Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch.
I get uncomfortable when they’re not in my pockets…
I used this meme to get ready today but I messed up and accidentally left the house with keys, wallet, and Stalin
Yeah, I thought this meant like UK was the keys to the allies getting a real foothold in Europe, America was the one providing the funding and Russia…
…is a cell phone?
I think I overthought this meme.
Russia is who you call. When you need them to come to war and bring 10 million of their closest friends.
Russia…
…is a cell phone?
The Soviets did invent them.
Didn’t some dude from Motorola do that?
Martin Cooper, but I think maybe UnderpantsWeevil was making a joke.
Edit: Nope, they were serious but it’s not exactly what we’d think of as a cell phone as far as I can tell.
Cell phones were invented in America, weren’t they?
Leonid Kupriyanovich, a Moscow engineer, developed a series of experimental pocket-sized radios in the 1950s and 1960s:
- In 1957, Kupriyanovich patented a wireless phone device that weighed about 3 kg.
- In 1961, he presented a portable phone that weighed 70 grams and could fit in the palm of your hand.
- Kupriyanovich’s radiotelephones shared a common base station, which we now call a cell tower.
- Kupriyanovich’s “Altay” radio-based cell network was used by emergency services and remained popular after the fall of the Soviet Union.
However, the Soviet bureaucracy prioritized using early cell phone research to develop car phones for the Soviet upper ranks instead of mass producing cell phones for the general public.
So should we give credit to people like Marconi and Tesla for inventing what we know today as the cell phone? I suppose the delineation isn’t necessarily so clear.

For the telephone, certainly. And for a host of other radio-based technology. You should probably include Michael Faraday and James Maxwell.
But Kupriyanovich holds the patent on wireless telephones, specifically.
Got any links that shows pictures of all these devices? The article is kinda sparse but it sounds fascinating.
View the keys, wallet, and cell phone as the necks connecting the bodies to the heads above.

Ah, that’s where I left them.
I’m to the point I need to carry two pairs now, it’s so frustrating.
Right pocket, right pocket, left pocket.
Why in that order? Because I used to keep my keys in me left pocket and wallet in my right (before the smartphone was a thing yeah I’m old), but once I got a smartphone I didn’t want to damage the screen, so into the right pocket the keys went, and only the phone goes in the left pocket and nothing else so it won’t get scratched.
I’m the opposite for the same reasons. I just like the phone on the right since it’s easier to reach with my main hand. Although, reaching across my body for keys can be awkward when carrying groceries and stuff
Just remember WOWEE
I have almost forgotten my Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on several occasions
EDC THREAD, SQUARE UP!
sound of 20 Glocks hitting a table
i love edc stuff but i am always questioning myself on how tf those people carry everything without always thinking about the 20 things in their pockets
My dumbass is always over here going
…but if their phone is on the table, what took the photo?
Came here for this. Sandler for the win.
As my great grandfather used to say: “specitacals, testicles, wallet and watch”
My wallet has been replaced by earbuds as i can use my phone for payments, but like to listen to podcasts on the go.
I’m free from keys. The car opens with my phone and my home has a keypad at the door.
I just carry a small sling bag I wear across my body that contains the big 3 + hand sanitizer. Although I usually keep my car fob in my pocket so the proximity detection works when I grab the door handle to automatically unlock it. It feels so much better to have almost nothing in your pockets once you get used to it.
