What are some of the best purchases of your life? (self.asklemmy)

For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. Books ($0 @ library)
    • "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
    • "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
    • "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
  5. PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

Bidet, don't poop like a neanderthal

The problem comes when you're so used to having an immaculate arse then need to use a public toilet and then need to walk around feeling unclean.

Nothing worse than having to smear shit all over your bumhole instead of the blissful freshness that only proper washing can provide.

Carry some wipes. They come individually wrapped. Might not be as good, but it's certainly better than nothing, and they have about a million uses other than wiping your butt.

I just keep some wet wipes with me so I can stay squeaky clean everywhere I go. Bidet is the way

That first day out after covid

When I did a poo in a bidet they threw me out :(

How does the cleaning work? There is a water stream towards your ass and that’s all?

It's not a shower
