As someone that works from home and eats a lot of sandwiches; a bread maker. Great for pizza dough too!
Oh damn, I hadn’t thought about this but that’s not a bad idea. My mom used to have one when I was a teenager and would make this potato bread that I friggin’ loved. She always said it was dead simple, maybe it’s time to look into that myself.
Does it work with gluten-free flour?
A microwave sandwich griller. I saw one recommended on another of this type thread, so I gave it a try. You can’t believe how great this thing is. When I worked in an office, I had grilled sandwiches several times a week, and I still use it at home all the time.
One of those flip boards for folding shirts, especially if you’re adhd, it makes it so you can neatly fold them and still see the front of the shirt so no more unfolding a bunch of things to check if it’s what you want and then just get left there unfolded
Birth control
Bidet attachment for your toilet bowl. Trust me, you’ll never go back.
Blackout curtains in combination with a sunlight alarm clock to fall asleep more easily and wake up gentler without my phone.
These are just frankly necessary if you live far enough north. When I’m going to sleep at 11pm ish, the sun is still up lmao.
Went to the arctic circle for the first time. It’s crazy how bright out it is at night.
This is 12:30AM just after midnight.I feel you, I’ve got a streetlamp right outside my bedroom window! lol
I grew up 2 blocks from a train station that would start running routes every 10 min starting at 5:30 or so. Oh boy I can’t believe I slept through it as a kid, I wouldn’t be able to now without re-acclimating.
What the-? How far up there are you?
I’m not op, but I’m 55° north… It’s 22:25 here and this is how light it is right now. In another 4 hours, it’ll be nearly full daylight again!
- Bidet
- Hand barbells + weights
- Inexpensive watch like a casio f-91w, or a cheaper smart one. Turning off all phone sound notifs is nice.
- Used e-reader
- Heated blanket
- One of those water bottles with a straw and a smart lid
Noise canceling headphones. Yes, they exist for under $100, maybe not the best, but they’re a godsend.
Multitool. Can’t live without.
Recently bought a leatherman skeletool. It’s so compact and the perfect amount of utility for me. And it doubles as a fidget toy.
Eyeing a rice cooker, it’s really not a need-to-have but I might go for it… Edit: went for it and got one from my local asia market. :)
You won’t regret it. They’re such a nice thing to have and there are totally decent ones for pretty cheap.
I have the one that Uncle Roger has that plays music when your rice is ready. I wish it was larger, but that is my only complaint.
I use an instant pot and it works really well. I use it for other things too but honestly rice is probably what it gets used for the most.
I have an instant pot as well, and used that for rice too. But it is nice to be able to have beans in the instant pot and rice in the rice cooker at the same time.
If you have a microwave, there’s microwave rice cookers aswell.
I have better results with my instant pot than any of the results I’ve gotten from the zojirushi. Plus the zojirushi takes 4-5 times as long.
My mom dislikes instant pot rice and likes zojirushi rice. IDK what the difference is but she can tell. Shrug.
There’s definitely nuance to how you do it in the instant pot, depending on what kind of rice it is. Zojirushi is a little more hands-off, and fool-proof. I just never decide 2 hours in advance that I want rice with dinner.
More like 1 hour but yeah.
a high quality pocket knife. never leave home without one.
What game are you changing exactly with this?
It’s very convenient when you forgot lunch money.
This is illegal in France :(
Just guillotines
cop: are you carrying anything sir?
me: no sir, I keep it all PG
cop: alright, you have a good day now
me smirking and taking out my Pocket Guillotine
