People Explain Which Things They Couldn't Live Without Once They Tried Them

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.
