Sleep mask
Got a link?
As someone that works from home and eats a lot of sandwiches; a bread maker. Great for pizza dough too!
Oh damn, I hadn’t thought about this but that’s not a bad idea. My mom used to have one when I was a teenager and would make this potato bread that I friggin’ loved. She always said it was dead simple, maybe it’s time to look into that myself.
Does it work with gluten-free flour?
Yes they even have a gluten free mode on newer models.
😮
I was gonna say an OLED monitor but then i saw the 100$ or less
There are other kinds of monitors that come pretty close, but definitely not for under $100. For example, the Nebula display on some Asus laptops, or the Nixeus NX-EDG34S (which is no longer available, but I assume there are equally good monitors available using the same tech).
A Time Timer.
They’re not cheap, especially for a timer that’s bare bones (~20 USD).
But it has changed my work life.
- People who want to interrupt me while I’m working can now see how long until I have my next break. So I am interrupted less.
- Now I self-regulate a bit better, so I’m able to work longer without destroying myself in the process. I take breaks that help me with repetitive strain injuries and with feeling like I’m a human being and not just a machine.
- Now I remember to actually start timers when I start working. I know this is a bit silly, but I was having trouble creating a habit of stopping for breaks. I tried to solve this by setting timers on my phone, but I constantly forgot doing it. Now I’m reminded to start a timer by something that I see on my desk.
Why is it the wrong way (going counter clockwise)?
Ah. To set up the timer, you do pull the hand counter clockwise, as if you were pulling a spring-loaded car backwards for it to move forward on its own. After you release the Time Timer, its hand will move forward on its own, normally, clockwise.
It is a bit unusual, but the point of the timer is to see how much time you’ve got left. It’s like a battery charge percentage. You know that when the battery reaches zero, you’ve got to charge it up again.
I hope the explanation helps. If not, feel free to ask or to check out the videos in the Time Timer website. After all, it is a strange product.
Lol thank you but I do know how a wind up clock works 😁, I have just never seen one going “backwards”.
Here’s one on my stove:
Maybe it’s a European/ US difference?
Ah that makes sense. Maybe it’s a European/US difference, but it could be just a Time Timer thing. My air fryer is from an American company and it has the same timer as you (wind it up clockwise, then the hand moves counter-clockwise).
I wonder if both types of timers (wind up clockwise and wind up counter-clockwise) seek to distinguish themselves from normal clocks in different ways:
- Wind up clockwise timers (like your stove and my airfryer) let you know it’s not a normal clock by flowing counter-clockwise.
- Clockwise timers (like a Time Timer) let you know it’s not a normal clock by having a red disk slowly become smaller.
Visual timers are a dyscalculia and time-blindness game changer! I don’t like Time Timer being “backwards” but the (often cheaper) alternative brands offer plenty more options! My Secura brand timer goes the opposite direction and I prefer it.
Nice onel, thanks for sharing! This is something I can improve on aswell, as a desk worker. Furthermore because taking eyes of the monitor screen regulary is supposed to reduce eye strain! I got this timer for my desk and workouts at home.
Noise canceling headphones. Yes, they exist for under $100, maybe not the best, but they’re a godsend.
got a pair at Costco for 70$
didn’t know multiconection Bluetooth existed and they are a game changer as well. also noise cancelling is nice.
What brand did you get?
JBL Live 675NC
although I think the market is probably full of similar quality headphones at that price.
Thanks! I have a 14 hour flight coming up and I’m considering a pair as my earbuds hardly work over the engine noise.
those aren’t earbuds, they are over the head headphones
Oh yeah, what I was trying to say is that my earbuds are so bad on planes, that I want to upgrade to noise canceling headphones.

House slippers.
I have house Crocs, does that count?
LSD
where can I get it?
Order online
thanks, I’ll check Amazon
This is the real answer haha, its very difficult to do it right to keep proper opsec but easy enough ocne you do it once but the legit markets for them have people with business-like conduct and its all very confidence inspiring with reviews and stealth packaging and everything.
I knew someone who died in high school because he got hunted down basically for selling or buying drugs or something to people in person, can only recommend fully private anonymous ways of doing illegal things.
Not to mention your money goes farther because its not as far down the supply chain.
If you have any lake parks nearby look for someone that’s kinda hippie looking. Either that or just go to a rave, even outside of it, everyone there will know someone
Hang around a dive bar and look for people who work in kitchens.
That’s how you get coke
If they know where to get coke, they know where to get other stuff
Multitool. Can’t live without.
Recently bought a leatherman skeletool. It’s so compact and the perfect amount of utility for me. And it doubles as a fidget toy.
I’ve had one of these for probably 15 years now. Excellent tool.
- Bidet
- Hand barbells + weights
- Inexpensive watch like a casio f-91w, or a cheaper smart one. Turning off all phone sound notifs is nice.
- Used e-reader
- Heated blanket
- One of those water bottles with a straw and a smart lid
It’s amazing how life changing a $35 bidet is
Every time I go to a bidet-less house, and see that they’re going as unwashed as a 5th century peasant
Low-profile noise-cancelling earbuds. Lived with a snoring roommate for some months, don’t know how I would’ve slept without those.
Example?
The nothing buds are pretty good and if I’m not wrong I got them under 50.
Seconded
CPAP for the roommate and sleep issues for both of you sorted.
If only I had the courage to tell my roommate
Blackout curtains in combination with a sunlight alarm clock to fall asleep more easily and wake up gentler without my phone.
Toss on a cheap sound machine and it’s the best.
For me it’s a sleep mask, but I also understand that that misses the gentle wake up part. But I love that I can bring my sleep mask anywhere which you can’t do with curtains
These are just frankly necessary if you live far enough north. When I’m going to sleep at 11pm ish, the sun is still up lmao.
I feel you, I’ve got a streetlamp right outside my bedroom window! lol
I grew up 2 blocks from a train station that would start running routes every 10 min starting at 5:30 or so. Oh boy I can’t believe I slept through it as a kid, I wouldn’t be able to now without re-acclimating.
What the-? How far up there are you?
I’m 61°N, the sun barely sets in the summer. Today, sun rises at 3:51, sets at 23:14. It’s proper dark for maybe 2 hours
I’m not op, but I’m 55° north… It’s 22:25 here and this is how light it is right now. In another 4 hours, it’ll be nearly full daylight again!
51° N. I’m also on the fourth floor of a building, so the horizon is farther away. I’m exaggerating a little bit. By “still up” I really mean it’s still bright enough out, twilighty, that it would affect my ability to sleep. Bedroom window also faces
eastwest, so, yeah it’s a combination of factors but still.It would matter more for your ability to fall asleep at night if your bedroom faces West. Do you mean it affects your ability to sleep in late?
Sorry I’m just dumb, I meant that it faces west lmao.
No, not at all! Just wanted to clarify if I was misunderstanding.
Went to the arctic circle for the first time. It’s crazy how bright out it is at night.
This is 12:30AM just after midnight.
Any basic ear plugs, literally $2 to make the world nicer, to sleep better in loud situations, to protect your hearing, to prevent infections in pools, and more.
You don’t realize how much nicer the world is when it’s like 15db quiter, especially when you are in a city.
My ears doesn’t like earplugs, or those old ear buds for listening to music, they just fall out. The new earbuds like apple & co works very well, are there ear plugs like that?
Earplugs come in different sizes. Maybe it’s a matter of experimenting?
Nah, they all just pops out, I got slits instead of tubular openings 😅
Must be your ear shape since Airpods Pros are the only earbuds that fall out of my ears.
Bidet.
Yeah. I said it.
LUXE Bidet NEO 185 Plus The hinges are great for cleaning.
Can confirm. Lemmy suggested it. I got it. I hate going anywhere othet than at home.
Travel bidet. You’re welcome.
That’s a Cadillac of bidets. I’ve got just standard ones on 2 different toilets in my house, and I didn’t pay more than $40 for either of them.
Suggestions?
This is not exactly like the one I’ve got, but it’s pretty similar.
It attaches to your existing toilet & seat.
Bidet gang represent
Hey, no judgement from my end Mr. Clean Cheeks.
A microwave sandwich griller. I saw one recommended on another of this type thread, so I gave it a try. You can’t believe how great this thing is. When I worked in an office, I had grilled sandwiches several times a week, and I still use it at home all the time.
Why is it $100?
It’s not. The post says $100 or less. This is definitely less.
Sorry, $100 aud, not freedom units. But that’s about 64 freedom units, which also seems crazily expensive.Shows 29.99 USD for me
That’s Australian Amazon. In the US Amazon store it shows as $29.99. Even the normal list price before the discount is $36.99.
Doesn’t look bad at all! Seems like a nice and space saving alternative to a dedicated sandwich maker.
