My dad's old coworker called me out on my bookmark hoarding habit

I was at a family dinner last week and my dad's friend Bob saw me scrolling through my bookmarks. He pointed out I had 47 tabs of random "how to fix a squeaky door" videos from 2019 still saved. He said why keep links to things you already fixed or forgot about? It hit me different because he was right, I keep bookmarks like they're sentimental photos instead of just clutter. Anybody else got a crazy amount of old bookmarks they can't bring themselves to delete?

My coworker Sarah has a folder of articles about better sleep habits from 2016 and she still hasn't read them. It's like we're all just collecting clues for a life we keep saying we'll start living next month.

My buddy Jim has a folder called "Read Later" from 2014 that's basically a digital graveyard at this point. Funny thing is, he moved his bookmarks to a new computer once (you know, thought he'd finally organize them) and just copied the whole mess over.
