5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Several things:

Bidet. ‘Nuff said.
automatic litter box. Took a lot of training for our one dumb cat but since then … life changing.
ebike. So many times I used to drive because I was feeling lazy or woke up just a smidge late… now I can just dial up the assist a notch and it’s no problem.

Be careful which ebike brands to trust. Avoid Rad Power Bikes. Even though the brand's American, its customer service and reliability's a complete joke. I had a lightly used Rad Runner who's battery died a little after a year of light use. Their warranty only covered up to a year and they said their only solution is to buy a new $600 battery that doesn't even come with a warranty itself.

Gazelle. Sold by my local bike shop which I trust.

Little pricy and all in all I’d prefer something more open than Bosch. But… so far so good.
