“It’s Ruined Me Forever”: 30 People Share What They Became Obsessed With Once They’d Tried It Once

Or on your chest or arm curled up when laying in bed. Always easier to fall asleep at night that way due to the calm soothing vibrations of the purr

I'm saving up for an adjustable bed so I can sleep in a zero gravity position to help ease fibro pain.

They really are pure little souls, full of love and loyalty. One of the best things in life, for me, is to love and be loved by a dog.

TRUTH!!!

I now have 4 monitors and I can justify each one. But it all started with my first second monitor. Was pure bliss!

I have 3 monitors. I can't figure out how I ever made it with only one for years.

Amen

I had 2 displays then I bought a 32:9 ultra-ultra widescreen. The best I ever had both for work and play: Excel, Premiere Pro, MS Flight Sim, Forza Horizon all look amazing.

Wait until you try a third!

Or, you have one massive one like I do that is 7 monitors in one. It's 48"

I have 3 at my desk at work! Heaven!

Yes!!

Also, started wanting the third, I guess.

Once I got a second screen at work, I will never go back!

One for BP one for work...

god i wish i could do a desktop setup so i could have a second screen, but i can't do a chair and desk. maybe if i had a super good "gamer" chair, but likely not even then, my spine doesn't do well being upright for long periods of time. :(

As a designer, this is practically required.

They decided to cut back on the number of computers in our college's learning center because they weren't being used (almost everyone has a laptop now), I recommended they change some of the spots into laptop stations where you can hook your laptop up with an external monitor and mouse - it's so much easier to do some things with a second monitor and a real mouse!

Ctrl + Tab

What about a first monitor

I do not believe my air conditioner is a worse polluter than the big industrial companies of the world. Thats the line we've been sold to flip the blame. A long time ago bottles were glass and we recycled them back to the producer. Then They washed sterilized them and reused them. Then they discovered single use plastic containers and switched because it was easier/ cheaper for them. Then these bottles started causing problems because they were being thrown away instead of reused. The big companies blamed it on the public and washed their hands of the issue.

Couldn't agree more. Just finished a book called under the whispering door. It's about a dead guy realizing he's dead and falling in love as a ghost

Easier wished than done.

I'm either 3 hours with existential confusion for the rest of the day or I end up waking up at 3am.

I can't sleep with blackout curtains because they make me believe it's 3am when in reality it's 9am and i'm late for work.

I used to manage perfectly well without it, but I now use it even on journeys I know, as the live traffic information makes a huge difference.

Yes. This is a life saver with 4 kids.

I always felt constrained by whatever internet connection I had in recent years, until about 10 years ago when I got fibre to cabinet (street cabinet, the last bit is still over copper) which gives 80 meg down, 20 up, and I can live with that. There aren't that many things that I download that are over a gig, and it still only takes minutes to pull those. I still can't get anything better, as full fibre is only just starting to roll out round here.

You, my friend, are fortunate indeed.

It's worth the money for a good set of kitchen knives. Throw in a decent sharpener for good measure.

Try allulose. It's a natural sugar, no side effects like sugar substitutes. It doesn't make your blood sugar spike. I have been using it a few months and finally started to lose weight!

Way better for your health and cleanliness and you don't need some standalone bidet. You can get a fixture for your toilet for <$50 and install it in 15 minutes.

As an Indian i agree so much

Today I am having a treat for tea. Garlic butter with way too many cloves of garlic and crusty bread torn into chunks to dip in the garlic butter. The cats can’t talk so they can’t complain.

Kids today will never know the struggle of using a card catalog to write a research paper. When I graduated college, they had just wired the dorms for Ethernet! OH! And having dial-up internet 🛜

I don't think I ever got anywhere near the previous limits of any of my plans, but I have been on an unlimited plan for about 5 years or so, and you literally don't need to spend a second worrying about your usage. If I need internet whilst I'm away, I can just turn my phone into a hotspot and use the internet normally from my laptop. Calls are also unlimited, so basically the bill is the same every month, with no surprises.

Biodegradable bamboo ones, so many of the others contain microplastics.

Unless it is adaptive, it would be a pain these days as there is too much traffic on the roads. I long for the days when I could do 300 miles without having to change speed.

If I stop drinking the coffee, I'll stop doing the standing, walking and words putting into sentence doing.

YES!!! When I first got mine, I told EVERYBODY they needed to get one! I use it for so many different things! The versatility is remarkable!

But the price of new filters! The price increases we’re seeing in groceries and pet food I simply cannot justify buying them for my Brita jug.

Sorry but this is one of my worst nightmares.

I need a personal trainer to come to my house, hold a gun to my head, and tell me to run for my life, because that is the only way anyone could probably get me to exercise.

I can't do it... Too paranoid .. always need at least one ear without a headphone..

Bath and Body lotions for me.

I bought satin pillowcases and it has helped my wrinkles and skin tone immensely!

Even better when multilingual. I speak 6 languages and enjoy so much switching from one to another.

At the peak of itunes, if I put every single piece of music I had on a playlist, it would play for TWO WEEKS without repeating anything. I try not to think of how much money I spent in those years of buying absurd amounts of classical music and metal albums.

If they existed, I'd wear them. I don't think they exist.

Yes! Popping down to the wharf 5 minutes away and catching dinner or fresh scallops during the season.

Full placebo effect.

THIS!! I am so excited to be buying a new car next week from my uncle that I could never afford if I had to pay retail. It has heated and cooled seats, leather, huge moonroof-I cannot wait!!

Oh god yes!!!

I move too often, and they're too bulky. I need something that disassembles easily.

My husband and I bought a king size temper pedic mattress with an adjustable base. I no longer wake up with any back pain.

NO FRICKIN WAY ITS AN XBOX 360 CONTROLLER BUT WHY ARENT THEY ON

Does it bother anyone else that some of the videos sneak in 90 second ads by the hosts? I'm growing increasingly resentful about it.

The main reason is being able to lie down to sleep. For flights of fewer than 5 hours, I couldn't care less, so long as my kindle or laptop re charged. I'm not tall, so I fit comfortably in most airline seats.
