It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever
Bluetooth earbuds. Took me the longest time to buy a pair. Now I have them all the time.
Vaccines. My uncle had Polio as a child and so my Grandmother was still advocating strongly for vaccines before her death at 98. I’m happy to have received my first Shingrix shot last week. It’s amazing we can get a poke, with something that’s completely gone from the body in a week but we will have T-cells protecting us for a very long time.
Milk.
Minecraft. Still super fun and there are servers for literally everyone (from pure vanilla to factions to semi-anarchy and anarchy)
LeBron. He came out of HS as the “chosen one” and dominated the NBA most of his career. He could have easily have crumbled under the pressure and instead ended up being a top 3 all time player.
E-bikes.
I got a couple of electric scooters for me and my gf to fuck around on. Ended up selling my car.
How hard are you finding it? My wife and I tried fucking around on our car once but there wasn’t enough room. How are y’all achieving it on a scooter? Any tips you can share?
I personally would really recommend an ebike if you want to have adequate utility to partially replace a car.
The other person might have something up their sleeve, and idk what sort of neighborhoods either of you live in, but I feel like with a scooter you’re stuck to a backpack.
Ebike you can outfit with baskets, bags, and even a trailer depending on what you’re doing. The ride will be more comfortable in a seated position, and it is more safe, since you can’t front-over from a pothole or something.
MRNA vaccines. Not only have they saved millions of lives from COVID, they look like they are going to revolutionize other areas as well. For example, there is a wide-range cancer vaccine under development.

The Nintendo Switch when it came out. I was super hyped and somehow the console even exceeded my expectations.
Playing Breath of the Wild for the first time was amazing and even after 6 years the console still feels modern to me.
The concept feels modern, but I wish they made a second Gen model of the joycons by now.
Or a second gen model of the Switch. I was really hoping they’d announce something at the direct today but nope!
Super random but getting laser hair removal. As cursed lady I maybe shave like once a month maximum now as opposed to twice a week. Yes it’s cheaper to shave but my vision is horrible even with glasses (and I can’t wear my glasses in the shower) so shaving is difficult… now I hardly have to think about it!
Everyone also talks about lasik for eyes being the best thing they’ve ever done. I would totally do it if it didn’t totally freak me out and rely on me lying still and not blinking.
Lasers are cool.
Maybe a hot take, but Cyberpunk 2077. I didn’t experience most of the bugs people complained about and I loved almost everything about the game and world. It’s also only gotten better as they’ve patched it.
For me, it could never live up to the hype. But I am glad some people have enjoyed it so much and it has come a hell of a long way since release. I’ve been playing recently but going to wait for the new DLC and restart.
Same, I just restarted a few weeks ago, but the DLC looks like it’s worth restarting for, so I’m holding off until then.
I know I was kinda blinded by the potential early on, bu the world is the most ambitious ever created in a video game. The fact that all of the missions use it at face value is really crazy IMO. The game is groundbreaking for that alone.
Better Call Saul. I just finished the series a few days ago and I thought it was amazing. At the moment I believe it’s actually better than Breaking Bad so I’m gonna have to go and watch that next to compare.
Watching Breaking Bad will make it all the more apparent that BCS is a better show
Sex
Smartphones.
