Small high power flashlight, about the size of a tube of m&ms. People laugh at it all the time, but it comes in handy weekly, sometimes daily.
Think of how many times you pull out your credit cell phone light. Now imagine being able to light up a room like daylight if need be. Very useful.
Those same people who laugh, eventually realize the value, and come asking for my light when we’re together and it’s needed
My fingerprints.
Probably not super unique but a glass breaker/seatbelt cutter. If I’m in an accident or I come upon one, I want that ability with me.
Made a 5" aluminum baseball bat in high school shop class learning how to use a lathe. It’s been on my keys ever since. Things is probably older than most folks reading this.
Post bat or gtfo
Well now I want to see it!
I keep ear plugs in my zip pouch wallet so I’m always ready for any concerts or random loud areas.
I keep a pair of those loop ones in my backpack for the same reason
I keep a pack of disposable ones in my fanny pack. It’s useful because sometimes someone in the group needs em.
Syringe of thermal paste
I’m now imagining two random strangers meeting in a random place, one of them with an overheating laptop, and asking the other “got some paste?” like smokers sometimes ask for a lighter.
At a certain point in time i carried a distinct coin with a scratch mark i made on it so i can flip it and see if i could make it fly (i was heavy into lucir dreaming at the time lmao). Its mostly influence from inception, u can get the same result from just counting your fingers, they look super weird in dreams😭
How do you do the lucid dreaming stuff?
There’s a couple different aspects, and a variety of techniques. First part is to create a habit of something. Previous poster seems to be using a coin flip. For me, I like to make a habit of pinching my nose closed and trying to inhale through it. Obviously, this doesn’t work when you are awake, but will work if you are dreaming. It may take weeks of developing this habit (do it every time you think of it), before the habit makes it into your dream.
Realizing that you are dreaming may wake you up the first few times, but eventually, you will be able to stay asleep while aware you are dreaming: aka lucid dreaming.
The other part, aside from developing that habit, is prepping yourself before sleep. Again, you’ll find different techniques, but here’s the one I favor. Lay on your back in bed, eyes closed. Focus on your legs, for 10 breaths, then your arms for 10 breaths, then your sense of hearing for 10 breaths, then sight (eyes still closed) for 10 breaths, sense of touch for 10 breaths, etc. Keep cycling through until you fall asleep. This primes you to be “located” in your body once you fall asleep. If you’re lucky, you’ll perform your “habit”, realize you’re asleep, and have full control of your body! Good luck :)
Not necessarily unique, but I mostly always carry a small pouch containing a full D&D dice set.
I haven’t needed dice in… years, now that I think about it, but I carry them as a symbol of luck. Not good luck or bad luck, just luck, chance. Helps me keep things in perspective when everything goes sideways.
You never know when you’ll find yourself in a position where there are 20 choices and you just can’t decide.
Oh, no, that particular D20 is a drama queen. I’d rather take a guess than trust that die.
…but it’s the one you carry everywhere?
Good way to create 20 different timelines…
Don’t worry, we’re in the worst one
Far Cry: Blood Dragon tought me you can use them to distract your enemies.
I do have an XL D100 I bought more as a collectible, treated copper alloy! Think it could be classified as lethal under appropriate use conditions!
My granfather’s watch.
Keister watch.
A metal red uno reverse card sits in my wallet. It was a gift from my girlfriend and an acknowledgement of our in joke of replying no u to compliments and I love yous.
I’ve started carrying a fountain pen rather than a typical ballpoint. I think the writing experience is a bit more pleasant.
A crow-calling whistle and a small tin of peanuts.
Presumably the peanuts to lure squirrels, and the whistle to sic your black-feathered demon army on them, you sicko
I’m indifferent to squirrels… but my city has hired a falconer to scare the crows away with hawks, so now the crows symbolize the oppressed masses being persecuted by the state.
Out there is someone with a hawk-whistle and a jar of raisins. I pray that you too shall never meet.
I doubt the falconer would have any issue with me—I’m helping to keep them employed.
Look, would you stop being reasonable for a second and just fight already?
That’s what I’m secretly training the crows for.
My daily carry bag always includes my Kindle, my cribbage board, and dog treats.
Leaving aside points about driving licence numbers being unique or whatever, it would be the silver pentagram that I made back in the '90s and have worn (or occasionally carry in my wallet etc, when the cord breaks) ever since.
An arch lighter version of a zippo. It fits in traditional zippo cases so I have a collection of shells that I change out to fit the mood. The current one is matte black with a cthulhu theme in brass but normally I use the mercury glass with bones and flowers. My wife calls it my zappo.
Also the severed finger of an elf.
