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

500 Million Zimbabwe bux. I dunno if its old age or pure post-covid retardation but Im building a sizable collection of Hyperinflated currency. To what end I have no idea, but its a good reminder not to take the shit seriously. Its a fugazi.

So a brand of potato chips released a sour cola flavor and a friend of mine dare me to try them.

I did.

I got breadsticks at Pizza Hut (one of the few things they still do right) and noticed they had a bunch of those little cups of crushed red pepper, another of those things they still do right although it's usually in paper packets, and bought one.

They didn't know whether they could sell one and got a manager who knew it was on the menu on the register and figured out how to ring it up. So now I have it.

Half expecting to get shit for wearing this due to Current Year Bullshit but I'll just tell them straight up that I wear it in honor of Lemmy Kilmister- it will be a personal reminder to be firm, take no shit, speak my mind, but also be kind as I can.
(Also, I'm a small-ish lady so you'd have to be very drunk on the Kool-Aid to fight random metal chicks over their jewelry)

A culinary technology manual. The book goes into details of the working of restaurant management, assembling menus, pairing dishes, entrees, organizing stations, hygiene routines, food safety, conservation and even cashflow management

I'd snap a picture but it's in HUElanguage and you wouldn't understand it anyway

Pretty good book though, it's from a series about hotel management. Good for me since i want to specialize myself in consulting

Shoes for my autismo feet and the cost was a biiiit above what I think is acceptable... On a lark I asked to try them on, laced them up and walked around the store, we tweaked the size a bit... Yeah, I'll ditch the cheaper pair I tried on earlier and I don't need to visit more shoe stores today. So what did they cost, let's see... (converted to USD)

2xNice! But also, damn, I was looking to spend maybe two hundo € on decent looking sneakers.

My feet are autistically gurgling with joy about the heel being correct, the weight distribution, comfort, toe spread, perfect size/fit etc.

Got me a meteorite.

Man, I want one of those, but all I can afford rn is a tiny chunk of iron meteorite. My long term goal is a decent sized plate of pallasite, and/or a Widmanstätten pattern to wear as an awesome pendant. What type did you get?

Plant shit I grabbed:

Plastic humidity dome
Soil and coconut husk
Biodegradable starting pots
Hand lens (20x)
Botany vocabulary (book)

Trying to germinate some local plants, and take over some city gardens. The city I'm in has no funding left for plants, so I figured I could use a garden
