Oh I 100% have one, if not several. I just don’t know the location of a single one.
I lost mine

I’ve been searching for a lost vape for about five days. Our place isn’t even that big and it’s pretty clean because my partner won’t stand for the sort of sloppiness that I get up to when no one polices me. And the vape is a hell of a lot larger.

I have 3
superfes@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Same, do we win something?
NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 6 months ago
A 4th one
GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 6 months ago
I used to keep one on my keyring.
I finally took it off after the 4th time I had to pull it out of my thigh.
rasakaf679@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
I keep it in my wallet
theonyltruemupf@feddit.de 6 months ago
I keep a paperclip clipped to my wallet’s coin compartment. Very handy

Do we have to know where it is?

I don’t need that. My sim is accessible my removing the back cover and battery.

Hah, that’s why I bought a little treasure chest that I have on my desk. I keep magic stuff there like usb keys, a lighter, these things (whatever they are called? Sim card pins?), anything that is small and infrequently used.
Inktvip@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I call them reset button pushers
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago

Speaking of, I have a date this weekend, so if I could get that back from you tomorrow that would be great

Dozens of Archeology PhD theses will be written about these a thousand years from now.

Impossible! We can’t even find these things now. How will they ever find them in a thousand years from now?
CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 6 months ago
One fell out of my dryer today.
I haven’t used one in over a year. Quite perplexing.
TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Similar useless everyday objects sitting in a museum today from less time ago that we pay money to stare at. Heck there’s a Walkman in a museum…

I used a needle. But uhm… It was the microphone hole.
I wonder where that puts me on the responsibility spectrum.

I have one on my keychain, which is sometimes a huge pain in the thigh, the hand or the fabric of the jeans, but it’s worth it, because I use it like, every six months.
myusernameis@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Yeah, I did that, until one day I was digging my keys out of a pocket and the prong ended embedded deep under my fingernail. Never again.
HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
I just have an iFixit kit with a SIM ejector head included.

Broke my phone last week. Had mine on my keychain when the tech couldn’t find his quick enough.
Zidane@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Also keep mine on my keys… Well used to before children ripped it off… Need to get a new one
nexussapphire@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I got mine! Let me dig though my pile of empty boxes in a room I haven’t organized since I moved here like a year ago!
NewLeaf@hexbear.net 6 months ago
I keep all useful tools. Even those crappy Allen wrench screwdrivers that come with cheap furniture.
I’ve met so many people who don’t own a single tool, and I always try to give them my extras I’ve been collecting.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
Pro tip, I duct tape all the tools under whatever piece of furniture it came with. Just in case I ever need to tighten anything or whatever. I do have a tool kit with everything now but that wasn’t always the case.
grue@lemmy.world 6 months ago
LOL, no I’m not. I’m just bad at getting rid of stuff.
ech@lemm.ee 6 months ago
These things suck and are too tiny to store anywhere useful. A small paper clip works the same and stores much better.
jenny_ball@lemmy.world 6 months ago
paperclips are too thick
Glowstick@lemmy.world 6 months ago
You must be using thick paperclips. All the ones I’ve used have all worked fine. Paperclips come in a wide range of thicknesses.
ech@lemm.ee 6 months ago
What an uninspired way to approach life. You encounter something that doesn’t match your specific experience and, instead of wondering how it could be true, your only reaction is to deny it altogether. Be a bit more curious.
henfredemars@infosec.pub 6 months ago
I keep mine in the phone case with a $20 for emergencies.
Glowstick@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Agree totally. There’s no point in holding on to a special-purpose object that can have its function performed by other very common objects. The smart thing to do is throw it away immediately after the phone’s return window ends.
Grass@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I have one as a screwdriver bit so I just toss them in a bin of misc metal bits.
tacosplease@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Love the idea of using it as a screwdriver. Stealing that little trick. Cheers!
Brickhead92@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That’s a strange looking paper clip.
ray@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I don’t have one. Not because I had one and lost it, but because the phone I’m using was made before these existed.
cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
I have at least 2 that I know where they are.
feedmecontent@lemmy.world 6 months ago
How is it responsible to waste your life taking steps to keep track of worthless little objects of that size? If you need a thin poker use one of the many every day objects that takes the form of or includes a thin poker.
johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I don’t really see how tossing a thing that you might need later in a drawer and then remembering where it is counts as wasting your life.
feedmecontent@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Tossing in a drawer, definitely not. But keeping it in a place where you know where it is, will remember it, and it is definitely retrievable is different. Good luck finding that thing in a random drawer you are sure it’s in, much less a random drawer you are only kind of sure it’s in. Or if your life is such that each spot occupied in each drawer regardless of size and time of deposit is accounted for and retrievable, maybe that is just the standard I’m missing here.
What I’m saying is: I definitely have one or more of those in drawers or closets or boxes somewhere. Where, I do not know, and I could not retrieve one on command. But I could retrieve an implement to do its job. That the two things wind up being the same thing is an infinitesimal chance at best.
morphballganon@lemmy.world 6 months ago
waste your life
Struck a nerve, did they?
teft@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Why would I keep track of something that can be replaced by a paper clip that costs a penny?
Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Keep it with your paperclips? They work better like it was purpose built.

I cut a slit into the foam of my ifixit kit and stuck it in there.
Arbiter@lemmy.world 6 months ago
But doesn’t the ifixit kit have a sim extractor bit?

But doesn’t the ifixit kit have a sim extractor bit?
Yes, it does.
user224@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
I still use one from the first phone I had which needed this crap. So I have 3 of them in total. Actually, 4, I’ve got one extra in a screwdriver set.
PunnyName@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’s on my keyring
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
i hate you. I had one for years, i think it fell down, and it’s integrated itself into my carpet by now i think…
It’s gone.

Leatherman bracelet has one built in so I don’t even need those
IdiosyncraticIdiot@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
LPT: if you have a case on your phone, put it inside the case (between the case and phone) and you’ll always have it when you need it
LazyKatze@lemdro.id 6 months ago
Seems like a good way to scratch the phone, might just as well go crazy with a key on the back of the phone 😅
IdiosyncraticIdiot@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
Been doing it for ~5 years with 0 scratches… If you have an iPhone maybe they are too delicate, but I also feel like iPhones (in the US at least) don’t have SIM cards since Apple has that G.I. Joe - Kung-Fu grip
user224@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
Unless you also have a foil at the back of your phone, like.
It’s a nice textured one, so it still feels good should my phone be out of the case. It also makes it less slippery.
henfredemars@infosec.pub 6 months ago
I do the same and never had any scratches if the case fits snugly.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
It’s in the electronics box buried under a PS3, two 18 year old laptops, a graphics card that was obsolete 12 years ago, a hard drive I salvaged from an old DVR, and the bags and bags of Ethernet/coax/mini-USB/Sansa MP3 player cables, and the steam link

I’m gonna call it OCD, but in a friendly way. I’m OCD about my fingernails being short. My father was OCD about his socks wearing out at an even rate. I’m not pointing fingers. Cheers!
