When I went through a breakup two years ago, the first day I bought a $200 bong made out of titanium

You can literally drive over it with a pickup truck, it is amazing

My buddy had a manic episode and bought an above ground pool because our friends' parents were out of town for a week when we were teenagers

Girlfriend broke up with me so I proceeded to buy a $900 motor scooter (fast mo-ped). My best friend also wrecked it and bent the front wheel after owning it for approximately 30 minutes. It did not bring all the girls to the yard but it was fun!

8 inch googly eyes. Put them in the Christmas tree.

Test tube full of little googly eyes. When I'm feeling depressed I stick them to random stuff around the house.

A rubber egg. Sold at an odds-and-ends booth at a teaching fair, this egg looks like a real, brown-shelled chicken egg. More than once I've dropped this "egg" in front of people while cooking.

I bought a hand made squirrel shaped water pitcher at a ren fest. It was like $200. Pretty sure it’s one of a kind and you won’t be able to Google what it looks like.

Buddy living on a friends couch dropped $8k on a Hayabusa despite having no idea how to ride a bike at all and the town this took place in having no paved roads. Financed the thing too. Kinda wonder where he ended up sometimes

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Tell me he put on some off-road tires and treated it like a dirt bike.

[–] moonshadow@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 hours ago

That'd be sick, at the time I checked out though it hadn't left the garage

I read the whole thing. It was interesting, but too long. I don't reccomend doing that.

A very long setup to "joke": "Better nate than lever"

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 15 hours ago

I went over to my old boss's house one time and saw a car under a cover. He explained that it was a custom ultralight racer built off the chassis to a 1967 Lotus Europa. I was blown away and said that I hadn't realized he was a car guy.

He laughed and said "I'm not. Don't go on ebay drunk."

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

The Lotus Europa is an awesome looking car!

I got drunk and bought a t-shirt on eBay.

It featured a rainbow unicorn with the text "HAIL SATAN".

I got an entire cake decorating kit. Guess how many times I've made cake and icing after the first time.
