Pulling up behind a Cybertruck and a DeLorean has truly been the double rainbow of my day.

When the "Swiss Army Knife" could fit in a pocket and still be useful was replaced by a "Gerber/Leatherman Multitool" that has to be carried in a case on a belt because its bigger than a smart phone.

if it's in my pocket, how can I show it off as an aspect of my identity

where tf are you getting your giant multitools or tiny smartphones? every multitool i've ever had was pocketable and smaller than every smartphone i've had

i never got one but i think the belt thing is more about weight because some people don't like the uneven torque (besides larping and the 2% of facilities workers where the convenience matters)

90% joke comment, comrade.

But I have seen some pretty bulky Swiss Army knives and awkwardly large multitools over the years.
