There’s a whole ass Comedy Bang! Bang! (tv) episode about exactly these items being forgotten.
You’ll have to give me a few minutes to dig up what episode it was. I looked on Wikipedia earlier, but all the descriptions are too short.
I just remember the wallet phone and keys getting scared by “security dog” Rocky (Scott’s dog) and wandering into a closet full of old outdated software and phones.
EDIT: Season 4, Episode 29: A$AP Rocky Wears a Black Button Up Jacket and Black Sneakers
What do I need a wallet for? I can use my phone to pay everywhere nowadays.
Just need a magnetic card holder on the back of my phone, for my driver license and registration. Even the car opens and starts with a card. And my home has a smart lock, which I can open from my phone. So keys are not needed either.
Yeah, I thought this meant like UK was the keys to the allies getting a real foothold in Europe, America was the one providing the funding and Russia…
…is a cell phone?
I think I overthought this meme.
Martin Cooper, but I think maybe UnderpantsWeevil was making a joke.
Edit: Nope, they were serious but it’s not exactly what we’d think of as a cell phone as far as I can tell.
Cell phones were invented in America, weren’t they?
Leonid Kupriyanovich, a Moscow engineer, developed a series of experimental pocket-sized radios in the 1950s and 1960s:
- In 1957, Kupriyanovich patented a wireless phone device that weighed about 3 kg.
- In 1961, he presented a portable phone that weighed 70 grams and could fit in the palm of your hand.
- Kupriyanovich’s radiotelephones shared a common base station, which we now call a cell tower.
- Kupriyanovich’s “Altay” radio-based cell network was used by emergency services and remained popular after the fall of the Soviet Union.
However, the Soviet bureaucracy prioritized using early cell phone research to develop car phones for the Soviet upper ranks instead of mass producing cell phones for the general public.
Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch.
