What's something that, after you had it, you immediately wanted another?

Beer or Tobacco. Not an alcoholic but once I have one, I want at least one more to become comfortably numb.

I disagree. Very few devices don't work anymore, and for things like remotes rechargeables are a no brainer. One time cost and then charging them even once and you've made your money back. The only device I always choose alkaline is smoke detectors.
Well I have the enelope batteries the someone else suggested, and Amazon basic rechargeable. And devices like my Lazer thermometer, certain mice, certain flashlights tend to not operate fully or as long. Thought the device was just on it's last leg until I popped a generic alkaline in it.
I don't have any super fancy high end rechargeable AA batteries, I've just noticed over the years they're not 100% equal in every device. I use rechargeable when I can, but have disposable alkaline if the device sees limited functionality with rechargeable.

What is it that you like about them? This is a genuine question I'm not a baby kinda person.
When I was young I was a bit of an arse. Raised by narcissists, I definitely had narcissistic tendencies. It was all I knew.
When my first son was born it was a profound moment. I saw the potential in that tiny, helpless baby and his possible futures... Based on what I was and what I had to teach, I realised that those futures weren't great. So I changed. I have tried every day since to be the parent that I wish I had. I have embraced empathy and kindness. I have shed the anger and vanity... And I have forgiven myself for not doing it sooner. I'm not perfect. I make mistakes.
When I see a baby I see the potential. It reminds me of how much I've changed, how proud of my kids I am, how much I love my family, how much joy I have in my life.More or less...

An orgasm, a break, a euro, a 3D printer.

I bought a vibrating sex toy. The battery lasts ~45 minutes. You're intended to stroke with it, but honestly I enjoy just resting it and laying back for a hands-free experience. 45 minutes isn't long enough, so i bought another one to keep it going. Turns out 90 minutes still isn't long enough sometimes, but at that point I have to get it over with and continue my day.

Taking recommendations for hands-free masturbators.
:::At that point, it sounds like you should give yourself some days before masturbating, see if the time drops. Anything that sticks to a surface can be considered hands-free, too

Toffifee. After eating the first layer, I immediately want to eat the second set underneath.

Cajons are fucking fun

Thanks for the advice, but I do
varying the vibration modes helps to maintain the stimulation, sticking to 1 mode feels great for a long time, but I think it numbs the sensation as well. -

Do you think you wouldn't care about babies if you were born with empathy and a drive to be a kind gentle teaching human?

Harmonica. Lot's of joy playing but I quickly realized I'd like another in a different key to have a wider pitch range.

A döner in Germany. Everything about it is so good, I ended up eating every other day the next week I was there.
I had a similar experience with broodje haring in the Netherlands.

Usually people have a post nut clarity after orgasm

"Born with...?" We are born with nothing but potential. We are a product of our environment, right up until we realise that we are a product of our environment. Then we have a choice; continue as we are, or choose to be something different. It doesn't matter which we choose, though... We can no longer blame our parents, our society, our environment, for who we are.
That is a strange question, though. If I was born with empathy and a drive to be a kind, gentle, teaching human then I think babies would be high on the list of people I would want to spend time with. Kindness begets kindness and we know the world could use more kindness!

People like you are so strange to me it's like watching the birth of a child is some traumatic brain injury that changes you forever.

I am like this with
Deviled eggs
French Fries
And actually the electric bike, though I didn't get another. It is just so freaking convenient and we have a few people in the house.
Oddly enough, not with most drugs, nor drink. But speed, yeah. My kid gets Adderall for ADHD and I told her just keep it in her room I don't want to see it. Unless I can have it every day for the rest of my life. I really like speed.
Deviled eggs are not allowed near me or I hoover them up with frightening speed!
So delicious!

A cookie.
::: spoiler Pro tip:
Grab a cookie, close the packaging or container, go somewhere else, then eat the cookie. You will want another cookie but not enough to actually go back and re-open the packaging.Alternatively, eat something more nutritious first, then set a specific amount of cookies you're allowed to eat. Also, brush your teeth after eating sweet food, such as cookies.
:::That's how i lost 10 lbs.
- Buy less snacks. Say no once at the grocer instead of every day.
- If you do have some then they stay in the kitchen. You serve yourself the serving size. Leave the kitchen and eat the cookie. Easier to say no to getting another.

Urgh, no. I have ADHD, I get prescribed methylphenidate hydrochloride. I take it because it makes my brain work a little better.
At a recreational dose though? No. Urgh, fuck no. The comedown was fucking awful. Zero appetite, can't sleep, can't think properly, just why?

Not a traumatic brain injury...
It's a change in perspective. It's hard to explain without referencing the experience itself.
It's like spending your whole life at the bottom of a valley. You have everything you need. Your life is whole. And then someone takes you to the top of a mountain and you can see a million valleys and a million mountains and an endless sky.
Your valley is the same, it hasn't changed, but suddenly everything is different. Your life is still whole, but that means something else, now.That doesn't do it justice, but hopefully you get the picture...
