WOWEE
As my great grandfather used to say: “specitacals, testicles, wallet and watch”
My wallet has been replaced by earbuds as i can use my phone for payments, but like to listen to podcasts on the go.
EDC THREAD, SQUARE UP!
sound of 20 Glocks hitting a table
i love edc stuff but i am always questioning myself on how tf those people carry everything without always thinking about the 20 things in their pockets
My dumbass is always over here going
…but if their phone is on the table, what took the photo?
View the keys, wallet, and cell phone as the necks connecting the bodies to the heads above.
What do I need a wallet for? I can use my phone to pay everywhere nowadays.
I kind of like not religiously following digital payments. They’re governed by Visa and other payment companies, and some of the businesses near me have started feeling an increased squeeze from them. They sometimes appreciate cash payments.
Just need a magnetic card holder on the back of my phone, for my driver license and registration. Even the car opens and starts with a card. And my home has a smart lock, which I can open from my phone. So keys are not needed either.
And then that priceless moment when the battery dies.
Maybe if turkey supported NFC better, plus going outside without an id card is never a great option
You never know when you might need bills or your ID, even in a state with contactless payments everywhere and a digital ID, it’s better to have a backup.
In the last 15 years, the only time I’ve ever used cash was to buy coke.
That’s all it’s good for nowadays. Buying drugs.
And privacy? I use cash whenever I can
I almost never use digital payments. Between the processing fees and lack of privacy, cash is always better for both parties. You spend less when you carry cash also.
I used this meme to get ready today but I messed up and accidentally left the house with keys, wallet, and Stalin
Just remember WOWEE
Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch.
I say this every morning, so I don’t forget my testicles when I leave the house.
Don’t forget the flask of Scotch.
Glasses has entered chat
Yeah, I thought this meant like UK was the keys to the allies getting a real foothold in Europe, America was the one providing the funding and Russia…
…is a cell phone?
I think I overthought this meme.
Russia…
…is a cell phone?
The Soviets did invent them.
Cell phones were invented in America, weren’t they?
Leonid Kupriyanovich, a Moscow engineer, developed a series of experimental pocket-sized radios in the 1950s and 1960s:
- In 1957, Kupriyanovich patented a wireless phone device that weighed about 3 kg.
- In 1961, he presented a portable phone that weighed 70 grams and could fit in the palm of your hand.
- Kupriyanovich’s radiotelephones shared a common base station, which we now call a cell tower.
- Kupriyanovich’s “Altay” radio-based cell network was used by emergency services and remained popular after the fall of the Soviet Union.
However, the Soviet bureaucracy prioritized using early cell phone research to develop car phones for the Soviet upper ranks instead of mass producing cell phones for the general public.
So should we give credit to people like Marconi and Tesla for inventing what we know today as the cell phone? I suppose the delineation isn’t necessarily so clear.
So should we give credit to people like Marconi and Tesla for inventing what we know today as the cell phone?
For the telephone, certainly. And for a host of other radio-based technology. You should probably include Michael Faraday and James Maxwell.
But Kupriyanovich holds the patent on wireless telephones, specifically.
Didn’t some dude from Motorola do that?
Martin Cooper, but I think maybe UnderpantsWeevil was making a joke.
Phones in 2035 be like:
Fuck the Big 3, it’s just me!
You drop your phone. Your keys and wallet: Fool! You thought you could live without us!
That’s why I got the 2035 biist™ implant, you can’t lose it!

Not compatible with any 2034 or 2036 appliances. Please see your local neurosurgeon for an upgrade.
My phone NEVER leaves my side, that’s not a big issue. And thankfully my wallet is 99% obsolete, as most of the cards are already in my phone, and the few that aren’t fit in my flip case. Keys are another story, fuck keys! Bulky loud ass bullshit! I’d love a keychain that could live in my phone or have the format of a card.
My Renault car has a pretty neat card that auto locks and unlocks the car. I just keep it in my breast pocket (or backpack in the summer) and forget about it.
There are electronic keys. NFC and the like. Better yet, if you have a smart watch it can act like a key.
