Maybe something you learned the hard way, or something you found out right before making a huge mistake.

E.g., for audiophiles: don't buy subwoofers from speaker companies, and don't buy speakers from subwoofer companies.

You know when you're walking around town at night and see those neon shop signs saying they're open? Well *warm smiles*, that's me.

If I see a shop without a neon sign, I happily walk in and offer to sell them one for a ยฃ1000. If they refuse, I threaten to smash in their windows and burn down the shop with them in it. I then leave with a happy customer and add a little more neon magic into the world.

You're welcome, world.

Edit: For Context

Are they still neon? I would've thought led was more common. Either way thank you for the work you do.

It's funny how many people say that, but LED just doesn't have the same diffuse glow, and doesn't stand up well to repeated blows with a pipe.

And of course, you're welcome!

Lots are LED since it's way more energy efficient.
