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

Induction range top. Quick on, fine degree of control, quick off, little heat radiation. Better than gas. Only adaptation was flat bottom wok which
makes the working world go roundis not quite the same experience.Absolutely this. An induction range was a game changer in terms of cooking and has paid for itself many times over. I lucked out and found a high end used one for $400 many years ago. When camping I use a portable one, and while not as good as a full range, it is still much better than any propane cooktop I've used.

I dumped my purple because it was bad to fuck on
I tried one in the store with my wife and we also determined it was going to be terrible for sex. The Beautyrest Silver BRS900 in extra firm we got has been the absolute best bed for sex I've ever been on.

Gonna go for some controversial ones.
AI (generative), around chatgpt 2 i was hearing a ton of hype and I thought no way this ever gets good enough to be useful. Now today I can say yeah its there, in my opinion its the best way to search for answers. Google got popular because people could search with human style in puts like "how long do I cook rice for" but now we have AI that eliminates the step of skimming through the results.
Crypto. The hype was that it would replace currency and while it hasnt done that it does actually provide a replacement for fiat currency. I can send a transaction to an internet friend and maintain all my privacy with no 3rd party being involved its great. Its stable enough to hold and its even been trending up over time. Pretty cool stuff, Monero is my preferred currency but I do use bitcoin for a ton of stuff.

Not to your work neighbours it doesn't!

What brand? I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this.
Sobakowa, as seen on TV!

Oh my goodness he's so cute!! I bet he loves his Lamb Chop!

Did you make it to Better Call Saul, yet? I think I liked it even more.
Yes, I agree.

It told me to put my hot tub temperature to 58C.
You, and your precious chatgpt are idiots.

Ok, I guess I'll be that guy. Every time they are mentioned, it's always people proseltyzing. It made me consider one, but I never pulled the trigger. All of the arguments I heard felt kind of unconvincing, and I couldn't justify buying one without trying it first.
Then I bought a house, and it came with two of them. I was excited to try them out and see what all of the fuss was about. The thing is... The ones I have suck. Now, one of them seems to have weak pressure, so it could just be a bad one. However, the other one feels like it's trying to clean the back of my teeth, and it still doesn't do anything I couldn't do with paper. Sure, it might get the job done slightly faster, but I still need to use paper to at least dry off after I'm done.
Maybe a better one could change my mind, but for us, they sit there, mostly unused.
Yep, bidet people are suuuuuper-fucking-weird to the point of having some kind of anal fixation.

You have to exercise some common sense and not just believe everything you read on the internet. I'm sorry that you burned yourself.
Testing that just now it recommends 37-40. So like I said, they're improving rapidly and they will be the best way to search for information.

Did you type home row style?
Yeah that's how I learned to type all the way back in middle school.

Your clown college phoned and said you're out - too silly

- Game of Thrones, final season notwithstanding
- South Park. I was around when it first came out, and I avoided it for about a decade because everyone I knew who loved it was an annoying cunt.
- The Uncharted games, particularly #4
- Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt + DLCs
Things I was right to avoid and sorely wish I had continued avoiding:
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Jesus fuck.

I was the same with South Park. So it's just kids that swear a lot? No thanks.
Years later I caught an episode and was impressed. Then I went back and the first season is also good.

Again, im sorry that you burned yourself after uncritically following instructions from a chatbot. Just like with search engines you cannot take the results as gospel.

Sometimes I use chatgpt for questions when I don't want to sift through garbage but I detest doing this. This only points out that search engines have got so shit they have to use other shit to get me decent results.
For crypto, mostly it's cryptobros tryna make a quick buck with only some people using Monero on the dark web. I do hope one day we can use Monero to purchase things though.

Infinity War was completely worth the hype. I wasn't quite as enthralled with Endgame, but it wasn't bad.

Yes there are cryptobros speculating on the currency but it doesnt change much IMO. You dont have to wait to buy things with crypto its already there in a lot of places.
