I start by opening a few tabs with various search queries, some of which are usually scoped to Reddit or HN. That usually kicks open a few more tabs, and maybe some dedicated forums or Shopify stores. Then the hyperfocus takes me, and I stray out of thought and time, and I wander far through hundreds of tabs. I become an expert on the multi-decade rivalries between vacuum cleaner manufacturers, the nuanced multi-dimensional calculus of coffee grinders, and the intricate supply chain dynamics of family-owned towel-makers. And then I throw down my credit card, the stars wheel overhead, and every day feels as long as a life age of the Earth... until the UPS driver arrives. At last, I have my hard-earned morsel of capitalism.
