What's an absurd luxury you pine for?
-
A nugget ice machine. Nuggets ice is the perfect chewing ice - not too hard it will crack teeth, even consistency unlike crushed ice, firm like tight packed snow. It's like chewing on frosty heaven.
But it's absurdly expensive for what little it does. At least a couple hundred dollars for a counter top ice maker that does nothing but make perfect ice.
Yessss.
My first year of university, I lived in residence and the cafeteria had a nugget ice machine. Every day before class I'd swing through and fill my water bottle to the brim with ice and top if off with water. I'd have enough ice to crunch until my classes were done (not in class, I'm not a monster).
I miss it so much.
Also, a post-mix bar gun. Mostly just for carbonated water, because I'm also a fizz addict and those things are just fun.

I just bought a house with a 12x12 room in the back of the upstairs for my gf to create exactly this. She loves it. Has a rocking chair, blanket, and a half dozen bookcases filled up.
I hope you get the same one day!

Infinite ice whenever you want, uh, yes, add to cart
There are certain 12" records which despite only having one it two songs in them go for ludicrous prices, in the hundreds. I'd quite like to have those please.

This is an efficient method, yes, but it's doable without money: If you fly enough you rack up enough bonus points to upgrade for free.

I've wanted someone to invent this for years.
It looks like a blank book. Pages feel and smell like paper. Insert a disc and text appears on the pages. Any book you want with the feel of a book and the convenience of an e-reader.

The Romans would have thought that even Kings did not enjoy such luxuries as an ice maker. They would be all "what sorcery is this?!"

Fair, though I feel like most do nowadays? And I'm not living in some McMansion or anything, I'm on the poor end of things, but still I can't think of a house I've lived in in the last ~30 years that didn't have it.
In my case, the house I bought had been renovated before I bought it, but so poorly that it was considered a "fixer-upper" anyway. Technically, the kitchen has a refrigerator water supply, but the layout was so awkward that I ended up putting a cabinet in front of it and putting my refrigerator on the other side of the room.
I eventually ended up getting a countertop ice maker for ~$150, which is less convenient than a built-in one would be, but is also kinda nice because it makes relatively fancy, chewable "nugget" ice.

That's actually pretty attainable!

there is a pocket star trek novel i can't find a physical copy for less than 100$ called "a stitch in time". for some reason they won't reprint it (they released an audiobook recently but i don't personally like reading books that are not physical paper books).
Ugh me too!

Proper espresso bar with a good grinder, machine, and all the meme accessories
Don't let your memes be dreams. I have a budget set up and definitely make better espresso than most cafes.
