Not to diss the question, but I've seen a bunch of these 'best purchase' questions here recently and I wonder if someone is trying to subtly promote a consumerist culture.
...we already are in one?
Yes, the "best purchase" questions are a bit frequent. However, where else can you go these days? Facebook? Amazon Reviews? AI article #28462? Paid YT influencers?
Forms like Lemmy are one the last places you can ask and get reasonable honest human answers for purchase advice. Reviews and troubleshooting are last 2 reasons I go to reddit, and even then reviews over there can be iffy on mainstream stuff.
We're also in the lead up to christmas.
Advertisers on ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy, what purchase fits generic criteria?
Edit: I’m not saying OP is doing that but I tend to believe advertisers were doing this on the old site
Had exactly the same thought. Although I doubt anyone's trying to promote anything. Consumer culture has just colonized many of our minds, even here.
Be on the lookout for a articles "Top 10 things you can buy to improve your mental health".
They are great questions to train the AI on. That's why were are all here right?
A new fridge where the freezer is on the bottom. I'm quite tall so my natural eyeline is pretty close to the top of our fridge - when I'd have to bend over to see what was in the fridge I tended to turn to the freezer first when hungry... since switching up our appliance I cook a lot more fresh food (and, for bonus points, I enjoy cooking).

I went from a six year old phone to an iPhone 16 pro max recently, mainly for better low-light pictures of my cats.
I had to bury my oldest last week.
I got a good couple weeks of fantastic pictures of him cuddling us before he really went downhill.
I am so appreciative.
Man, is truly sucks to lose a buddy, but I’m glad you got some high quality media of him.
Hugs Rai.
Thank you so much <3
He was perfect. My partner had him since he was a baby, and I’ve been with my partner for about 13 years. He was an icon of our house. It’s weird not having him, but so comforting that most of his life was cuddling, purring like a mad man, and eating like fancy food.
Fuck man, I was looking to feel better not more feelings.
Camping equipment.
Cleaning service.
A house.
Base building sandbox games. I don't know why but this genre of games can suck away my stress unlike anything else (since I quit smoking). Oxygen Not Included is the one I keep coming back to.
So lucky. Games like that cause me anxiety and stress.
I really like the Archviz Minecraft pack for zen, aimless, creative building. I've made an entire little neighborhood/village that looks quite realistic and it just perfectly scratches an itch for me.
That is very cool. I haven't paid much attention to Minecraft (or its mods) in the several last years, but I may have just gotten the itch to play again.

2016 Toyota Camry.
Paid off and still kicking. Spent more on it than any vehicle I owned before, but it's made up for it in the long run by not needing any major repairs.
Taking my car in for inspection used to be scary. Now, it's just whether or not its time for brakes or tires yet.
Membership in the local art museum.
Can go any time and just sit, absorb, and clear the head.
super soft fuzzy home slippers.
they're just cozy and very comfy.
also wool socks or any thick socks -- really comfy.
I recently got some online, and they actually fit my duck feet! So nice and warm and not pinchy.
glad you found a good fit! i could see how wide feet can be a tough pick for getting the comfiest socks.
I have an electric heating pad that I use a lot. If I have a migraine, it's nice to know it's there. Sometimes I turn it on before bed to heat up my bed. Sometimes I turn it on in the middle of the night and wrap it around my feet/ankles. It's definitely a comfort item that I miss when I don't have access to it.
Adoption fee for my shelter pup, Ripley.
A 3D Printer. It replaced a lot of bad habits and it stuck for me. Plus I'm creative and I love to tinker, so it was perfect.
Right now I'm trying to use my filament printer to create quality D&D miniatures with mixed results. Fine tuning is getting closer and closer to resin print quality.
Motion activated lights. I can probably count on one hand every time they've annoyed me. Otherwise having a light be on all day in a room I barely use would be 10x more frustrating.
We got some rechargeable motion activated lights. I love-love them. They last a long time. Less tripping over sleeping pets trying to go to the bathroom. Yes, I could turn a light on, but I don't want to be blinded, half asleep, and used to just shuffle in the dark. Plus when the power goes out, these still work, which is a bonus.
Gym membership & personal training. Expensive but completely worth it!
