Most autistic thing you've purchased lately - c'mon feel the cringe

[bifftango]

What the fuck is it made of? Whether it's autistic depends on that, I think.

I'm going to assume it's made from human skin and teeth.

My guess is hidden pocket belt +$280 in cash.

If I had to guess it'd be hand-tooled leather with a silver buckle set.

On the autistic scale 1 is a real animal leather belt, 10 is a kamen rider belt. Full disclosure I own a 300 dollar kamen rider belt but I got it on clearance for 70

Can't edit my post for some reason, idk.

It's a USSR-made leather weightlifting belt from 1979. Basically the holy grail of belts in the sport - who knows who it was used by. A nice piece of commie sporting history, and of course I'm going to use it myself.

Wouldn't normally spend so hard on something like this, but it's in extremely good condition, EXACTLY my size, and the markings and date stamp are very clear. I'm okay with being the custodian of this history for a while.

I got a $100 Dick's Sporting Goods gift card from my uncle and when I went to look around they had a big 75-90% off sale bin out of which I was able to dig out 2 ball caps, 3 pairs of nice socks, 4 North Face and Patagonia t-shirts, and a pair of Nike basketball shorts for sleeping in. Left with $12 still on the gift card. Shit was cash.

Absolute normalfaggery. Socks and shoes. My brother in Christ I just bought 4 different shades of brown calligraphy ink and Hercules beetle larvae.

I bought some sticks.

Cobes?

They're heat treated for parasites and have an anchor so they can be fixed on the inside of my rat cage.

Ah so not cobes, you can do this yourself in a oven, just heat it to as high as you can get it spray the outside of the sticks with a sanitiser like Surgical Alcohol, let it flash off put it in tinfoil and leave for a hour or so.

Singing bowls are excruciating. Pure torture. It's like being stabbed in the eardrum with a razor sharp knitting needle. They're worse than chalk boards.

I raise you steel drums... those things are hell.

I know a guy who deals with surplus military stuff and he's got a Soviet Space program treadmill, it's hard to explain but it's not powered it's essentially a belt on some rollers allowing you move it with your off step but you can increase or lower the difficulty with a spring belt tensionor, they didn't make many of them and where prty much exclusively made for the old soviet space programme, but it's kinda cool to see that sort of thing knowing what was available in the west to civilians in the same era.

I've got a Blacksmiths forge blower made in 1963, made in the USSR not as an emergency supply or reserve bit of kid it was for the Horse an Donkey trains they still used as the backbone of there non rail supply network (an still do to an extent) mine arrived in it's original factory cosmoline an sat at the bottom of a old mine used as a stock pile until 2019.

Ok I can get.ink and that probably means you have a fountain pen collection (use eBay, modern stuff from Europe is ridiculously overpriced) but the beetles..... Do go on.

Oh my God shoes/boots and watches 2 of my 3 favorite things.

Bought a Swiss watch for over a 1500 dollars by manufacture Certina. After my previous watch broke down after 5 year of service,

Ahh lovely, it's a "traveller" GMT aka the local hour hand can jump in 1 hour increments forward or backward. That used to be exclusive to Rolex, Grand Seiko, and Omega for $4600 MINIMUM.

Now SWATCH group and Miyota (Citizen group) have started dropping sub $2k traveller GMTs.

I really like the Dial design on that, I saw a Omega Speedmaster recently that had this amazing green dial with red an gold accents I am in love with.

SWATCH group has upped their dial and overall finish game in the last few years. My relatively new Omega and Longines look great.

A Powermatic 80 GMT. Very nice.

I have become autistic about shoes. I recently purchased some Saphir Medaille d'Or 1925 because I needed the most autistic shoe polish possible. I can't tell if it's any better than the cheap stuff (paraffin wax and Stoddard's solution, ew), but I also picked up their Renovateur with macadamia oil and it seemed to rejuvenate a neglected pair of boots. At least they smelled good.

Ohhh shoes autism is so fun. Saphir polish is outstanding. As for conditioner, Bick4 or Venetian shoe cream is good for 98% of shoes and boots out there with Bick4 being extremely gentle on colors.

If you need something ultra heavy duty, Hubbard's shoe grease and shoe oil is all you need.

I bought a new pair of SHARKSKIN cowboy boots. I'll try em on when they arrive but shouldn't have any issues as they're a brand I already have, Anderson Bean.

I got a lego minifigure book so I could get the exclusive orange classic spaceman it came with.
View attachment 5597310
Books actually pretty nice to flip though, it's not comprehensive but has enough to give a feel for the different eras of lego. Now I just need to get the classic spacemen you cobble together from different figs and my rainbow will be complete

I actually once thought it would be funny to buy this lego set:

I was splitting logs for firewood at a friends place, pulled one that was a little too large (there may have been a bit of dick measuring going on), one swing and it fucking detonated. Inside was the remains of the biggest, fattest, bully of a grub I've ever seen. Damn thing must have been like, 4 inches. The thing had fucking organs and shit.

Did some research to figure out if we needed an exorcist or DNR and turns out they used to be native to my area but disappeared (fuckin died) when people starting doing long leaf pines and controlled burns. So I'm planning in reintroducing them.

We also grow mushrooms (the edible kind) (no not that kind of edible) so there's a whole lifecycle thing where we basically have a few piles of used logs scattered about that we either have to burn or just let rot. Hence fuck it, I released the grubs and hopefully in a few years my grubby army will be turning my neighbors woodpile into swiss fucking cheese (long story)

A gaming laptop that had exactly everything I wanted, and wasn't really that expensive considering the specs.

Earmuffs to wear with my flat cap because puffball hats keep sliding off my giant noggin and wearing a hood limits my field of view on the scooter too much. I had to fucking order them online because the only ones available in retail are either pink or have cat ears attached to them.

Get a balaclava. Then you can do cool crimes too.

I can't. Someone will immediately call the cops on me thinking I stole the scooter.

I bought this Crash Bandicoot game because I kept playing a ROM version of it on a Chinese handheld console and I had fun with it, minor crashes aside.

Plus, I kind of bought on impulse because I was afraid that I did not play my PS1 for a few months and I did not want it to collect dust.

I've bought some tiny harnesses with tiny leashes so I can take my rats for walks like tiny dogs.
