you know – this is always represented in the news/etc as ‘a starbucks a day’ but i mean moreso a gadget or a shirt. i’m splurging on deodorant right now. is that immoral? are you meant to have a mostly austere budget until you’re a boomer with a house and a fence?

so uhh what’s the last little thing you bought to not go insane?

    Last year I got really into freshwater aquarium keeping as a hobby. So I find myself buying little plants, decor, tools, etc for my aquariums (of which I have 5 now…). It’s fun, a bit expensive but it’s therapeutic.

    I also smoke hella weed.

        We have a 38~ gal with live-bearers (Platys and Mollys), a few skunk Cory’s and a pleco.

        A 20 gal with a Betta, white-gold mountain minnows, panda Cory’s, and a pleco.

        A 55 gal that’s pretty new, has ghost shrimp, fish tbd (we’re thinking angelfish and some larger schooling fish).

        A 3 gal with a betta.

        And finally a 4 gal, fish tbd (working on a low tech nano, was thinking chili rasbora)

        Anyone know if there’s an aquarium community on Lemmy yet? edit: yes, there is!

      You may already know this, but don’t smoke near your aquariums. I used to work in a high end fish shop and smoking was such an issue for customers. Vaping is even worse.
