An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

What Expensive Version Did You Try and Now You Never Wanted to Go Back to the Cheap Thing?

shoes. though not technically expensive because i buy them used (they are expensive when bought new).
cheap shoes will hurt your feet, are easily damaged, and not repairable. the cheapest shoes i had lasted 2 weeks. leather ones can last years with proper care and resole.

bamboo socks. they have better odor resistance than cotton ones.

getting sick of my cheap earphones, on the hunt for a php500-1000 corded earphone.

Do you buy your Bamboo Socks online? Can you point me where?

Darn Tough wool socks. I have 8 pairs and they'll literally last me a lifetime. If they wear out I can go get them replaced.

smell-wise, theyre incomparable. mine got holes after 2 years. good longevity when my other socks' elasticity are gone after a few months of use.

doesn't Darn Tough have lifetime warranty or something?
