What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?

  • can we get some more deets on what you use it for in terms of terrain/altitude/distance/weather?

    Seriously considering an ebike to replace a 20 minute car commute (12 miles). There are some 750w used bikes on my local craigslist for ~1-2k USD, but there's also a super cool dual-motor bike with rear suspension for $3k. Any advice?

    Upper Right: Laughing Men In Suits (And Then I Said meme)

    Bottom Left: Fennec F-Droid app icon; Privacy Badger logo; UBlock Origin logo; Decentraleyes logo.
    Bottom Right: "Afraid to loose money stock photo": Stock photo of middle-aged white male on couch holding three US hundred dollar bills with a mildly frightened facial expression.

    edit: also thanks to the peeps who identified the logos so I didn't have to reverse image search every single one of them

  • Reddit sucks. Let's make our own reddit with blackjack and hookers.

    Result: there are now 15 competing reddit knockoffs. Each one is small and lonely.

    Solution: let the reddit knockoffs talk to each other. This solves the problem of a fractured userbase. This was always reddit's strength: disparate communities united, on the same site. This size and diversity meant there was a high likelihood of someone who knows what they're talking about or someone with a unique perspective stumbling across the post and chiming in.

    By understanding the motivation, hopefully the concept of "Federation" makes more sense.
