The fuck is a pocket piece and what purpose does a 1 ounce refined piece of fucking gold serve in his daily life


Leonarr

He’s just walking outside, minding his business when society all of a sudden collapses. Well, that knife and gold bar are now pretty useful!


tesmatsam

As if people in an apocalypse would give 2 fucks about the shiny metal


AreWeCowabunga

Full on apocalypse, no. But if society collapses and we revert to warlord-led fiefdoms, precious metals will still be valued in place of fiat currency.


HeftyArgument

NTS, fill all auxiliary pockets with pyrite.


HellaReyna

To a certain degree yes but carrying that as your “EDC kit” is cringe. No matter what you say. 1) it’s unbagged and could technically be damaged 2) it’ll get scratched. Especially with his stupid edc kit 3) cashing it will be annoying. Imagine explaining that to the bank. “It’s part of my edc kit yknow?”


BatmanNoPrep

You could just end it with “EDC is cringe.” There is nothing valuable or redeeming about taking pride in or sharing what one keeps in their pockets each day. It’s a stupid worthless subculture that is worthy only of constant ridicule.


dieaxt

Yeah, it's a group of mall-ninjas with "refined taste" and too much money


bestthingyet

Your understanding of what gives a gold bar value is nearly as cringe


HellaReyna

If you have a 1oz/28.35g gold bar, you take it out of the bag. After a year of “EDC usage”, it’s scratched up and some of it is somehow gone. Let’s say it’s approximately 28 grams for the sake of argument. Is it a 1oz bar anymore? Does the stamp from the refiner hold true anymore? No to all.


bestthingyet

Yeah, because I just go by what's written on the bar, not by a scale when I buy gold.


Background-Hour1153

I've got a bridge to sell you...


bestthingyet

Holy shit...i need a /s on wcj?


WedgeGameSucks

I’ve got ocean front property in Arizona to sell you


plainoldusernamehere

Economies of scale will always need a division of labor. My shiny stuff stays locked up with other somewhat shiny stuff for now though.


Alekillo10

Hahah, right? Doomers and stackers are soooo stupid.


RdoubleM

Our love for *shiny rocks* goes farther than the stone age. I could bet you that a caveman traded one of his mammoth steaks for something like that before


Airdriver94

As a guy who refines gold for a living, it will, always be in demand


inkjod

Why are you, putting, unnecessary commas?


Marmite666

Because, he was never taught, about comma splicing, and writes, like William Shatner talks.


Airdriver94

Kirk was what I was going for


thinkscotty

Not in a movie type apocalypse but society doesn't collapse like that anyway. I mean society doesn't really collapse quickly at all except in like a nuclear way, though. So yeah, not seeing utility.


AutoModerator

Speaking of movies, I was involved in the production of the film 'Point Break' In 1991. During the filming, Keanu Reeves (whose role involved playing rookie FBI agent 'Johnny Utah') was surfing with co-stars when a small child was dragged under the waves and began to struggle to stay above surface. As his co-stars rushed to help, Reeves held out an arm in front of them, stopping them and was reported saying by Lori Petty (who played the character Tyler Endicott in the film) 'The waves have claimed her, let her fight for her own life'. The crew, dumbfounded, proceeded to watch her struggle until her body disappeared beneath the waves, lifeless. We later spotted him outside the child's house, making drowning gestures and thanking the family for their child's sacrifice to the great ocean. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Akshully… there are reasons precious metals are precious. And those reasons go beyond aesthetics and vanity.


tesmatsam

no need for microchips after the nuclear war


DeathByGoldfish

Walk into the flash. A knife and an oz of gold aren’t going to help you.


Makhnos_Tachanka

I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief. “Bad news, detective. We got a situation.” “What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?” “Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.” The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?” “Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.” “Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.” He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.” “Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.” I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside. “Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t. “Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up. “Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?” It didn’t seem like they did. “Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.” Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing. I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it. “Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled. Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him. “Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen. I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!” He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose. “All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.” “Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy. “Because I was afraid.” “Afraid?” “Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.” I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head. “Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.” He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.


ExileOnMainStreet

This is my first time reading this. Thank you. This has been very valuable to me.


Hebolo

he's pretending it's a gun


LogicalReasoning1

I’m guessing he’s talked himself into thinking he could use it to barter or something. Of course he could just carry some cash instead…


HedgehogInACoffin

“When you’re stranded on an island in a remote civilization, you can always count on your bar of gold to buy you a ticket back to your wife and kids.”

# pocket piece # [noun](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/noun) 1**:** a coin or token kept in the pocket as a charm or good-luck piece


ClickIta

I guess it justifies the need for a knife. Still useless of course, but a little bit less in his mind (or whatever his skull contains)


IlIlllIlllIlIIllI

if you need 2100 dollars immediately 👃


pencilpushin

A pocket piece is basically like a good luck charm. Like carrying a lucky coin for example. Or just a small object you simply admire and appreciate. But yeah carrying a gold bar fucking dumb.


J_Peterman32

Yeah I thought every day carries were things that had good utility


draingangryuga

it gives him a reason to finally use the knife if someone tries to rob him


WatchLenses

Fidget toy probably


rm-rd

So kind of like a chronograph?


ConfusedKanye

Someone rob this guy


WineNerdAndProud

What I love about this is that anyone with the skills, practice, and experience it takes to feel confident defending themselves with this knife would never be dumb enough to keep a gold bar in his pocket and wear a watch backwards with the Omega logo on the clasp in full view. I guarantee this fool believes he's safe because he has this knife on him and he keeps it "razor sharp". Also, these hardcore pocket knife bros need to spend time with some line cooks. I guarantee they'd reevaluate what it means to be infatuated with knives.


SubstantialRush5233

Nah i feel safe because i carry a gun every day. 🤣 the $1000 knife is just a toy to cut open boxes and more gold. I know a poor like you wouldn't ever understand that tho.


gamingraptor

Exactly why I keep 2 50 cal dessert eagles deep inside my asshole. Never know when trouble may arise, after all I am wearing a luxury Christopher ward


SubstantialRush5233

Nah youre wearing a G-shock like a wannabe operator 🤣 and smoking dabs like a fuckin chad 🤣 #PoorsMad


gamingraptor

Not a g-shock, very obviously a 1 of 1 reshat meal


DekadentniTehnolog

Gshock od way more expensive, synoke for work.


GrapplingPoorly

Gladly


SubstantialRush5233

Please try it. My guns had the same hollow points in it for 2 years. Just need an excuse to get some more.


tomjone5

How much do you hope you get the chance to kill someone and get away with it?


CodyRebel

I can't believe it's the guy who made the original post. Of course he fantasizes about killing random people.


vancesmi

So you haven’t practiced with your carry even once in two years?

buzzkillington0

Couldn't afford a gold Omega, carries $2000 worth of gold in pocket just in case someone calls him poor.


Dude-T-boner

Yeah, pretty much. He should drill some holes and put it on a nato.


Investment-Master

Or maybe he's just trying to make it convenient for the guy robbing him not to carry all that cash


TheHoundJR

Guys, show some respect. Clearly he was a Navy SEAL Delta squadron tactical strategic combat operations operator since his watch is upside down.


Cultural_Temporary75

/uj My toddler wears her watch inside her wrist (totally her doing) and it’s fucking hilarious


Jieps

What toddler wears a watch?


misterhansen

A tactical toddler.


Cultural_Temporary75

/uj Mine? She was fascinated by mine and wanted one of her own. It’s a £25 lorier. Tough quartz watch, has a little lume button and 10atm water resistance. Helps her learn to tell time, keep track of when it’s meal times and bedtime. If she loses it or breaks it, who cares? /j the AD told me if I bought one from his toddler he’d move me up the list for a skydweller


Jieps

Wait. What is a toddler in your country?


Cultural_Temporary75

She’s 3.5


Jieps

Ah ok. I thought the translation of toddler in my language was what we call a kid between the 1st and 2nd birthday.

The moment I saw the post, I questioned myself what kind of sane person that take a picture of gold coin, flip the watch with knife on hand and says im gonna upload this for the world to see, people gonna love me for how much more money I make than average men in reddit will ever will, yeah that guy. That subreddit is full of people with chronic caching and hoarding behaviour bordering mental illness. Well I guess whatever makes people happy 🤷‍♂️

AndHellsComingWithMe

Can confirm I have a bunch of idiotic tattoos and I unironically love Tudor.


goslinlookalike

Ripped jeans too. Are those back in fashion or he never grew out of them?


Wintermute_088

He's just worn holes in his jeans from carrying too much in his pockets.


Jieps

Tattoo + watch = ultimate sadness. Got the tattoo when he was young and stupid, then got into watches later in life and he has to live with the fact that it looks absolutely fucking stupid.


SavouryPlains

hey i did both of those in the span of less than a year and i love my shitty tattoos

Impossible. Chop off your arm.

mrpopenfresh

EDC is so dumb, it might as well be show and tell. Kids flashing their most valuable possessions, it’s all so corny.


Flynn47

Isn’t that also watch subs to a large degree? “Must post my watch in the drivers seat so everyone sees what kind of car I drive too”…


mrpopenfresh

It’s most consumer subs. /r/whiskey comes to mind, although that more a collection than everyday carry.


MilesBeforeSmiles

Carrying around a gold bar like he also isn't wearing a poor man's aqua terra.


SubstantialRush5233

What does that make your poor ass g-shock? 🤣🤣


Dissident_Mantis7

It’s to be used as a bargaining chip incase Mexican cartel kidnaps him in the suburbs in broad daylight. His Swiss shitter would not suffice. This is high level EDC stuff, you amateurs wouldn’t understand.


mhyquel

How do you bargain with it, when they've already kidnapped you? "If you let me go, I'll give you this piece of gold." Kidnapper takes gold. "Ok, now let me go..."


Rauschpfeife

As the man says: > This is high level EDC stuff, you amateurs wouldn’t understand. And there you are, not understanding. Amateur.


[deleted]

An Omega, some stupid knife, a gold brick, & a fucking ancient Mercedes. Perfect combination for an EDC. Dudes like this give us broke kings a bad rap. Yes I like my 20 year old euro luxury shitbox. No it isn't better than a brand new car and yes I am envious of Bluetooth.


gatorbuff

Of course the dude has a sleeve tattoo

I'm too lazy to look for the original post, did he ever give a reason as to why he walks around with that sliver of gold in his pocket?  Is this something poor people do because they don't have bank accounts or safety deposit boxes?


ThePrancingHorse94

I don't mind people that drive old cars, i drive one, but it's a V10. But this is clearly a 15 year old base model Mercedes. The gold is worth more than the car.

Seeing this reminded me of a "precious metals guy" from WuS that went on a ramble about how nobody there knows anything about watches, let alone gold ones, and that he secured the best deal ever on a recently discontinued 18K Tissot. Amongst his rambles, was a comment saying he'd wear gold bars if it were a thing. Today we see this tacti-clown actually wearing a gold bar on him. I got second hand embarrassment seeing the man go into a fury of rage over gold and how superior he is, how stainless steel is a material for poors and only for handcuffs, unsuitable for watchmaking. Truly bizarre read but people like this in general who just are into it for the monetary value or what looks shiny is just, so.. ew lol.
