Something tells me you just like to blend in.

Whatever you get, make sure you check about whether the brand has fiberglass in the mattress (I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of the brands you mentioned in the reports). There have been numerous reports lately of tiny fiberglass shards escaping from mattresses. This (of course) puts people in danger and often requires evacuating the home. Search /r/Mattress for fiberglass for a start on your research.

Avacado is the bestI have ever had. Pricey but worth it. You have a whole tear to return it if it doesn’t work for you. Love the hybrid foam and spring configuration

Back in my day that sub was called r/ WaterNiggas but as it gained popularity, they changed it to something less...in your face. The original meme was kind of an ironic play on how water tastes vs how it's necessary for life. That's the whole joke. "damn this water actually kinda fire???" well of course it is, it's what sustains life on this earth.
There was also a specifically black sensibility to the original joke, playing off a cultural stereotype that black people don't drink water, in fact they drink anything BUT water--soda, grape juice, energy drinks etc. Mostly just a stereotype, but I remember when those memes started circulating a lot of them came from "black people twitter"
It has since devolved into a subreddit for hydration and potable water appreciation ....and that's fine too. But the real ones remember the water niggas

I don’t think so. I’ve never heard of this drop off in quality ever before from anyone in the sub.

Kirt Voreis, a rider for Niner bikes, wants me to make him a Fanny pack that looks like a world war two parachute. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make it for far too long.

You are overthinking this. Do not buy a quality knife just to abuse it. You already know the abuse you give a utility knife dulls blades. The abuse will dull a quality knife blade just as quickly.
Buy a good knife for personal use and take care of it.
The beauty of a utility knife is brand new razor sharp blades cost $0.016 each. And if your knife is stolen you can replace it for $5.99 - $22.99.
Better yet, per suggestion of redditor F-21
Carbide Utility Blades stay 10 times sharper than traditional utility blades. The steel body helps to prevent breaking of the blade. https://www.authorizedtooloutlet.com/products/dewalt-dwht11131l-carbide-utility-blades-50-pack?variant=43358774460638¤cy=USD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google+shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1OLL89n7_QIVbvbjBx2qVgbhEAQYAyABEgI7ZPD_BwE

I didn’t think of CostCo, I’ve never been a member as my parents aren’t and as a single person I don’t really have a need, but me and my roommate go every few months, she has a membership, I love their pesto
That’s a really solid answer, definitely more food and consumable related than say a Kmart or Sears but definitely more “stuff” than a grocery store

That's such a specific need that it's hard to recommend something. I doubt many people have used a $150 dollar knife in that way.
I can try to give my two cents though.
First thing is steel choice. You want something that will retain and edge but isnt so hard that it's difficult to sharpen because you will be sharpening it a lot.
Here's a good article on it. It looks like S30V is a good common steel for this purpose.

Next is grind profile. I would either go with a hollow grind or a scandi grind.
Hollow grind will slice better. Scandi grind will be tougher. Depends on if you're just cutting rubber or if you're occasionally having to cut harder things.
Either way, those two grinds are relatively easy to sharpen.
Then fixed blade or folding is just dependent on how you like to carry on the job site. Fixed blade with a good sheath will deploy faster then a folding knife but will definitely get you some looks.
Then I personally would got for a tanto style knife. Having two distinct cutting surfaces can give you a lot of flexibility as you work. Maybe you keep the tip sharp and reserved for really tough jobs. Or even sharpen the surfaces with different bevels. Or change the tip so it can actually get under the rubber sheathing.

I like the REI in-house brand wool stuff, and you can get past season colors on sale if that’s your thing.

My edc blade is a Spyderco Paramilitary. It's a bit over your budget, but it's a fair price for what you get. It's a tough, versatile knife that holds its edge forever

I’ve purchased a lot of quality items at Costco. Kitchen Aid mixer, VitaMix blender, etc. They tend to carry quality brands and their house brand, Kirkland Signature is also pretty good.
