They say ignorance is bliss, and there is truth to that statement.

Whether it involves trying a new fashion fad, type of food, or starting a new activity that spikes your endorphins, it's to go back to the way things were prior to experiencing them.

It's like opening Pandora's Box. The joy of discovery is exciting, but it also has the potential to consume you.


Curious to hear from strangers online who were unable to get the toothpaste back into the tube, Redditor Kapuishon88 asked:

"What’s something you can’t live without once you’ve tried it?"

Computer-related activity is addictive.

Gaming

" Video games."

"Started in 1983 before I had reliable memories of anything. It's been a daily obsession since then."

– Kneejerk_Nihilist

Decades-Long Obsession

"Original Zelda. Level 1. 32 years ago. Resistance was futile."

– inarog

Online Activity

"Fast internet."

– Pufferfishgrimm

Opening Up The Periphery

"A second monitor."

– Gaby07

The following involve the things that make life easier.

Selective Hearing

"For me it’s noise canceling headphones."

– Kapuishon88

Wages

"A decent income."

– [deleted]

Preference For The Dark

"Blackout curtains for me. The noise-cancelling headphones of light."

– _CPR_

Sheer Comfort

"Quality underwear / socks."

– thevectorvictor

It's a hygienic thing.

The Perfect Backsplash

"A bidet."

– walkswithelias

The Backup

"Was gonna say the same. I explain to people that once you use one, you'll feel like a peasent when you wipe your a** with TP."

– walkswithelias

For Multi-Use

"Baby wipes. Damn, they are good at cleaning up so many things! The kids are 10 and 15 now and we still buy them by the case. Clean the counters, clean your shoes, get stains out of your clothes, bring them with you when you go eat ribs. Better than a napkin. Clean the table. Clean the desk. Clean the island. Wipe up the spill."

– ScienceMomCO

I have to agree about bidets being a life-changing discovery.

Ever since I was a kid going to visit my relatives in Japan and noticing virtually every toilet having a built-in spray 'n wash button, I was like, "Why doesn't America have these wondrous devices installed in every toilet?"

Not only is it super satisfying, it saves trees.

Trump Blasted For Completely Out-Of-Touch Response To His Net Worth Going Up By Billions During His 2nd Term

President Donald Trump was widely criticized for his tone-deaf response after he was questioned by 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat about the billions of dollars reportedly added to his net worth during his second term.

A recent Forbes report noted that Trump's “net worth went up by $3 billion” since he returned to office in January 2025. The publication's estimate says Trump’s net worth exploded from $3.9 billion in 2024 to $7 billion in 2026.

Trump Does About-Face To Push New Election Conspiracy Theory—And Here We Go Again

After previously appearing to accept the midterm election results, President Donald Trump did an about-face and declared in a post on Truth Social that they weren't "honest."

Last week, Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration. Trump had a noticeably muted reaction to the results but initially congratulated Democrats and pledged to work with them when new members of Congress are sworn in.
