Are there any household gadgets you found unexpectedly useful after you'd gotten them?

  • Sometimes its a gift. My bread maker was a gift, and it brings me a lot of value, but I prob won't pay for it.

    Other times it's something pushed on you for fun. My wife made me buy a thermostat gun and now I love it. I test it on the kids too for fun.

    I hate kitchen gadgets. Even toasters.

    But I like this!

  • My circle unfortunately calls it a Roomba, even if it's off brand.

    Kind of like how sometimes we call tissues Kleenex.

  • We don't.

    We're constantly on edge.

    Every single message I get from my kids school during the day, I hope it's not a dreaded "school shooting" warning.

    Even shit like taking my kids to the park, I have to look around to ensure it's fine. While parents look at me wondering if I'm safe or not.

    It's a shit show.

    • In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?

  • TURKEYS CAN FLY AND CAN LEAP INTO TREES AND I DID NOT KNOW THAT UNTIL LIVING NEAR A GROUP OF WILD TURKEYS

  • Went to Japan a few months ago. Deer and monkeys, yep.

    What blew me away is how it was done - literally living side by side with the animals. Walking next to a deer or being a foot away from the monkey gave me amazing respect for Japan.

    Where in the states, we either keep them in cages or fenced off, or we treat them like a nuance and if they come too close, respond with hostility (including the American Deer).

    • Louisiana moves to make abortion pills ‘controlled dangerous substances’

  • Why is Louisiana, a state who has to receive a lot of govt handout - thanks to the taxes of liberal states, so fucking backwards?!

    • It is very therapeutic to garden, though.

  • I ate a garden grown cucumber for the first time. I couldn't believe how refreshing it tastes!

    The supermarket version tastes like filler food.

    • Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them

    Jump

  • It blew me away when I met these people. These real "keep your head down" folks.

    When my company laid people off, and then did the shitty thing of rehire them back at a freelancing level, one gal cried tears of happiness that she was given another chance.

    I just dont understand it. Like going back to your abuser.

    If they're smart, they'll "work" for him while preparing to jump ship.

  • It also never happened to me.

    Or maybe it has happened to me a dozen times but I'd shout, "No way man! Drugs are for losers!" And hand him a DARE pamphlet and then I gained a reputation.
