Filled my chair with coins
As the title says, I filled the cylinder of my chair with coins.
After being used for six years, the pressure of my chair failed completely and could no longer rise. I found online that the gas cylinder can be changed, but when I tried to remove it, it wouldn't budge even when hammering it sideways. Still unwilling to just buy a new chair, I decided to fill it with something to keep the piston extended and looked around. After passing glass marbles, I found my box of pennies I collected for years.
It took four tries, two snapped tooth floss, and around 2-3 hundred coins but I managed to get it filled to almost max height.
I saved money but I also used money
