I got a Japanese sobakawa pillow that a ton of people recommended and it's incredible. I didn't know a hard pillow could be so comfortable.
Win7
Roller coasters
Oh, I had the opposite experience. Once I managed the courage to get on every single ride at Six Flags, I barely felt the last one I was on. It was fun, but the thrill of free-falling from 300 feet wasn't budging me by then.

- Game of Thrones, final season notwithstanding
- South Park. I was around when it first came out, and I avoided it for about a decade because everyone I knew who loved it was an annoying cunt.
- The Uncharted games, particularly #4
- Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt + DLCs
Things I was right to avoid and sorely wish I had continued avoiding:
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Jesus fuck.

McDonald's Coke.
The water, the syrup, the mechanism, the ice, the cup, the straw - everything engineered and closely controlled to not only be great on it's own as a standalone drink/experience, but also SYNERGIZE PERFECTLY with their meals.
If you're going to McD's and not ordering Coke, you're doing yourself a disservice.
It's essentially a three star Michelin drink and meal, but priced at McDonald's prices and available and mass produced everywhere.

Gonna go for some controversial ones.
AI (generative), around chatgpt 2 i was hearing a ton of hype and I thought no way this ever gets good enough to be useful. Now today I can say yeah its there, in my opinion its the best way to search for answers. Google got popular because people could search with human style in puts like "how long do I cook rice for" but now we have AI that eliminates the step of skimming through the results.
Crypto. The hype was that it would replace currency and while it hasnt done that it does actually provide a replacement for fiat currency. I can send a transaction to an internet friend and maintain all my privacy with no 3rd party being involved its great. Its stable enough to hold and its even been trending up over time. Pretty cool stuff, Monero is my preferred currency but I do use bitcoin for a ton of stuff.
