You don't save classical art, do you? "They are art" does not justify your desire to keep saving them.


I save wallpapers simply because i like collecting things in general,OP.

I like to look through them sometimes, though I don't use all of them.

Plus its fun when someone posts in a thread, asking for something obscure. You remember that you have that somewhere. Oh yeah, I do have a minimalistic wallpaper with the kool-aid man and the big bad wolf! Yeah, the punchline is that you know what the big bad wolf wants the kool-aid man to do.

Im at 1.673 pictures. I avticated diashow, and random function. Im hanging out with many people, so its funny to see how they react to some of the pictures. They are all hand picked, and mostly they deliever some good topics to talk about, or some other nice impressions. So they totally have a purpose. I instantly start missing them, when theres just shit on my desktop like firefox.

>>6373619
Also: 10sec showing time. Very fast, have to take a quick watch, and youll mostly dont be able to see everything you want, cause most pictures are rather complex. But i love it this way.

Biggest hint in your life: You can personalize your wallpaper so they will automatically change after a period of time.

Why does a person hang a painting? They arnt going to look at it. The fact that you can say that you own a peice of art, a process of human cultural achievments is amazing. Civilizations influence on a artist can allow them to interprate the outside and inner world in more than a thousand ways. These reasons good sir are why I save papes of off a mongolian cartoon image board

I'm a long time /wg/ goer and I keep a hefty cycle of hand-picked papes on constant ten minute random rotation. It's nice to often see something you really like but haven't seen in a long time. Also, sometimes when I'm bored I kill time by hitting "next desktop background" repeatedly.

Pic related is my main cycle folder. Ignore the creation date, I frequently make backups and it affects that date.

I typically keep a page a day and move to the next one. I tried using the automatic version, but it doesn't agree with what I want. Also, some pages are dope enough that I don't want to change for a while.

I have over 50GBs of walls. Some are repeats, some are shitty quality, and some are not mine. I think personally I've collected over 20,000. The other 40,000 were from zip files.

As to why I collect them: When I get a large picture frame, I plan on having the background change every day. First scenes, then minimal, then naked bitches bent over. Bachelor, so I can do that

for me, i've taken into the hobby of collecting wallpapers. they're free, and they're nice to look at from time to time. plus, it's like framed artwork you put around your house. they tell what kind of person you are, and can sometimes act as conversational topics.
