Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

What's an expensive purchase you've made recently and was it worth it? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I bought an Ember Mug, and while it was expensive the quality of life it has given me has actually been worth it. Always having your coffee at the right temperature even after sipping it slowly over the course of an hour is such an upgrade over re-heating it every 15 minutes it's actually wild.

I got my wife one of those for an Xmas present a couple of years ago. She balked when she found out how much it was. But less than a week later she said she'd die before giving it up.

I think James Hoffman said it best in one of his videos:

"It's expensive, it's ridiculous... and I hate myself for how much I love it"

You know, thinking about it, it was probably that video that convinced me to get her one.
