   Now, I mentioned the other day about how audiophiles are all retarded faggots who love placebo, but there is a group that competes head to head with them in retardness, and those are the EDC guys.
   Every time I want to see a review of some pocket knife or flashlight, I invariably end in the youtube channel of some crazy dude who carries 10lbs of gear everywhere he goes and reviews and makes lists of a metric shit ton of "everyday carry" gizmos that are very expensive and ultimately useless.
   
   I mean, just as you leave it to "audiophiles" to spend lots of money in fancy cables and shit that does nothing at all, to then listen to shitty music, you can leave it to "prepared" guys to spend a ton of money in fancy items that have 1/10th of the usability of a real item, because "it is lightweight so I can carry it with me all the time". These are the guys who hope for a zombie apocalypse so they can save the day with the pressurized pen in their keychain or some bullshit like that.
   
   For instance, why the fuck would anyone with an IQ above room temperature pay 30 bucks for a fucking titanium spirit level that can be used as a pendant? For a sixth of that price I can get a real spirit level with multiple angles and magnetic affixing. For half that price I can buy a fucking laser level.
   I can understand wanting to have a small Victorinox pocket knife in your keychain, or a Leatherman (and I'm actually considering getting a Leatherman Squirt for my keychain, because although a bit bulkier, it's way more useful than a SAK), but in what situation would you need your emergency spirit level that is strapped to your keychain or to a necklace?
   
   I was just watching a guy saying that this 20 bucks "micro blade" sucked in every aspect as a knife (like actually cutting anything), but he was still recommending it and saying it was something he carried with him all the time because it was "an excellent package opener".
   You know what also makes for an excellent package opener? A KNIFE! With the added bonus that usually a knife works pretty well for all other knife things the microblade sucks at.
