Cast Iron Skillet, take care of it and you will pass it down to your children.
Hopefully, a quiet oscillating fan for sleeping. I just don’t know which one yet.
Foldable bathtub
Ideal for smaller apartments that don’t have their own bathtub since it fits in the shower.
I bought one despite not really being a bather, but then I realized why I wasn’t into bathing. It’s because bathtubs you lie in kinda suck. Buoyenzy means that your feet and chest will always want to rise above the waterBut the foldable is more barrel shaped, like a Japanese bathtub. So your whole body save your head stays submerged. Who would have thought that the Japanese, a people with entire industries around bathing know a thing or two about good tub design
Ok I almost see the picture. Do you put a chair in or something or are you crouched? Even with boyuancy I feel like my knees would have a hard time with it. Also a little concerned with using something like that in a space that isint quite expected to have that much weight?
No chair, the buoyenzy perfectly cancles it out. Also, it doesn’t actually need tham much water. I usually only film it halfway foll and the mass of my own body fills it up the rest. So it only weighs as much as one very heavy guy
Do you have a good brand recommendation? Or something to look for? My wife always complains about how tub being too small and she is tiny compared to me. I can never fit
Bidet.
Yeah. I said it.
Can confirm. Lemmy suggested it. I got it. I hate going anywhere othet than at home.
Travel bidet. You’re welcome.

Hey, no judgement from my end Mr. Clean Cheeks.
LUXE Bidet NEO 185 Plus The hinges are great for cleaning.
That’s a Cadillac of bidets. I’ve got just standard ones on 2 different toilets in my house, and I didn’t pay more than $40 for either of them.
Suggestions?
This is not exactly like the one I’ve got, but it’s pretty similar.
It attaches to your existing toilet & seat.
Blackout curtains in combination with a sunlight alarm clock to fall asleep more easily and wake up gentler without my phone.
These are just frankly necessary if you live far enough north. When I’m going to sleep at 11pm ish, the sun is still up lmao.
Went to the arctic circle for the first time. It’s crazy how bright out it is at night.
This is 12:30AM just after midnight.What the-? How far up there are you?
I’m not op, but I’m 55° north… It’s 22:25 here and this is how light it is right now. In another 4 hours, it’ll be nearly full daylight again!
I’m 61°N, the sun barely sets in the summer. Today, sun rises at 3:51, sets at 23:14. It’s proper dark for maybe 2 hours
51° N. I’m also on the fourth floor of a building, so the horizon is farther away. I’m exaggerating a little bit. By “still up” I really mean it’s still bright enough out, twilighty, that it would affect my ability to sleep. Bedroom window also faces
eastwest, so, yeah it’s a combination of factors but still.It would matter more for your ability to fall asleep at night if your bedroom faces West. Do you mean it affects your ability to sleep in late?
Sorry I’m just dumb, I meant that it faces west lmao.
No, not at all! Just wanted to clarify if I was misunderstanding.
I feel you, I’ve got a streetlamp right outside my bedroom window! lol
I grew up 2 blocks from a train station that would start running routes every 10 min starting at 5:30 or so. Oh boy I can’t believe I slept through it as a kid, I wouldn’t be able to now without re-acclimating.
Toss on a cheap sound machine and it’s the best.
For me it’s a sleep mask, but I also understand that that misses the gentle wake up part. But I love that I can bring my sleep mask anywhere which you can’t do with curtains
A Game Genie
Or a game shark.
My partner bought me a SNES Game Genie for my birthday years ago and now I have all of the Game Genies!
I see what you did there.
LSD
where can I get it?
If you have any lake parks nearby look for someone that’s kinda hippie looking. Either that or just go to a rave, even outside of it, everyone there will know someone
Order online
This is the real answer haha, its very difficult to do it right to keep proper opsec but easy enough ocne you do it once but the legit markets for them have people with business-like conduct and its all very confidence inspiring with reviews and stealth packaging and everything.
I knew someone who died in high school because he got hunted down basically for selling or buying drugs or something to people in person, can only recommend fully private anonymous ways of doing illegal things.
Not to mention your money goes farther because its not as far down the supply chain.
thanks, I’ll check Amazon
Hang around a dive bar and look for people who work in kitchens.
That’s how you get coke
If they know where to get coke, they know where to get other stuff
Noise canceling headphones. Yes, they exist for under $100, maybe not the best, but they’re a godsend.
got a pair at Costco for 70$
didn’t know multiconection Bluetooth existed and they are a game changer as well. also noise cancelling is nice.
What brand did you get?
JBL Live 675NC
although I think the market is probably full of similar quality headphones at that price.
Thanks! I have a 14 hour flight coming up and I’m considering a pair as my earbuds hardly work over the engine noise.
those aren’t earbuds, they are over the head headphones
Oh yeah, what I was trying to say is that my earbuds are so bad on planes, that I want to upgrade to noise canceling headphones.
Bidet attachment for your toilet bowl. Trust me, you’ll never go back.
Agree, but splurge and get one that has a water heater. No one wants cold water sprayed there.
Eh. Cold water is fine. I’ve been using cold water for years.
Warm water is nicer, but cold water is fine.
Yeah mine was just 30 €. You never have to manually clean your ass ever again because the thing just does it for you!

Eyeing a rice cooker, it’s really not a need-to-have but I might go for it… Edit: went for it and got one from my local asia market. :)
Pro tip, you can also cook oatmeal and beans in it and it’s better then any other way.
Nice pro tip. Cooking Lentis probably too then.
sunglasses gif guy
You won’t regret it. They’re such a nice thing to have and there are totally decent ones for pretty cheap.
I have the one that Uncle Roger has that plays music when your rice is ready. I wish it was larger, but that is my only complaint.
I use an instant pot and it works really well. I use it for other things too but honestly rice is probably what it gets used for the most.
I have an instant pot as well, and used that for rice too. But it is nice to be able to have beans in the instant pot and rice in the rice cooker at the same time.
I have better results with my instant pot than any of the results I’ve gotten from the zojirushi. Plus the zojirushi takes 4-5 times as long.
My wife forbids me from getting any large appliances for any 1 thing, so I could never convince her to get a ride cooker. Instead we got an InstaPot that we use exclusively to cook rice. It’s way different (trust me)
There’s a “fast” option on most zojirushis. it should take about 1 hour if you select that. Source: I’m Asian
My mom dislikes instant pot rice and likes zojirushi rice. IDK what the difference is but she can tell. Shrug.
There’s definitely nuance to how you do it in the instant pot, depending on what kind of rice it is. Zojirushi is a little more hands-off, and fool-proof. I just never decide 2 hours in advance that I want rice with dinner.
More like 1 hour but yeah.
Quick mode ftw!
I love mine. Get a cheap analogue one that works with a magnet. Perfect rice every time
Yup, for rice cookers, the cheaper the better. Anything with a gasket ain’t worth the cleaning effort
Found a nice one for $90. On second thought I better check out the models at the local Asia Supermarket.
I’ve never actually used an expensive rice cooker, but the $15 one I got at [department store] works perfectly for me. This video sold me on the beautiful simplicity of it, and it’s my favorite kitchen instrument
Of course Technology Connections made a video about Rice Cookers!! Thanks for sharing, gonna watch it when I can.
Yup, that’s the type I meant above
His video also convinced me to get one
Nice one. Gonna check out the models at the Asia super market nearby. I mean rice is a staple in Asian kitchen!
Zorirushji is amazing! You should get it
Any basic ear plugs, literally $2 to make the world nicer, to sleep better in loud situations, to protect your hearing, to prevent infections in pools, and more.
You don’t realize how much nicer the world is when it’s like 15db quiter, especially when you are in a city.
My ears doesn’t like earplugs, or those old ear buds for listening to music, they just fall out. The new earbuds like apple & co works very well, are there ear plugs like that?
Must be your ear shape since Airpods Pros are the only earbuds that fall out of my ears.
Earplugs come in different sizes. Maybe it’s a matter of experimenting?
Nah, they all just pops out, I got slits instead of tubular openings 😅
Multitool. Can’t live without.
Recently bought a leatherman skeletool. It’s so compact and the perfect amount of utility for me. And it doubles as a fidget toy.
I’ve had one of these for probably 15 years now. Excellent tool.
Low-profile noise-cancelling earbuds. Lived with a snoring roommate for some months, don’t know how I would’ve slept without those.
CPAP for the roommate and sleep issues for both of you sorted.
If only I had the courage to tell my roommate
Example?
The nothing buds are pretty good and if I’m not wrong I got them under 50.
Seconded
A microwave sandwich griller. I saw one recommended on another of this type thread, so I gave it a try. You can’t believe how great this thing is. When I worked in an office, I had grilled sandwiches several times a week, and I still use it at home all the time.
Doesn’t look bad at all! Seems like a nice and space saving alternative to a dedicated sandwich maker.
Why is it $100?
It’s not. The post says $100 or less. This is definitely less.
Sorry, $100 aud, not freedom units. But that’s about 64 freedom units, which also seems crazily expensive.That’s Australian Amazon. In the US Amazon store it shows as $29.99. Even the normal list price before the discount is $36.99.
Shows 29.99 USD for me
You really should buy a bedbug proof mattress cover and interceptors for the legs of your bed and furniture. Trust me when I say that an ounce of prevention will save you a lot of trouble, cost, and emotional trauma. Even if it costs more, buy then anyway.
