I have often benefited from recommendations for Things I Didn't Know I Wanted.
Given that Less Wrong is a community of unusually intelligent, critical, and self-improvement-focused people, I suspect we can generate a pretty helpful thread of product recommendations — perhaps even a monthly thread of product recommendations.
Rules:
Post one product your recommend per comment, so they can be discussed and voted on independently.
Provide a link for purchasing the product.
No books, movies, TV, games, or music. (These should go in other threads, like this one or this one.)
I'll post my own recommendations to the comments section, too.
This probably occurs to most people, but to be explicit about the downsides:
signalling possible drug production
lack of sunlight, which can (1) serve as an optical alarm clock (2) improve mood (3) be aesthetically pleasing
I imagine that most implementations will not be aesthetically pleasing to most people
Likely to signal a lack of socialability to anyone who should have occasion to visit your bedroom - cowering from sunlight is among the most oft-cited "antisocial nerd" tropes.
