I think I lost it within seconds of turning my phone on for the first time lol

[–] SnortsGarlicPowder@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

I have the round bit in my screwdriver set, the pointy bit broke off so I also now have a bent paperclip in there too.

[–] dawnslayer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I've got plenty!

tied it around my keychain because SIMs are still much more handy than esim. Phone service where I live charge a fuck ton of money everytime you re register with the QR.

Forbidden abortion tool

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I usually have one, but right now I have a paper clip with one side folded out 90° sitting in my wallet.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

You can buy screw drivers with a zillion different "proprietary" bits for driving whatever thing. This is one of them.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I have like 3 😅 and I don't even need them cause my ifixit kit has one that's a screwdriver bit but I don't wanna throw them away lol

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Mine is in my case with adapters & extra SD cards.

Where that case IS however, fuckin, no clue.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I do have one but it is because I'm lazy and dont go through my shit. I am not responsible.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

I do have one but don't know here is it in the sea of shit I have.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 2 points 2 months ago

I keep one in my travel wire pouch thingy.

I pinned one to my wall in my bedroom just in case

[–] sulgoth@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I stick them in a cork board.

[–] gazter@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

I bought a multi tool that has one of these built in.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I keep one in my keychain for the random instances I need one, especially when I'm away from home.

It's come in handy more than I thought it would.

I switch phone plans every few years, and I have no idea how esims work, so yes.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

I have some smart devices that came with these so I appear very responsible.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

Absolutely not, lol; It's the opposite. I have a keychain one that I'm too lazy to remove. And it actually twists and gets caught in the holes on adjacent keys, so it's not like I never notice it!

[–] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

No, I have OCD and everything has its spot

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

I've got at least 2 on my desk. Both from my new phones ( the one I accidentally fried in a lake and the replacement I got ). They're both connected to some little piece of magnet strip that I have no idea where it came from.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

One in my wallet at all times.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

The ones I have seen most recently are so thin and flimsy that they are worse at the job than a paperclip.

I usually find my thinnest allen wrench and use that.

[–] MSugarhill@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Multiple ones.

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I still have the box for my phone with the SIM remover still in it lol

I am the distributor of cell phones where I work. I have a box of these. They’re also useful to reset UniFi and other networking equipment.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I bought a bag of 20, stash them all over the place.

[–] recall519@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I have a key holder with a fabric holder above it for random things. Like my checkbook for paying the gardeners, the mailbox keys, and this doodad is leftover from when I used to have a rechargeable front door camera doorbell.

[–] InfinitiZEr0@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I still have my Oneplus 3 box with all the things it came with. I switched to Pixel 6A last year, because my mom dropped it and screen broke.

[–] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Wait aren't those ADHD therapeutic help made so you can feel good about losing something that easily replaced by a paperclip for once instead of losing something actually important like your keys ?

[–] anonymous111@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Taped mine to the back of my phone, hidden by the case.

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

This is the main reason I buy paperclips. I've got some of these around but I'm not sure where.
