I've seen those stickers on many a charger/suburban in the middle-class and lower income parts of town. Never in the rich areas, however.

That looks like something from Etsy. In the same category as these ones, which is fake of course. As the only house that actually has legitimate masks as for last I checked, is Versace. Which is made of polyester, which is bs. Because there are masks made out of silk, for 30 bucks nonetheless.

Found some really nice ones on the site too, but since they're actually nice. They're in the 20-30 k range. As the cheapest option for designer stuff is usually the tackiest. But anyway, it would be cheaper to show a pic to jeweller that make custom jewellery and make a carbon copy.
It would actually be cheaper to make a custom-made 24k gold necklace.

Where would I get such a thing? I know Mene has 24k stuff, but nothing custom. Only other 24k jewelry I'm aware of are the things you get as wedding jewelry and baby-gifts.

I've been seeing a lot of these dumb things online recently, but never once irl. It seems incredibly impractical.

Actually don't know and it's not recommended for jewellery, as pure gold is quite soft (as in you can easily bend it without melting it). So 18k is still somewhat soft, but it's more fine jewellery. Meanwhile 14k is the one most used for engagement rings, as 18k would be scratched up if you live an active life.

Yeah, that's why I've only really seen it as wedding jewelry. One of the mom-in-laws explained it to me as it being something similar to a dowry but gifted from the groom's parents to the new "daughter". She specifically said it was meant to be sold in case of emergency and/or used to bribe border guards.
She was a cool lady.

I like how the room's still visibly a livable room. as vaguely ominous as this image's angling and lighting is it's nothing compared to the fucking star wars/funkopop/video game collection rooms where there's like no room for actual activity or resting within the room itself.

the original Rattle me bones not the board game listed? not one fucking beyblade in sight? Instant 0/10.

Off-top a bit, but are silk masks good enough? Both for skin and as a mask, of course.

Medical masks is a bit rough, so people do experience irritation. Silk is one of the softest materials out there that's good for the skin.
You are supposed to wear it under a medical mask, but lol. I use mine to shield me from breathing ice-cold air, as it fucks up my sinuses.

I don't mind stuff like this too much, a lot of stuff in those cases are model kits that take hours to actually build and its a small space not like a wall of funkopops in the living room.
A lot of the worst consooming in this thread revolves around buying really cheap shit like funkos or fast fashion shit where this is more just a guy filling a spare room with shit he enjoys where its more of a hobby instead of just flatout consooming.
 
I love my millwaukee power tools. They are reliable and the price is ok. But some of the tools on the stools get a little bit to attached to their brand of choice and it results in crap like this.

You might think that looks cheap! No way the price for those three is above 20 dollars a pop!

Most of the small bits and bobs go for around 80 bucks. The bigger ones can be anything from a 100 to 300 dollars.

What your seeing here is hunderds of dollars in red plastic.


Most of them atleast have a sense of humor about it.
