MODERATORS
Standing desk (electric, not crank operated) + tiny under-desk stationary bike. Sitting the whole day working/gaming and still getting to do some physical activity is great.
3D printer (I've got Prusa MK4+MMU3). It's an amazing versatile utility, great skill to have, and a fun hobby. Don't buy cheap chinese clones, it's not worth the hassle.
Air fryer
Although it's slower than deep frying, you don't need to babysit the food and can use the time to do something else. It also much easier to cleanup
A passport.
Filco Majestouch mechanical keyboard.
I code all day every day. I would burn through a cheap OEM keyboard in a year, and the keys would get stiff and cause massive hand strain.
$200 on one good keyboard. You're set for life.
E-Reader, I've put hours and hours into that thing and it's still going strong. Maybe I'll upgrade it at some point, but it's showing no signs of ageing yet. I love reading, but I don't have space for a huge library of books (believe me I wish I did).
Not to sound like one of those people, but a bidet. It hasn't eliminated my use of toilet paper, but certainly has reduced it, while leaving a squeaky clean feeling. I miss using it while away from home nowadays.
Other things are eye masks (I have sleep quality issues) and ereaders (never moving with ten boxes of books again).
Latex pillows
Silk / wool quilts
A touch bar bin by Simple Human - sounds ridiculous, but I love that thing every time I use it haha
Zojirushi flasks
An ergonomic mouse - after trying quite a few, the one by DTX is wonderful
Tom Bihn Cafe Bag - love a nice bag!
I read "Latex" LaTeX
Hands down a raspberry pi 4. It's a perfect example of why "maintain is more important than obtain" -- what is the point of buying something that I can't "really" use?
I’d add the Raspberry Pi 400 to the list. I’m using it as kind of a thin client in my garage and I actually really like the keyboard.
Electric toothbrush.
Invest in your teeth. Trust me.
This kraken like head massage thing for about 10 €.
All the super cheap < 15 € PC games which are endless fun (Minecraft, Vampire Survivors, Raft, Terraria, ...)
Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro kitchen knife 90 €, Navaris Iron pan 40 € and YumAsia rice cooker 115 €.
iPad Pro with Apple Pencil for drawing, watching shows, meetings on the go, taking notes, annotate eBooks, .... second hand ~700 €
If you like flower at home, you need a ball vape.
Recommend a ball vape to me?
A hat against the sun ( 30 € ). It makes me want to go out more because I feel so much better when the sun doesn't burn my head. I should have tried this earlier in my life. It is also better to have shade on my face through the hat than to wear sunglasses which make the colours look weird and were expensive because I needed a subscription.
A good kitchen knife and a sharpening stone (€80 knife / €15 stone). Makes cooking so much better.
A hand fan. ( 3 € ) At first it was strange to use one, because in Germany they don't use them like in Spain for example. It is light, fits in my pocket, I can use it anywhere, it does not need batteries and everyone who tries mine buys one afterwards.
