I hope people aren’t under the impression that Lemmy is about privacy.
Arguably it’s even less private than Reddit, as at least Reddit has some sort of controls on who can access your data i.e. whoever pays.
But on Lemmy, that’s free with federation. Maybe not the same granular tracking data, but enough of users personal data is available as to not consider Lemmy to be a privacy centric service.

Add more water to pancake batter, thin it out, and you can absolutely get them that thin and flexible.
Source: I do it all the time with homemade scratch pancake batter, especially if it’s been in the fridge for a day.
Might be workable if you settle on combining only 2 to 3 keys (small, medium, large) per hex.
Or, learn metallurgy and material science to find some new polymer or alloy that would be strong enough.
But honestly, it sounds like a really expensive endeavor that even if you made it work, isn’t practical enough to justify the cost.
Maybe something like the universal socket wrench style could influence a design that’s workable as a multi-hex, and be made cheaply enough.
AliExpress is not even close to Amazon except for the fact that it does a great job at providing a wide selection of Chinese products, but cheaper and with longer lead times.
What makes Amazon, Amazon, is its customer service. Without that, it’s like eBay. But even eBay has significantly better customer service than AliExpress.
Speaking as someone who has used AliExpress a lot, it’s pretty good, but only if you understand that all sales are final. Best cast scenario, the seller makes you pay for shipping which generally costs anywhere from 50% to 250% of your original purchase price.
Their customer service always defers to sellers in my experience, and even if they approve a return, what’s the point if you lose money by shipping it back?
