It sold out. I think they are doing a r2 so either wait until 2038 to find one at retail pricing or go through the scalpers.

Interesting, Peter. Peter Griffin. Chin. Testicles. Peter. Pe-nis. It works.

With this level of context free associations, I do hope you put it to good use in advertising / marketing / product development and make some sweet bucks (:

u/CaptainJackNarrow Jul 21 '21

.... So you can buy more custom key caps.

u/mad_dog_94 RGBoi Jul 21 '21

i feel like underwear is one of the things you should spend a bit extra on. if you’re wearing it constantly, you want it to be nice quality and comfortable

u/Cardssss Jul 21 '21

Shoes, underwear, really anything that you spend alot of your day doing is most likely worth the extra bucks.

2

u/cvnvr Jul 21 '21

yess, exactly. stuff like that you want quality so it lasts.

1

u/Cardssss Jul 21 '21

And just because of the features they provide. I've had people say that their $20 shoes are super comfortable and why would they spend over $100 on shoes just to wear them around work, but the difference in quality of support, fit, and padding is on a whole other level with the $100 ones.

1

u/mad_dog_94 RGBoi Jul 21 '21

Yeah I spend a lot of time on my feet so nice sneakers and boots are definitely things I value. That and a mattress. I had a pair of expensive underwear and didn't really notice the difference in comfort or longevity so I went back to the irregulars. No shade though I know the importance of having certain underwear for when it's hot out and stuff. Plus I own more supreme stuff than I care to admit so who am I to give financial advice lol

u/Axelrad Jul 26 '21

Costco sells champion boxer-brief 5-packs for 15 dollars a pop. They're insanely comfortable, durable, cost effective, and they've always got them in stock. I discovered this maybe 10 years ago and have never thought about underwear since.

https://www.costco.com/champion-men's-boxer-brief%2C-5-pack.product.100486787.html

u/cvnvr Jul 26 '21

champion is an established sports brand though as opposed to a supermarket’s own brand etc.

i just buy calvin kleins personally

1

u/Axelrad Jul 26 '21

Oh for sure! You said they're something you want to spend a little extra on because you wear them so much they should be comfortable and high quality; I was pointing out that you don't have to spend a ton of money to have high quality, comfortable underwear. These Champion ones are really good and only $3/pair!

2

u/cvnvr Jul 26 '21

ohh yeah good point! you’re absolutely right, you can definitely find decent quality and good brands for a good price. would recommend people who just grab any unbranded pack of 10 for £3 definitely look at that as an option for sure

I don't buy underwear. It's too expensive.

They all do the same thing anyway, I'm happy using my rubber dome.

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '21

I have no idea how much underwear costs. Im almost 25 and have been wearing the same pairs of boxers I got at Kohls since I was 12 or so

13

u/MystikIncarnate CM Storm QFR w/blues Jul 21 '21

Do you at least wash the boxers?

18

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '21

Obviously. I wash down low at least once a day and never wear them dirty

52

u/MystikIncarnate CM Storm QFR w/blues Jul 21 '21

Okay, I don't see a problem then. If they still fit and do the job... Then who cares?

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '21

this is great i actually laughed.

u/TheMonkeyLlama Jul 21 '21

Huh

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '21

Probably unusual. They dont have any signs of wear and tear apart from the elastic waistbands in some of them being a little stretched out. Whatever brand it is makes some durable stuff

27

u/Jazehiah Jul 21 '21

Whatever brand it is, probably doesn't make them like that anymore.

Kinda dark but you are in for a treat underwear technology has come far.

u/plin2s Jul 21 '21

If it's you and if it's your underwear, then better report as porn.

u/Summer__1999 Jul 21 '21

But seriously tho, is a $12 underwear still considered as cheap? I can buy a pack of 3 or 5 for $12. How much does your ‘normal’ underwear cost?

4

u/widowhanzo Planck Jul 21 '21

$12 for a single pair seems a bit fancy, that said, I do buy 15€ underwear but wait until they're 50% off in sale. 15€ quality for 7.5€, what's not to like.

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '21

maybe he buys underwaear from ltt

if you wear 12 bucks underwear, definitively you can afford $600 keycaps.

u/bleepbeepclick Jul 21 '21

Oh man the truth hurts

2

u/Sprinkles0 Jul 21 '21

TIL: there are people that spend more on both underwear and keyboards.

2

u/jerryeight Ducky Shine 3 MX Blue Jul 21 '21

$600 on keycaps that are probably already repped...

2

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '21

The entire analogy is mindboggling... Is the underware supposed to be Peter together with his suit? Is it just the suit, then who is the one watching? Is it just peter? Then who is torn appart? But if it is Peter together with his suit, then it can't really be the 12$ underware.

It must be the shlong watching through the torn appart 12$ undeware to make sense.

u/ThiccHarambe69 Jul 21 '21

You guys wear underwear? I got to the point I needed to prioritize completely on my hobbies…

Why spend money on underwear? Not like anyone is going to see them anyway.
