A few years ago my friend's father passed away. My friend's mother continued to live in the house for another year or so. She never worked and had to eventually sell the house and downsize.
My friend had referred to her mother as a hoarder before. I've seen the reality TV shows about hoarders. But you don't really understand just how bad the problem is until you spend several days helping your friend clean out their childhood home for sale, filling up several dumpster bags worth of... Stuff. Apparently the mother has always had some mental health problems and a shopping addiction, but spending over a year alone in that house drove her off the deep end.
We could have opened an entire new Harbor Freight store. There were clothes in sizes I didn't know existed. My wife casually found a pistol just shoved in a random box. It was madness.
Now these are my kind of ads 🤩
Jumping on the "don't use flushable wipes" bandwagon. Seriously, they can screw your home's plumbing up.
For anyone doubting this is even possible for a product that is mass-marketed and available everywhere, look back a little over a decade. For a hot minute we had scrubs and soaps that had tiny little plastic beads in suspension to provide some grit. All those microbeads got flushed down the drain and wound up who knows where. That is until it was made illegal.
bio-dome is fucking tite.
I don't care about hoverboards, but a great side effect of their mass production is that you can get a pretty decent brushless motor now for very cheap. I also saw a video about a hack you can do to make it run better at higher RPMs. You can get one of those hoverboard motors for like $30 on ebay and pair it with a $25 ODrive clone from aliexpress. Its good for probably 10 nm of torque at 36v 10a.
I read(yelled) this entirely in Lewis Black's voice.
Thanks now i want a beef and cheddar I reslly miss arby's
I read this in AVGN's voice.
The apple watch one is stupid, almost everyone I've talked to that owns an apple watch bought it because it's one of the best in terms of collecting metadata and stats regarding your heath:
- blood oxygen level
- heart rate monitoring and notifications
- irregular rhythm notifications (like atrial fibrillation)
- can capture an ECG in combination with monitor alert/notifs or any time you want
- fall detection
I could go on and on. The apple watch was a GAME CHANGER for my elderly grandmother as well as my own damn self as heart problems run in my family history.
but go ahead, apple bad and thus anything apple is also terrible and anyone that owns one is an asshole

Correct take on Bio-Dome though tbh.
Arby’s. We try to have the meats.
I would get a smart watch tbh, I like the idea.
I have Dude Wipes in my car but that's just because I thought they smelled good and they were on sale at Kroger. I have a very dirty and dusty job and some days I gotta wipe the gruel off after a shift.
Arby's can be pretty good if you get stuff other than their regular roast beef. I like their reubens, gyros, and jamocha shakes.
That said, they're definitely not as good as they used to be. I miss their sliced roast chicken sandwiches, both the normal one that came with tomato and shredded lettuce and mayo, but more particularly the "triple cheese and bacon" roast chicken sandwich that they had like 20 years ago with sliced swiss, cheddar sauce, and parmesan spread.
my dad gets the dude wipes, but I get Arby's so apparently I can't judge.
“I’m poor” in so many words
Real shit
I buy dude wipes. They're less expensive than regular wipes.
@Maven Also all the “As Seen on TV” stuff that’s just hanging around by the checkout aisle.
