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My wallet has been replaced by earbuds as i can use my phone for payments, but like to listen to podcasts on the go.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!

View the keys, wallet, and cell phone as the necks connecting the bodies to the heads above.
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!

I used this meme to get ready today but I messed up and accidentally left the house with keys, wallet, and Stalin
Well, at least you’re gonna get shit done today. Try to steer clear the crimes against humanity, though…
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.
What do I need a wallet for? I can use my phone to pay everywhere nowadays.
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.
Well then I just go to my friend nearby who has the spare key. Rarely happens that I have a completely empty phone battery. And I can just charge it in my car if necessary.
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.
Most small vendors offer a pretty nice discount for cash (even though thats technically against cc's tos), as soon as I started to buy almost entirely local my cash usage went way up. I do almost all my groceries in cash these days from a farmers market.
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.
This is less of a problem for me these days.
My phone is my primary source of audio content, so it’s easy to remember. I also have a smart / keypad lock, a digital wallet, a physical wallet that magnetically connects to my phone case, and my keys / phone have UWB trackers on them.
The world may be getting shittier, but we have top scientists and engineers working on the “I forgot my keys / wallet” problem.
When I travel, I love places with digital keylocks and digital wallet.
I felt real cyberpunk to use my phone to map how to get to my fancy hotel/Airbnb that unlocked automatically when I got near and wave my phone at the vending machine to get a soda and then order food through my phone.
The part I panic about is constantly keeping my phone charged.
Just remember WOWEE
Glasses has entered chat
I'm to the point I need to carry two pairs now, it's so frustrating.
Ah, that's where I left them.
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.
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:
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.
Got any links that shows pictures of all these devices? The article is kinda sparse.
Didn't some dude from Motorola do that?
Martin Cooper, but I think maybe UnderpantsWeevil was making a joke.
Edit: Nope, they were serious but it's not exactly what we'd think of as a cell phone as far as I can tell.
I get uncomfortable when they're not in my pockets…
