    The toilet. Lost count of the number of times this has saved me from getting dysentery or something and it’s so convenient when it just pushes the shit away from my house and I never have to see or smell it again. I almost feel bad that I repay it for all its done by repeatedly shitting in it.

      Same! Mine’s smart, entertaining, manages my social life, probably contributes more to society than I ever will and on top of that, for reasons that still escape explanation, actually wants to have sex with me which is probably the only reason I never turned into an incel. She is easily the best thing in this house, myself included.

        Right there with you. She’s amazing. Plans all our trips. Organizes the kids. Lets me do the things I do best. Perfect travel buddy. To wives!🍻

    The answer is electricity. It’s so useful, we take it for granted. Your phones, computers and laptops are not useful if you can’t power them.

    I’ll give the people on the dunny their due: toilet paper is still useful in a room without electricity.

        Your point is a good one, though I’d like to point out that electricity is so useful that if I have power and water in the room (and a bit of prep time) I can make oxygen.

    gotta be either the tiny computer i’m typing this on, or the large, sturdy, wooden stick in the corner. if i had to pick to keep just one though, it’d be the phone. a sturdy stick has a million and one uses, but it’s also fairly easily replaceable.

    My field recorder! Chilling after band practice right now, and being able to clearly listen back to my jams has been invaluable in progressing my musicianship.
