I got drunk and bought a t-shirt on eBay.

It featured a rainbow unicorn with the text “HAIL SATAN”.

A rubber egg. Sold at an odds-and-ends booth at a teaching fair, this egg looks like a real, brown-shelled chicken egg. More than once I’ve dropped this “egg” in front of people while cooking.

Girlfriend broke up with me so I proceeded to buy a $900 motor scooter (fast mo-ped). My best friend also wrecked it and bent the front wheel after owning it for approximately 30 minutes. It did not bring all the girls to the yard but it was fun!

I bought an electronic whiteboard for like 10k

It arrived without a stand (it had a stand in the photo, but the small print said it was sold separately).

I’ve bought some weapons strictly because they were in games/movies I like.

I bought a really nice 4k high 200hz gaming monitor right when I started falling out of love with gaming. I don’t want to sell it because I still hop on to game with the buds about once a week.

I bought a hand made squirrel shaped water pitcher at a ren fest. It was like $200. Pretty sure it’s one of a kind and you won’t be able to Google what it looks like.

Not from my own experience but something most of us witnessed was Musk‘s proposal to buy Twitter. It will never not be funny how drastically he overspent there, then tried to walk back from it but was ultimately ordered to buy it for his offer.

Some people with bad memory or a broken moral compass will claim he destroyed the platform or turned it into something evil but as we know that wasn‘t the case. Because it was already awful long before that. Remember the never ending headlines of „Trump tweeted“ between 2015 and 2021? Well now you do.

Xitter was always shit but at least more and more people are talking about it now. And that purchase was definitely the most batshit insane impulse buy I have ever witnessed.

I bought a turd shaped stress squeeze toy at Dollarama in Quebec for C$2 or C$3

I wondered what the most tacky Che Guevara merch would be, and decided it was his face on a beanie.

My buddy had a manic episode and bought an above ground pool because our friends’ parents were out of town for a week when we were teenagers

Safes aren’t just for theft prevention. Indeed the small ones probably don’t do anything in that regard ,but many are fireproof as well, so you can keep documents safe if your house burns down.

I’ve made way too many impulse purchases but off the top of my head I can’t think of one that’s “funny”.

I went over to my old boss’s house one time and saw a car under a cover. He explained that it was a custom ultralight racer built off the chassis to a 1967 Lotus Europa. I was blown away and said that I hadn’t realized he was a car guy.

He laughed and said “I’m not. Don’t go on ebay drunk.”

Depends on the type of safe. There are safes that protect primarily against theft, and those, that are better against fire. Use the latter to store your documents. Or your backups.

Better safe than sorry.
