A pi zero w. Need a wireless Android Auto adapter? Flash the right image. Need a Klipper controller for a 3D printer, flash the right image. Need to add a wireless thumb drive to any device that you can drop files to over the network? Flash the right image and run a few commands. They are very cheap and insanely versatile. I originally got a handful for $5 each and am still finding uses for them.

Its amazing for both tasks related and unrelated to playing with my cat

A small dry erase white board for grocery lists on my refrigerator.
I keep an extremely small 64GB USB-A/USB-C flash drive on my Keychain so I can move files between phones, phone to computer, or load movies and TV shows from a computer or phone and plug into a TV to play.
It’s only $10 and sometimes it’s very convenient to always have on hand the ability to move files around without the use of a network or the cloud or whatever. The size of it is extremely small.
Verbatim 64GB Store ‘n’ Go Dual OTG USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive for USB-C Devices – 2 in 1 Type C Thumb Drive https://a.co/d/40uW3fE
So simple to siphon off stuff from the phone like photos to back up! And load it full with films.
It’s crazy how everything is so locked in.
This is good.
Also, though it’s more than $10, but my phone battery has gone to shit lately (f u Google for your shit pixels), and my anker mini power bank is carrying me right now: https://a.co/d/5lmsCiI
My wife has a different style by them and it has served her very well for two years.
Uhh, dildo.
You need to step your dildo game up if you’re still using the $20 ones.
Why. What does it get you?
I’ve got some nicer ones, but I’d really like that Lovense machine to boof my clacker.

I’m a native English speaker and I still had to Google three words in that sentence.
To be fair, one is a brand and the other two just sound right.
Yeah I hear you, my partner and I have been pricing them for awhile but haven’t bitten the bullet and gotten one yet.
We just started in on the Bad Dragons so a machine is probably still a little ways off but it’s definitely on the wish list!
Bad Dragon just seems too big.
Maybe you can get better quality ones for that price if you go second hand?
I’d love a second hand. Maybe a third
You can get a wax seal kit for that much. I have a whole set now, but I seal absolutely everything. All you need is a candle, a wax melting spoon, a seal, and sealing wax
And someone to write to. That might actually be the most important component.
DYMO Embossing Label Maker
They’re like $9 on Amazon and I label everything. I have 2 myself, and they’re also my go-to for white-elephant parties.
Once I went on leave and the fella who filled in for me got a few complaints that he was slow. He said it was because I hadn’t labelled my store room properly. I added a few dymo labels around the place. The next time I went on leave he got a few more complaints and gave the same explanation, so I added a few more. After the third time I left the room looking like this picture and he shut up.
I guess I should rephrase.
I label a lot of boxes and spice containers but nothing unhinged lol
manual pull string food processor.
I love chopping up food with it. It’s very fun and works perfectly.
immersion blender honorable mention.
I have a salad spinner like that; use it all the time.
Nice. I’ve only seen salad spinners with those inconvenient handles on the top that I don’t like to use, so I’m glad to hear they’re using the pull ring finally.
Do you mean like…those gyroscopes you’d spin up using twine?
i’m not sure what you mean.
I’m talking about one of these manual food processors:

the one I have is a little more ergonomic with a ring on top.
Get into locksport!
Check your state/local laws before buying anything, not legal to own lockpicks everywhere.
Haha haha your country never ceases to amaze me. AR-15? Sure. Concealed gun. No worries. Squibbly piece of metal with a handle. HOLD IT RIGHT THERE
RIGHT!? I’d love to learn lockpicking but just being found to have them is liable to get me arrested in Ohio
We got constitutional carry in Ohio. Just practice shooting the locks off.
I’m curious where you are not allowed to own bent metal scrape whatever the intent. Iran or NK?
I wish there was a place for people to send random locks they break off or find to newbies like me. Buying a lock just to pick it feels insane, but I also want to feel that delicious click out of 1
Get a practice lock that you can re-pin. They’re cool so you can see what it’s like to have spools or serrated pins. I messed with one for a while and then was like “I wonder how much harder it would be to pick my front door lock instead of this cheap practice lock?” Turns out, the front door lock is ridiculously easy compared to a practice lock.
Go to those love-bridges where tourists buy and attach padlocks on it…
Sadly they cleared the only one near me, before I knew about it or I’d have dumpster dived it
You can check local locksmiths. Some might be willing to sell cheap junk locks that are still good for picking. Or buy a core that can be repinned.
I was outside a tiny locksmith store the other day and considered it! Social anxiety won the battle that day though. I’ll try!
Maybe look for a habitat for humanity ReStore?
We don’t have those here, but charity shops are a good idea thanks
21 dollars shipping ._.
Mantric Rechargeable Remote Control Knicker Vibrator I got on sale for 50% off. I’m not super into the whole public thing, but I’ve been using it way more than my magic wand, that fucking tip is shaped perfectly. Plus it would make an excellent phaser prop.

Set to stun.
Not really what I was looking for but okay…
Hey, you opened the door! 🤣
So does this gadget
It at least rings the doorbell
Thanks for the laugh both of you.
I want to see an image of this but I don’t want it in my search history
Dang it, 4 replies down and I’m horny already
Yeah, I can see that, but it’s like $70. Yes, I looked.
Seems some if not all of the big online adult stores run frequent promotions, be that for “get a free X with purchase”, buy one get one or just flat “40% off one item” so wait for the right promotion and jump on it.
Oh I’ll jump on it ;)
I can’t not see this now
The old Pier 1 Imports back scratchers. They use to sell for 75¢.
I’ve 3D printed A LOT of similarly shaped scratchers and give them away randomly to people - they are wonderful to have. I even have some in my car and at my office lol. I slapped my name on them in the Slicer software so people remember where they got it!
My dad had a bunch of these when I was a kid. Super durable and great as back scratchers or just a stick to play with. I bought a few after finding them online and love having them.
I got some that were nicely finished bamboo but they didn’t have enough of a sharp edge at the business end to really give a good scratch like the ones from my youth. Fortunately that was easily rectified with a couple seconds on a belt sander.
Ha! I have one of these sitting next to me on my desk. It’s multi-function, as it works great for reaching up and opening and closing my curtains too.
Victorinox Nail Clippers:

I would contend Harperton are comparable quality and somewhat less expensive
The page says two functions, what’s the second one?
(and to all smart-asses out there: what’s the first one?)
I’m a smart-ass. It cuts nails.
I’m guessing the 2nd “function” is the lanyard hole.
Open and close? Fingernails and toenails?
"Tools
Lanyard hole"
Wow. Only desperate marketing would call that a function.
I’ve been looking for a decent pair of nail clippers for ages. Just ordered, thanks!
USB hand warmers. I am very sensitive to the cold and its so nice to hold while walking around or keeping in your pockets
Thanks for the suggestion!
I got a set of these for my dad, he absolutely loves em
A nice pepper grinder! Makes every meal better
My pepper grinder was $35, got it from a woodworker at a local farmers market, definitely worth it.
Nice salt is great too!
Kosher salt ftw, I have a little dish with a lid, looks great on the counter but is also super functional
I resisted, but now I’m a believer in Maldon salt.
For salt I just grabbed a small diner style salt shaker, it’s really cute and makes it easy to control portions
