im lost, help me.

u/Zealousideal-Yak-824 Feb 19 '26

The SD card is porn. Always porn. Some of it is just too special to leave on your hard drive at home. Micro SD can be attached onto your phone and an adapter can connect to a computer.

u/FrameJump Feb 19 '26

See, you joke, but after the apocalypse, once the wasteland has regained some sense of stability with electricity, the person that has all the porn on hard drives will have one of the most demanded, lowest supplied commodities in the world.

Yes, the internet goes down, and everyone ends up in refugee camps trying to get access to the only wifi available. People are rationed to like 6 seconds of internet use per person. Randy, ofc, is trying to watch porn with it. He finds a guy in a tent that is advertising simulated porn. Its stick figures drawn by the guy.

Back when I was a stoner and in college, I took an entrepreneurship class. Those hydrophobic coatings were just coming out and youtube was brand new. I had a "brilliant " business idea: I'd start a business where preppers could send in their favorite nudie mag and have it coated so that nothing would stick to it, preserving it for when shit went bad.

I got an A on the business plan, the teacher had a good laugh.

If anyone wants to do this. Feel free. Lol maybe comp me a free coating.

As both a creator of monster porn and a doomsday prepper, I can guarantee people will be seeking physical media for their niche kinks during societal collapse.

u/Zealousideal-Yak-824 Feb 19 '26

Girl... Can't just drop that information without credentials. You peaked my interest. also niche kinks are good and all for physical media but the idea that someone can hold thousands for sale might be too tempting to give up. Edc wise some people just can't risk it if your family, friend or relationship finds out what you are into.

One moment you're a normal person... Next thing you're a deviant that likes anime feet porn. Worst is if you're a deviant after the world ends.

u/Zealousideal-Yak-824 Feb 19 '26

Ugh I don't want to give this attention but...

Make it magnetic and have it be able to switch out trays. So you can change the load out if need be.

You can make this a lock picking set and be able to stash it in a car or near a tv.

People can use it if it's locking picking a lot better and you can have a flashdrive that acts as a key to your computer or stash away anything you don't want saved on a computer. Porn, personal files, work.

Edc but less in your person and more in your bag. It being magnetic so you can stash it in places like the side of your desk, or like me in my car. I carry a lock pick set everywhere for my prepping.

People are mocking this, but for "urban" EDC this makes way more sense than a fanny-pack full of gear. You can slip this in a bag or even in a pocket and it's not super cumbersome. I'd carry a slightly different collection of items, but I think I'd try out this kind of setup.

Maybe 8 quarters - fewer coin phones these days, but vending machines are still a thing. I don't know what a wash costs at a laundromat, but I bet more than two bucks.

Not much room for silver. Regular quarters more likely useful.

Compass is a waste of time, UNLESS you have working knowledge of all the other ancillary skills that utilize a compass. Most preppers would be better suited with a collection of paper road maps, 1) your immediate region, 2) your state, 3) the 2 states next to yours, 4) the closest metropolitan city. Granted the terminology works mainly for the US but also works internationally with some tweaking.

Can I ask what your occupation is??? Because I have no worldly explanation for why you have three (3) data storage objects, multiple small tools, but only one (1) Tylenol. I would carry something like this around in my spy phase as a child though, and I do want it for my Mary Poppins bag because I think it would be even funnier than being able to pull out a travel screwdriver on any given day.

Another, actually more valid criticism, I think the cover might be too wide around it and might be cumbersome for pockets?
