For me it has to be:

Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
Books ($0 @ library)
- "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
- "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
- "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

A rice cooker, and a pair of clip-on earphones that I bought specifically because I like Persona 3, but turned out to be a really good pair.

On Reddit I remember there was a post like this and so many "people" were losing their bloody minds that some people said that a rice cooker was a good purchase.

I think back and wonder if people are really that irritating and naive or whether I was reading a bunch of comments by bots now.

Honestly? It's a cheap investment. Do what you want. If you use a pot, you have 2 ways to cook the rice (with or without lit, different amount of water)

Or just put it in the rice cooker and wait for the finished rice. I do both. Depending on how many pans and pots are on the stove, i use the cooker. Or if I'm lazy or cook a huge amount.

Yeah, that's the point: A rice cooker is such a cheap investment that it didn't really matter either way, certainly not as much as some people were losing their minds about.
