90% of people stop buying just before they find the thing that fills the void
You are now President of marketing.

My fat ass thought that was a bag of cheese curd at first
This would be a perfect custom label to slap on some cheese curds.
Me too 🤣
I thought it was rice and I was thinking, “Rice can definitely fill a void.”

I don’t buy things because I want to buy things. I buy things because I want the things.
If I could just produce them out of thin air I’d be absolutely fine with that. I do not understand people who are obsessed with the actual act of purchasing.
Same here… I don’t believe I’ve ever regretted a purchase, except when I accidently bought egg whites instead of a vegan alternative.
I also usually think about purchases for a long while before making them, so maybe that’s why.
Beware the Diderot effect!
LOL, I was going to reply “See Also: The Hedonic Treadmill” but then I looked at the Wikipedia article and The Hedonic Treadmill is literally the top item in the “See Also” section.
Also TIL, so thanks for that link!
What a terrific painting of Diderot the Wikipedia site has. Truly breathtaking.
Sounds like the extreme of GAS (gear acquisition syndrome), usually a musician’s disease, but anyone can catch it if they aren’t careful.

Also a thing in photography circles!
Didn’t realise it was a thing outside of photography.
I’m on the exact opposite side - I genuinely don’t know what to gift myself for my upcoming birthday, first because I have practically no hobbies anymore, second because I have most of the things I need anyway, third because the things I need are either unavailable in stores or too expensive. Ended up getting myself a pressurized air gun to clean my gadgets, it’s something I guess?
Have you tried a bigger thing?
No, no, it’s “have you tried a more expensive thing”
Oh, no, I’m trying to fill a specific… void.

Basically the only things I buy, besides bare essentials, are books and tools. They aren’t supposed to fill the void, they’re supposed to help me learn things and make things. Actually, on second thought, learning things and making things fills the void pretty well.
Yeah but if I keep doing it eventually I’ll probably win it big. That’s what my trustworthy local gambling addict told me
Oh well, I guess I’ll have to try accumulating power to fill my inner void.
Welcome to why billionaires are the way they are
If the void is buying things, then you need to ask questions to yourself and seek assistance.
If the void is buying things, you need to worry about your cat being way too fucking intelligent.
