I was given an air fryer against my will, and I'm a great cook that makes everything from scratch. I can say in my experience that it's an occasional time saver, but it's really good at ruining food and making it come out worse than literally any other method of cooking.

In my very unpopular opinion, there is nothing you can do in an air fryer that you cannot do with standard equipment and have it come out much better.

I get the convenience, and I get how life-changing they can be for people who don't want to cook, but I don't think they're good for everybody.

Magnesium.

For me, 500mg a day is the difference between being functional and successful, and being suicidal.

A box of disposable wooden chopsticks.

Do you ever want to poke something? Unjam your weed pipe? Stir tortilla dough? Scrape some unspeakable crap off the garage floor and then discard the scraping thing? Chopsticks are so insanely useful when you have a jar full of them and you just grab them and use them for any disposable task.

The cheapest are the best because they flex and they are rough. Because of the texture, they are very absorbent. The head of it is square so if you need to have a scraping edge you've got it, and then the tapered tip fits into so many areas. You can snap them in half, jam a wad of paper in the middle for a fulcrum, and using an elastic band on the other end turn them into quick clips

I don't even want to go on and on about all the things I use them for, because this would be the longest Lemmy comment in history.
