Ask Lemmy

A while ago I was gifted a towel warmer, and it's just been collecting dust cuz for its intended purpose, it's worthless... like, it warms towels? the things hanging in the warm steamy bathroom? the humidity from the shower does that on its own...

Froze my ass off going from apartment to car a few weeks ago, it it clicked that we literally own a little clothes oven! So now when I wake up, first thing I do is turn it on and shove my coat and a beanie into that fucker, then by the time I'm ready to leave, my gear is like fresh-out-of-the-dryer toasty, so I put on my shell of pure heat, and I've got a little thermal bubble that follows me to my car. By the time it wears off, the car's heater is starting to kick in.

Mornings this winter have been a lot more comfortable that previous years!

My wife bought me a very expensive mechanical watch as a gift, which I myself would never even think of looking at in a shop. First I was like, what the hell am I supposed to do with that? I already have a smart watch!

But god damn it's growing on me.

1. Because it's such high quality it doesn't scratch and looks absolutely stunning even after wearing it constantly for month. Normally I put scratch resistant stickers on it and stuff but they scratch everywhere they touch anything. This one nothing at all.
2. And this is so huge to me and I never realized it, I never have to charge it, it just always works. It glows in the dark a bit because of the fluorescent clock hands too.

I kid you not, this is so amazing, every time I want to know the time it just works for months without charging and it looks beautiful.

Yeah, that's my luxury.

I recently quit drinking... so much. I allow myself one fancy Belgian beer each night

I sprung for a takeout burger from a nearby bar today. I’d been dreaming and obsessing about it for three days. $20 later…at least my obsession is cured! (It was pretty damn good though.)

Friday night, sourdough italian bread, camembert cheese, some pesto and a VERY expensive bottle of olive oil that I only use for this (I don't like wine and olive oil is my "wine").

Everything goes in a nice tray and I turn on some series or movie that I want to see, usually horror to mood it out.

The amazingness of being single!

I bought a dehumidifier last week and having clothes dry over one night is fantastic.

Food not from a food bank....

The fact that I'm not on a UHC plan.

Working 60 hours a week so your cats can have premium Dr Elsey Litter™, your kids can get Hot Wheels Ultimate Garages™ and Barbie Dreamhouses™ for Christmas, and so you never run out of Pampers™. And so you can get a premium comfort banana cleaner device for cheap. May your cats be happy, your kids scream as if they got a NINTENDO 64!!!!! Oh My GAWD!!!!!!!, your babies be dry and comfy, and your bananas be clean.

But to really answer the question, riding a $1000 e-scooter I bought for $600 and eating meals that cost between $30 and $60. And saving for future rent WHEN I fucking win a housing lottery. Thanks Amazon!

I love eating semi-expensive 12 month aged Manchego Cheese with Zapps Jalapeno chips, and super cheap Tecate beer. Feel free to substitute your cheep mexian beer and jalapeno chip brand to your taste but the cheese needs to be aged, good, and hard.

Coffee. The Internet told me it's going to get insanely expensive so I like to savor it while I can.

Getting new clothes, but they look good so its fine

Japanese Plum Sake/Wine. Recently discovered this and it's one of my favorite alcoholic drinks right now, it's so god damn good!

chill weather for sleeping. this year's summer is brutal.

Going to the gym to swim then sit in the sauna on cold winter evenings.

I really hate when I am in VR and the realization of how first world spoiled I am creeps in, even though I myself am living on the edge of poverty and using the VR to escape reality.

Custom music, crafted to my interests and tastes and sung specifically for me. Most of the music is never heard by another living being, it's completely mine.

A luxury that I wouldn't have predicted possible just two years ago, now anyone can have it.

Wine, vape, and diddy…? Who are you lol
