I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.

Shower mirror. It has a base that suctions to the wall and a reservoir that you fill with hot water so that it doesn't fog. I had no idea how much better it was than shaving at the sink. If I'm in a hurry I'll sink shave but I love shower shaving and I love that mirror.

Edit: Here's the one I use. No major complaints, just remove the mirror between uses and re-suction every once in a while.

Yeah I'm gonna need a link for that one

Here you go.

People complain in the comments about it falling off and breaking the mirror. I can attest the base does pop off after maybe a month or two of daily use. If you remove the mirror when you aren't using it and re-suction every once in a while it's really not an issue. It's a bit unrealistic to be asking for an infinite suction cup. Materials admittedly feel cheap but it's only $20. Just don't put the base above anything it would damage if it pops off on you.

What the actual fuck.

I've been shaving like a caveman my whole life.

Forty thousand years of evolution and we've barely even tapped the vastness of human potential.
