if it’s a true bic. knockoffs might not work very well.

I used to live quite near to one of the bic factories in France. Ahhhh I’m obsessed with Bic pens.

My husband works at an architecture firm. They exclusively use #2 in 3 different colors. My husband has gotten in the habit of putting a few in his pocket during the day while he works and emptying his pockets when he gets home. We have WAY TOO MANY PENS!!! I’ve been bagging them up and giving them away!! They are nice pens tho… very good for drafting/drawing/etc. I just don’t need 300 of them. Beware that the blue ones tend to explode the most.
GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Oh my god, the explosions with the black ones are horrible, because you don’t realize until you start to grip and the ink just coats your fingers. I love them, but the horror will live forever in my mind.
skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I had a pen like that when I was very young, had to be maybe in the 5th grade. It exploded on me because I chewed on the end of it while thinking. Parts of my homework desk remained blue until I graduated high school, I’m lucky my teeth didn’t also.

1 but micro, not fine.
Godort@lemm.ee 2 months ago
This is the correct answer

Only answer for left handers!

Clear winner.

5 is the objectively correct answer here.
Coyote_sly@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, no contest at all.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
It’s probably the choice I would have to go with, but when I was working with full boxes a lot, I started caring more about which pens were sturdy sharp enough to stab through tape and drag through it 50 times an hour and not end up looking at the end of your pen and find out the tip ripped off. Switching to a box knife over and over slows you down a lot and I needed the pen to cross out and document what was missing from the orders. Pens with caps are a pain for that as well, waste time.
I probably should have tried to find something like this: atechgo.com/…/multitool-pen-9-in-1-box-cutter?var…
LifeOfChance@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Damn that pen is actually super handy. My only issue I’d have is i really like having a fine tip pen I use a Pilot G2 07 black pen
murtaza64@programming.dev 2 months ago
not pictured, but uniball eye micro was my goat for high school and college. I had to do british standardized exams in high school which required black pen (not pencil). these guys write super smoothly and create really nice lines, but they take a sec or two to dry so you gotta be careful not to smudge.

Coldcell@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I assumed 1 was this one! Still the goat, still have 3 on my person at any given time.

Why does half the ink leak into the grip though

G2 forever.

Pilot G-2, Obviously. #5.

I can only write with friction now, I have ADHD and I often skip letters when writing words so I always have to erase the letter I just wrote. If I’m not using friction it looks horrible

When I taught tertiary anatomy to sports science students. The school’s stationary cabinet was a box of lost pens that the cleaners added to. The school wasn’t great. Rather than buy new pens, we were to take from the box. I knew I wasn’t being renewed next year so I came in on the holidays and took every four pen in that box. About fifteen of them. It’s seen me good for for pens for about 13 years now. I still have a bunch kicking around. Mostly green/red left, but I use those to mark my ToDo lists with completed and delayed entries.
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ooh, Pilot Frixion, I like those. I did not expect myself to ever be able to get excited about pens, yet here I am.
I love lending out Frixion Clickers out to my DnD friends and seeing them struggle with the click before they realise that the pocket clip is the thing that goes click.
FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
5, man I loved those pens when taking notes in college.
NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 2 months ago
- The Bic Pilot G2 in 1mm writes like butter. Glorious. $4.95 for a 4 pack.
livingcoder@programming.dev 2 months ago
The price and quality are so hard to beat.
Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
CptEnder@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I used to use these a lot before I discovered micro tipped pens, these are great ball point though.
Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I like that they mark on metal. And the tip is great for tracing rough edges and rulers.
TheFrogThatFlies@lemmy.world 2 months ago
And respective mechanical pencil!
Samskara@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
7 BIC or bust
TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
7 is the the type of pen that lasts me the longest. They seem indestructible. All other types disintegrate in my hands after a year or so.
Structure7528@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Another for 5
toxiczombie@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Honestly those of us who’ve bought 1 or 2 already main those. I’ll never by another pen, the writing quality of the Uniball is just superb. The plastic grip isn’t uncomfortable like you’d think, and rubber grips tend to feel weird after lots of writing anyways. The build quality is top notch, as someone who’s accidentally broken lots of pens. Just a great design
Jesus_666@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Seconded. As far as pens are concerned, Uniball is where it’s at.
sloppychops@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
2, please.
JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 2 months ago
2, the Pilot Precise, specifically a V5
Kamikazimatt@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
This was the only pen I could use as a left handed writer that wouldn’t leave any ink on my hand.
Dop@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’d go for the Pilot Vball, but close enough.
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Have you used one recently? I used to love those but they don’t work as well as I remember when I’ve tried them in the past few years
Captain_J@lemmy.world 2 months ago
5 for me
Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 months ago
None. Pens fucking suck. There are limited use cases for pens, which is basically none unless I am signing a contract.
For every single other use case I’d rather have a mechanical pencil.
TemplaerDude@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I respectfully disagree, pencils are the devil’s implement, pens are for the superior writer.
Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
pens can’t even write more than a couple letters on a wall and even less on an overhead surface. imagine my absolute disappointment when I built a custom over bed upside down desk only for my pen collection to be unusable
pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Since having to write so many notes in school, I’ve preferred pens.
Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Your assessment is nonsense but ok

I am a fellow mechanical pencil enjoyer. GraphGear for life, but I have been having an affair with the Ohto MS01. All in 0.3 because it forces me to have good hand writing.

roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Seriously. This is Lemmy, right? Shouldn’t it be fountain pens, mechanical keyboard, Linux, and automatic watches?

None of these are fountain pens, the obviously superior choice over ball-points.

Pilot G2 if I must, but the real answer is a Lamy Safari.
