Lockpicks. One day the bathroom door somehow locked from the inside without anyone in there, and I really needed to pee. Really came in handy. ~~Turns out you could just use a flathead screwdriver, there wasn't an actual lock cylinder, but don't take this from me!~~

PC upgrades, I was labouring along with my 15yo desktop for too long, one day I thought it was time to treat myself, it runs so much cooler and with less wasted power.

I spent $3500, which I did not have at the time, to buy the vision pro. I really suffered trying to make up for spending so much money that I do not have. However, I knew it was a dumbass decision. But I still sent it because I know everything works out in the end. If I could go back in time, id buy it again. Between entertainment and my work flow I love using it. Though I primarily use it for work. As someone with severe and violent adhd it helps me stay focused very well

I'd been wanting to give sampling a shot for a while, so I bought an EP-1320 Medieval. It was a sizable adjustment from "traditional" music making, but I've been having a ton of fun!
Terraria, btd6(twice)
My robot vacuum. I have named him Lenny. As is tradition with all non real creatures.
My floors are now clean. And I don't need to sweep. As much. My days are changed.
3L glass of pickled cucumbers, an electric lantern, oversized terrycloth towel
No, I am not ready to take a picture of what you have in mind.
I got my tongue split on impulse about 8 years ago. Zero regrets, turns out it's very handy to have as a sideshow performer

I was shopping for a new vacuum cleaner when a saw a portable carpet cleaner. Basically a vacuum with a precision nozel bolted to a water sprayer. It has been a complete game danger for cleaning up the mess my cats would sometimes leave. Although it is still not as effective as the course of dewormer their vet prescribed.
I bought a collection of Dreamcast bits, Sonic Adventure and Powerstone (yes I know they're easy to pirate, but the β¨vibesβ¨) a while back on a whim without owning the console and now I've got a whole setup with a CRT. Living the retro dream(cast).
Random african bag for $3
Bought a pair of Rab Torque pants on my way to meet up with a buddy before a Roadtrip.
Thatβs around 5 years ago and those pants are still going strong after hours on the climbing wall, at crags, on the trail, an ice climbing trip, shoveling snow, on stroller walks etc. only real damage is a hole from snagging on a crampon thatβs since been fixed.
I like these pants.
A Les Paul Studio, and a good amp and cab ( H&K Grandmeister 40 paired with a Mesa 2x12). Went in the shop to buy new drum sticks for my son, walked out with about 4 grand worth of gear. Never regretted it. It's glorious!
Some shorts with my favourite number on them I got from Kmart for like twelve bucks. That was eight years or so ago, they still have my favourite number on them.
I don't really impulse buy...anything. Anticipation is a true pleasure, gotta milk that for all it's worth!
