What other things have options where everything is so bad that it's a matter of "what sucks the least" rather than "what's the best"? (lemmy.ml)

lumber from home depot

Any big box store, for sure. That shit will even warp days after you get it home.

Man mine was warping MONTHS after I got it home. This was especially brutal as a handtool woodworker with ADHD. Plane boards flat, get side tracked, come back and BOOM cupped to shit. Plane it flat again, and BOOM cupped again to shit. It took 6 months for it to finally stabilize, and by that point I have planed it flat literally 5 times.

At this point why dont people just fucking use greenwood instead of dimensional lumber, about equally as dry at least, and way cheaper.
