The only people who would fight you about how great bidets are are people who have never actually used one

A decent set of precision kitchen scales, and some general use scales that don’t have a massive delay on them #WeightSupremacist4Lyf

But seriously, fuck you, measuring cups. Fuck. You.

Don’t know how you’d cook without kitchen scales. Also, is delay on kitchen scales a thing? I’ve never seen any with delay, not even super cheap ones. (I’m from Europe though)

I spent a lot of time in the middle east, so I’m going to say: Deodorant, not more perfume. Please.

You mean anti-transpirant? Deodorant is often just perfume.

Even better: an antiperspirant. It significantly lowers sweat production on the applied area.

But it also has aluminium which might increase your chances of getting cancer.

Newer studies show that the intake of aluminium through your skin is very low and that there is no increased risk to your health. The risk from aluminium in food is higher.

Link to a PDF of the SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, European Commission): https://health.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2021-11/sccs_o_235.pdf

Conclusion: “… The SCCS considers that the systemic exposure to aluminium via daily applications of cosmetic products does not add significantly to the systemic body burden of aluminium from other sources. Exposure to aluminium may also occur from sources other than cosmetic products, and a major source of aluminium in the population is the diet. This assessment has not taken into account the daily dietary intake of aluminium.”

One I didn’t see mentioned yet: a rice cooker.

Put in rice, add water, push start button, and you get perfect rice every time. I’m usually against single-purpose kitchen tools but a rice cooker is soo worth it.

We sold our rice cooker on eBay after finding out the microwave rice cooker addon for 10€ is just as good, if not faster.
