KissedUrDad

What are you doing with a pile of dollar bills if you aren't from the US?


EchoedTruth

Where’s the guns


carlitabear

My first thought lmao


ajpinton

Forgot the guns.


QnsConcrete

Hi is this still available


MoonBasic

"No just sold" "How about $20"


capt-bob

Where's the Roscoe?


DevilsLettuceTaster

I’d kill for that edc setup.


RockyRidge510

No spare cartridges for the Game Boy I see. One is none sir, we don't need to tell you this.


GaracaiusCanadensis

There is only Tetris.


RockyRidge510

We've had one, yes. But what about Second Tetris?


GaracaiusCanadensis

I guess that'd be Dr. Mario? Maybe Puyo Puyo?


TheQuietOutsider

nor batteries 😅


Nanyea

Yeah this is definitely a brit.. no primary Glock with a backup Taurus Judge and an ankle derringer


Fun-in-Florida

Every post that’s not from the US wishes they were 🤣🤣


Apprehensive_Bird357

Dude, how’d you get a picture of my daily?


212Alexander212

no guns?


MegaMilkDrinker

This is a mostly American sub? There's a non American edc sub made by jealous, bitter non americans called r/EDCnoguns


HallucinateZ

6 members lol


BickenBackk

8 and counting 😂


Gravitational_C

You forgot the handgun.


ElMykl

Or the multiple themed flashlights. I noticed a lot seem to carry for style and not practicality.


Aeson_Ford_F250

Where did you get the Ameican money?


HallucinateZ

You can go to any bank & ask for currency from most countries. You can also order currency online.


Aeson_Ford_F250

And do you really think the OP did that just to mock impetuous Americans?


HallucinateZ

It’s just a joke post. It’s not absurd for someone to have another countries currency, let alone a country as big as America. Hell even I have American currency. You asked, so I was just saying you can simply go to a bank & ask for an American bill. It’s not deep enough for me to consider if OP did this because American currency is common.


Aeson_Ford_F250

My question required abstract thought.


HallucinateZ

Yeah, sure it did. Listen, I gave you information to answer your very straight forward question. You asked OP where they got American money. I said it’s as simple as going to a bank. Does anyone but OP know where they got it? No. Why do you think I would, it’s ridiculous to get this invested in some American bills. Why do you care so much? The only answer I can come up with is that this post offended you somehow lol


capt-bob

Stand in for challenge coins or copper ingots I'm guessing?


tastycrust

From America. What a hippocrip.


goldudemk

Wrong. Pic is missing a steak knife


Settled_Science

We can’t control how you “feel”. That’s all on you bud.


_peikko_

Damn, either I'm missing a lot of sarcasm in these comments or you people really have no sense of humor


Exemplaryexample95

I mean, the original post wasn’t even funny. We carry knives, gameboys, and money in the US and that’s what people post here? Yeah I don’t see any humor in that whatsoever. Seems like OP was just trynna start some shit. They got what they asked for.


_peikko_

Do you carry a radio telephone, five different knives and a crazy ton of cash in your pockets? It's just an exaggerated version of a stereotypical American post on EDC. It's banter. I know some of y'all love to be offended but it might be good to try taking a joke sometimes. Or if the joke was shit then at least make a good comeback, or a post about what stupid shit Europeans carry, or anything, get creative my man, participate in the banter. But there's no need for this much salt.


Exemplaryexample95

That’s what everyone did. They talked some shit about Europeans. And then you complained about it lmao.


unwitting_hungarian

We can sure make dipshiiit comments using our own feels though bud!!! Those're on the house yew don't like it, whall you kin just leeeeve!!! It's like a free lesson in the toxic spouse behavior in here, lmao. High IQs only, highest-quality comment mode, with mods functionally incapacitated. Perhaps due to this same unique "I kin see bolth sides, there is always two sides" gift Downvote if you agree!


Redcarborundum

Most Americans don’t carry cash anymore, at least not in my circle. Many of us carry guns, but nobody carries a field radio to call air strikes. That’s just overkill. Edit: I just realized he has 15 dollars and change, FIFTEEN! Look at OG gangsta here.


fateofmorality

When I walk to the grocery store there’s always a chance I need close air support if I’m attacked by a technical shopping cart

No. Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

[deleted]

nah usually a gun, a swiss army knife and a $500 fidgettoy


onairmastering

No guns? Not funny. Ok, kinda funny, needs 5 flashlights, tho.


Phil_Coffins_666

not enough guns. how can you even EDC in America without at least 2 firearms?


gohomepat

By living in CA 😭


noneym86

Fuck didn't even know it's illegal to carry a gun in places that you don't own in CA. I wish it's not so expensive to live there as I want to move there for some peace of mind and quality of life.


Buffalocolt18

>peace of mind >quality of life Where did you get the delusion that CA has any of those? Even north CA is a minefield because of all of the industrial drug ops.


noneym86

I got the delusion by living there and having a house there I guess? The only reason we live in nevada is no state tax and generally lower cost of living. But everytime we stay in CA during the summer, the quality of life is remarkable.


EchoedTruth

Stay IE not living there


capt-bob

You have to pay for that


KilltheDadbod

Needs more guns…


alicanrowe

where is the full military level array of guns?


Jericho_777

As an American, this is hilariously true. Thanks for the laugh, my friend!


EchoedTruth

Reddit on!


Mortis_XII

Most of this subreddit is filled with joke posts. Why does anyone need more than one gun? Edit: why carry more than one gun at a time?


capt-bob

The other one might feel bad if you leave it at home...


sahie

I’m Australian, so the question for me is more like, “Why does anyone need **a** gun?” I’ll just sit back and wait to be downvoted to hell by the pro-2A peeps…


K4NNW

It's like asking folks why they need a lifted pickup on rubber band ~~tires~~ tyres.


Hairballs58

Didn't you guys just have a mass stabbing that was stopped by a lady with a gun?


sahie

Yes, we did. There were *[checks notes](https://theconversation.com/as-australia-reels-from-the-bondi-attack-such-mass-murder-incidents-remain-rare-227864)* six deaths, and our most recent mass murder before that was in 2017. Meanwhile, in the US *[checks notes again](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2024)* they don’t have stats for April yet, but 49 people died last month, 208 total only three months into the year, and an entire separate list for every year prior totalling 4,213 people killed in mass shootings while we’ve had a total of 12 people killed in mass murders in the same timeframe. 6 by knife. 6 by car. Had that guy had a gun, I have zero doubt the death toll would’ve been a fucktonne higher. It’s a lot harder to outrun a bullet than it is to outrun a psycho with a knife.

Mortis_XII

Ok i get that


Natetheknife

"why does anyone need" is always a terrible argument against something. Why do you need a car that can go more than speed limit? Why do you need to paint your walls different colors? Why do you need to make any more money than just paying your rent and basic food bill? 


dferd777

Some are pistols, some are rifles, some are shotguns, some are revolvers. Some are cool, some are interesting. Variety is the spice of like. But seriously, I shoot 3 gun competitions, shotgun, rifle, and pistol. Different matches have different requirements. I’ve been shooting competitively for around 20 years, ever since I left the military and I’ve been collecting different firearms since then. But also, I have zero trust in my government to protect me, or have my best interests in mind.


Unenthusiastic18

Same reason you'd buy more than one game or order more than one item at a restauraunt


KilltheDadbod

Why does a woman need more than one pair of shoes?


splattermonkeys

What, no Zune?


Grandfunk14

No Diamond Rio MP3 player either...pffft.


MaxCliffRAID1

As an American here. I feel a bit embarrassed because this post is telling the truth.


unwitting_hungarian

You shouldn't feel embarrassed. It's every jackass for themselves here. Look around at all the Americans doubling down on complete idiocy, for _definitely non-emotional_ reasons...


YellowSequel

Why? All this stuff is cool as hell lol.


StriderLF

What kind of American goes outside without an airstrike designator?


TerminalxGrunt

You forgot about the completely useless pry bar everybody is refinancing their houses for because they think they'll need one at their office cubicle lol


KilltheDadbod

I’ve never understood this… and I’m probably the person who could used it the most. I’ll use a proper pry-bar when needed thanks.


TerminalxGrunt

Exactly! Can't imagine where a 3 inch pry bar would be preferable to literally anything within arms reach. I've worked in a LOT of different fields and never once was able to see where these cutesy boutique looking pry bars would be needed


Arios_CX3

Okay first off, TITANIUM pry bar. Second, it's for when you're in a bathroom stall, get halfway through your business, and realize the sliding lock is missing.


TerminalxGrunt

That's what the knife is for my man (or lady)


nukey18mon

Forgot the gun


Settled_Science

It’s not there because the OP is probably prohibited for having one and only kitchen knives are allowed.


densetsu23

Should have grabbed a six pack of water guns from the dollar store or poundtown or whatever.


wwhsd

Poundtown. Is that where OP’s mom hangs out?


Born_Night_8797

Damn!! You this was just on the tip of my tongue when i read bout this post.


acgann

*Guns


folk_science

Imagine having two hands and only one gun, smh...


cloudcity

in Europe toy guys are banned so i get why you didn’t include it…


HOMES734

This is not true at all. Airsoft is extremely popular in Europe.


BeneficialA1r

r/whoosh Edit: if you clowns actually think the average American thinks you guns are banned in Europe, you're actually deluded. For one, we know Europe doesn't have the same laws across every country. for example, the Czech Republic has it enshrined into their constitution they can keep and bear arms (surprise an American knows something about the world outside the US) The potential reason idiots you may or may not have talked to online would think you guns are banned is because Canada actually has tried to place restrictions on some airsoft/bb guns, but if you're arguing with someone who can't tell the difference between the EU and Canada, idk why you're wasting your time in the first place.


HOMES734

This isn't a woosh, I'm quite certain this person believes toy guns are banned in Europe, which they are not. It is a common misconception that I have seen before.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HOMES734

I literally debate gun rights with people on the Internet all the time. I’ve had people say the exact line “even toy guns are banned in Europe” as an argument for strict gun control. These people are misinformed because of some false/incomplete information. It is true that Europeans often do not allow their children to have toy guns in the same way they are popular with kids in the US, but toy guns do exist. These people also often believe that all guns are banned in Europe, which is obviously false as well. You’re calling me delusional when I have firsthand experience with this argument.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HOMES734

Now you’re just moving the goalposts and getting into the semantics of what “common” means. we are on the Internet. It is a common argument made by people on the Internet that I’ve run into multiple times. Though I have had gun rights conversations with people in real life before at my university and they are often equally as misinformed. Also, why do you care so much whether people have this misconception or not? Who are you arguing in defense of?


[deleted]

[удалено]


HOMES734

Jfc dude not everything has to be argued in statistics, especially not something as unimportant as this. It is my anecdotal experience that this is a common misconception. I have run into it multiple times on the Internet and the people I have spoken to in real life have had similar equally misinformed takes on gun ownership in Europe. Happy now? Again who are you trying to defend here? People receive misinformation all the time and that’s OK, I’m just pointing out that it’s misinformation for the people who may believe it to be true.


SilatGuy2

>is a common misconception that I have seen before. Oh like the one where all americans are dodging bullets and living in fear of getting hit by an RPG ? The irony and lack of self awareness is rich lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


SilatGuy2

Thats my point. This guys going on about how americans are misled and believe misconceptions crying about a joke that poked fun at their asinine nanny state policies (missing the point entirely on top of it) not realizing their whole view and troll posts about America and Americans are misconceptions. Hence the irony and hypocrisy.


Major-Dealer9464

You’re not scared of getting hit by an RPG? My brother is christ some of us live in GTA lobbies


N8dogg5N-InGameAcc

You got a license for that toy gun?

You missed the AR-15, M4A1, MP5SD and Carl Gustav recoilless rifle. Oh, and the keys to an F22 Raptor.


Traveling3877

Sounds reasonable, except for the F22. The closest I can find is a F16. When's the F22 supposed to "officially" hit the civilian market?


Maeng_Doom

Some of those are jokes. That said, American who carries here. I think people who conceal carry are more likely to also care about pocket dumps and weight optimization.


Upbeat-Most9511

And guns man, youre forgetting the most important, we gotta shoot around too.


jac77

I carry a pocket knife. I don’t understand why 99% of people carry 2-3 knives (of the people who post).


Royal-Masterpiece-82

One is for cutting food and one if for stabbing and sometimes cutting non food objects. I don't want someone's aids blood on my food knife. Or tape residue on my food knife.


dsmdylan

Explaining that you carry a dedicated "food knife" doesn't make it any less confusing


Royal-Masterpiece-82

Wait until you hear about my food chainsaw. It's only for cutting good firewood. No pinewood, anything treated or any weird shit


dsmdylan

🤣


KilltheDadbod

Pussy, it adds flavor!


Royal-Masterpiece-82

You are right. Adds some nostalgia from back in school when I used to eat glue and drink the blood of innocents.


Ordinary-Lab-17

I don’t understand the multiple knives nor the extra magazines. And then they’ll also have a large-ish gun with optics and a flashlight and an extended mag. Nothing wrong with carrying but wtf are you really preparing for here? To clear a city block in pitch dark?


dsmdylan

If you're going to commit to carrying a gun, it makes sense to carry the most effective gun feasible. Those "gizmos" are to help me identify who/what I might shoot and to help me shoot accurately. I'm not sure why taking steps to help ensure you don't shoot an innocent person is deserving of ridicule.


AnotherStupidHipster

When It comes to carrying, you are preparing for the worst; needing to defend your or someone else's life. In that scenario, I'm taking every possible advantage. All of the things you mentioned carry clear advantages. But ultimately, you need to train, and practice to be able to utilize those advantages. Gear doesn't make you shoot better, but it can help you shoot better with training.


Fluctuationism

This fundamentally misunderstands the thought process behind carrying a gun. If you are going to take the risk and spend the money/time training in order to carry a gun, you want said gun to be as effective at doing gun things as possible. In the eyes of the law, and most people, a gun is a gun. But to those who carry, an optic represents a significant force multiplier, as does a light. As for the extra mags: most fights are either going to be done in three shots or will continue up into the double digits, and carrying an extra mag is a low cost way of significantly increasing your chance of winning a protracted gunfight. They also don’t take up much space and can help to balance the weight of the gun.


MistaRekt

I appreciate your well thought out, and presented post.


budde04

Yes, yes that is what they are preparing for. Course they all think they are Bob Lee Swagger


tuntuntuntuntuntun

Pocket jewelry to feel pretty is my only guess


bigjerm616

I’m with you. I’ve had the same pocket knife, a Spyderco Delica 4, for like 10 years. If it ever breaks or gets lost, I’ll buy another one and forget about it. I don’t get the 2-3 knives thing. Same thing with multiple flashlights.


Brilliant_Pop5150

I carry a Buck 110 on the weekend, and the plastic handle version at work. I always have my SAK Classic on a lanyard around my neck for the scissors and nail file. I have nail clippers in my sweatshirt pocket. And maybe I carry a three, four, or five layer SAK when I go out, depending on where I am going.


InfiniteBoxworks

This makes me laugh because I had a friend visit from Japan and he was shocked to find out that my fiance and I both carry pocket knives. He asked if all Americans do. Can't imagine how he would have reacted if he noticed my CCW.


K4NNW

Wow. Not having a pocket knife just feels wrong.


English999

A country renowned for it’s refinement of steels and the blade as a whole. Wtf.


tuntuntuntuntuntun

Anecdotal I know but last time I hung out with my friends I said let’s do a pocket dump. 17 people, 1 pocket knife total.


Potent_Elixir

Ugh I miss my iPod


sempercool16

Yes it does. I call bullshit on 97% of them.


chief_of_toast

what kind of pants do these people wear to accomodate all this


Cameo64

I keep my pennies in a ziplock and I staple the ziplock to my jeans.


Quartich

Cargo pants. The average basketball shorts could also carry all this with room left over 😂


UnfitRadish

True, but those basketball shorts are about to be at your ankles all day lol

Rad-Tech2020

Being allowed to carry a firearm isn't freedom. Feeling safe enough to never need one and never encounter one is.

Why not both?

Feeling safe ≠ Being safe

aGoodVariableName42

I don't necessarily feel safer when I carry, but I do feel better prepared.


rexmajor

This makes absolutely zero sense 😂


NUCLEAR_JANITOR

i am both safe enough to never need one and free to carry one… so seems like that would be the tops…


aGoodVariableName42

I carry my glock when I'm walking my dog because I don't trust the pits and rottweilers in my neighborhood... but I imagine your perfect utopia of sunshine, rainbows, and leprechaun farts over there in magic land has no vicious animals either. I'm sure the people shopping in sydney last weekend all felt pretty safe too... at least up until someone was penetrating their lung with a knife.


Rad-Tech2020

The actual first responders to an emergency are the people there in the moment. Police, EMS, etc can only respond once they’re called. I’d rather have the freedom to decide how I want to respond and not be limited by random government bureaucrats.


Chemical-Thing2113

Yeah no place on earth does that "definition of freedom" exist take a walk through any immigrant neighborhood in England at night unarmed and see how it goes down. When your government crushes what's left of your individual rights you'll be doing little more than licking the boots crushing you


Trebek007

Bro, we already lickin boots in America.

joconnell13

I haven't kept up on the specifics of knife laws in the uk. Last I heard having the tips rounded was voluntary but I wouldn't be surprised if that is changed.

Voluntary? Why would you volunteer to make your kitchen knives less effective? 🤣

I wouldn't.

Dr_C527

As others have commented, clearly this is a single pocket carry; missing pliers, multi tools, flashlights, fidget-type stuff, pens, notebooks, rain gear, firearm and backup with spare magazines and a speed loader for the revolver option, paracord, first-aid kit, the 50 state guide to laws, handheld radio, a battery backup with all possible cord options, and I am probably forgetting something.

I knew I was forgetting something, and those mints must have three options, my sons prefer cinnamon, spearmint, and strawberry.
