    Shoutouts to @[email protected] BUY BIDET NOW. Obligatory comment about wiping shit off your hands with dry paper goes here. Wash your ass. I have two bidets BTW and I use Arch Linux BTW.

    Wall mounted soda can crusher. Recycling space saver.

    Powered water fountain for cats. They instinctually prefer running water.

    I bought the Swiss Army Knife of memory foam pillows that has sections on both ends for side sleeping, a dent in the middle with a neck support sticking out the bottom for support while stomach sleeping, and it works for sleeping on my back too. I don’t really have a discernable favorite position, so I love the multifunction pillows.

      Any recommended brands/models for the pillow? I’ve never heard of such a thing, but it sounds incredible.

        Just the one since the time between buying this one and the previous is too many years to be relavant anymore.

        Right now it’s the Cervical Pillow by HOMCA that I recommend 'cuz that’s what I got and I like it? Haha.

        They look like this:

    A power bank is pretty useful to keep yourself tethered to the internet (via your phone)

    Or you can puncture it and throw it at a cop and 🔋💥 and you end up with bullet holes in you like a swiss cheese, pretty life changing I’d say

    (For legal purposes, that was a joke, calm the fuck down FBI 👀)

    A good knife sharpener. For 100 USD you can get very good ones, but even a 10 USD/EUR one can make a huge difference.

    I found a great one and bought multiple of THESE, it is truly amazing. The suction cup design is genius.

    Been obsessed with Galaxy Tab A9 recently which is around 75-100$. You can root it and turn it into a lot of general purpose devices for automation or just an e-reader. The only problem is battery so you need a plug for it full time if used in automation environment.

      I rather have a foldable. You can find a nice Samsung that’s a couple generations old for around $400. Once you get used to having a tablet in your pocket everywhere you go, there’s no turning back. Having a large portable screen is especially useful for games and restaurant menus.

    If you’re like me and either don’t have enough space or don’t like moving a normal computer mouse around, a good trackball mouse is probably gonna be real good.

    I originally got a cheap enough ergonomic wireless Logitech one from walmart for my then new laptop I got for college. Then, just maybe a month or two ago, I got an ergonomic one from Elecom to replace my standard mouse because it was having some click problems and scroll wheel issues. The only problem I have with either is how the ball on the Elecom one doesn’t always move super smooth and I can’t be as precise as I can with the Logitech one.

    A good multitool or Swiss Army Knife.

    Mine was gifted to me a few years ago but it’s come in handy more times than I can count. Use it at least three times a week.

      I have a tiny, bladeless (so okay with TSA for flying) “pliers”-style multitool that fits on my keychain. I don’t think that the manufacturer makes it any more. Searching for “keychain multitool” will turn up various designs on Amazon.

      I also have a separate tiny folding knife — I think a Spyderco Bug, though any tiny knife is gonna be equivalent, and I’m sure that there are more-reasonably-priced tiny knives out there — that fits on my keychain that I take off when I fly.

      For infrequently-used tools, those are large enough to be fine for most things, and it’s less of a pain for me to haul around than a full-sized multitool or knife (which I have, in the past, carried).

      I don’t know if I’d say that it’s a game-changer for me, but it is convenient to always have said tools at hand.

      Leatherman has the warranty you need. Fantastic products with basically a lifetime warranty on any damage.

    I got my robot vacuum with lidar for $60. Not typical, but still possible to grab a refurbished unit.

    As someone who was chronically constipated: A year’s supply of psyllium husks.

    As someone who was overweight, depressed and had severe back pain, a yoga mat.

    Electric screwdriver. Have used mine so much over the years it was well worth the £35 I paid. It won’t do what an impact driver does, but the same can be said the other way around too.

    You could also get some running shoes, shorts an T and become a runner.
