Things I don't need to buy

OK, I don't NEED to buy this.

But WANT? Oh, yeah...

EDIT: Holy crap, I can't buy them all....

I wish legitimate companies would make items like that (with quality materials). Some of those are amazing. Perfect gifts for nieces and nephew, and me, of course.

Yeah,. I know. For a long while I was drooling over some Japanese cherry blossom prints, but the shirts looked too "perfect" on the website and research led me to realizing it was a dodgy company. I wanted them just for casual lounging.

Yeh, I have been tempted by these companies but after buying a pair of "jeans" on Temu (with promotional credit) and getting stretch pants with a denim print I'm not THAT tempted.

GORNFAULD!!!

At the time, the (now deleted) Amazon listing had over 7K 5-star reviews with claims that it cured left-handedness, spoke R'lyehian late at night, and converted cancer to aids.

Kandy for scale. =^-^=

There's a whole thing lately with "hand carved crystal" coffee mugs that look on the website photos like they were hewn from a chunk of raw quartz or an amethyst geode or something like that, all translucent and gem-like with some rock intrusions and looking very cool:

...but when the thing actually comes in the mail it's a plastic, very hokey, toyetic painted cup that looks like something you'd buy for a child:


The store page photos are AI slop, naturally.

I like this.
I actually need it, but I need my money more.

Peanut butter, maple syrup… yeah, I could use that.

 

[Essence Lumin]

I used to have one of these square egg makers.

 

[Isabeau]

Very useful. One never knows when a square egg is needed.

Eggs for dweebs.

 

[Katheryne Helendale]

Like a square egg in a round hole.

I'm not sure I can convince my wallet this is a necessary "art" purchase. Maybe I can convince one of my brothers to buy me this for xmas.

Y'all need Baker's Edge Brownie pan. Even good old Dan is amazed by this product, and cannot stop thinking about brownie edges now...

I already have one. I barely use it because I'm not constantly baking brownies (or baking in general, as it can be used to make cookie bars, cornbread, etc.). I've tried it with lasagna, but an all edge lasagna is...not that enjoyable. Cleaning the pan (especially in a sink) is not fun, either. All those nooks and corners for crumbs to crud up in. You don't want to keep the leftovers in it for later.

Anyway, the real challenge is how one can bake a no-edge brownie...
