I ALWAYS bring my sunglasses with me, it doesn’t matter what the weather is, because if it gets sunny while I’m out, I need them to see because my blue eyes are hypersensitive, basically making it painful to open my eyes outside.

I wear cargo pants. I like pockets.

Top left: phone
Bottom left: tissues if I'm going hiking
Back left: nothing

Bottom right: leash, roll of dog shit bags

Clipped to belt, under waistband, right side: Sig Sauer p365 x-macro

Nope. I hold the phone with my left hand and tap it with my right.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

My phone, my wallet, more germs than your average bioweapons lab.

EDIT: Forgot the pack of tissues, because I'm always sick.

It depends on what I'm wearing as to how many pockets I have and where I'm travelling to.

The usual are

2 phones, keys, inhaler, 2 Pokémon auto catchers.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Just a stupid ring I found in a cave.

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Nice, sounds precious.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Phone, wallet, keys, and headphones

[–] jeffep@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The guilt of not living up to the expectations of my ancestors nor future generations

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Fuck em. Talking chimps, the lot of them.

Not shown in the pic: 1 meter keychain tape measure.

[–] CelloMike@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (4 children)

FYI it's possible to create duplicate keys from pictures of them, so I wouldn't recommend posting pictures of your keys online

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 21 points 2 days ago

I'm aware but not worried.

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That's true, but most people with that skill can also pick locks.

String, or nothing

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Mostly just my phone. I don't need keys because my implants let me open doors at home and at work, and I don't need a payment card because I also have a payment implant.

[–] CelloMike@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How do you fare in airport scanners?

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

They don't ring. They're much too small.

The only minor danger I was afraid of was being unable to go through MRI machines with those of my implants that have a ferrite core - i .e. small glass implants. But it turns out, they're completely unaffected - at least up to 2T, which was the strongest MRI field I went through. They do warp the MRI scan pretty badly around them though 🙂

Did you put that in yourself? It doesn't look like a small needle. Did you get a glow or light up one? How do you keep the information safe? Sorry, so many questions. And it's a lot cheaper than I was thinking.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Cellphone, keys, wallet, and my heart and soul that my daughter gave me when she was 3 (small pink plastic heart and a pearly marble; 7+ years now, leaving them out only when doing something where I might lose them).

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Now you've done it. Here come the EDC people

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago

I'm a photo nerd. Uhhh... keys, flashlight, swiss army knife, phone, pocket camera (Ricoh GR III), wallet. If I go anywhere I usually pick up a bigger camera (Nikon Z fc, or if I get serious, the D780, with 50mm / 24-120mm / 70-300mm lenses). There's also a whole lot of random mystery stuff in my bags. I don't want to think about that stuff too much, I'll just get a headache

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

If I'm going out: Phone, keys, cigarettes, lighter, wallet.

If I'm staying in: phone, weed vape.

  • Guitar pick
  • Wireless/Contactless waterproof keyfob for my car (I finally found a good use for that pocket-inside-a-pocket on jeans)
  • Snus
  • Cardholder (Regular debit card, two credit cards, misc other cards I "always" need)
  • Phone
  • Bluetooth airbuds

If I'm wearing a jacket, its pockets also adds:

  • Wallet (with passports, seamans book, misc currencies, TWIC, WHO vaccine booklet, misc warehouse access cards, a bunch of airline frequent flier cards)
  • Tiny multitool
  • Pen
  • Syringe needle that I've cut to be blunt, in a protective casing. It's excellent for those tiny reset buttons on hardware
  • USB-C cable
  • USB thumb drive

That’s not really a riddle, but I’ll give you three guesses.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

Messenger bag. I don't like carrying stuff in the pockets of my pants, jackets etc., especially sharp and heavy-ish things like keys, and I like keeping lots of stuff on me when I leave my home.

[–] sefra1@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

On my pockets:

Phone, wallet which includes ID, a disposable card (to open doors if someone forgets the keys inside), cheap wired hearbuds (in case I forget my headphones), a flash drive, transport pass, a debit card with 8 euros balance, and 3 euros cash.

On my neck:

Headphones

I sometimes also bring my camera bag:

Camera body, 2 lenses, field recorder, dead cat and extra batteries.
