Bidet. Get a toilet seat bidet. You have poop particles on your butt. No toilet paper is 100% efficient. The bidet will pay for itself in 6 months.
I look down my nose at all of the people with poopy butts. Buncha animals.

You misspelled “the very first time you use it.” 😁
Can you recommend any particular model?
I got the Cadillac at the start of pandemic. Biobidet BB-600. It’s like the nice Japanese ones. My parents have a manually operated one that lets you set your pressure and nozzle positions. Mine has buttons for all of that.
In general I don’t support buying cheap shit on Amazon, but I’ve bought $100 bidets and I’ve bought $20 ones, and they all do the same thing - spray water on your butt. I had one model that had a hot water input, but my plumbing could never warm up the water in time. So cheap, cold water bidets for me.
No toilet paper at all? So with what do you pat down your wet, dripping butt? I still use toilet paper, I’m just cleaner after for having bideted first
Mine has an air dryer. It blows your hole.
My god, how much further can science go from here? I’m in awe
Zero much further. We’re at peak butt cleaning until someone invents an anal wormhole.
I look forward to the further advancements on the hole
RAM.
Rule of a happy life: always have as much RAM as you can barely afford.
Fresh produce.
We have a few different grocery stores to choose from, stop and shop is the closest. But we mostly don’t go there because their produce simply sucks. The selection is poor and all too often things look wilted already sitting on the shelf, and worst when you get the produce home, despite appearing ripe it’ll be largely flavorless.
High quality produce makes such a big difference in the food we eat, we’re willing to drive a lot further to get it.
A mattress. You spend about a third of your life on one.
never is a strong word.
But my vote goes to bicycle tires (if you ride a bicycle at all regularly, doesn’t matter if for sport or commuting).
They’re probably the one thing that affects how your bike rides the most.
Either make it noticably faster, or more comfy, or completely solve the issue of getting flats, or let you ride where you couldn’t before, like off road, through sand, or on ice.
And even really good racing tires are cheap compared to what other upgrades on your bike cost.I’ve always heard it said to never skimp on the things that come between you and the ground. Shoes, mattresses, tires, chairs, etc. Gravity is an unforgiving mistress and it has ways of subtly wearing down your body and your equipment if you don’t protect against it well enough.
A good power supply by a well-known brand instead of the cheapest. Because if it blows up, all other PC components are in danger of breaking and this can result in data loss.
and this can result in data loss.
And computer loss.
And house loss.
I’m just going to seed my post by saying that I told myself many years ago that it’s never a waste of money to buy a book. Some of the weird shit on my bookshelf could definitely stand to counter this, but I still believe it’s true
Anything that brings you actual joy. $60 fancy Japanese food on Uber eats is worth it.
Agree and disagree. Things that bring joy are worth it (as long as it can be afforded). However, I never think food delivery are worth it unless its a group order or someone is physically or mentally unable to pick up their food. Its much cheaper to pick it up yourself. Also, these food delivery services are absolute vultures and take too much of restaurant cut. If you want to support your local eats just go to them directly.
There’s also the issue of temperature. Not really in terms of safety but just enjoyment.
Food that’s supposed to be hot or cold (think a hot pancake breakfast or cold ice cream) is going to come to you as if it were sitting out on the table when you arrived at the restaurant, or in the case of ice cream will be a soupy mess that’s no longer ice cold.
And the cherry on top of it all is that you paid close to double for this horrid experience.
Sometimes, part of the joy of ordering delivery is sitting on my fatass and having food magically appear in front of me.
I am aware of the price increase, but thats the price of being lazy.
Activities with people you are close to. The older i get, the more “stuff” i accumulate. I don’t ask for more stuff as gifts. I don’t need more stuff. However I have an infinite amount of space for memories of things I did with friends.
Books. I always need more.
Paperback or ebooks? I’ve grown to think most paperback books aren’t worth the money.
I still prefer paperback books, even if I’m struggling to find more space at home for them.
Preference aside, because I agree with you, they’re a waste of money and space and natural resources if you only read them once or twice.
I don’t feel that way about reference manuals or books you use to look things up in, though.
Again, to be clear, I prefer handling books. I have many shelves of them. But… It’s illogical these days.
Yes, you’re right. I bought a Kindle but haven’t used it much as I am still going through my book backlog.
As they say: you will own nothing, rent everything, and like it.
I pirate my books or use the public library program to check ebooks out.
Spending a little extra money on a more expensive brand of something you really like can be worth it.
It’s often not worth it to do the “right thing” and save money by buyinh a generic or off-brand item you’ll end up not being happy with. Assuming you can afford the cost, the disappointment of eating off-brand cereal that tastes like paper, factory-farmed eggs, or wearing discount clothes that are cheap and look bad or have an odd fit just isn’t worth it.
A good smartphone with unlimited data
Toilet paper that doesn’t exfoliate your pucker hole with a single wipe. I pay a little bit extra to not feel like I’m pooping in a construction site portable
You should seriously consider a bidet. The only thing my toilet paper is good for now is cleaning up whatever the water didn’t get. My rolls last so much longer now since I sometimes don’t even need to use it.
Probably toilet paper.
Safety gear. When I hike:
- whistle
- emergency beacon
- road flare
- fire starter
- pistol, sometimes an extra mag
- spare cold-weather clothes
- first aid kit
- walkie talkie
- food
- compass
- space blanket and regular blanket
- plastic poncho
On the water is a little different, but you get the idea. And yes, loaded with beer it’s a 19lb. bag. Good exercise though and it fits and rides like a dream. I’m not really aware it’s on.
Don’t forget your bear banger!
LOL, we only have wussy black bears. There’s coyotes around but I hear they’re shy as well.
You just need to butter them up a bit
