2020 Dec. Goat Daily Rant 06
10Daily Rant: random shit.
Side theme: participation
Side-Side theme: stolen idea
Question for all of you out there paying attention: Is there something you got here on Meh.com that you use every day, or at least weekly?
I went to puree some pineapple and mango for my Sweet Revenge pepper sauce today and was greeted with this from my meh-purchased blendtec:
Originally, I tried to tame this sauce by de-seeding the Japones peppers, and adding sweet baby peppers, but those tactics lost the nice flavor of the hot peppers themselves, so I decided to embrace the heat and Sweet Revenge was born.
Of course, I have a tin or two of Fun Putty at my work desk and I always have one of a multitude of power banks in a convenient nearby location. The Mehndanna helps me comply with CoViD requirements and my WiFi router is essentially in constant use.
What meh purchase do you find most useful on a regular basis? Which ones have done nothing but collect dust? And what is the ratio?

That is the Best Error Code Ever
@kerryzero It’s not an error code; that’s the blender’s usage count.
@PocketBrain ohhhh I see. Still, awesome
FOOLS! TOOLS! JEWELS! AWESOME!
I like my Meh-face PopSockets. They should sell those more often.
Phone stands and various accessories, my vacuum. Probably wear a meh shirt at least once every couple of weeks.
Dust collectors? Everything in an IRK I’ve ever gotten.
@mike808 forgot about my swiffer dust and pet hair sucker thingies. I love those.
Pretty sure the Stealth Meh shirt gets the most use. Tho the Meh bags have been great as shopping bags.
My kids are still using the mini-speakers from 2016
Yes.
Backpack, power bank, extension cord thing.
Olio.

Using IRK bags as Gift Bags this Christmas.
@PyroVanquisher
you obviously give bigger gifts than I do!
@chienfou Never said they’d be full, or even what they asked for

Shirts
I got some charging stations that I use every day. And some polyester blankets have been getting some use now that it’s cold. When I was driving a lot more, in the before times, I used some Bluetooth speakers in the car because my car is from the last century and doesn’t understand about these newfangled portable computer thingies with the “podcasts” and the “audio files” on them, which is probably the most iconic Meh purchase after the shirts (and the shirts only win because they’re actually representative of the site).
Also,
I was wondering if you were using these with the blender, because man, that could cause some excitement. Especially if you were trying out new things to blend every day.
Maybe that’s what the goat should do - blend things they got from Meh! Or at least lie about it convincingly, because actually blending anything I got from here would cause a disaster.
The least harmful things I could think of are stroopwaffels and candy corn, and I didn’t get either one, and they would still probably break the blender.
@yeppers
pretty sure you could blend a few of those wireless earbud thingies… with or without wires.
@yeppers
Guys, guys… it’s a blendtec blender. The dude who designed it blends rake handles, glass marbles, iPads, ball-point pens, bic lighters (not recommended), Amazon Echo, etc. in the "Will It Blend" YouTube channel. It turns 1 pound of ice into snow in 10 seconds. It’ll handle 99% of stuff sold here.
@PocketBrain Yeah, okay, that’s fair. I guess that’s even why the “will it blend” idea popped into my head.
So now I blame you for not blending things from meh every day. Also for not lying convincingly about blending them.
@yeppers A replacement blender jar costs $65, used. Fuck that. Unless you want to send me one, then I will blend the fuck out some old meh shit.
@PocketBrain I just said I blamed you. Isn’t that what the goat is for?
Man, now you got me looking for replacement blender bowls.
@yeppers That was a collective “you” I was sending out there… any rich uncles that want to see me frappe up a speaker dock or USB battery, hook me up.
top 2-- in use virtually every day since purchase in 2016
Gardenia Down Alternative Comforter
OOMA Telo VOIP set
Least 2 are a beer kit and wine kit I have still never used.
Everything else (74 plus items) falls in between.
@chienfou If you have any interest in getting rid of the wine kit, I’d be interested. Not sure of the shelf-life, but I ordered one & my order got cancelled. I’ve done the Mr. Beer kits & have been pleasantly surprised by the beer I’ve created.
I use this every day, multiple times per day!
Number 1 would have to be my Chromebook, followed by several speakers, both Bluetooth and wired. I also get regular use from several knives, flashlights, and comforters. And if you include Casemates purchases, well, 'nuff said…
It seems like I use something I got from MEH every day. Just last night, I was using the GoWise air fryer that I got in an IRK and commented that I defiantly got my $5 worth on it. Just in eyeshot now, I have a spray bottle of screen cleaner, a “smart” water bottle, and a purple blanket I got in 6 pack. I’ve bought 4 meh branded shirts, but only really wear 2 of them.
Flipping through my 4 year order history, about 25% of it went in the trash or the closet within about 2 weeks, the rest I use all the time. I’d say that’s a pretty good success rate.
I’m so happy with this - - bought in the last Mehrathon - that I bought another on Sidedeal, where I was able to use my Pastadrop coupon for an even better price. I know most people have moved on to robot vacuums* or Dysons or their imitators, but I still prefer a canister vac with a dustbag because I think dumping the bagless ones is gross.
I’ve actually been looking for one like this, and it has amazingly strong suction for a small machine. The tiny dust brush is a ridiculous piece of crap but I can replace it with a better one.
*(Well, I’d be willing to try a robot vac if I got one in an Irk or something…)
Number 1 for me is ‘The Big One’ comforter. Use it every night. Best bedroom purchase ever.
Number 2 are Stroopwafles. MMMMmmhhhhhmmmMM Strooooooopwaaaaafles.
Number 3 is a dash cam that I use every time I drive.
