I'm so tired of seeing ads for these things.

Where do I put my cash? Where do the coins go? Where do I keep the photo of my cat? What if I have more than 5 cards?

Why is it so expensive?

THIS IS NOT A GOD DAMN WALLET!!! You might as well tie your 3 cards with a rubber band and call that a wallet!

FUCK YOU

Where do I put my cash

The money clip

Where do the coins go

take a penny plate

Where do I keep the photo of my cat?

Breast pocket, closest to your heart.

What if I have more than five cards

Alright moneybags, no need to brag.

While these are overpriced, it's not really any different from a leather slim wallet.

I have more than five cards because I have a library card, driver's licence, etc...

You just don't get it, it's the sleek tacticool wallet for the hip digital nomad. Meanwhile my broke ass has had the same fossil wallet since senior high school.

Why can’t they invent anything besides some rectangular slab? Phone needs to be a slab, desktop needs to be a slab on a stand, we’ve got a reading slab for ebooks.

And now this slab for putting in all your small e cash slabs.

Come to humans we got:

  1. Taking a normal plant and making it so fat and juicy it'll die unless you watch it.

  2. Groups of about 50 guys for some reason!

  3. Putting colors and shiny stuff on our walls and shit.

  4. Burning a thing : )

  5. The Slab:

My wallet is vegan and made of bicycle tires and I've had it for at least seven thousand years

One of the most underrated things about living in China is not having to carry keys or a wallet.

Front pockets: copy of Quotations from Chairman Mao, packet of cigarettes, a lighter, and phone.

My brother had not been back in the motherland in a hot minute and the dumbass tried to buy ¥6 street food with a ¥100 bill in the 2025 and getting told they don't have change so he had to go to a Walmart to get a single pack of chewing gum so he could get change to pay for food.

You're putting coins in your wallet?

[-] kleeon@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago

Yes. Where else am I supposed to put them?

[-] VHS@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days ago

I keep coins in the small fifth pocket of my jeans, I don't like sitting on them

You’re supposed to hide a former chex-mix bucket somewhere at home, comrade. Then, during the arduous months, you feed each coin into the machine at supermarket checkout holding up the line like hell cause you’ll be fucked if you’re giving some bourgeoisie robot bandit 12.9% of my fucking coins. Fuck the U.S. it is literally what it wants people to think the USSR was.

i could never use this because i'm a boomer who still carries a bit of cash and once in a while will save receipts

i think it's popular with the segment of the EDC crowd obsessed with hyper optimizing things including the size/weight of what they bring around

But why carry card in a thing when you can carry it without a thing fry

last few times i was in northern/western europe, i noticed people there don't use cash for some reason (some shops even refuse to take cash? ok i guess i'll just leave then), but they also don't have any modern payment systems like in developed countries. so people just pay with cards like it's 2005. so i guess for dutchies/germs/scandals/anglers this wallet is useful?

There are cute credit card shaped pocket saws with some hex sockets and angle measuring cut outs.

Used it once

[-] Nacarbac@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago

I got one free at a job fair thing - and after five years the only time I remembered it and took it out of my wallet was to chuck it in the bin at the airport because it set off the scanner...

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 15 points 6 days ago

i don't get it either. the traditional wallet design has been around for centuries. holds an assortment of shit of various sizes. bank cards, id cards, business cards, paper bills, and priority papers like checks, notes. i dont carry all that shit all the time and keep my wallet paired down to the essentials, but it can accomodate all of those things easily.

an ideal wallet is sized to the pocket i put it in, because thats where it lives. its essentially a nest of pockets that is sized to fit into a garment pocket.

these new wallets are sized to a accomodate a specific sized item, which was itself originally sized to accomodate wallets. it seems like ass-backward design. ive thought about trying one out for a bit just to see, but they seem pretty overpriced for what they are. and they'd be loose in my pocket, because they're awkwardly sized compared to any pocket i would put it in.

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Vastly inferior to the phone case that's also a wallet.

I walk around with a cloth wallet that was made in Cuba. Holds onto everything I need and is bendy.

[-] CarbonConscious@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

I'm admittedly a removed for dorky gadgets, and I've been trying to find a replacement for this 10 dollar basic leather wallet ever since I got it in high school decades ago, so the idea of something like this rings my bell every time I see it.

But any time I've put a single second of thought into what actually using this type of thing on a daily basis would be like, I immediately ick. Just completely ludicrous design.

[-] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

usually these types of wallets you open them and there is a series of straps that keeps things in.

Coins in your wallet? What?

ID, several credit cards, insurance cards, some cash. I have a thin unfolding wallet but it holds all of that at least.

That wallet aesthetic is for the man in your life who needs everything to be TACTICAL and all their shirts have that black and white american flag on them.

maybe that thick plastic is designed to block RFID signals too.

What do you mean what? Do normal people put them up their ass or something? Yes, I keep coins in my wallet

Capitalism can commodify even the lack of something and make you pay extra for it.

Innovation. wow

[-] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago

I have one it was 2 dollars off alibaba. Works fine for holding cards which is all I need it for.

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago

I like minimal wallets (that are still wallet like), but these things always look super uncomfortable to carry around in your pocket. Why would anyone want it so angular and sharp edged? I carry a pocket knife that fulfills those functions.

[-] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

I prefer this to an OG wallet. I don't really carry anytbing so it takes up less space.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

No sirree

My partner got me a bomb Bloodborne wallet, etched with all of the Caryll runes

Perfect for carrying my walking around money

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

Ive never understood wallets anyway. I out my cards in my pocket, I dont need a smaller pocket to put them in and then put that in my pocket. It's also putting all your eggs in one basket and im a one basket per egg kinda guy. Ive lost cards before but inly ever one at a time and some help you get others easy. Theres a $15 fee for getting a new ID and it's quicker to get a new bank card with your ID on hand. I only have 3 cards at most times and one is a discount card for a brewery where the staff already knows I get a discount.

[-] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 6 days ago

Expensive?? Lol whoever the seller is is straight up drop shipping these, you can get them for like 0.99 on temu or Aliexpress

Coins and cash are supposed to be wadded and jangling in various pockets

The photo of your cat is supposed to be tattooed on your chest

And they hold like 20 cards, idk

[-] Jew@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

I decided to carry a tiny wallet and its one of the best changes I've ever made in my life. My butt barely ever falls asleep now

My wallet is a phone case, and the phone has a little magnetic jacket I can pop out to stick onto any metal surface.
