What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?
I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.

I needed a "lap desk" or something to put my laptop on, but I wanted it to be low-profile and I could only find a wooden cutting board. Now wooden cutting boards are the only thing I use as lap desks because most actual lap desks I find are super bulky.
I read that as “fap desk” was intrigued then disappointed.
For fap desk you really want silicone
Just cut a hole in the cutting board
That's how you end up getting a cutting board stuck on your dick.
Duuuude. That's a creative idea I might also use if I need a lap desk again. And something easy for if you need to put a laptop on a soft surface, won't be wobbly like the bean bag ones.
I also ended up doing this after my dad suggested it as an idea... and it's actually a really great suggestion, they work fantastically well for this purpose!
Yeah it's exactly what I was looking for! The one I'm currently using was actually the only cutting board that was big enough in the store that I was in, so it has goofy cookings decals all over it 😂
It's a charcuterie board, not a cutting board, its for parties, the illustrations are telling you what kinds of snacks to put out. What a cool idea for a lap desk, it's so pretty and unique.

Ah that makes sense. I've only seen charcuterie boards that have the trays carved into the wood. Either way, it works!
Mine is pretty plain; honestly, I find yours appealing in a sort of artistic way haha
The "epicurian" brand is perfect for this, or their knockoffs. Its like 1/4" thick (6mm) composite wood. I have one that even fits in my laptop bag - way better than any designated "lap board" I've ever found.
That's what I ended up using as well. Best ten euro
