For me, it’s an electric toothbrush. It doesn’t matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don’t ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can’t be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

    There’s actually a pretty cool community sort of tangentially related to this! !buyitforlife@slrpnk.net

    Anyway, my pick is definitely just a GOOD mp3 player. Whether that be an open hardware one you can crack open and repair, a proprietary one that can at least be Rockboxed, or bare minimum a proprietary one with a good iFixit rating.

        • Better quality DAC
        • Don’t have to drain my phone’s battery
        • My music collection is big enough to fill my phone’s storage, and they don’t come with SD card slots anymore
        • Smaller and lighter than a phone
        • Definitely will last way longer and is easier to
        • My phone doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack 😭

        That’s everything I can think of right now

        Durability I imagine. My 10+ year old MP3 players still work fine. My phones from 5 years ago don’t.
