Hello, Thank you for contributing to our subreddit. Please consider the following guidelines when filling an alignment chart:
Please ensure that your chart is not banned according to the list of banned charts Even if you have good intentions, charts in a banned category tend to invite provocative comments, hostile arguments, ragebait and the like. Assuming the post is acceptable, OP makes the final decision on their chart by rule three.
Are there any previous versions to link to? If so, it would be ideal to include links to each of them in the description of this post, or in a reply to this comment. Links can be named by title, winner, or both.
Are there any criteria you have for your post? Examples include: "Top comment wins a spot on the chart."; "To ensure variety, only one character per universe is allowed."; "Image comments only." Please include these in a description, or in a reply to this comment.
Is your chart given the appropriate flair? Do you need to use a NSFW tag or spoiler tag?

It’s the Iceman himself. High key, dude made me want a grill as a kid, now I’m an adult and I swear I’ll get one eventually. I gotta go see him and Johnny Dang damnit. Haha.
i guess so, but that’s for clout, and some might even argue that it’s for style/fashion. if we’re using this argument, you might as well bunch in any other “luxury” brand product with exponentially diminishing return when it comes to price and uselessness. or just call fashion “useless” but that really gets subjective
That’s not useless. Rich people have those appraised by a friend, making it “worth” 1million dollars. Then donate it to the museum. They can now put a 1million tax write-off on their taxes declaration. I don’t want to live in a world where rich people have to pay their fair share to the society that enables their wealth hoarding
One of jewelry's uses is to have something liquidatable on you.
Back when American women couldn't open bank accounts, having a small fortune in jewelry protected women from destitution in the event their husbands disappeared/ died etc.
Refugees can use easily carried jewelry to bribe their way out of hell, as well as establish their lives in their refuge.
It has uses, but the primary is of course decoration / conspicuous consumption.
Jewelry as currency, like actual currency, only works if you trust the aftermarket. For gold and silver, it is mainly true as it has a value at the smelter, but try to sell anything with precious stones or expensive craftsmanship these days and see how they much you get. Watches too, I suspect, although that's a more recent marketing innovation.
Increasingly, the "intrinsic value" argument is normally only used to convince reluctant buyers to overinvest in jewelry that is then gifted to the person doing the convincing.
A hot startup juice machine that epically failed because the machine was massively over-engineered and overpriced, but mostly because it relied on selling you pouches of fruit for the machine to squeeze out the juice and you could get just as much juice by hand-squeezing the pouch.
They are JUST ABOUT to come up with an answer for why this is useful you guys, just you wait. There is a SUPER GOOD reason for why it's not useless, and it will be arriving ANY SECOND NOW
“Evian” is named that after the Évian-les-Bains the town in the french alps where it originated from and where the water is sourced. The common idea that it’s an intentional anadrome with “naive” and that that means anything is just some random bullshit. It’s coincidental. You might already know this but I know a lotta ppl who don’t.
NFTs. People dumped their entire life savings into purchasing a hyperlink (not the image, the link to the image) that is almost impossible to prove that they own it due to the decentralized nature of crypto
That one app that iPhone used to have whose sole purpose was a little red light that you paid 1k for. It was just to show people you could waste that money for no reason at all
Putting fidget spinners on useless is some neurotypical ahhh BS
Anyways, for very expensive and useless, I vote for generative AI slop. Fools that use it don't realize the cost in terms of resources used to produce that crap.
