What silly inconvinient stuff would you outlaw if you could? (lemmy.ml)

I'd outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don't have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

Plastic fasteners on socks. They are too short to use scrisors and often damage socks if you don't. Too many times I ended up with damaged brand new socks because getting them out od that plastic trap is too hard for me.

I always choose socks held by cardboard only if available.

I LOVE my Flush Cutters. I got them for vape stuff (making coils and cutting cotton) and now I use them for everything. I have four of them. I don’t know why.

As the joke goes, I got a free 3d printer with my purchase of flush cutters. Good stuff.

If you like tinkering, go for it! If you expect hassle free setup the first time, might want to look elsewhere. I’ve got mine dialed in so that I only need to wipe the bed clean with a cotton pad and some rubbing alcohol. Took a while and some upgrades, though. ;)
