Likewise, flushing the toilet and the shit disappears.

While I am trying to use the internet less since the past 2 years or so, I will freak out if it ceases to exist completely.

I wouldn't even call it a luxury. Hasn't been for years.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I miss when it was a luxury. Pretty fun times if you ask me.

You bring up an interesting point.

Most people wouldn't consider a cup of tea to be luxurious at all. But if tea was scarce and you only got one cup a year, it would seem absolutely amazing, a special occasion and you'd really savour the experience.

There's definitely something to be said for luxury which is much more about rarity or restriction rather than the experience itself.

Coffee. Can't even stop drinking it when I'm sick bc I feel like ten times worse.

[-] 13esq@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I gave up caffeine a few years ago and I was really surprised by how easy it was and how little I missed it.

Maybe it's different for me but caffeine ended up being much more of a habit rather than something I thought I needed.

Break me? No. Really depress my mood? Probably no longer having Plex and my media collection. If my hard drives and back-ups all spontaneously combusted right after a trade war drove their prices through the roof x5 or something and I couldn't afford to replace (and/or couldn't find any to replace because of shortages) I would be quite sad. Additionally I've worked quite hard to curate my collection so losing it entirely in the first place would be depressing because of the amount of work required to rebuild it, encoding, scraping hard to scrape rarities, setting the posters just the way I like them, etc.

I would be devastated. I have three backups at the moment, but thinking about a fourth.

[-] icedterminal@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I was going to post this exact reasoning but you beat me to it.

High-quality food. For me, food is one of the main sources of enjoyment, and if instead I'll have to shove something down my throat just to satisfy hunger, I'll get very depressed very quickly.

Housing. (Again)

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

I don't know, maybe oxygen.

As a diving instructor once told me, Air is overrated.

My headphones. I just love listening to music way too much.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Well luckily for you, apparently it's now acceptable to just blast your music out loud in public.

[-] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 2 points 5 days ago

Chocolate.

Proper chocolate, not the shit that Cadbury turn out since it was bought by the cheese people.

No wonder they lost their royal warrant. That's the first thing that Charlie has done since the Prince's Trust that has really impressed me.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

That's super interesting, I actually like him a bit now because of that
