  You ever scroll down to the bottom of a news article and see the dozen or so clickbait ads with weird (and very frequently ai generated) images designed to make you go, tf is that?

      I used to be called that when I worked out the adult toy store! Oh, wait, you said chumbox. I was way off…

    Visiting a news site without an adblocker At this point news sites look like the TV from idiocracy. There is not a force in the world that would force me to visit one without at least three digital condoms.

      three digital condoms

      Funnily enough, three real condoms are less effective than one.

  If you’re asking in earnest:

  EDC - “Essential daily carry,” just a loosely defined but also self-explanatory term. My keys are part of my EDC, so is my wallet and my pocket knife, because I use them every day so I carry them with me.

  Over the past few years, the EDC community has formed a little cottage industry where things aren’t EDC because they’re carried every day, they’re EDC because they say they are and they’re designed to be that way. Tactical here is just a marketing term here to appeal to some kind of utility beyond a normal wallet

    I wasn’t entirely earnest. A more precise question would be “why the fuck an EDC tactical wallet”

    I don’t think I’ve carried a wallet in about 5 years. I just have my phone in my pocket, if I need to buy something I just use my phone.

    I’m disappointed that I haven’t yet seen an EDC picture that features a buttplug.

  what the fuck is an EDC tactical wallet?

  EDC being everyday carry, tactical at this point has lost any real meaning - pants with a few extra pockets, this wallet, any knife you might take outside of a kitchen, a water bottle holder that you can attach to something, anything that they put those little loops that are normally on military backpacks (actually there’s another example, all those “EDC” backpacks that are 150 bucks).

  This maybe? www.dangoproducts.com/…/t01-tactical-wallet I saw mentioned that Dango is the brand.

  I’m convinced this is AI. If you assume the wallet folds at the back, there is no way to get your card out. Also they have stitches and bolts presumably into a metal plate, but you don’t stitch into metal. Fake

    It might be real, just bad. The stitches might just be holding the folded rim of the leather, while the bolts might be holding the leather onto the metal. Still, the bolts look small for the purpose.
