a neck, and put all them on it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

The handy-person answer.

Assuming that my chokers are maybe 30 cm long with the chain, 2 cm spacing per choker, 25 chokers per row, 2 cm gap between choker vertical space.

Dimensions would be 126 cm tall and 50 cm wide.

Manageable, would need to find a place for it.


Plushies are being considered!

maybe just a rope/chain, put them in that and then just make it little and to the drawer

idk if I explained myself

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A rod of some kind - like a shower rod - that you can hang them all over and easily peruse them.

If they can be attached to each other end to end you can spool them around a stick loosely and remove from one end and add to the other, like a 100 element FIFO buffer.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I like this thinking, but it falls into the trap that I then would have a very tricky time getting an element in the middle of the buffer.

[โ€“] 200ok 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What about taking numbered pictures of them and categorizing them like in a library?

So you can browse the photos and find them based on what sleeve number you've assigned it to.

You can get hangers for the closet that hang down. Either with pockets or bars or maybe even hooks. Just have to hang the thing in the closet.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My closet has sliding doors, do those even work with them? ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

[โ€“] BreadOven 1 points 3 hours ago

The ones I was thinking just clip on to the same thing your hangers do. I'm blanking on the name, but that horizontal bar in your closet.
