What was something that you thought was overhyped that actually lived up to the hype?

What do you use your keyboard/computer for and for how long if you don't mind my asking?
I'm at my machine 12+ hours a day, coding, data analysis, grant writing, etc.
I might play some online games too -

The total eclipse. I was lucky enough to live in the path of last year's. I now understand why people are willing to travel across the world just to experience something that only lasts a few minutes.

I didn't think Portal could possibly live up to the hype and I slept on it for a a decade. It did. Superb game
This was a triumph

Very curious to try. I bought some surprisingly cheap ones to see if it would be worth spending more on them, but the ones I received said nothing about bone conduction so the ad was a flat out lie.

I'm making a note here: huge success.

A good mattress is indeed one of the best purchases you can make! Online stores with a lot of marketing (Purple, Casper, etc) tend to be more expensive to make up for all the marketing though, and I've heard stories of off-gassing despite basically everyone claiming "our mattresses don't do that!". Did yours smell at all when you first got it?
Not trying to shade your choice at all, I'm just mentioning because I read a lot of threads like this when I was looking for a new mattress. I've gotten my last three mattresses from https://comfortoption.com/ and they're more comfortable than anything else I've tried (including my old Serta memory foam block), and a few hundred bucks cheaper than the YouTube/influencer-marketed brands. My sister likes the one she got on my rec too.
Why three mattresses? Wear or for other rooms or something?

Believing in God.
Interesting answer. It was the opposite for me. No worries though, you do you.

Yosemite. People told me about it for years, along with how it was full of tourists, so I avoided it. Eventually I did go and wow, it's incredible. Seriously one of the most amazing places I've ever seen.

“Hit the gym” is the default advice given to anyone looking to improve themselves or get over a tough time, but it has really made a difference in my mood and energy levels. For a long time, I also thought “what’s so special about avocado on toast?”, but it actually is a pleasant combination.
Oh, and I swear by those Laneige lip masks for lip care. I just use it anytime my lips are chapped and it doesn’t dry them up even more afterwards.
+1 for the Laneige overnight lip mask. That stuff is like magic. Actually your whole list, and I will add yoga. Yoga does really help me to stay fit and supple.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I think being in 100% totality would make all the difference. I was in like 60 or 70 percent totality and while it was neat, and I'm happy I got to experience it, it wasn't insanely awesome.

Religion and God are two different things. And thank you, lol.
