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.

Keys, wallet, phone for me

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.

Similar, but without the buttplug

Butt where's the fun in that ?

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.

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.
