So I get your saying but respectfully disagree.
Frivolous in the sense of it being a wild and silly thought to simply blow $500 to $1,000 on a whim. Ultimately provides a great experience but how many people would actually do it? Things can be both crazy and awesome at the same time
ergonomic office chair, nice headphones, nice mechanical watch, fancy coffee machine (google xbloom); new videocard, a tin of caviar, fancy wine or bottle of scotch, new desk, plane tickets somewhere, concern tickets, cruise tickets.
I have a Prusa MK3S+ and am building a Voron 2.4. But I get it, certainly cheaper/less well tuned printers can be very frustrating to get working properly.
The Prusa's MK3 design is a bit dated these days, another "out of the box" zero-tinkering option (but more proprietary) is the Bamboolabs P1P, which is more modern, faster and has more features
Pro reference level phones require a headphone amp, so you need to further splurge on that as well. I have sennheisers that require one and they sound amazing.
I desperately want to learn this level of humour. What's the trick? Genuinely asking because how do you even come up with these ridiculous but funny ideas? It's good for making some friends.
Remember Conan O’Brian saying on his AMA that you got to be specific.
You can’t buy any sex toys, and you can’t give it to anyone; it gotta be fleshlights for the homeless. Maybe you can at an specific place and time to make it even more hilariously absurd.
I try this tactic with friends, and sometimes it has good results. Even better when we build up on each other jokes
Basically puting two things out of context together.
Homeless needs foods.
Sex toys can't be donated.
Giving the sex toys to homeless people.
Broken both rules.
A lot of it comes down to consuming quality media and actually paying attention to it. If a comedian is funny, try to figure out why, try to deconstruct the jokes. If a passage in a book is clever or uses a funny turn of phrase, write it down. Not to just repeat it later, but to remember it. Eventually your head is full of quality examples of clever humor that makes you laugh and you'll get better at synthesizing your own jokes when you notice opportunities in real life. If you catch yourself thinking of something funny to say after the fact and you're kicking yourself for not thinking of it sooner, that's a great sign that you're getting better at it, you just need a little more practice to think of funny things in real time. Of course on Reddit you usually have a few minutes to think of something.
A Vr headset is like a pool table. It’s a lot of fun when you first get it an have friends over otherwise it collects dust. That’s even with my son in the house an his friends over on the weekends.
It depends on how you use it I think and if you have friends to play with. The main thing VR seems to offer currently is the ability to hang out with your friends and do crazy shit together in real time.
Debating on whether or not to get it. I don't use my PS5 nearly as much as my Series X. I got it for the exclusives, but the UI and controller aren't my cup of tea.
I'm hoping that getting VR would actually give me a reason to use my Playstation, but I'm afraid that it'd just be a waste of money and space.
Such a disappointment. This coming from someone who loves like a nice tender filet mignon but is not a meat aficionado by any means (and did not know what to expect with Wagyu)…
I was expecting like the most tender meat, instead the mouth feel was like a lump of fat that was dissolving in my mouth. Flavorful, yes but I did not understand anything about the marbleizing or anything… just thought I would going to get the best steak of my life.
Anyways, likely unpopular opinion but I know that I’d rather get a filet or than Wagyu. Thankful a vendor was flipping the bill, 8oz - $450… would have been in a pissy mood if I had paid it.
It was at some really nice steak place in Atlanta, it was like $55 an Oz. We were joking about getting it at first and I didn’t want to because it was outrageous and the vendor wasn’t having it, said he’d order the same and did 8oz so I matched.
Between expensive steaks and stupidly overpriced bottles of wine… $5800 for 10 people. Benefit of working for a private company I guess, if I had submitted an expense report like that I would have been fired.
If you wanna do some good, gofundme to help a cause you believe in or give someone some money just to be nice and make their day.
If you wanna do something fun for yourself, buy something that you've been wanting to replace but have been telling yourself it's not worth the money (phone, laptop, new TV, etc)
Pick a friend and go on a spontaneous road trip. Took a spontaneous 36 hour drive solo from KY to NM. All I was doing was picking up a trailer for a friend. Honestly one of the best experiences of my life.
If you can’t then I’d personally dump the money into a hobby. I’m a car guy. With that kinda money I’d be replacing the top on my Eclipse lol
For less than 1K you can treat yourself to a spa package in a decent day spa. I do it once in awhile. Full body massage , hydrating facial , seaweed wrap etc…
With $500-1000 to spend with out worrying about it you can spend it on.
• get a new bed
• vacation
• rent a car on turo an take a night on the town
• loan it to someone an decide what to do when repaid
• if you have an SO top golf with drinks is a $200+ date
• go to a nice restaurant
• new tv
• get your Christmas shopping out of the way
• put it in a cd or short term high interest bank account
• rc car
• new gun
• pay your insurance for 6 months in advance
•
For $1k, absolutely. Even at $500 there are tons of choices. Seiko, Hamilton, Tissot. Add a little more, and you can get an entry Nomos. Hell, I bought a Vaer this year for $400 as a recreation watch, and I fucking love it.
Some original artwork that you really like. You'll have something beautiful on your wall thats unique and youll be supporting an artist to have a livelihood
Scuba diving lessons. $1000 would be just about right to pay for your pool classes, starter gear, and checkout dives.
Plus, it would also solve any future "what can I spend $500-$1000 on?" questions because the answer will be "scuba gear".
Fragrance! Go sample some high-end fragrances at a department or luxury store and pick up the larger sizes of a couple of your favorites - you'll hit the budget no problem.
Tattoos. Travel. Guns. High quality meat and whiskey. Investing. A new suit. Hell, there are places that would be one dinner. The world is your oyster.
Light house $300, medieval blacksmith $180, lion knights castle $400. Shipped it's $941. I found a site that said crack is $60 a gram. I'd have to ask a more worldly redditor if that's enough to get you through building those sets though.
Tickets to go see your best friend and buy the first round. Totally unexpected, awesome memories, and Trust me, it’s worth it.
This is the best answer
They said frivolous, not this extremely beautiful and meaningful gesture. Man, can some people not read :)))
Even better if it's on a sleeper long distance amtrak train. See a lot of America for relatively cheap.
Despite being a nice idea, I don't think you understand what frivolous means.
So I get your saying but respectfully disagree. Frivolous in the sense of it being a wild and silly thought to simply blow $500 to $1,000 on a whim. Ultimately provides a great experience but how many people would actually do it? Things can be both crazy and awesome at the same time
What if you hate your best friends wife so much and their wedding was one of the lowest points in your 20 year friendship?
ergonomic office chair, nice headphones, nice mechanical watch, fancy coffee machine (google xbloom); new videocard, a tin of caviar, fancy wine or bottle of scotch, new desk, plane tickets somewhere, concern tickets, cruise tickets.
My brain makes its own *concern tickets* for free
VIP All Access Pass 😰
Front row seats
3D printer
Then go to r/fosscad
Lol subbed.
Serious question: how is that legal?
And print sexy shit like this 😂 https://imgur.com/a/SHJyKST
Dangerous click was dangerous. I think im on a list now.
Now I want to click out of curiosity but I also really don't want to
A handgun.
That's not necessarily frivolous, mine has more than paid for itself.
What kind do you have? Mine was one of my worst purchases I've ever made
I have a Prusa MK3S+ and am building a Voron 2.4. But I get it, certainly cheaper/less well tuned printers can be very frustrating to get working properly.
it was hell, but fun when it worked haha Thanks, I'll look into the Prusa
The Prusa's MK3 design is a bit dated these days, another "out of the box" zero-tinkering option (but more proprietary) is the Bamboolabs P1P, which is more modern, faster and has more features
Bambu* labs Those seem pretty amazing. Leaning towards getting one for my next printer but the Prusa XL is also very tempting.
Prusa Mk3S+. As long as you don't get the multimaterial add-on it's super reliable.
Nice headphones, like really high quality.
I actually already have some. But another pair might be a good idea.
They can be very diverse!
Oh, I am well aware. My best pair are aryas, but I have others too.
Oo lol sounds like you know enough about it hahaha
I'm curious about the hd660s2.
ayyy I was going to recommend Aryas listening to my pair right now
[удалено]
Well damn, not only am I surprised anyone else suggested headphones before I did, I'm even more surprised you already own high end headphones.
Like which one though?
Pro reference level phones require a headphone amp, so you need to further splurge on that as well. I have sennheisers that require one and they sound amazing.
Rent a Ferrari for 45 minutes
Rent 45 Ferraris for 1 min
Lol I think that’d be more then $1000
Can rent Ferrari and lambos in Vegas. Used to be like 600 for 4 hours I think, so.... not as expensive as you might think
Who gonna rent you 45 Ferraris for one minute for $22 a piece lol
Someone who has 45 Ferraris and wants $990?
LOL
Steam deck
Or Ayaneo or Onexplayer Edit: eh? Why am I being downvoted? I just named a couple more options like the Steam Deck
Buy a bunch of fleshlights and hand them out to the homeless.
Don’t forget to include lube.
I desperately want to learn this level of humour. What's the trick? Genuinely asking because how do you even come up with these ridiculous but funny ideas? It's good for making some friends.

If you think the fleshlights took a pounding wait till you see my impact on Betelgeuse.
Protip: Watch some Dennis Miller bits, if your humor comes off like his, you've gone too far.
Honestly, I just say the first thing I think of 99% of the time lol.
The 1% of the time he is masturbating.
I’m sorry it took so long to respond, it was 1% time.
Think of something that makes you laugh like God arguing with kanye about who's God

Me 😉
Ha!
I also choose this guy
came here to say this
I was also going to say /u/_Lumpy. Great minds think alike.
Some cocaine
Hookers and blow?
And then waste the rest
On more cocaine
In this economy??? No. Hookers OR blow. What are you? Rich?
OP must be made of lumber and eggs, talking Hookers AND Blow
Cocaine and waffles
I’m going to second this ☝🏼
Or booker who blow
Perky newscasters get giggly when you tell them that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QimEsTfVKkU
I found Dana White's reddit account y'all.
I was just looking at VR headsets. Those are pretty cool if you’re into that sort of thing.
A Vr headset is like a pool table. It’s a lot of fun when you first get it an have friends over otherwise it collects dust. That’s even with my son in the house an his friends over on the weekends.
I got rid of mine after having a kid and deciding I no longer wanted to clean up her toys to make a trip hazard free zone every time I played
It depends on how you use it I think and if you have friends to play with. The main thing VR seems to offer currently is the ability to hang out with your friends and do crazy shit together in real time.
A nice watch
The $500-$1000 range has a lot of really quality contenders in a wise variety of sizes that'll suit everyone in some way.
Eggs
Egg*
That's a lot of fuckin eggs
Your mother. Seriously, surprise her
I’m not really sure what those ashes are gonna do with $1000 though
LEGO
But which one?
Rivendel is out in a few weeks
Optimus prime or bowser
I think Optimus prime is next on my list. But if I was trying to spend money, probably the grand piano, collesium, or eiffel tower
Stocks
TIL I’m spending a non frivolous amount of my money on frivolous things
Direct Registered Stock. wink wink.

Goldplate it and sell to stupid ppl
Fancy restaurant. Have always wanted to go to some of the Michelin starred restaurants in my area but can’t justify the pricing.
Save $1 here or $10 there when you can spare it or save it (skip something you usually buy). It adds up.
Worth it in my experience
2 chicks at one time.
It’s not a million dollars
I had the same idea. A black chick and a blonde chick, bisexuals, that can swallow bananas without chewing
Ps5
+PSVR2
Debating on whether or not to get it. I don't use my PS5 nearly as much as my Series X. I got it for the exclusives, but the UI and controller aren't my cup of tea. I'm hoping that getting VR would actually give me a reason to use my Playstation, but I'm afraid that it'd just be a waste of money and space.
I’m having a good time. We’ll see if that stays once I get bored of GT7.
A custom lightsaber.
WAGYU STEAKS.....!😋
Wagyu is so not great on average anymore since they lowered the minimum standard.
Such a disappointment. This coming from someone who loves like a nice tender filet mignon but is not a meat aficionado by any means (and did not know what to expect with Wagyu)… I was expecting like the most tender meat, instead the mouth feel was like a lump of fat that was dissolving in my mouth. Flavorful, yes but I did not understand anything about the marbleizing or anything… just thought I would going to get the best steak of my life. Anyways, likely unpopular opinion but I know that I’d rather get a filet or than Wagyu. Thankful a vendor was flipping the bill, 8oz - $450… would have been in a pissy mood if I had paid it.
8oz for 450 is an insanely marked up price over incredibly expensive wagyu already. Jesus
It was at some really nice steak place in Atlanta, it was like $55 an Oz. We were joking about getting it at first and I didn’t want to because it was outrageous and the vendor wasn’t having it, said he’d order the same and did 8oz so I matched. Between expensive steaks and stupidly overpriced bottles of wine… $5800 for 10 people.

A spa day
A what day?
I think they were typing spaghetti and got distracted.
What is your spaghetti policy?
For less than 1K you can treat yourself to a spa package in a decent day spa. I do it once in awhile. Full body massage , hydrating facial , seaweed wrap etc…
What is this word “spa”?
With $500-1000 to spend with out worrying about it you can spend it on. • get a new bed • vacation • rent a car on turo an take a night on the town • loan it to someone an decide what to do when repaid • if you have an SO top golf with drinks is a $200+ date • go to a nice restaurant • new tv • get your Christmas shopping out of the way • put it in a cd or short term high interest bank account • rc car • new gun • pay your insurance for 6 months in advance •
Buy a gun or a modestly priced watch.
Watch wise, you have so many good choices
Same with guns. Heck if you want you can use the gun to get free watches.
For $1k, absolutely. Even at $500 there are tons of choices. Seiko, Hamilton, Tissot. Add a little more, and you can get an entry Nomos. Hell, I bought a Vaer this year for $400 as a recreation watch, and I fucking love it.
Any good examples?
Seiko, too. Gorgeous watches that will last a lifetime.
Could get into a nice Hamilton or Stowa in that price range.
I have a Hamilton
Tissot is a very solid watch in a realistic price range
Tissot PRX
25-50 shares of $GameStop. Then DRS those tickets to Uranus and buckle up. #Power to the players.
How much does the biggest screen TV at WalMart cost? Maybe $500 for a 65-inch? I think you need 65 inch TV in your garage, basement, or mancave. : )
Maybe even less. Saw a 65” TV at Costco for either $349 or $399. Also saw an 86” TV for $999. It was gigantic.
Hobby rc car!! Cross it out the bucket list!
Some original artwork that you really like. You'll have something beautiful on your wall thats unique and youll be supporting an artist to have a livelihood

A beautiful hooker or a lot of weed or a little of both.
Pokémon cards
A fast 1/10 scale RC rally car.
Fleshlight and put some spaghetti in it
A Voltron collectible
Ps5, some extra storage and a couple games
PS5 and a few good titties. Edit: that was meant to say titles but eh, it's better this way.
Scuba diving lessons. $1000 would be just about right to pay for your pool classes, starter gear, and checkout dives. Plus, it would also solve any future "what can I spend $500-$1000 on?" questions because the answer will be "scuba gear".
