“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 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.

I rather have no internet at all than to wait a minute everytime i click something

Wish I could say I've had that often enough to get used to it! The joke about Aussies turning their mobile data on in their own house is far to real!

I remember having a separate phone line in my house dedicated to dialup. Cable internet blew my mind. Now I’m considering starling for my RV. Then I can live on the road almost forever.

Way back in 1995 I worked for a local nonprofit internet provider in Santa Barbara that was one of the only providers to residential dial-up doing tech support... God I hated that job trying to help tech noobies trying to connect to the internet over the phone! 14kb was the top speed at the time! Now I live in Vermont and am stuck with 6mb 👇 & 2.5 up☝️!

80mbs what is this the 90s? In Romania is 1000 mbs average everywhere

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.

Honestly, a couple of years ago, I would have agreed. But... Since being diagnosed with cancer, priorities change. It is a giant waste of what little time I have left.

Oh my god yes. I keep breaking mine though or getting duds. :\ I type 90wpm so the membrane ones quickly f$%& up.

I have horses, so especially would love one! Maybe my next vehicle, but totally agree.

I opt for "no snow"

I also have one and love it! Perfect brown rice and also great for steel-cut oats. Living at high altitude where water boils at 198F (92C) which makes cooking anything with boiling water somewhat challenging.

I never got them past childhood until I was in my mid 30s. They are now a summertime road trip requirement.

Why stop at five? Breakfast, elevenses, lunch, threesies, tea and supper. :D

And I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!

I'll settle for not getting psoriasis, that would be great.

I stir Trappey’s Red Devil hot sauce into mine. It's a mellow children’s-strength blast of Cajun deliciousness that gets absorbed into the melted cheese

Best decision I made was when I quit

"It is just so much better than the normal, Italian spaghetti sauce." that's a bold statement

I was skeptical till I discovered I can listen to someone rambling on a telesales call while typing and doing my work without having to sit like a muppet holding my phone against my head for an hour AND without getting spaghetti cable effect in my bag.

If you mean bp, then you are totally correct.
