What would you bring to an adult show and tell? (leminal.space)

I don't necessarily mean adult as in NSFW.

I'd probably bring in my RG280V. It was my first handheld emulator. I had emulated games on my phone in the past and even used a Bluetooth controller but playing on it felt different. More real in a way.

I grew up with the Game Boy so the idea of having thousands of games on the go is pretty neat to me.

I've since moved on to the RG405M.

What about you? Do you have anything neat or special to you that you could talk about for a couple minutes?

Would love to see photos as well

If we could go outdoors I could probably bring my bootleg pelican case full of ham radio equipment, deploy an HF station and try making some contacts while explaining how each of the parts works

I'm an antenna engineer. I'd bring an antenna because after hearing a lot of adult show-and-tells I figure people could probably use some sleep.

99% of audience dozing off, 1% fascinated by the mystical art of antennas and radio waves. I know the science behind it, but I still don't know how you guys came up with some of those designs.

I play Warhammer and D&D...and have extensive mini collections. I'm envisioning a diorama.

Or a few of my favorite knives and a good whetstone, to show how easy it is to do and teach a good skill!

I own a sextant. I have other cool stuff, but that's the one that probably has the most universal appeal.

This has been a very cool thread.
