    I always love these AI generated “interesting looking objects”.

    What we have here is some plastic, aluminum or pot-metal frame with a piece of obviously fake suede screwed to it with undersized screws so that it’ll rip off at the slightest provocation. It then has some sort of shitty OLED display crammed inside of it for…reasons?

    I’m definitely going to tie that “tactical” rope (I know there is a more official name, can’t think of it) to my suit jacket pocket.

      I think it’s called paracord, strong useful rope, and that is a cobra knot, which is a useful way to carry relatively a lot of rope in a small aesthetic package (but it’s a pain to undo/redo).

      Practically useless for evey day use. I doubt anyone who ever bought one of those cobra knotted paracord in bracelets or keychain has ever used the rope in an emergency.

      that being said, it’s the insecure male version of a friendship bracelet.

    What is that? It looks interesting but it also might be an AI image of something that doesn’t exists

    Edit: what the fuck is an EDC tactical wallet? I thought it was some kind of rugged electronic thing

      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?

      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. The term “EDC” evolved then into describing a specific type of object. Tactical here is just a marketing term here to appeal to some kind of utility beyond a normal wallet

      Hope this helps. Can’t believe I wrote all that on my lunch break about an obviously AI picture
