Kind of related but one thing I like I do on occasion is check out various enthusiasts subreddits for niche things and see what the community go to is. Like AA batteries and how Eneloop batteries are the gold standard.
Fun way to kill an hour and find some neat stuff.
Browsing the mechanical keyboard sub, the buy it for life sub, and any other subs like that was amazing and such a deep rabbit hole for the first time!
EDC is another one
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Honestly, for the batteries, get the same capacity ones from Ikea. Significantly cheaper and the actual cell inside is identical.
Are they as good as the Eneloop ones? They’ve been a game changer for me.
As I am from Europe, I’m pretty sure I only know the European ones
Edit: sorry, completely misread. Yes they are literally the same except for the name on the outside. Same battery cell made in the same factory.
when the flashlight is so powerful you need safety glasses
I see Robert Evans I upvote
Especially if he’s talking about doing some really irresponsible but fun shit.
He’s how I found out about the Flipper Zero!
Edit: 13,000 lumens in a pocketable flashlight that’s just longer than the width of my palm.
Know anything a little cheaper? I’m down for something bigger too. Just want to impress my friends on the next camping trip.
Nothing of a comparable brightness off the top of my head. It’s on sale for $104 from their website if you get it there instead of from Amazon though.
I found this larger 14,000 lumen one from Emisar for $88, but no batteries are included, so you’d also need to buy 3 high drain 18650 batteries (~$20 total) and a charging cradle for them ($18 from Emisar) separately.
Thanks!
Second Emisar. I suggest looking through ZeroAir for some recommendations on where to get started with chargers. Or if you’re a masochist who likes details, this is pretty thorough.
If we’re going mutually assured destruction we’re going high CRI
Also checking that it’s running Anduril 2
Just so everyone knows, I’m going to use this entire thread for ideas. My brother would love a good flashlight.
A bright flashlight is very fun

Isn’t this the guy that said he’s staying on X instead of moving to mastodon?
You say that like only one guy has done it…
I remember this person specifically because of the douchey rant they posted and people clinging on their nuts.
Hey, he’s also doing the lords work on there. After JBP posted some kink picture thinking it was some chinese consparacy, Robert Evans replied to every tweet of his with that picture to harrass the dumbass.
Robert’s also an anarchist who hosts behind the bastards which I strongly recommend.
Douchey rant?
I would also like to know about this. But I don’t have the intestinal fortitude to dredge through twitter posts. Anyone have a direct link?
