Which gadget makes your life better?
For me, it’s a bidet toilet seat. I bought one that didn’t really fit as well as I hoped, so now I am shopping for a v2 based on experience. I don’t want to live without one going forward. That’s for sure.
A multitool or swiss army knife: I recommend a Leatherman or Victorinox fit to whatever your daily needs are.
Personally, I swear by my Leatherman Skeletool CX in my pocket and a Victorinox Midnight Manager on my keychain.
Agreed, although for me it’s the Leatherman Micra, small enough for keychain and has a chunky pair of scissors instead of pliers as the main tool. I find the standard scissors on most pen knives or multi tools are always secondary and often flimsy but the ones on the Micra are great.
And I seem to use scissors waaay more than a knife, much easier for cutting tags off things, cutting an opening in a bag of coffee, cutting string in two, cutting tape…
recently got my old psp fixed up, it’s made my family’s near constant outings significantly more bearable. tried emulating it a while back on my phone but it just didn’t feel right using touch.
Should try a razer kishi or Gamesir controllers that attach to your phone. I have the Gamesir V2 Pro and is a good bit of kit.
I still have my PSP and Vita. They really are amazing portable emulation devices.
Dry herb vape: I mainly use it with cannabis and for me it gives clearer effects,better taste, use wayy less material (I can use 0.05-0.1g per bowl, which is enough for me for a whole night), more control of the high when wanted (different temperatures gives different results basically). More easy and discrete to operate on the go, and not bond to smoke a whole j if I decide to get high (last two depends on the device though) and also gave me a fun hobby.
If you want to buy one, fell free to ask for advice at [email protected] and be aware as some devices at regular shops are health hazard (looking at you, Gpen)
I tried one, but the water comes out cold, even when connected to the hot line. No can do’s-ville.
How cold is the water in your pipes?? It should be as cold as the water out of your sink…
I assume you meant to reply to the bidet comment. I assure you, you get used to it. Frankly it feels like my days don’t truly start until I get a blast of cold water up the ass.
The good ones have built in heaters.
Not really a gadget but tools in my car, countless times people or even I’ve needed them and because I carry them around with me in my car it’s been a life saver and a small electric drill to make it easier instead of using a rachet or screw driver
A set of water pump wrenches. I’ve used them for all kinds of purposes that aren’t water pumps. They grip most things and allow a lotta torque.
A Samsung T5 1TB SSD. Has allowed me to comfortably have what I need all the time as I work and study.
Harmony remote control. Even controls my air conditioner.
Garlic press is my second choice. 😎
+1 on the bidet. Got one during the great TP shortages of the pandemic 😄 Now I despise going to the bathroom anywhere but home. Unclean! Uncleaaaaan!
My Victorinox SAK (model Tinker Deluxe) it just comes in handy so often and I’m glad I’ve got it around.

Obvious answer: computers.
I wish we got a bidet but my family decided against it. x_x
I got 2 bidets from tushy. Super easy to install and now I despise shitting away from home. I’m so much more clean using water instead of a piece of (toilet) paper.
If you want to try to convince your family then look up that Pulp Fiction scene when Samuel L Jackson explains that if a piece of shit was on your (face) cheek then you’d probably want something more than a piece of paper to clean it up. He obviously explains it better.
Or just buy it and install it without them. They don’t have to use it and your booty will thank you.
Bidet attachments are like $50–100 on amazon, installable with very little know-how, and your family is under no obligation to use it.
My cordless drill. I didn’t think I’d need one because I never did a lot of things that required me to drill or screw things together. But now that I have it I can’t go back. I’ve found so many uses. I’d definitely recommend getting a nice driver bit set with one, if you ever put together furniture from a store like Ikea, a nice hex bit makes it go so much faster.
To add to this, there’s nice multi function ones. I have the Black and Decker Matrix drill (cordless and corded) with several attachments. I don’t do a ton of maintenance nor professional projects and it’s been a huge life (and storage) saver. Super convenient.

A pocket knife. Carried one for most of my life at this point.
Also an all metal pen. I always have a writing utensil with me that rugged enough to last years in my pocket.
See you over at c/EDC
How does a pocket knife make your life better?
Opening boxes, cutting zip ties, picking stuff from under my fingernails, splinters, etc. All kinds of uses.
Not necessarily better but safer I suppose. I’ve been thinking of getting one aswell.
Oh yes, then I agree. I too hide a well made box cutter in my travel bag and car at all times.
My Aeropress. Great quality, espresso-adjacent coffee quickly and easily in the morning.
Love my aeropress, really changed how I make/enjoy coffee

@justhach I could have picked Aeropress as well. After too much of it, though, the bidet comes in handy once again!
