Not a god damn thing

Arduino Elegoo starter kit. It's a kit for beginners who want to learn robotics. I wanted to learn programming for fun since I recently took an interest in electronics/engineering because I wanted to craft things that move and build R2D2 and BB8 in the future. But to do that, I need to learn the fundamentals.

I've been riding my euc and escooter a lot; especially for quick food runs. I picked up a cambro go (insulated pizza carrier) and a wide low profile steel tumbler in an attempt to address integral slurpee collapse. I've been trying to look for some elastic canvas bags but might need to go custom.

Integral slurpee collapse

[–] howl2@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

Dog food and not a damn thing otherwise

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Ham sandwich.

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 19 hours ago

I got a second hand ThinkPad W520 for about $30USD. I already have one, but this was too good of a deal to pass.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Burger buns. Salad greens. Tinned pineapple.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)
[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, pineapple pieces in tins.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

As you already know, I love pineapples, but unsure about this so-called 'tinned pineapple'. You're not a fan of fresh pineapples?

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I don't need a whole pineapple to cook a hawaiian pizza.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Certainly not, but you can use the leftover pineapple to make a cake, some soup, pineapple juice, a smoothie, some cookies, eating it raw, etc. Just something to have in mind.

A sausage roll.

[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

Not for black Friday but arrived on black Friday. Bought a Marshall kilburn iii Bluetooth speaker with 50hr battery. I really like it.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago

Absolutely NOTHING!

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 22 hours ago

Hmm... I think I ate blood sausage with lingonberry jam, potatoes and sauerkraut.

So that's about all I bought. No sale or anything.

[–] zlatiah@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Nothing, I don't exactly need anything at the moment. In fact I almost forgot Black Friday existed...

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 points 23 hours ago

A drink and food at a local spot. Wasn't a black Friday sale or anything, but we stopped in.

Didn't chase any sales or buy anything of note. Don't need much.

[–] timhayes1991@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I must admit I was a big spender. I was on the second last day of my cruise, so I went a little wild. I spent $2.55 on the Guitar Hero cabinet in the arcade. No regrets.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And how much did you spend on that cruise?

[–] timhayes1991@lemmy.zip 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

About $10! I was lucky enough to be brought by my aunt, so I only had to cover the room charges (taxes on a few drinks at port, and of course, Guitar Hero)

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

🤦🏽

Congrats on your vacation, I go on them also.

But you must realize bragging about not consuming when going on an environmentally disastrous cruise vacation is ironic, even if your aunt did the spending...

[–] timhayes1991@lemmy.zip 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

That was meant to be part of the joke. I definitely realize it's ironic, don't worry.

I bought my wife pregnancy clothing, and found out I’m having a girl!

For a moment, I was confused why you would buy your wife pregnant clothing before you knew she was pregnant with a girl.

Nothing fuck consumerism.

Not goddamn thing. Best Black Friday ever.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't even pay for bus fare. I biked to work, biked home, and ate leftovers. Suck it, fake corporate holiday!

[–] CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nothing, and I don’t plan to buy anything except normal stuff through January, either. I’m not doing Xmas this year, so very easy to avoid the spend.

I didn't need anything so I didn't buy anything. 🤷

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Nothing.

We're supposed to be holding a boycott until Dec 2nd.

Y'all are fucking pathetic who broke the line.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

It's far more pathetic to set a deadline for your boycott than to buy something on black friday. You think your boycott has a meaning if you're that sad about it?

I've been boycotting all big companies for a year nonstop and your group can barely do it for a week before crying and just buying anyways

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I never heard of this boycott. If it makes it any better, I didn't buy anything from a big business

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

First I've heard of one too. But too be fair I'm too poor to buy anything anyway

I made no purchases. I don't need much more than groceries and I have leftovers still for a few days.
