I have a USB drive in the pocket of my bag that has Ventoy on it and a bunch of ISOs and repair tools, in case I need to set up a PC somewhere on the fly I guess? It’s literally never come up but if it ever does I’ll be ready lol.
Pocket sand…ha!
AH JESUS WHAT THE FUCK?
One of those little things that you use to poke open the SIM card slot on your phone.
Actual cash money. I’ve had the same $60 in my wallet for many years now. I never spend cash anymore.
On my daily walk, I carry pepper spray for the dogs. I’ve never used it, but I got it after I was bitten by a small dog on a leash, and befriended by a couple of strays who first threatened me. Since I started carrying it, another dog has threatened me, but again, calmed down and became friendly after I stood my ground with him. Seems like they just want to test me, or something. I didn’t even reach for the spray.
After my first dog died I started wearing her collar. A few years later I took it off and hung it from my rearview mirror because I was tired of people assuming it was some fetish thing.
A 1MB stick of RAM (30-pin SIMM) from my first computer.
Used to be a d6 (I read The Dice Man when I was young and, despite some objectionable content, the concept stuck with me), but I misplaced it recently.
Sometimes I think it’s a sign that intentionality should supersede chance in my life as it is today. Most other times I just think I should keep track of my things better.
I used to hold a superstition that if a random card, like playing card, is found without any other of its deck in sight it is in some way significant or lucky so I would carry the card around until it literally disintegrated, up my sleeve if able. I held on to a 9 of diamonds and a 4 of clubs for more than a year each growing up. Haven’t found one since
I like the idea of having a significant encounter with a stranger, playing the card (whether that’s handing it to them or leaving it on a table), and walking away.
Protection crystals… gets carried along with the phone, keys and wallet
A dollar bill folded into a tiny shirt.
A classmate folded it into a tiny shirt 20+ years ago, I put it in my wallet (which I generally have on my person every day) and I often forget about it. It hides behind my ID so I only remember I have it when I get a new ID.
Regret
Same, honestly probably not that wild
existential dread
What about Existential Bread?
I carry around peanuts to throw at crows everywhere I go. But bread may work in trying times.
Strictly non-existential bread for me actually.
Low carb diet
The petrified severed finger of an elf.
I just know you play some variation of DND
Sadly, as much as I’d like to I’ve never been able to get that many people together consistently.
Well the last elf that tried playing with you…
???
‽‽‽
That’s the usual reaction.
Dobby? *sniff.
My hopes and dreams that have died over the years.
At least you still carry them?
This piece of technology that allows me to access unfathomable amounts of information, talk to nearly anyone in the world with the push on a piece of glass, direct me to places I have no idea how to get to, teach me a language, play games, get instructional videos on just about anything, take pictures, and argue with people. And it’s smaller than a block of butter.
Mmmmmmmm… Yummmmm… glass sandwich
You mean the pornography rectangle?
Ah yes, the magic box with access to the collective knowlege of all of mankind. I use mine to get into arguments with strangers and look at pictures of cats.
‘If it fits I sits’ was the greatest piece of art ever created.
It’s also my car key and my wallet. The only other thing I need to carry is my Burt’s Bees lip balm.
You mean an internet communicator?
