(Useless/Surprising) Magical Items
So I was having a lovely conversation with @princeofsparrows about magic and magical items and he sent me several links to very useful lists and tables. Those can be used by any DM to improve the game and set some more fun/challenge into the game without adding enemies or limiting themselves to always better armors and weapons.
My players usually discuss for an hour about the best way to open every door with a single rune on it (even if the rune actually just means “toilets”). So if I give them an omniously glowing fork and they will turn around it for half of the evening…
We decided to share with you some links with awesome ideas for loot (or your NPC merchants). The links below include (but are not limited to):
Belt of Pants: This belt creates illusory pants on the wearer. The wearer can suppress the illusion at will.
Digging Spoon: This tiny spoon can dig through any substance with a forceful push.
Hungry coin: Cursed. Will attempt to eat other coins that it comes into contact with. Eats 100 coins an hour.
Crossbow of Whispers (Weapon, light crossbow): You can use an action to whisper a message and fire a bolt from this weapon at a target within range. If you hit, the target (and only the target) hears the message.
Scroll of Cure Blindness: Cures blindness when read.
So… The List™ :
Dakhem Uaid’s Big Book of Useless Magic Items - 200 items, some very useful some dangerous…
Alacrity’s Robe of Useful Items - 1 single item but it’s a robe of holding (kinda)
Goblin Punch: d100 Minor Magical Items - as stated in the title.
100 Interesting Magic Items: The first half - 50 items
donjon, 5e Random Generator - Weird Magic Item generator
RPG.NET - 101 Silly/Useless Magic Items - You need to read through 7 pages of the thread but there are some very nice ideas!
1001 most useless (dungeons and dragons) magical items - There are actually 21 of them on this list but they are really useless. It could be nice to drop something like that on the players so they can have some fun…
Now I will let @princeofsparrows to continue. He still has some things to add :)

The great thing about a lot of these items is that, despite their apparent uselessness, as with most things in D&D, an innovative player can find some use for it… and I feel it throws a bit of a wrench into the mix. Here are some other honorable mentions:

A bonkers Yuuri!!! On Ice dream
I was Viktor going to get lunch for Yuuri, by the time I rounded the corner I was in a lunch room and I was Buggs Bunny? I got my food and started looking for a clean fork next to Michael Bluth who is just like "Cafeterias, am I right?". I get a clean fork, I'm Daffy Duck and spilling my drink everywhere on the way back. When I reach Yuuri, I am Viktor again. Yuuri has gorged himself on rice and I pout about how we were supposed to eat together, rubbing my cheek to his. Then we're suddenly in the world's largest airport and now I'm Yuuri? And I'm with Viktor and Yurio. But they are walking fast and are so much farther ahead. I get sad, they dont need me. They're leaving me. So I slow to a snail's pace. I expect them to be gone by the time I arrive. But I get there and they both are there looking relieved to see me. They said they didn't board after they noticed I was missing. I sit down and cry in relief, having thought I was being abandoned. Yurio holds one of my hands without looking at me, "Stupid pig, how can we forget someone so annoyingly needy?". Viktor holds the other, his ring sparkling, "We're bound together aren't we?" Fucking group hug. Its beautiful. Then we're at a water park because I don't fucking know? You ask a dream to make sense. I'm still Yuuri, but Yurio isn't there? Maybe he didn't come or maybe he's off somewhere trying to discover a breed of water cats, idk. I'm refusing to get out of the shallow water because I don't properly know how to swim. So Viktor says he's going to swim a little and just watch him. But the park, like the airport is nonsensically hooge. So I loose sight of him. Now I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, because, the fuck? Why not? And rally a bunch of merpeople and mind flayers to join my crew?? Viktor shows up and now I'm merman Viktor who for some reason when he swims creates a rainbow behind him, lol. I'm on the search for Yuuri, any time I step out of water I get legs again. Thanks, dream convenience! I get to listen to the wonderful way I (Viktor) call "Yuuri!". I find my poor husband to be off in a corner, being overwhelmed by the amount of people at the park and that he couldn't find me. So we chill, huddled together until he calms down. I woke up around here, but I assume after that, Yuuri probably asked if it was okay to go home for the day and a very understanding Viktor went with him. So yeah, aside from Looney Toons, Arrested Development, and Jack Sparrow, I had my first YOI dream! Lol
Slight AFK again. Net's out, still no new job, but when the office wifi which my former boss was nice enough to let me keep using is nice to me, I'll be around every now and then! So you can still reach me, it just might take a little longer to reply until that gets sorted out!

Lookit.
Woke up at 4:30pm thinking it was 10am. My whole day is gone. Anywho, I think I wanna try and stream commissions a bit on Sunday. Not sure, tho. Any interest?
one of my favorite things in Brooklyn Nine Nine is when you can tell the writers were like “you know, Andre Braugher is an extremely talented Shakespearean actor who graduated top of his class at Juilliard…..what if we took advantage of that for our sitcom”

so why did the guy in Resident Evil 7 think it’d be safe to enter a derelict house in the middle of the swamp bc he got an e-mail from his dead wife
baby-kraid
he’s white
I’m going to tell you that there are people who would 100% go to that house. I had a friend who in the dead of night let a stranger, who only communicated in scraps of paper, into his car{of his own freewill, guy didn’t threaten him or anything}. Guy demands money and to be driven somewhere. They dropped the guy off at a gas station, which isn’t where the guy wanted them to take him, and later realized a car had followed him the whole time the guy was in the car. When we said “wtf who lets a random person in their car at 2am” he told us he’d never been in that situation before so he wasn’t sure what to do. I know if he were put into that situation he would do the same thing, but he’d probably eat the food in the beginning to not be rude
How is that person even alive right now?
THAT WAS REAL
Hm. It seems my panties have dropped.
