Yes it is a stanley dupe. But it is SO MUCH BETTER.
the straw mouthpiece can be folded down so that it’s not open to the air all the time and it’s actually leakproof. The sheer size of this vessel doubles as a weapon when fully filled w water. The insulation works so well for hot&cold drinks. Mine keeps ice cubes unmelted for almost 24 hrs. The wide lid opening makes it easy to clean the inside. The handle is so solid and perfect. I have dropped her many times and she is sturdy. You will never have to suffer the fate of running out of water too early… and the size of this thing + the straw makes you drink so much more water. If you dont want to use a straw, there’s a sip mouthhole for hot drinks. Basically everything a Stanley bottle is, but addresses all it’s short comings.
I bought mine for less than $30CAD after tax at winners but you can buy it online on their website for like $25USD.
ALSO LIFETIME WARRANTY which I have already claimed once bc my lid was getting gross (one caveat but oh well)
Everywhere I go people always ask me about my giant water bottle. I love her.

This water bottle is supposed to usurp the TikTok (not hockey) Stanley Cup and yes maybe I was influenced to buy it! I can't explain it but the way the straw is in this water bottle is so satisfying and it doesn't look like a straw so u don't look like a big baby. I got the 32 oz (perfect size. not too big, not too small) in Shy Marshmallow (lol) on Am*zon bc it was out of stock on the website and I liked this color...

Stanley who?!...this is literally the best water bottle I've ever used. I feel sporty spice but also hydrated. Doubles as a weapon for a late night walk. Allegedly you can put hot things in it but I've never tried. Ice stays frozen for 12+ hours. Throw it into the dishwasher any time. I have a cherry red one (for the girls).

I know it’s a fad, but I, like many people got addicted to my hydro flask because it’s like a small R2-D2 type droid that reminds you to drink water all day. I was inseparable from mine for the last tour. The sippy lid is an absolute must or else you will spill water all over yourself and your keyboard.

I made a Goodreads account recently and it asked me to rate some popular books I’d read before. Little did I know, every time I ranked a book, it would give me 5 more similar to that one, and then 5 more from that, and on and on until a neverending phylogenetic tree of books emerged on my screen.
I was on FaceTime with my friend as I did this, and we compared which books we’d both read, ones we loved, ones we got forced to read in school, ones we read as preteens, etc. But half an hour in and no end to the Goodreads algorithm, but stuck in The Very Hungry Caterpillar-y children’s book branch of the algorithm tree that I couldn’t escape, I started to get mad. So I command-Q’d chrome and called it a day.
This week I went back to organise my To Read list and to purge all the loose one-book memos on my notes app. My professor recently gave me her recommendations on queer literature and I wanted to properly organise them. On my profile it said I’d already read some 100+ books and I’d given them all 5 star ratings. Ok well now that’s pissing me off. Why is there digital clutter on my brand new account, and why did I give all that information to them anyways.? I love to categorise, but did I really need to log my readership of the individual 39 Clues books?
I feel similarly about when I first downloaded letterboxd and it made me go down a similar never ending algorithm of potential movies I’d watched before. I did spend an unreasonable amount of time swiping through those movies trying to remember if I really did watch Horton Hears a Who in 2008(?) or not.
Why do I feel the need to share this with the algorithm? genuinely what purpose does this serve me? Why am I volunteering memories from my 7 year old self when I learnt English by reading Geronimo Stilton books for the first time?
Anyways, I deleted all the past data from my Goodreads account. There’s only logs from my current reads, and the list of books I want to read next. There’s comfort in organising and seeing your life laid out in list/grid categories, like unlocking achievements on video games - oh did you know I read so and so and yeah I was a pretentious little bitch in high school and every YA book I read in 2013 has gotta be logged and
But there’s another type of comfort in keeping that information away from the internet where they’ll find a way to use that data against you. I can‘t think of a single occasion I’d need personalised ads for the chick-lit books I read in primary school but I know the algorithm is going to eventually find a way to sell my nostalgia back to me somehow… I‘m going to open any of my little apps and see hyper specific #ad on my screen.
I know I’ve given so much of me away online already - and look what I’m doing right now(!) , sharing my interests and recommendations to strangers online hah .. I won’t lie about the fact that it brings me joy to live online - it’s been my playground for so much of my life - Like sorry I am literally the internet explorer -But there was a time before I lived on the internet. I don’t think they need to know everything about Then.
I recommend not giving up everything about yourself to the machine

Holding a physical paperback is one of the Core Experiences of reading pleasure— but the option of having your book at all times, no matter the lighting, body position or situation, is going to make you so much more likely to read.
The way you can read for 5 minutes, text your friend, check notifs and seamlessly come back to your page is kind of brainrot but you know what. Idgaf :33
For me, the convenience of skipping a trip to the library and just downloading an epub file is one of the purest indulgences of instant gratification… very gluttonous but it feels very Nice
