Damn, wtf, cardboard is actually a cheap and decent thermal insulator.

Verbal crutches.  The one I hear often is:  " ... I mean ... " and I wince when I find myself using it accidentally.

If you're writing you're meaning something.

Verbal crutches.  Not writing crutches.

Here in the Pac Northwest, America, you'll hear people saying " ... (pause) I mean (pause) ... " all the time peppered into their conversations. Often the word 'mean' is stretched out.  " ... I meeeeeeeeeean ... "  It's just a crutch.  Prior to this another verbal crutch was :  "... I know, right?"  You'd hear it everywhere.

In another locality, east coast, people use four-letter-words as crutches.  It's regional, and it's conformity.

So you think homeless people use cardboard because they saw another homeless person do it, and function + abundance of material has no influence?

Probably a mix a both- guess I’ll need to interview some homeless people to find out
