I'm so tired of seeing ads for these things.

Where do I put my cash? Where do the coins go? Where do I keep the photo of my cat? What if I have more than 5 cards?

Why is it so expensive?

THIS IS NOT A GOD DAMN WALLET!!! You might as well tie your 3 cards with a rubber band and call that a wallet!

FUCK YOU

Capitalism can commodify even the lack of something and make you pay extra for it.

Legit my wallet

One of the most underrated things about living in China is not having to carry keys or a wallet.

Front pockets: copy of Quotations from Chairman Mao, packet of cigarettes, a lighter, and phone.

My brother had not been back in the motherland in a hot minute and the dumbass tried to buy ¥6 street food with a ¥100 bill in the 2025 and getting told they don't have change so he had to go to a Walmart to get a single pack of chewing gum so he could get change to pay for food.

not having to carry keys or a wallet.

It's great to have that option, but relying completely on your phone sounds scary. What if you drop / forget to charge / misplace it?

last few times i was in northern/western europe, i noticed people there don't use cash for some reason (some shops even refuse to take cash? ok i guess i'll just leave then), but they also don't have any modern payment systems like in developed countries. so people just pay with cards like it's 2005. so i guess for dutchies/germs/scandals/anglers this wallet is useful?

Where do I put my cash

The money clip

Where do the coins go

take a penny plate

Where do I keep the photo of my cat?

Breast pocket, closest to your heart.

What if I have more than five cards

Alright moneybags, no need to brag.

While these are overpriced, it's not really any different from a leather slim wallet.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I have more than five cards because I have a library card, driver's licence, etc...

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 6 points 5 hours ago

when will the poors finally be allowed to have library cards>:(

You just don't get it, it's the sleek tacticool wallet for the hip digital nomad. Meanwhile my broke ass has had the same fossil wallet since senior high school.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 25 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

One of the few things I still spend a bit more than minimum on is a good quality, durable wallet (last one was leather but I may look into a vegan alternative for next time. This one's only like eight or ten years old though so plenty of life still in it...

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 3 points 13 hours ago

I switched from bulky wallet to a money clip and adore it. I only need a couple cards and some cash, I don't need several layers of fabric or leather to contain that

Why can’t they invent anything besides some rectangular slab? Phone needs to be a slab, desktop needs to be a slab on a stand, we’ve got a reading slab for ebooks.

And now this slab for putting in all your small e cash slabs.

Come to humans we got:

  1. Taking a normal plant and making it so fat and juicy it'll die unless you watch it.

  2. Groups of about 50 guys for some reason!

  3. Putting colors and shiny stuff on our walls and shit.

  4. Burning a thing : )

  5. The Slab:

You're putting coins in your wallet?

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 13 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Yes. Where else am I supposed to put them?

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 5 points 14 hours ago

In a seventy pound jar in your closet

I keep coins in the small fifth pocket of my jeans, I don't like sitting on them

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 15 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That pocket is for my USB flash drive

I walk around with a cloth wallet that was made in Cuba. Holds onto everything I need and is bendy.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 15 points 19 hours ago

My wallet is vegan and made of bicycle tires and I've had it for at least seven thousand years

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 17 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

There are cute credit card shaped pocket saws with some hex sockets and angle measuring cut outs.

Used it once

[–] Nacarbac@hexbear.net 13 points 19 hours ago

I got one free at a job fair thing - and after five years the only time I remembered it and took it out of my wallet was to chuck it in the bin at the airport because it set off the scanner...

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 13 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

i could never use this because i'm a boomer who still carries a bit of cash and once in a while will save receipts

i think it's popular with the segment of the EDC crowd obsessed with hyper optimizing things including the size/weight of what they bring around

usually these types of wallets you open them and there is a series of straps that keeps things in.

Coins in your wallet? What?

ID, several credit cards, insurance cards, some cash. I have a thin unfolding wallet but it holds all of that at least.

That wallet aesthetic is for the man in your life who needs everything to be TACTICAL and all their shirts have that black and white american flag on them.

maybe that thick plastic is designed to block RFID signals too.

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Coins in your wallet? What?

What do you mean what? Do normal people put them up their ass or something? Yes, I keep coins in my wallet

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 8 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Expensive?? Lol whoever the seller is is straight up drop shipping these, you can get them for like 0.99 on temu or Aliexpress

Coins and cash are supposed to be wadded and jangling in various pockets

The photo of your cat is supposed to be tattooed on your chest

And they hold like 20 cards, idk

Here is my new sick wallet idea. It's very cool, miNiMaliST and MoDerN. I call it the Bridge wallet. Anyone wanna buy it?

[–] Commie_Chameleon@hexbear.net 12 points 18 hours ago

Put an engraving of the Punisher logo or a gun on it and I'll pay like $95

[–] BigWeed@hexbear.net 3 points 14 hours ago

I used to have a hair tie but then I cut my hair short and eventually lost it. Now I keep everything loose in my pocket like a troglodyte. Occasionally when take off my jacket all my cards will spill all over the floor.

Idk I like a smaller wallet. I got this rabbit patterned one https://www.etsy.com/listing/971088745/minimalist-card-wallet-black-keychain

[–] Jew@hexbear.net 4 points 15 hours ago

I decided to carry a tiny wallet and its one of the best changes I've ever made in my life. My butt barely ever falls asleep now

[–] CarbonConscious@hexbear.net 13 points 20 hours ago

I'm admittedly a removed for dorky gadgets, and I've been trying to find a replacement for this 10 dollar basic leather wallet ever since I got it in high school decades ago, so the idea of something like this rings my bell every time I see it.

But any time I've put a single second of thought into what actually using this type of thing on a daily basis would be like, I immediately ick. Just completely ludicrous design.

Oh good I wanted to militarize my debt creators.
