What's an absurd luxury you pine for?

ICE MAKER
Infinite ice whenever you want, uh, yes, add to cart
Bread maker. Fresh bread all the time with minimal effort. Takes too much space and isn't worth the spend

Kitty holsters.
A kitten in a holster on each side. Ready for anything as long as i got my kitty holstersHow about a hammock chest holster, so you're always snuggling?

Private Jet. Not because I want to live like a billionaire but because I friggin hate going through TSA and lately every time I travel the airlines seem to have little value-add over just driving.
TSA Precheck. Yes, it’s borderline extortion but it really is a LOT faster and more stress free at major hubs.

Ah, I see you have a Samsung refrigerator.

My wife wanted an ice maker. Thought it a silly idea but indulged her nonetheless. Well, turns out I freaking love it. Well worth the investment in my opinion
Same, I even had a fridge that included one and I never bothered to hook it up, I thought it was stupid because it took up valuable freezer space. Then one day I rented an apartment that had one and found out that boy was I ever wrong, living in a tropical country these things are an absolute godsend.

What color do you want your dragon?

Not every kitchen has the plumbing for it.
A plumber can fix that in a couple of hours

A autonomous driving electric camper with a bed and auto-find free parking space, Solar roof.
This one honestly sounds amazing, it could be like an overnight train

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.

10,000 acres of land in the northern mountains, with all associated rights (mineral, water, etc.).
I really, really, really don't want to have neighbors. I already live in a rural area, and I still have neighbors 1/4 mile away that blast their music at 11pm loud enough to make out the lyrics. I want to be able to see the stars at night with no light pollution, and see wildlife that's barely seen people.

I'm already waiting for my interview. But it's more than that. It's having to go through it at all. It's their treatment of people. It's the super spreader event that is an aircraft and an airport. It's the treatment of people by the airlines and the whole schedule thing. It's dealing with other passengers. I live in Florida, yup the crazy one. In the last four flights I've taken it took 20 hours to get home from Canada, 36 hours to get home from Tennessee and 15 hours to get home from Colorado. I mean WTF!
I took a private airplane once and I parked for free at Signature services, walked into a, large mostly empty lobby area with free cookies and got on the plane. When I got back, the crew, and I swear I'm not making it up, actually brought out a red carpet. It was ridiculously short, like 2 feet, with a ridiculously short velvet rope to match it. I walked through the same lobby, grabbed a cookie and hopped in my car and went home. That was it. Friggin fantastic. I do admit this was prior to 9/11. Since I'm not privy to such treatment normally I've never taken another private flight so I don't know how much has changed. But THAT'S the way to travel... unless the OP meant something like a teleporter instead.
Also I'm not sure it's borderline extortion. Feels like flat out extortion, but I see your point.

Keep an eye out at thrift shops-- I've seen huge tranches of Star Trek novels.
Upvoted just because I've been meaning to look up the definition of tranche and you reminded me. Thank you.

A proper (CNC) milling machine and lathe, like ones you can work hardened steel with. Lots of better things you could buy for that money, but with a mill and lathe i could make those things for even more money!

I bought a tabletop ice maker from Costco for $80 three years ago, and have never ever regretted it. It doesn't pull a lot of power and works pretty fast.
The downside is cleaning it, it's cheap so you can't easily break it down and rebuild it, so you've got to get creative.

A large property in the woods with a river running through it. I can literally setup my own mini power generation source if the stream is powerful enough. So I get be at least partly off-grid.
