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

I'm making an emergency bag, as if I wouldn't get eaten in the first 20 minutes of the zombie apocalypse.

Fantasizing about the ideal bug-out bag is just a part of being a man, son.

I'm not saying I've had frequent fantasies about surviving a natural disaster or ending up in some kind of urbex found footage story and killing the monster through clever preparation... but I'm not saying I haven't. I wonder if we need a No Girls Allowed topic about that.

Yeah, I'm reading quite a few articles on what I need. I think the biggest thing is most survival bag guides assume you're going innawoods, which I definitely am not because I would actually die. But I'm getting there.

I guess "buying the exact same one because it's the one I like when bicycling" is pretty damn autistic even if it's not quite the "weird and exotic items" theme the thread has leaned towards

A new bike after ~20 years. 21" frame, 29" wheels, MTB. FAT tires. I can't believe how fucking light it is and I also had no idea I could reach speeds this high. Just replaced the menstrual a pad of a saddle and now I'm golden.
The other thing wasn't a purchase, but a gift. I got a brand new shiny, sparkling 42 piece reversible ratchet set with all the extensions, sockets and bits you could possibly think of. I've spent the last hour marveling at its versatility. It's also extremely portable Never using Allens again. Is this what old man mentality is like?

Was struck with a very rare desire to consoom this winter when I found out about this keyboard. It's a mechanical keyboard with spill-resistant hot-swappable (just pop them out) switches, on-board programmable hotkeys and a bunch other nice QoL features. Also came with some bing bing wahoo peripherals that suck, but which do connect through standard 3.5mm jacks so I could easily wire my own macro buttons if I wished.

The "kailh box 2" switches combined with the concave raised retro keycaps are very pleasant to type with. Shame the stand-alone numpad that also doubles as a calculator with it's own little backlit 7-segment display doesn't support remapping or macros for some retarded reason, or I'd gotten one of those too.

I try my best to not be a slop consoomer or even that much of a coomer but I buy a shit ton of the gamersupps cups. The past 30 days I bought maybe 5 of them. In my defense I hadn't bought one in a long time. But if I had to guess how many I have(only guessing because most are in storge temporarily) I probably have about 20 i think. Not including the amount of drink mixes I've gone through.

I don't know what it is but I've never had the compulsion to collect really, especially things that I would consider NSFW half the time. They have so many creator cups and I don't even watch hardly any of them but I have like, 3 or 4 just cause I like the design.

Watch out with Kailh Box anything. I don’t know about the Box 2s but the first-gen Box White and Navy clicky switches I’ve used had issues with unexpected activation before the click, premature switch failure, and cracking of keycap stems because of how tight of a fit they were. Only use cheap cap sets on them that you don’t mind getting damaged.

I love the Gameboy Advance SP, my original one sadly developed screenburn that I'm a bit too nervous to attempt to fix though I know how to do minor repair work on the GBP and GBA.

Bought this reshell on Ebay in honor of Pokemon Ruby being my first Pokemon game, the seller was out of Japan and included a Japanese Pokemon card, which I appreciated!

Unihertz is keeping weird form factors alive and relevant by slapping android on it. Had a Jelly for a bit. Want to get that blackberry clone they make for a work phone.

How was the Jelly? I want a small smartphone and long for my Samsung S3 (still have in storage, it's still amazing). Only mass market ones are from Google (gag), Samsung (gag x 2) or Apple (I'm Android all the way).

If unihertz has a newer one (I think mine was the jelly2) it would be great. I'd still be using it as a work phone if it could take a newer version of android.

Pros: you'll hate scrolling so you won't do it, tiny, indestructible, cheap.
Cons: bad camera, your txts will be typo city and you need to use a gesture swipe keyboard to be efficient with it.

I moved onto a razr as my daily. Miss the small sony xperian so bad.

Tax: bought a Rainy75 mechanical keyboard, a different set of switches to try on a mission to get a good feeling keyboard that doesn't wake night shift wife.
