anyone voting G2 hasn't used one recently, or hasn't used literally any other pens in that time. I think the G2 is the absolute worst one on the list. At least the bic doesn't pretend to be able to write very well.

Pentel ENERgel pens.

But if I had to choose, 2 or 5. I have 3 at work and while it is nice, I don't know if it has the same kind of staying power 2 or 5 do.

I was always fond of how the 2 pen scratches the paper while writing.

Jetstream 0.5. Probably 5 is the closest. I still have a box of 2 floating around.

Is there a difference between #1 and #2?

Please answer fast, I am sitting on the urinal.

5 … but black and in .38

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

5

I would pick 3 but I don't think its ball point and I have trouble controlling the strength when I press down on the paper.

They are in the order I would select, rather fortuitously.

I write a lot (I am professor) and pilot g-2 (#5) is the way to go. Don't be fooled by sharpie's grip, I just finished a box of that model in red ink and g-2 is way better.

The Bic Cristal (number 7) all day long. They last forever, are dirt cheap and are the best selling pen in the world.

Definitely 5, so much better than 99% of other pens.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

No zebra? Guess I’m never writing again.

[-] Veedem@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I use 3 at work now after someone gave me one. It’s an awesome pen.

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah people here are overlooking the Sharpie pen, it's quite nice.

[-] Veedem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I’ve been a Pilot G2 guy until I was given this Sharpie.

Okay. I’ve used all of these and 3 definitely writes the best and is the most comfortable, BUT, I’ve had more of these fail or explode halfway through a cartridge multiple times.

So I have to pick my good old 5 will carry me through battle and back and I’ll lose it long before it stops writing. Never had a bad time with a 5.

7 can burn in hell

Poor ignorant fools not knowing the F-701 and F-402 hack.

Enjoy your writing in poverty and discomfort, you will never know glory because you sought comfort in convenience and thrift instead of greatness at all costs.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I don't know the difference between 1 and 2, so I'm going to go with 2. 7 in some instances though. Never 6. Fuck 6.

[-] accideath@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Can I just have a Parker IM Ballpoint? I hate plastic pens.

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 week ago

4, those pens are so smooth

[-] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

2 or 5.

5 because it's convenient and a Swiss army knife of pens.

2 because sometimes you just gotta shank a bitch.

[-] Flamekebab@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

7, because they don't feel special. I never have to fret about my brain wanting to save them for special occasions.

[-] anomoly_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I'm lamenting the fact that this scenario means I've lost all my fountain pens, but I'd go with #5 in a .38

I guess 3. Any of these pens would dry up as soon as I touch it. Graphgear 500 0.9mm drafting pencil for life.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

No fountain pens?

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I'm the only one going for #4? It's a uni ball vision elite, and I have about ten refills right now. Have had that barrel for the last fifteen or so years.
