It’s not AI generated. I’ve had this wallet for like 3 years now.
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
show us a picture then. or reply when people ask you what it is with a name and brand.
of course people think you’re full of shit when you don’t reply to them with anything but vague bullshit

I have seen AI gadgets in clickbait ads.
Cool-looking cubes with lots of controls and stuff, but with meaningless symbols and “words” for labels.
It reminds me how influenced I am by advertising, that I kind of want something that doesn’t exist or have a purpose, just because it looks gadgety.

It is the promise of mystery, discovery, unknown functions that could end up being truly fascinating. The less clear the workings of a device at first glance (down to some minimum threshold), the more it evokes that sense of wonder and curiosity.

I’m reminded of a few projects I’ve seen here and there where a dad with some electronics skills builds a control panel for his kid with a bunch of knobs, buttons, lights, switches, gauges, displays etc. that makes suitably impressive industrial noises as you mess with the controls because what kid doesn’t want that? I want that.

What even the fuck is it? A phone? Just a case for a phone? Soms sort of new bullshit wallet?
Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
i used to have this wallet. it’s a wallet with a metal frame. it’s not very comfortable to carry. i bought it after searching “most durable wallet” and getting one of those seo bullshit ad sites before i knew better in 2018
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 months ago
I use a duct tape wallet. Simple. EZDIY. Lasts pretty long (not forever), and easily replaced/repaired.
Rooster326@programming.dev 2 months ago
Why do you need an extra durable wallet?
Do you have extreme pockets, or something? Fill em with rocks?
What is there to even break in a wallet?
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
it’s a high tech wallet promoted by YouTubers, the metal frame grinds through your pants and car upholstery, it’s a feature.
pyre@lemmy.world 2 months ago
also it provides easy access to your credit card PIN in case someone steals it
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Another tracking device for us human cattle, that we buy ourselves. Probably a wallet, if not some AI generated crap.

What’s this? A phone case pretenting to be an organizer pretending to be a wired phone?
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 months ago
a metal wallet with a bunch of lanyard loops?
potatopotato@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
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?

It’s not fake lol. I’ve had one for like 3 years now.

It’s a Starbucks gift card not an oled screen.
Seems the product, ore one variation of it is called “Dango M1 MAVERICK”

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.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 months ago
550 cord is great, and people should have some in their vehicle, or a pack while traveling.
The cords on stuff like the wallet bother me though because even with the space reducing knot, it’s a comically small amount of cord that’s almost purely a fashion statement. A significant amount of 550 cord on a roll, spindle, or just in a ziplock bag is far more practical.
I’ve known some outdoorsy people who’ve made their own 550 bracelets, but when it comes to storebought ones it’s pretty much 100% people that never go in the woods wearing them in my experience.
Cort@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I kept one in my car and actually used it to tie down patio furniture while helping a buddy move houses.
I just wadded it up into a ball and put it into the trunk when I was done with it. Haven’t used it since tho.

19th day of the 71st month.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m pretty sure it’s 19 weeks, 71 seconds

I’d rather not have a wallet covered in dead skin. They make all metal ones that function similarly.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I love my cork one. It’s been holding up for many years now. Metal is ofc the only choice if you care about RFID protection though.
Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I have a cork one and its durable AF.
Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Dead skin wallets can be made more renewably than metal
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I’m rounding year 15 with a nylon one. I’ve never had a leather wallet last that long.
EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 2 months ago
covered
This is metal underneath
Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Human skin is even more renewable, we have billions of those motherfuckers munching about
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Not exactly a wallet, but I got one of these several years back and I like it: www.ekster.com/products/ekster-cardholder
I think it’s the only thing I’ve ever purchased after learning about it in an internet ad.
echodot@feddit.uk 2 months ago
All metal what? I can’t even work out what it is. Given the fact that I don’t know what this is, I’m reasonably confident that I don’t want it.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Its clearly a time machine. The left side displays when you are and the right when your going to.

Couldn’t possibly beat the heat from the gift that came with a bag of plutonium.

I bought that wallet. You don’t want it. If you want something like it, try Code 118.
sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 2 months ago
I looked up code 118, I hate it.
edinbruh@feddit.it 2 months ago
What is that? It looks interesting but it also might be an AI image of something that doesn’t exists
gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
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. Tactical here is just a marketing term here to appeal to some kind of utility beyond a normal wallet
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I always heard EDC means EveryDay Carry
edinbruh@feddit.it 2 months ago
I wasn’t entirely earnest. A more precise question would be “why the fuck an EDC tactical wallet”
echodot@feddit.uk 2 months ago
I don’t think I’ve carried a wallet in about 5 years. I just have my phone in my pocket, if I need to buy something I just use my phone.
Rooty@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m disappointed that I haven’t yet seen an EDC picture that features a buttplug.
Cowards
Bongles@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
EDC being everyday carry, tactical at this point has lost any real meaning - pants with a few extra pockets, this wallet, any knife you might take outside of a kitchen, a water bottle holder that you can attach to something, anything that they put those little loops that are normally on military backpacks (actually there’s another example, all those “EDC” backpacks that are 150 bucks).
Nugscree@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This maybe? www.dangoproducts.com/…/t01-tactical-wallet I saw mentioned that Dango is the brand.
WhirlpoolBrewer@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m convinced this is AI. If you assume the wallet folds at the back, there is no way to get your card out. Also they have stitches and bolts presumably into a metal plate, but you don’t stitch into metal. Fake
edinbruh@feddit.it 2 months ago
It might be real, just bad. The stitches might just be holding the folded rim of the leather, while the bolts might be holding the leather onto the metal. Still, the bolts look small for the purpose.
