Shitbowl: The algorithmically powered in-home physical caching platform

I prefer MyShitNow, a situationally-optimized just-in-time solution that combines privacy, speed, and unlimited upside potential. With MyShitNow, the world is yours. You're freed from inconvenient journeys back to base or anxieties about the security of inferior solutions like ShitBowl; the time between identification and fulfilment of your needs asymptotically approaches zero, allowing you to Keep Moving Forward (tm) without restriction. Don't pursue your goals - take immediate ownership of them and free yourself for an unlimited array of exciting new challenges. Our advanced Bioinformatic Classifier (R) seamlessly adjusts to accommodate your needs from moment to moment - and uniquely, does not require recalibration or adjustment for new tasks. We can confidently offer universal interoperability without foresight or prior configuration - even for things that have not been invented yet. That's right, as soon as you have identified something you need, no matter how unexpected or novel, simply deploy MyShitNow and you'll find it's already tailored to your circumstances. Incredible! You will never need another product. In fact, it's so great that you will never need any of your existing possessions ever again. MyShitNow will literally be the last buying decision you ever need to make.

How does it work? I'm glad you asked. It's simple! First, identify your need. It could be anything - a new phone, a electric vehicle, the keys to that penthouse you've always desired, a wad of unmarked high-denomination bills. Next, look around your environment until you have spotted something that matches your need. Then simply grab it and establish ownership of it by mentally tagging it as MyShitNow. It's yours! Use it for as long as you need. When you're done, simply discard it and forget about it - it's still yours, and if you want it later and it's not around, anything else may be freely substituted. From nutritious snack foods to entire solar systems, with MyShitNow the only barriers to ownership are imagination and desire. It's everything you've ever wanted, everything you will ever need in the future. Why wait? Just liquidize your existing obsolete assets and transfer them to us. You will immediately receive an unlimited, permanent, and irrevocable license to use MyShitNow to satisfy any and all future needs, conceivable or not. You can't say fairer than that. Unburden yourself of all that crap you currently own and seize the life you were meant to have. Today. Now. Limited time offer - if you don't take it, someone else will. What are you waiting for?

I have to say I’ve been using Shitbowl since it’s inception and I’ve never used such a powerful system before.

Up until now I relied on attempting to organize my own shit which lets be honest, was super shitty. Then comes Shitbowl. My wife and in-laws didn’t understand the technology at first but once I really got them to try it they were immediately onboard.

Thanks Shitbowl for making our lives better!

No. LRU is referring to eviction policy (which still isn't accurate since this bowl doesn't have a hole at the bottom).

(I guess I'm 'that guy' now :)

This reminded - I noticed a while ago that being a computer science guy makes me think differently about physical storage and retrieval.

For example - my wife likes "shorts" to be in one drawer and "t-shirts" in another. I like for one drawer to be "workout clothes" and have the mix of gym shorts and t-shirts. To me this feels "obviously" right because the use-case requires both items so why pay for two costly "open drawer" IOs?

Similarly, she is very organized with her paper files, I just throw mine into a box. In the rare event I need something (eg when doing taxes) I don't mind scanning through the whole mess. Seems like a better strategy than making each "write" costly (neatly organizing) since writes are frequent and reads are rare.

Anyone else like that?

Switching to higher quality socks that have whimsical patterns and are sold in pairs will definitely make for a better experience; matching socks is much easier when it’s a matter of “oh hey the other peacock sock finally showed up” than “these white socks I buy in bulk are actually made by different manufacturers for every batch and exhibit subtle distinctions that must be carefully examined”.
