And for the actually curious; it was originally to hold pocket watches

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I always thought it was for lighters

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I thought it was for change

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I thought it was for drugs

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Turns out, it's for whatever you put in there

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is the answer... But don't tell the prudes, please.

I was a pocket watch user in the time before we all carried phones all the time and I cursed all pants without a fob pocket in those days.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

its actually for your lil baggie of cocaine.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I was always taught it was called a ‘fob pocket’, as in a pocket for your fob watch (the old name for a pocket watch) but I only knew that because my grandfather collected fob watches. I was also taught that the little pocket near the hip of the inside of a coat is called a fob pocket for the same reason.

I'm not really sure about it's actual name since i'm not a native speaker; i basically shoehorned the translation

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

it makes for a great card holder for metros or any situation where you need to have a card in a quickly accessable place

"A what watch?"

Steve Jobs said it was for the iPod shuffle

Come on, dude, there is no female wage gap. It's just that men choose high-salary jobs, like doctor or lawyer, and women choose low-salary jobs, like female doctor or female lawyer.

Does ants on a log count? Asking for a friend.

In the worst case they don't get anything at all 😬

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Feels like nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing at all

Stupid sexy Flanders!

Post title is incorrect. Women's clothes don't have pockets.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Its a watch pocket actually. For a pocket watch. That practically nobody uses anymore. I use it for small easily lost project parts.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Great, another thing to feel inadequate about.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No one has made mention of the 83.7%. I think it should be 17% odd smaller.

Sorry I know it's like that glass eyed guy from last action hero.

I’ve always used it for my car’s keyfob, which is the only key or fob I have.

Always thought it was for condoms.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Need to keep condoms cool. Body heat, over a long time, will increase chances of failure. The condom in the wallet is a "baby maker".

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Why does heat make condoms break?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Why? Beats me.

https://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/what-to-broken-condom

Using poorly stored condoms. Heat, direct sunlight, and friction are some of the biggest threats to a condom’s durability. You should avoid using condoms stored in your wallet or glove compartment for long. The friction and heat in these areas might contribute to breakage. Condoms are meant to be stored in cool dark areas, away from direct sunlight.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

the condom company has a deal with the baby products company

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've known them as "Jonny pockets" but yeah not a good place to actually keep one
