People with those types of weird wingdings, dingbats, dinguses, doohickeys, and thingamabobs crowding their keychains always puzzle me.

Why not have proper, normal things one would use as key chains? Like:

  • A length of 7 links of cobalt kiln recovery chain you found on the floor of an industrial site.
  • The pin of a fire extinguisher.
  • A 7gb usb flash drive in the shape of a key that used to contain an encyclopedia but that now contains a Linux boot.
  • A heavy-duty rigging hook.

Why do some people do this? Like my keys are just the keys and a worn to shit batman styled multi tool, it started black and is now grey with black accents.

I have loads of keychains because my little sister gets them for me. She's my fave person, so I can't not put them on my keys lol

you put your keys inside your pocket

she puts her keys inside the bag of holding. increasing volume reduces chances of it getting lost in this bottomless pit

[–] braxy29@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

it's just fun.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

I have 2 flat things connected to my keys that are flat, so they aren't bulky in my pocket, but they make them easier to grab.

i locked my keys in my car 4 times in a year and i learned that the bigger and noisier my keys are, the harder it is for me to forget them

One of the best things I ever bought was this bad boy.

I 3D printed something like this and love it. Made my 8 or so keys + fob super slim.

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Damn, I almost wish I had more keys just to justify this.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, it takes as little as like, 2 keys and you can load it with those little tags from supermarkets and such. Eventually I'll put my library card tag in there.

Here's what my set looks like. Some 6 years post purchase.

You have to change all your locks to have only one type of keys though.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

No, it's pretty obviously just rods going through the "eye" of the keys, any kind with holes (which are the vast majority) should work. They're obviously gonna use the same kind of keys in the product photos but that doesn't mean its a forced thing. If it was a forced thing they'd not sell at all and wouldn't have come to the position of being mentioned here.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

It only works with basic keys. Anything that isn't slender and flat with teeth on one side juste won't fit. Maybe all keys are like that in the US, but it's certainly not true elsewhere.

[–] Zorcron@lemmy.zip 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I think they try to make these things so you can just put in your normal keys, so they work with the different key profiles.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

I've got house keys, storage unit keys and padlock keys on that bad boy. I drilled out a post office key to make it big enough for the screw once.

My keys are on a stretchy thingy that attaches to a hook in my purse. Which usually hangs in front of my butt. So we say my ass unlocks doors because most of my keys are fobs. My wife has said to me in this last week "[YMCA] get over here I need your ass to unlock this" unironically. To which I responded "here just take my ass and unlock it yourself" and I handed her my purse, we have fun.

[–] OR3X@lemmy.world 89 points 1 day ago (17 children)

I do not understand this but maybe it's because I'm a guy and keep my keys in my front pocket. I keep literally the BARE MINIMUM of things on my key chain. So far as I even have separate keychains for separate vehicles instead of having one key chain for all of them. My SO on the other had has 2lbs of trinkets on her keychain.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 161 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Opposite goals. If it's in your pocket it needs to be minimal size. If it's deep in your purse, it needs to be easy to grab.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 48 points 23 hours ago

Makes complete sense. Well said

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

And if it's on a carabiner on your belt loop, you want a middle ground which is a situation in which large hair ties really shine. Added bonus, you're likely the sort who needs one regularly and likes being able to offer one to people who need one.

My girlfriend has pepper spray on hers in addition to about 15 keys, a huge key fob, and she also collects keychains.

They don't fit in any of my pockets.

I like this except for there being no reason for her to do this. She's literally taking the keys out of her purse, where they fit, and handing them to a person not carrying anything to fit these keys. So that part I don't get.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Getting them out of the way so she an find something else I'd assume

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Temporarily. To hold and gaze at while doing so! I had not thought of that.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

She may intend to leave her purse in the car and pass off her keys to her partner who has real pockets on his pants.
