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.

Where does one even find a 7gb flash drive, is that a thing?

[–] LorIps@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago

An 8Gig flash drive with bad sectors maybe?

meanwhile, I have like 3 keys. Car key, two front door keys.

[–] BrickEater@lemmy.world 1 points 25 minutes ago

Same, I don't get how people can have shit on them beside keys. My truck and car are from the 80s so they're nice and flat and even with 3 different door keys and two lock keys, my ring is only as thick as a new car fob by itself basically.

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 don’t have a ton of stuff on my keys, but I do have a cute little rabbit from a Day of the Dead restaurant I went to on vacation. I love the little bunny because when my keys fall into the depths of my biggest purse, I can just reach in, feel for the stuffy squish, and pull.

My keys consist of house, mailbox, bike chain, rabbit stuffy, TMNT Lego, and 3 library cards. My car key fob is on a separate ring with a long lanyard to find easily.

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

More evidence that giving women functional pockets would solve basically everything for everyone

[–] braxy29@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

it's just fun.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 4 points 13 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

[–] OR3X@lemmy.world 91 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 164 points 1 day ago (6 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 50 points 1 day ago

Makes complete sense. Well said

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

[–] Jank@literature.cafe 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

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

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (2 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.

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 1 points 35 minutes ago (1 children)

I used to use that kind of thing, and it was nice until I needed to carry a lever tumbler lock key and some other keys that were abnormally shaped.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 1 points 31 minutes ago

Looking at those, it seems like they would work. Might stick out a little bit on the side, but I think they would work.

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.

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago (7 children)

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.
