I get uncomfortable when they’re not in my pockets…
Knife, flashlight, lighter…
American here.
Also bottle water, AR-15, and a bible too.
i use PKW to remember!
Right pocket, right pocket, left pocket.
Why in that order? Because I used to keep my keys in me left pocket and wallet in my right (before the smartphone was a thing yeah I’m old), but once I got a smartphone I didn’t want to damage the screen, so into the right pocket the keys went, and only the phone goes in the left pocket and nothing else so it won’t get scratched.
I’m the opposite for the same reasons. I just like the phone on the right since it’s easier to reach with my main hand. Although, reaching across my body for keys can be awkward when carrying groceries and stuff
My phone NEVER leaves my side, that’s not a big issue. And thankfully my wallet is 99% obsolete, as most of the cards are already in my phone, and the few that aren’t fit in my flip case. Keys are another story, fuck keys! Bulky loud ass bullshit! I’d love a keychain that could live in my phone or have the format of a card.
My Renault car has a pretty neat card that auto locks and unlocks the car. I just keep it in my breast pocket (or backpack in the summer) and forget about it.
There are electronic keys. NFC and the like. Better yet, if you have a smart watch it can act like a key.
This is less of a problem for me these days.
My phone is my primary source of audio content, so it’s easy to remember. I also have a smart / keypad lock, a digital wallet, a physical wallet that magnetically connects to my phone case, and my keys / phone have UWB trackers on them.
The world may be getting shittier, but we have top scientists and engineers working on the “I forgot my keys / wallet” problem.
Fuck the big three, it’s just big me
when I talk about it
it carries on
reasons only knew
When I travel, I love places with digital keylocks and digital wallet.
I felt real cyberpunk to use my phone to map how to get to my fancy hotel/Airbnb that unlocked automatically when I got near and wave my phone at the vending machine to get a soda and then order food through my phone.
The part I panic about is constantly keeping my phone charged.
Phones in 2035 be like:
Fuck the Big 3, it’s just me!
You drop your phone. Your keys and wallet: Fool! You thought you could live without us!
That’s why I got the 2035 biist™ implant, you can’t lose it!

Not compatible with any 2034 or 2036 appliances. Please see your local neurosurgeon for an upgrade.
I have almost forgotten my Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on several occasions
I’m free from keys. The car opens with my phone and my home has a keypad at the door.
I still carry or hide a key in case a battery dies or something glitches out.
Same, the physical keys are backups.
There’s a whole ass Comedy Bang! Bang! (tv) episode about exactly these items being forgotten.
Not ringing a bell. Link? Title?
You’ll have to give me a few minutes to dig up what episode it was. I looked on Wikipedia earlier, but all the descriptions are too short.
I just remember the wallet phone and keys getting scared by “security dog” Rocky (Scott’s dog) and wandering into a closet full of old outdated software and phones.
EDIT: Season 4, Episode 29: A$AP Rocky Wears a Black Button Up Jacket and Black Sneakers
Love it! I binged Comedy Bang Bang in 2019 and was planning on another marathon. I feel like people don’t reference it enough as much as Kee and Peele, Lonely Island songs or Whitest Kids You Know and always appreciate seeing a fan
Yeah, I thought this meant like UK was the keys to the allies getting a real foothold in Europe, America was the one providing the funding and Russia…
…is a cell phone?
I think I overthought this meme.
Russia…
…is a cell phone?
The Soviets did invent them.
Didn’t some dude from Motorola do that?
Martin Cooper, but I think maybe UnderpantsWeevil was making a joke.
Cell phones were invented in America, weren’t they?
Leonid Kupriyanovich, a Moscow engineer, developed a series of experimental pocket-sized radios in the 1950s and 1960s:
- In 1957, Kupriyanovich patented a wireless phone device that weighed about 3 kg.
- In 1961, he presented a portable phone that weighed 70 grams and could fit in the palm of your hand.
- Kupriyanovich’s radiotelephones shared a common base station, which we now call a cell tower.
- Kupriyanovich’s “Altay” radio-based cell network was used by emergency services and remained popular after the fall of the Soviet Union.
However, the Soviet bureaucracy prioritized using early cell phone research to develop car phones for the Soviet upper ranks instead of mass producing cell phones for the general public.
So should we give credit to people like Marconi and Tesla for inventing what we know today as the cell phone? I suppose the delineation isn’t necessarily so clear.
So should we give credit to people like Marconi and Tesla for inventing what we know today as the cell phone?
For the telephone, certainly. And for a host of other radio-based technology. You should probably include Michael Faraday and James Maxwell.
But Kupriyanovich holds the patent on wireless telephones, specifically.
Glasses has entered chat
Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch.
I say this every morning, so I don’t forget my testicles when I leave the house.
Don’t forget the flask of Scotch.
Just remember WOWEE
I used this meme to get ready today but I messed up and accidentally left the house with keys, wallet, and Stalin
