An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I know it's weird but that little bit of promo swag had been on my keychain across 4 cars and now my keys are weirdly light. It makes me kind of sad.
Edit: I knew y'all would understand. I'm going to try the epoxy idea on my next day off. Your responses have turned a crummy day into a great one.
Bummer, perhaps it can be repaired? By the way, be very careful about sharing photos of keys, it is often quite easy to produce a duplicate key from a photo.
I did think of that. The key visible in the photo is a dummy key that goes to a lock that I've misplaced.
Checkmate, key stealers!
The lock stealers beat them to the punch!
This rather relies on an attacker also knowing where any of your locks are located, and any of them being heavy duty enough that it wouldn't simply be more expedient to show up with a crowbar. I'd be much more concerned if I were showing off keys to the premises of a well known commercial enterprise and also let people know it.
The issue with a crowbar is if people see you, it's kinda sus. Bring a key and no one thinks twice. You can do it in broad daylight.
However, put a reflective vest on, carry a clipboard in your other hand and you can do whatever you want with that crowbar!
That or posting your house keys on Facebook or something, where most of the people seeing it live near you. We on Lemmy generally don't even know who the other person is, so it'd be a ton of effort to use this information.
Gee, I really hope nobody does that.
*nudge nudge*
Its significantly easier to pick almost any lock
Possibly, but walking up with a pre-made key (or a few if you aren't 100% sure) is way more inconspicuous than breaking out yourracoon dick pick and trying to get lucky.
Edit: I had a random ebay seller able to make a key for my motorcycle just from a picture. And it worked the first time, so it can't be that hard.
I have snap decoder on my phone and insta code live.
First is an easy picture to bitting app and the second is used by locksmiths to get precise key cuts, combo lock codes and such.
Most keys are trivial to decide with a decent photo.
🤨
Will they duplicate the keychain for op?
