[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

pokemon cards are a necessity

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Tell that to my wife! Hhaawwahahahaww

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

tell her to quit buying so many dang shoes and hair straighteners

I'm fixing my laptop's USB ports or buying a new battery.

Note to future self, gaming laptops are a mistake and you shouldn't buy another one.

A big ass cat tree for my kitties

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

I still haven't bought a bunch of games that I'd like to buy and not pirate. Dwarf Fortress, Tiny Rogues, Slice & Dice, Hades 2, and Terraformers at least.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 days ago

Ammo or lockpicking shit.

probably some shirts I can layer with other shirts in winter and wear on their own when it warms up.

I lost like 20% of my body weight in the last 8 months and it's still coming off. I've been replacing stuff that has become too big/absurd piecemeal since I'm not sure where I'll plateau and versatile longsleeve shirts for in person work stuff and casual whatever are the bottleneck right now.

id probably get a few henleys and a button down flannel type of deal or something. I am the most generic ass white guy you will ever pass by on the street without noticing lol.

Yeah same here man. Did not budget for a new wardrobe when I started losing weight 💀

having to get new pants/jeans was crushing my budget was fuckin me up until I fully embraced the suspenders lifestyle. now I can keep some wearable life in pants that would be 2-6+ sizes too big in the waist.

my personal fave are side clipped, trigger snap. super simple & functional. no more Hank Hill ass sagging.

I got an LL Bean heavy flannel shirt and I genuinely live in it. Those things are amazing.

Edibles probably

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Probably just put it all on my leap card so I don't have to pay for public transport for a long while.

Nah I'm lying I would buy Miku merch

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

After checking the current date, I'm gonna go with Internet bill.

Bicycle parts.

Brewster's Hundred

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

On the spot, Warhammer. Obviously there's better things, but most of the things I like are either way cheaper (like food) or way more expensive (like music supplies).

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've been wanting to grab a couple of anti-uv long sleeve shirts for a while

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've got a few, but they're starting to fall apart. Hiking and gardening are starting to take a toll on them.

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 1 points 4 days ago

Ya the ones I have likewise are beginning to fall apart they get worn so much

[–] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 3 days ago

an oven to make bread

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

I recently bought some basic nail stamping supplies, just to try it out, and I’m getting really into it. So I guess buying a bunch of different colours and additional plates would be my answer.

colombian marching powder

[–] Bat@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Gas and chicken wings.

I'd probably just go get drunk
