Nothing particularly original, but it's mine, so here goes.

Earfun Free 2: good for listening to podcasts on the go.
House keys: well, duh.
Olight imini: handy and really tiny flashlight.
Mini push dagger: oldest thing in there, got it more than 20 years ago. Says "United" & "Taiwan" on the sheath, so it likely is from United Cutlery.
Kershaw Launch 11: my current all-time favorite pocket knife. Small enough to fit in a 5th pocket (but not "deep-carry"), yet handles really well with my not-too-meaty hands.
Bellroy Card Sleeve Black: small enough to keep credit cards and such in regular pants' front pockets.
Zippo Lighter Spectrum: really a fidget toy for me since I do not smoke, so pretty though !
Kleenex mini pocket tissues: the runny nose unwavering companion.

Not on picture: Samsung Galaxy S20 with a Spigen Tough Armor case.

Digging the zippo was thinking of getting a butane insert for mine (I also dont smoke)

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Some of them are not great. The classic zippo naphtha and wick style is more reliable, despite evaporation. Honestly a Bic is more trustworthy despite the unstylishness of them.

Yeah I have also considered it. It's quite wasteful to refill with lighter fluid that mostly evaporates since I do not use it all that much. I fear it will not feel like a zippo anymore with a butane insert though.

I dig the keychain buttplug, bold of you to post it here

[–] NeryK@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Got me good there, you scamp 🤣

I do see it, now that you mention it.

But no pen??? What kind of animal are you?

[–] NeryK@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

The kind that lives in the 21th century 😜

Kidding aside, pens are relegated in my bag, which usually contains the wallet with ID, work laptop, noise-cancelling headset, hand sanitizer, glasses case, etc. Thus it's sort of EDC but not really.

Similar, but without the buttplug

[–] NeryK@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Butt where's the fun in that ?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Keys, wallet, phone for me

Aren't push daggers illegal in the US?

As other have said, varies by state.

Rather be carried by 6 than judged by 12 on that.

I think you have your saying backward.
