Not a single productive thing here, no books, not a single creative hobby like writing or painting, not even a basic physical hobby like gardening. Just replacing "brainrot, 2026" with "brainrot, 2008"
buy an ad, faggot
>>109384366thats a lot of shit when you can just carry a phone that does the same thing
>>109384366I think pretending that you carry gardening tools with you every day is a bigger larp than pretending to carry and play a PSP daily, when you purchased the PSP in February 2026 purely for photo ops. Why would you need to carry your trowel and seeds with you to the waiting room? Will you plant a tree in the cracked linoleum? In my experience, carrying entertainment with you is rarely necessary. Ultimately waiting times are unpredictable and full of interruptions, there is not really time for dedicated mobile gaming or even reading a book. In a waiting room, you'll be called up to the counter intermittently, made to do paperwork, or just annoyed by some lonely boomer who does not give a fuck that you're clearly busy. The best things to do in a waiting room or on a subway are just sit there and wait, or do something mindless and trivially stoppable like, yes, scrolling on your phone.

real talk has anyone ever seen anyone like this irl?
>>109384366I like looking at EDC pics, no matter how masturbatory they are
>>109385520forgot to attach pic
>>109385498I think they exist as loners in college campuses or public libraries. exclusively fat and/or asian/brown. when i was in college you carried your wallet, dumbphone, bag with textbook, paper and pen to write on. you then talked to people around you.
>>109384366I can do mine.Let's see.walletphoneheadphonesuziyour mom's calling card
Real EDC consists of:>knife/SAK/multitool>flashlight>phone>wallet>keysKeep more than that in your pockets and you're LARPing.
>>109384366>no booksThere are two e-readers (small and tablet-size) on that pic.Personally I carry a Kobo Sage (previously a Kobo Aura One), which is much more convenient than carrying books, specially as I travel a lot.And I’m definitely not against actual books, I could open a small library with those I have at home.
>>109384366>Just replacing "brainrot, 2026" with "brainrot, 2008"I don't understand this notion either, I guess the idea is that instead of wasting your freetime scrolling through algorithimically calculated """content""" you're playing on your PSP and wasting time there. I don't think it matters if I had my phone or a PSP, if I'm gonna be distracted and piss away a ton of time i'll end up doing it with either one
>>109385572what compels a man to carry around two knives and a janitor's worth of keys?
I carry my phone, my keys, a pen, and a pair of headphones.Why would I carry more?
I don't go outside, so there is no reason for me to carry anything.
>>109384366I miss what's in your pockets threads from back in the day. Good times.
>>109385777If you're NPC you don't need anything more.
>>109385572Where dildo?
>>109385906Concealed carry.
I'll tell you why I don't contribute. the zoomer filth will steal my ideas and present it as their own on tiktok.yes, I know people on yt steal from tiktok.
>>109385741It's female (mental illness)
>>109385939Why don't you just make a tiktok and monetize your own ideas?They're making money stealing 4chan posts and you're not
>>109385939>people on yt steal from tiktok.you wanna call the next trend?my bets are on framework, linux and graphene os
>>109386364those have been the trend for some time nowThere's been tiktok "guides" on how to have more privacy and all that
>>109385851>you are not sentient unless you carry (more) material possessionsjesus
>>109386419Nah it only shows you don't really have any interests out of ordinary stuff - you know thing that makes you NPC.
>>109386475What if I like carpentry? Do I need to carry my workbench around?
>>109386501Be who you are. Nothing bad in being NPC is you're ok with yourself.
>>109386521Cringe take just to defend your initial position
>>109386475if anything the performative trend is the perfect example of why judging someone by what they have is no buenoyou talk to them and their responses give away if they are npc or not
>>109385635the op its copied from a tranny jeet post from twitter, its only exist as engagemente bait
>>109388229And why do you know that?
>>109388294Because i got recomended the video on the OP and is one of the comments
>>109385572no one needs that many bump keys
People have all this edc, and none of them carry 100k+ SHU hot sauce around.
>>109384366Phone, wallet, keys, leatherman, gun. What more does a man need in an edc?
>>109384366>>109385572>>109385840Lmfao, the gloves are killing me. Let's create /g/ larp threads. /glg/? I love this
>>109385572anon I'm rolling, this is impressive and funny af. We need EDC LARP generals now
>>109389886>>109389899>xe doesn't know about EDC-chan
>>109389928I really don't, but this is so good.
>>109389928Aww, nice leopard moth
lol
>>109389990that's based af doe
>>109389990>Cal Newport That guy's a nigger, and never writes anything of substance; all the arguments in any of his books are self-evident to anyone with an IQ above room temperature. Most of his, or any other grifter's, "tips" for increasing productivity are only considerations to keep oneself busy and give the illusion that they are being productive. Just sit down and do the damn work.
>>109386364>my bets are on framework, linux and graphene os
>>109385572pretty sure the other of this one was a tranny. also there's another pic of "her" EDC around.
>>109389928>>109385572Pill me on the two-hundred buck eraser? Why?
>>109390258there was an alleged pic of her, but it was a pussy-haver, fo-sho
>>109385741if you're serious you're gonna carry two knives, one for eating or other "clean tasks" and other for defense and other "dirty" tasks.
>>109385939>>109386364>my bets are on framework, linux and graphene osalmost, framework is good, but too expensive, you can get 2 laptops for that.>>109390251>>my bets are on framework, linux and graphene osI'm a zoomer and I feel called out. Grew up on /g/ award.
>>109389928fuck it, I wish the world was exciting enough that it was normal to carry around a butterfly knife to stab any ruffian who dare accost you while you're writing poetry with your fountain pen.>>109390263$11 eraser in a $160 platinum-plated holder. I thought it was going to be something special.
>>109385572mostly, that sucks, but I like the TI calculator.The bag is dumb.the locksmith tools thing is ok, and especially back whenever, like whatevs. but wwhy isn't it opened so we can see what the kid is? you shouldn't need bump keys if you can pick.
>>109384366>fastman thread>but... For zoomers!
>>109390289Fine. Buy this:https://www.milwaukeetool.com/products/details/4-curved-jaw-locking-pliers/48-22-3423doesn't replace pliers.

>>109384366>anti-brain rot>bt headphonesI mean, better than holding the phone to your head, but c'mon
>>109385239I like the little Linux thingy thoI happen to edc my XTEINK, it exclusively has the Bible on it. So, I have a pocket Bible. This isn't bragging, since we don't even have ids.so, anyone thinking about a commitment, it's a cheap and tiny e-reader. It's kinda slow, a new version is out soon that may fix the slowness issue, which I fixed using crosspoint and custom vibecoded bla bla bla epubs with bla bla bla anyway, real Bible companies need to actually sell these.
sure
>>109384366I agree OP, where is the output? It's all fake.
>>109384366>>109385572Keep this thread alive, I'm shooping my own EDC
>>109384366How is having old hardware anti brainrot?
>>109384366>installs Debian >immediately slaps Spotify on it >carries around 12 devices that they don’t use because “sovl” or whatever>claims it’s anti-brainrot but is posting it on social media, presumably with a smartphone that they use in place of all of this shitDo zoomers really?
This is my EDC as a 28 year old homeless man who harasses women and families in the park
>>109385777>d the PSP in February 2026 purely for photo ops. Why would you need to caWhat do you need a pen with no notebook for?
>>109390938I have an old java phone. Is it possible to install deabin to add wifi to it?
EDC pictures in the modern day are the epitome of reddit.>tacticool spergs with $500 knives they never use>zoomers with old tech they bought to cure their smartphone adiction (aka larp on the internet)>autists with lots of useless shit
>>109391454bro is just mad lol, let people have hobbies. I use my knife every day, to cut bread rolls and sausage at break time, while listening to my mp3 player and doing a SMW level on my chinkheld.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pLDNg2oc-sProductivity is poison to creativity. I've started journaling with a $4 kuru toga mech pencil + $5 notebook. 10~ days in, constantly reviewing what I've wrote has been nice.
>>109391469theyre all nice items, sure, but making a hobby out of the shit you carry daily? I guess it just tends to be interpreted as having such a boring and shallow life that you need to come up with such mundane "hobby" or pastime, but yeah idgaf
>>109389928holy freakin' BasedBring back EDC threads !!!
>>109386364You are in a normie linustechtards bubble if you think Framework and Graphene will be a tt trend
>>109391496no streSS homie
>>anti brainrot>game console>no paper booksngmi
>>109384366>Let's just embrace "minimalism" while making sure to post it on jewtubeTwo weeks tops before that shit goes to a drawer.
>>109384366fucking zoomers
>>109384366I’m not defending this person, but>computerYou can do many productive and creative things just with that. For instance: writing
>carry around a shitty dumbphone, keys, sketchbook and wallet because animator>dumbphone is to avoid boss(es) trying to contact me to do extra work because i'm paid per sheet/thumb of storyboard and not hourly>get accused of larping during the height of EDC>literally have no idea what they're talking about>they demand to see my sketchbook>"oh... there's actually drawings in here">still remember the stunned disappointment to this dayi hate edc not because of the larpers but because retards became convinced nobody carries anything on them ever and anyone who did is a liar.
This seems like a good place to ask.What's a good "masculine" techie messenger bag with a lot of pockets?I'm heading back to work soon and was thinking about thinkgeek bag of holding but they look cheap and overpriced now.It may or may not need to hold function IT tools.
>>109393179https://www.mec.ca/en/products/packs-and-bagsThere's some faggot colours but the dark blue/black and (some) green ones are nice and slate toned. They also last forever; I literally inherited one of their sling bags and use it all the time.
>>109392817Zoomers became mentally dependant of their smartphone so the idea of using anything else instead terrifies them
>>109393246There's only one messenger bag on there and it has only 3 pockets.Thanks tho
>>109393314i didn't see the messenger bag part but you should consider a sling bag because they're far better for your back
>>109384366Media about EDC's is mostly entertainment.
>>109393322I'm 6'4 400(Don't ask). A filled messenger bag is nothing to me.
>>109385572The masses yearn for 1960's espionage equipmentI remember almost falling for the EDC meme of having everything I would need at any moment, but that ends up being as counterproductive as not having anything. My methodology changed to "If i find myself in need of something specific more than 3 times I'll add it in my bag or car. But why the fuck would you need to carry 3 separate fountain pens? 70% of this can be condensed into 1 phone, 1 notebook, a bic pen and a portable battery
>>109393335I'd love to install Gnu/Linux with you (is you are sub), danke.
>>109393179https://int.lbbjkt.com/products/the-echelon-mhttps://chromeindustries.com/collections/messenger-bagshttps://missionworkshop.com/collections/messenger-bagsThese are some good brands but it depends how much money you are willing to spend. Top of the line would be mission workshop and its pretty modular but pricey
>>109393423sounds cozy. I use Gnu/linux exclusively since years. It's the UwUtism.
>>109393423>>109393683ops forgot pic
>>109385520wtf does masturbation have to do with the subject? why the fuck is everyone using it as substitute adjective for something being appealing everywhere on this site now?
>>109389928>blue clock / poweris this running android 4?
>>109393354It's not about the weight it's about your posture dickass.
the EDC subreddit is a goldmine, I'll go there once a month or so to see what new consoomer trend everyone is following. Fuckin donut colored knives were a thing for a while, then I saw dedicated $80 prybars in everyone's "edc" despite most of them being cybersecurity retards.Don't you dare ruin this for me /g/ it's one of the only fun places I can browse in the office.
>>109393179Timbuk2
>>109393756/g/ was doing it before the subreddit existed so you're probably safe
>>109393683>I use Gnu/linux exclusively since years.Based, same.
you're allowed to like collecting old junk. it doesn't have to be with a pretense of increasing your productivity. digital antiques are cool on their own.
>>109385572I can bet my ass this tranny has never used those fucking keys in its life except for opening a lock at a fetish party to impress someone for sex (didn't work)
>>109384366>Investing my time into hobbies? No no no, surely all I need to do is buy a shitty e-ink tablet. That'll totally make me productive!I'm convinced that this whole digital minimalism thing is just a psyop to make people believe that the solution to their scrolling addiction is buying a bunch of random shit that they'll forget about in two weeks.
>>109394028lmfao
>>109393896comfy
>>109384366Digital minimalism faggots are such massive larpers.>Nooooooo I need a dedicated device because e-erm BECAUSE I NEED IT OKAYConsooom freely cuh, but don't pretend like you are better than anyone for buying some ewaste MP3 player and a 20 year old handheld console instead of just using Spotify and an emulator on a single device (a smart phone) like a normal ass nigga
>>109394030It's controlled opposition on online platforms. You can read books about that topic who don't align with the algorithm.
>>109394180Thanks, I need you...
>>109394263That's not a good starting point for any relationship in the first place. I'm not for curing your depression. Get offline, meet people.
what do you do that you need to carry so much
>>109394337The likelihood of me finding a cute /g/nu/linux /g/tard on /g/rindr is very low
>>109385498Yes women and college/highschool kids that's it. women carry all kinds of pointless bullshit in their purses and college/highschool kids do it with their backpacks. I stopped carrying around all this shit in HS when I bought a car. My EDC is just my keys and then maybe my wallet if I actually plan on using it. Why anyone walks around with a bunch of this crap makes no sense to me. Even my phone is a burden 99% of the time because I'm just in and out of where I need to go/be and having my phone is not needed for any of it.
>>109385572lol from far away I thought that book was a gamecube and it was just full autism bait
>>109394389Grindr is smartphone exclusive. Romeo works on Linux too.
>>109393335Stills less gay than the shit people post these days.
>EDC>More than wallet/keys/phoneFucking losers lol
>>109384366>>109389990>>109390289>>109390628why does it always have to a be either a thinkpad or something obscure and japanese? You never see these edc niggas with an Acer from best buy
>>109394767Because it's a larp based around picking aesthetics over function
haven't taken a recent one but I cut down on a lot of the stuff in pic rel because my commute is a lot less time out of my day now.
>>109385572>pill fob*looks at camera*
>>109392759"HD remaster"
I miss /g/ EDC threads, you always had that one turbosperg with the multiple loaded mags, like, what possible self-defense scenario would have you mag-dump multiple times?
>>109393709https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_jerk
For me, it's retards taking the fastman meme seriously
>>109395419Meeting the clintons
>>109392759When I saw Orchid early this year there was this MtF recording the show with a 3DSI felt second hand embarrassment
>>109394858how do you fit the cat in you're pockets
>>109385741they aren't even real keys
>>109395732you guys....don't take the fastman meme seriuously?>i've been living a lie for over a decade
>>109393723Think so, that's the very old sony player that the WM1 models replaced.
What's with all the knife faggotry on EDC threads? You don't use a knife every single day and if you need to cut something a box cutter will be way better than a shitty knife, I saw a review of a knife in youtube once and the faggot gave it a bad score because it opened inside its pants and stabbed himself while walking, that's how retarded you look if you carry a knife with you everywhere.
>>109394858>First aid kit >Ruger pistol purseWhat's it for? Is it so you can patch assailants up after you pepper them with low-caliber rounds, so you can shoot them again?
unironically considering a dumbphone, thanks OP for reminding me.
>>109385600Lose the flashlight and add a vape and sunglasses
>>109395234
>>109397899very carefully>>109398421no, i only go for headshots

While making this I remembered I always wanted to have a powerful laser pointer in handy and I still dont have one
>>109394767OK but to be fair mine is a thinkpad 220 from 1999 with working re-celled battery and I at least used to be able to post here from it.I can't anymore because the cloudflare captcha requires a better cpu. For a while I used it on the go to download pictures from the mavica and post them to /p/
>>109399350>I can't anymore because the cloudflare captcha requires a better cpu.wtf
>>109399369cpu so slow it thinks you're a resource starved bot
>>109385239I forgive him because I was worse. It's always the kettle and the pot
>>109385572A fucking calculator hahahaGood find anon, this is funny
>>109400889what was your loadout anon?
>>109389990There's no lies or deceit in this comment. He seems ok to me.
>>109392759Performative gaming is still gaming. I'd much prefer engaging conversation with someone filming with his 3ds than anyone else.
>>109392817Anon you're very cool. So cool in fact that you made people that emulate you uncomfortable. This is pretty funny.
>>109394341I drive.

>>109399204It's either laser or pocket sand, your move
>>109400906Not EDC, but in general. For example I made my mom paint black skulls on my bedroom walls when I was 14.
