It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever
Tv, The internet, the smallpox vaccine
Bluetooth earbuds. Took me the longest time to buy a pair. Now I have them all the time.
I thought airpods/cordless buds were stupid when they first came out, I thought I would instantly lose the buds. now I can’t live without them.
Sammmme. I was so against having to charge headphones to listen to them. No idea they would last as long as they did on one charge and my god do they perform well.
The Nintendo Switch when it came out. I was super hyped and somehow the console even exceeded my expectations.
Playing Breath of the Wild for the first time was amazing and even after 6 years the console still feels modern to me.
The concept feels modern, but I wish they made a second Gen model of the joycons by now.
Or a second gen model of the Switch. I was really hoping they’d announce something at the direct today but nope!
Yeah it’s about time for that haha, I’d guess we’re still 2 years out or so. I think Covid still has a lot of stuff on delay for a year or three past when one might expect.
Yep, every time someone mentions how long it’s been out, it surprises me again. It still ‘Nintendo’s brand new console’ to me.
I feel you. The PS3 is still “last generation” to me and a Core 2 Duo still feels like a powerful new processor.
E-bikes.
I got a couple of electric scooters for me and my gf to fuck around on. Ended up selling my car.
How hard are you finding it? My wife and I tried fucking around on our car once but there wasn’t enough room. How are y’all achieving it on a scooter? Any tips you can share?
I personally would really recommend an ebike if you want to have adequate utility to partially replace a car.
The other person might have something up their sleeve, and idk what sort of neighborhoods either of you live in, but I feel like with a scooter you’re stuck to a backpack.
Ebike you can outfit with baskets, bags, and even a trailer depending on what you’re doing. The ride will be more comfortable in a seated position, and it is more safe, since you can’t front-over from a pothole or something.
MRNA vaccines. Not only have they saved millions of lives from COVID, they look like they are going to revolutionize other areas as well. For example, there is a wide-range cancer vaccine under development.
More recent one, but tears of the kingdom is really the game I wanted it to be. Game of the year, maybe of the decade :D
Vaccines. My uncle had Polio as a child and so my Grandmother was still advocating strongly for vaccines before her death at 98. I’m happy to have received my first Shingrix shot last week. It’s amazing we can get a poke, with something that’s completely gone from the body in a week but we will have T-cells protecting us for a very long time.
The Steam Deck. Awesome, awesome device.
can’t remember the last time i was this happy with a purchase
Minecraft. Still super fun and there are servers for literally everyone (from pure vanilla to factions to semi-anarchy and anarchy)
The film BOOGIE NIGHTS.
Milk.
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- The Harry Potter books and films
The Wire. It really is the greatest TV show ever made like people say it is.
LeBron. He came out of HS as the “chosen one” and dominated the NBA most of his career. He could have easily have crumbled under the pressure and instead ended up being a top 3 all time player.
Super random but getting laser hair removal. As cursed lady I maybe shave like once a month maximum now as opposed to twice a week. Yes it’s cheaper to shave but my vision is horrible even with glasses (and I can’t wear my glasses in the shower) so shaving is difficult… now I hardly have to think about it!
Everyone also talks about lasik for eyes being the best thing they’ve ever done. I would totally do it if it didn’t totally freak me out and rely on me lying still and not blinking.
Lasers are cool.
