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.
Obvious answer: computers.
I wish we got a bidet but my family decided against it. x_x
I got 2 bidets from tushy. Super easy to install and now I despise shitting away from home. I’m so much more clean using water instead of a piece of (toilet) paper.
If you want to try to convince your family then look up that Pulp Fiction scene when Samuel L Jackson explains that if a piece of shit was on your (face) cheek then you’d probably want something more than a piece of paper to clean it up. He obviously explains it better.
Or just buy it and install it without them. They don’t have to use it and your booty will thank you.
My cordless drill. I didn’t think I’d need one because I never did a lot of things that required me to drill or screw things together. But now that I have it I can’t go back. I’ve found so many uses. I’d definitely recommend getting a nice driver bit set with one, if you ever put together furniture from a store like Ikea, a nice hex bit makes it go so much faster.
To add to this, there’s nice multi function ones. I have the Black and Decker Matrix drill (cordless and corded) with several attachments. I don’t do a ton of maintenance nor professional projects and it’s been a huge life (and storage) saver. Super convenient.

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.
Not necessarily better but safer I suppose. I’ve been thinking of getting one aswell.
My Aeropress. Great quality, espresso-adjacent coffee quickly and easily in the morning.
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.
