Lottery tickets. I'm either as blandly disappointed as my previous purchase (j/k haven't checked the numbers yet) or pleasantly surprised, with an infinitesimal chance of being hella thrilled. Yeah, I'm good with this.
Does food count? I was grocery shopping yesterday. But I wouldn't be too happy if I only received what I bought then, some stuff is pretty tasty but I don't need that much oil and soy sauce. I use one bottle for many months haha
If it's fancy printing, I would take so much advantage of that. Print a shit-ton of digital stuff, give posters for birthdays and make a ton of print and play boardgames.
3.5mm to usb-c adapter... Definitely not satisfied since it'll be a constant reminder of my hatred that so many phones took away the 3.5mm headphone jack.
A lifetime subscription to chess lessons with a chess grandmaster for my kids? Absolutely. My daughters already high rating has been skyrocketing and my son's rating has become astronomical these past couple of months. But we pay nearly a thousand bucks a month for the both of them. It's become my second largest monthly expense, right behind my mortgage, and I don't know how much longer my wife and I can afford to keep this up.
But, as much time and effort as my kids have invested in chess of their own accord, I feel that this is far more than simply worth it, even if I do have to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at work, among other sacrifices, to afford it.
Hell yeah! I bought dank legal weed in California! Best lifetime subscription ever, especially since I live in a prohibition state! I like this thread.
Last thing I bough was 7kg of top tier steak for about 8USD/kg (converting from my local currency). Seems I will have a nice barbecue every month now haha
I bought 3 varieties of ever-bearing strawberry roots. I don’t need a subscription as they are self-propagating. I’d be disappointed for sure.
However this is a really good way to frame things to yourself to decide if you even need to buy it once. Sort of makes you think if it’s actually worth it at all.
Like, if I got a new one of these once a month or once a year, what sorts of things could I actually do with it? Just this one thing I don’t really do that often as it is? Maybe I don’t need this thing after all..
The last transaction on my bank statement is a fish and chips dinner. I'm happy with getting a free fish and chips dinner every month.
However, later in the evening I agreed to buy my friends extra ticket to a concert. No money has changed hands, so I don't know if it counts, but the deal is done. So if I'm getting a monthly subscription of concert tickets, that's also a win.
I bought groceries, so does that mean I get a lifetime subscription to all things grocery, or to just the items I bought? (If so, then I'm glad I happened to buy beer!)
I just bought the game Risk of Rain 2. I wouldn't be a huge fan of it suddenly turning into a subscription model, but if I didn't get a say in the matter and the universe somehow chose Risk of Rain 2... then at least it chose a quality game.
Oh goodie, I most recently purchased Final Fantasy XVI. What's the granularity of this? Do I just get extra copies of the game (kinda useless, since I bought it digitally) or can I view it as a lifetime subscription to PlayStation games in general (very useful)?
Same issue here. I bought an extra concert ticket from a friend.
Am I getting monthly concert tickets as a general thing? Am I just getting monthly Nickelback tickets (say what you want, this is practically a hometown show). Am I jusy getting monthly stubs of tickets from the exact concert we're attending (tonight)?
No, not satisfied. I bought refill line for my string trimmer, and I bought it in bulk. I had to pay at least a year’s worth already and now more will be coming every month? Nooooooo
Last online thing I bought or literally last thing I bought?
Last thing I bought were groceries from the supermarket, I already have a lifelong weekly subscription lol. Last thing I bought online was a cat tree which would be quite an interesting proposition...
