Maybe I just missed the boat on this and it's common knowledge, but these Thera Cane type massagers are amazing:

You can do normal massage, trigger point stuff, or get leverage on your back and sort of pry your rib cage, shoulder blades, hips etc around. It's great. Mine has a sort of semi-sharp edge and I scrape my legs and obliques with it

That sounds rad but I'm pretty sure I'd cripple myself with it.

I :love: my microwave bowl cozy. Do you microwave bowls of stuff and then lament that the bowls themselves get super hot? A bowl cozy will let you carry around a hot bowl without burning your hand.

i will also evangelize for these things. doesn’t look like much, but if you have the aches and pains of a middle aged goon this funky dealy gets right up in there and is quite a qol upgrade for $40 or whatever things cost now i’m just guessing

Do people not just use tea towels or something? Tea towels, hand towels, whatever you want to call them. Or has everyone been just grabbing hot bowls and going "gosh, there's gotta be a better way!"?

Sure you can do this with a hand towel, but a bowl cozy is the right size and shape :shrug:

this trick is to get severely burned trying to grab a bowl -- then your hands get wrapped in bandages at the hospital, and bam -- you've got oven mitts. you can grab whatever bowl you want.

make sure you get the right fish spatch for your dominant hand. nothing more infuriating than trying to use one designed for the other hand. same goes for any kitchen knife that’s sharpened on a bias!

It's not that strong, mostly just shocks them and/or fucks up their wings, doesn't obliterate them. I shot it at my hand and I'd compare the pain to having a rubber band pulled back and snapped against your skin.

For kitchen stuff, electric kettles have already been mentioned, but I'll add vertical spoonrests. Once I got one it was so intuitive I dislike having to use flat ones.

Shoe horn.

If you're putting on the ritz, it's a must-have.

Also the Australian "swag" is a sort of one man tent sometimes equipped with an internal mattress (the super nice ones anyway).

They're mega easy to set up and great for camping or tagging along to a festival.

Nobody wants to sleep 3 or 4 deep in a "4 person" tent when you can just set up individual swags and have a communal awning thing.

if you do too much scrubbing in the shower and regularly wind yourself, a shower chair is really nice
you can sit there and disassociate for a while too, it's great
as long as you're sitting on The Chair, you don't have to go back to your life yet

on the topic of physically abrasive scrubbing, they sell those crunchy nylon bath towels for pretty cheap and they're usually rougher than the exfoliating bath mitt
you can really ablate yourself down to bones with the nylon towels, satisfying
pair it with a nice salicylic acid body wash, get a little mild chemical exfoliant action in there too

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Warm at night, makes you look extremely cool, great off hand weapon in a sword fight. Yes, cloaks are important

One of those things that looks like a moon, but is actually a death star. Can't think of the name at the moment. Very useful for when you want to keep a galaxy under control of your iron fist.

Also laptop sized ziplock bag. Fits a4 papers, fits a laptop, fits I mean most stuff you want to keep dry. Just keeping one in spare in any sort of bag you bring out regular. weighs basically nothing and doesn't take up much space, but if you get caught out when it about to start raining it can be so incredibly useful, and just gives you a great peace of mind knowing all your important stuff is safe.

Seconding a rice cooker.

A phone headset. Maybe everyone knows about them but if not they are great for making calls while doing stuff around the house, like folding or hanging laundry.

My Wise card. If you travel to places with different currencies you can pre-load it with whatever currency you want, exchanged at a much better rate than your bank will provide, then use it like a normal debit card wherever you are. Also great for transferring money internationally in different currencies.

Small whisks. Super handy in the kitchen.

If you work on a laptop and are usually at the same desk, a big monitor. (Maybe too obvious).

A cargo e-bike. loving amazing.
