    This is less of a problem for me these days.

    My phone is my primary source of audio content, so it’s easy to remember. I also have a smart / keypad lock, a digital wallet, a physical wallet that magnetically connects to my phone case, and my keys / phone have UWB trackers on them.

    The world may be getting shittier, but we have top scientists and engineers working on the “I forgot my keys / wallet” problem.

      When I travel, I love places with digital keylocks and digital wallet.

      I felt real cyberpunk to use my phone to map how to get to my fancy hotel/Airbnb that unlocked automatically when I got near and wave my phone at the vending machine to get a soda and then order food through my phone.

      The part I panic about is constantly keeping my phone charged.

    My phone NEVER leaves my side, that’s not a big issue. And thankfully my wallet is 99% obsolete, as most of the cards are already in my phone, and the few that aren’t fit in my flip case. Keys are another story, fuck keys! Bulky loud ass bullshit! I’d love a keychain that could live in my phone or have the format of a card.

    My Renault car has a pretty neat card that auto locks and unlocks the car. I just keep it in my breast pocket (or backpack in the summer) and forget about it.

      There are electronic keys. NFC and the like. Better yet, if you have a smart watch it can act like a key.

    I used this meme to get ready today but I messed up and accidentally left the house with keys, wallet, and Stalin

      Well, at least you’re gonna get shit done today. Try to steer clear the crimes against humanity, though…

    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.

          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.

              So should we give credit to people like Marconi and Tesla for inventing what we know today as the cell phone?

              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.

      Russia is who you call. When you need them to come to war and bring 10 million of their closest friends.

    View the keys, wallet, and cell phone as the necks connecting the bodies to the heads above.

    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
