    What is the thing immediately to the right of the lighter? What is its purpose?

      A lot of people like to carry anal beads and nipple clamps around in their pockets on a daily basis these days, due to the rapid rise of people with self-diagnosed ADHD.

        I’m always amazed at the imagination people have in interpreting what things are lmao like I can 100% see knucklebones being seen as butt plugs, I can kinda see the begleri as beads, but I’m so so so curious though, which are meant to be the nipple clamps here? The overlapping rings with the rainbow bands? The magnetic sticks?

        And some of us carry these things for bonafide on paper diagnoses 😏

    I’m a big fidget toy guy and your post the other day introduced me to begleri; made some homemade ones the day after and they have helped me sit through some really long lectures. Thanks!

      Holy shit, that’s a good wiki rabbit hole. I just learned about worry beads, prayer beads, and the fact ostrich egg beads are considered among the earliest ornaments created by Homo sapiens. I highly encourage people to check it out, if they have time to burn.

    There are clipper jet lighters. They’re wind proof, but they use a little extra butane. Definitely a convient addition to your edc, though.
