    Bidet attachments for your toilet are about $30 and you can install it yourself with zero skills in 30 minutes.

    Wouldn’t you pay $30 to never have to wipe shit again? Just dry off and that’s it. Greatest thing imaginable.

      I know it's ignorant, but all I can imagine when using a bidet for the first time is shooting my corn hole with a jet of cold water, not knowing how clean it is back there, and using a towel to dry off only to find watered down shit on the towel.

        You can get ones with heated water and warm air drying capability (they are more than $30 though)

        I was reluctant to get a bidet because I couldn't hook it up to a warm water line, and was pleasantly surprised when I realized buttholes really aren't that temperature sensitive. Even in the dead of winter, cold well water shot straight up the butthole doesn't feel cold or shocking at all. Probably impossible to believe unless you try it yourself.

        Also, don't be a monster and dry your butthole with a towel. Just use a little bit of toilet paper so if you're still dirty, it's okay. It's not like your whole rear-end gets soaked, it's a very thin steam of water that targets just your butthole, with maybe a tiny bit of spray on the surrounding area

        It's only surprising or strange the first time. If you aren't acutely aware of how the water of a shower hits your skin every time you shower, then you won't notice the bidet more than the first or second time.

    Vertical mice. I had occasional wrist pain from using a computer, which was annoying since then I'd had to take a break from the computer for about a day to recover. Got a vertical mouse and haven't had any issues since. Took maybe a day to get used to it too.

      Likewise trackballs. Took me all of a day to get used to using a thumb ball (Logitech MX Ergo), my wrist pain cleared right up and I haven't looked back.

      Yeah, they're not great for twitch gaming, but on the flip side it's highly amusing to watch people's brains crash when they try to push it around like a mouse.

      A vertical mouse saved me from carpal tunnel syndrome. A few years ago I started developing wrist and elbow pain in my mouse arm along with the numbness. It was getting so bad I would take frequent breaks to ice my wrist and would wear a brace at night. I started looking for ergonomic mice and decided to try out a $15 Anker one from Amazon. I felt relief the day I started using it and within a few days the symptoms were gone entirely.

        Hey I think I got that same one, at least it was also was $15 and from Anker. Some of the outer plastic is rubbing off though so I've been looking for a new one. Unfortunate not many companies make good quality vertical mice - the only one I've seen that seems well built is the logitech mx vertical.

      I resorted to using my left hand to control the mouse at work, then revert to my right hand at home

        I have been a left hand mouser at work for probably 15-20 years.

        An early data entry job made my right wrist prone to soreness from mouse use. I am very much right handed, but left hand mousing 90% of the time feels totally natural now. If I’m at going using the mouse on the right, it’s usually for photo editing or PC games.

    Honestly USB C adapters. If you EDC a portable power bank it's worth looking into a USB C to micro and thunderbolt adapter. It's a lot easier than carrying around multiple cords and an easy way to help out friends and coworkers.

    I think I got mine for a few dollars on Ali Express

    It wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea, but purely from a "not enough of even their target audience knows about it," I'd have to say the CharaChorder One.

    CharaChorder makes chorded input keyboards to increase typing speeds (chorded input is when you press a couple of keys simultaneously, and it autofills a whole word mapped to that key combo - great for long-but-common words).

    The CharaChorder One version (as opposed to CharaChorder Lite) actually has a completely different format, and almost resembles an arcade machine's controls if every finger on each hand gets one or two joysticks to control. This obviously nets it a steep learning curve, which is probably a major reason it hasn't picked up steam, but it's great for normal issues like carpral tunnel, or accessibility issues where you have limited hand movement. It also has an ambidextrous mode where you can set all the normal keys to one side of the keyboard, which is, again, great for accessibility, but also if you want to have your free hand on a mouse or... something..... else.......

      that is so cool! I'd love to try typing with it. I doubt I would want to commit to it though.

        Wax sticks to the top layer of your skin, so when the hair is ripped away, so it the top membrane layer. This leaves you more susceptible to infection, also, it fucking hurts. Sugar just sticks to your hair and leaves skin intact.

        Wax uses paper strips, so much more waste. You use the same sugar for the whole appointment, no paper is used.

        Wax uses a higher heat point to work, which is why so many people get burns when waxed. Sugar uses a much cooler heat point, so it won't burn you.

        I just don't see any pros to waxing over sugaring. Some people claim sugaring lasts longer, but if it does, it's not enough of a noticeable difference, imo.

          Your esthetician should be dusting your skin with powder so that it doesn't take any skin off at all

            When I'm not struggling to stay awake tomorrow I'll put to rest all the anti-wax myths OP just perpetuated, but sugaring is far more risky than waxing. If they they have good enough results sugaring themselves then that is great, but coming from someone in business, sugaring is a growing trend that is hurting people in their most sensitive areas. I'd be open to an AMA on the subject of aesthetics and hair removal as well because the amount of myth surrounding it is super high. There's a reason people see professionals.

    Bicycles

    I'm not proposing nobody knows about bicycles or anything but it's sort of odd how often I come across some type of [scenario perfect for bicycle] post that asks whatever they should do

      Good point. During lockdown in Australia, everyone went absolutely nuts buying bikes. While I don't watch free to air tv, even Foxtel shows ads, and there's obviously all the advertising online you're exposed to - and I don't recall seeing any actual advertising for bikes. Weird.
