Which gadget makes your life better?
For me, it’s a bidet toilet seat. I bought one that didn’t really fit as well as I hoped, so now I am shopping for a v2 based on experience. I don’t want to live without one going forward. That’s for sure.
A multitool or swiss army knife: I recommend a Leatherman or Victorinox fit to whatever your daily needs are.
Personally, I swear by my Leatherman Skeletool CX in my pocket and a Victorinox Midnight Manager on my keychain.
A pocket knife. Carried one for most of my life at this point.
Also an all metal pen. I always have a writing utensil with me that rugged enough to last years in my pocket.
How does a pocket knife make your life better?
Not necessarily better but safer I suppose. I’ve been thinking of getting one aswell.
Oh yes, then I agree. I too hide a well made box cutter in my travel bag and car at all times.
Kindle.
I read a lot. I used to always keep a paperback book with me ever since I was a teenager. My Kindle goes everywhere with me, since I got my first one in 2009. I just wish they’d make them smaller, the first Oasis was the perfect size for carrying around all the time (I’m a guy, no purse).
Electric toothbrush, I feel so cleeeeaaaaan!!
A set of water pump wrenches. I’ve used them for all kinds of purposes that aren’t water pumps. They grip most things and allow a lotta torque.
Harmony remote control. Even controls my air conditioner.
Garlic press is my second choice. 😎
Obvious answer: computers.
I wish we got a bidet but my family decided against it. x_x
My Victorinox SAK (model Tinker Deluxe) it just comes in handy so often and I’m glad I’ve got it around.
Laser thermometer. I learned a lot about better temperatures at which to cook things and now get more repeatable results when cooking.
Kitchen scale. Recipes are easier to prepare when weighing ingredients as opposed to using measuring spoons and cups.
Both make food a better experience, which leads to more satisfactory meals and eating less overall.
A laser isn’t going to get you an accurate reading of what the inside of the meat is: Get yourself a meat thermometer instead.
For the pan, not the meat.
Oh, that makes way more sense!
Pretty sure he means the surface temp of where he’s about to put the food to cook.
Use the laser to see how hot the cast iron is before putting the meat on. Or how hot the oil is before deep frying. The laser thermometers are good for that.
Do you have a meat thermometer?
Yeah a laser is not that great, an instant read probe is what he needs.
I love my thermapen
My Aeropress. Great quality, espresso-adjacent coffee quickly and easily in the morning.

Smart vacuum cleaner. You buy it once and never have to vacuum again.
You don’t need a fancy vacuum to never vacuum again. We have a cheap one and never vacuum either.
While true, smart ones add even more convenience. Scheduling, room selection, object avoidance, etc.
Dry herb vape: I mainly use it with cannabis and for me it gives clearer effects,better taste, use wayy less material (I can use 0.05-0.1g per bowl, which is enough for me for a whole night), more control of the high when wanted (different temperatures gives different results basically). More easy and discrete to operate on the go, and not bond to smoke a whole j if I decide to get high (last two depends on the device though) and also gave me a fun hobby.
If you want to buy one, fell free to ask for advice at !vaporents@lemmy.beyondcombustion.net and be aware as some devices at regular shops are health hazard (looking at you, Gpen)
