I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.
PSVR - fun for a week but otherwise useless.
A cellphone in like 1995. Had if for a few days before realizing I didn’t have anyone to call. Returned it not long after.
I kinda regret buying my 3d printer. Not because it sucks, it’s more because it reminds me I don’t have any free time to do something this time consuming.
Another one is the cast iron wok. I love my cast iron pans, but the wok is just to damn heavy and it you can’t really use it like one would use a normal lightweight wok.
I have a 3d printer. It used to be a big hobby of mine, but now its just a tool like anything else. I print out practical stuff that i need when i need it, and when the printer is having issues i swear and curse at it like any regular paper printer.
Most recently ive been using it to print out new belts out of flexible filament for my rock tumbler.
I already fail at investing the time to level the bad and such stuff. I really would love to use it. But next to work, trying to bootstrap and family time there is not really time left.
I always wanted to print stuff for build small robot parts for Arduino and raspberry pi. Maybe one day when the kids are older…
I think most traditional woks are carbon steel, seasoned similarly to a cast iron but much lighter. You could give that a try?
I thought about that a few times, but my wife doesn’t want another wok that’s taking space. So would need to fine a new home for old one, which doesn’t seem to easy.
Thrift store. It’d be an absolute find to someone who loves buying weird kitchen shit there
My Steam library
Bought a motorized mop attachment for my Samsung Jet vacuum.
I didn’t do my research and didn’t realize that it doesn’t vacuum up the water. So the thing literally just spins some pads and nothing else. Was such a waste of money.
Yes, we own such water vacuum. Those have a water filter instead of air. It’s pretty effective t9 clean the air as well since everything is kept in the water. But using it is a pain in the ass. You need to fill it with fresh water, empty it after use and clean it. Otherwise it smells like a pond with dead fish after a heatwave…
