back in my day, i thought these pens were the coolest thing in the whole universe.
The pinnacle of all human advancements
The funny thing is, as soon as you get one you realize that putting 10 pens into 1 pen just makes a pen that is 10x as shitty.
I saw them in a store recently and couldn’t resist buying it for that very reason. Is it actually useful or nice to write with? No. Do I regret buying it? Hell no.
I remember that pen, it was valuable in kindergarten!
Same. And all I got was the one with 4 colours.
I bought one of those recently to help with my journal, which is color coded in order to look Xtra gay UwU.
All in all it was a disappointment because the head kept sliding back into the hole, and I had to push the button down continuously. The pen felt way too needy, and I focused more on it than the act of Journaling.
It was still better than a pencil.
There exists an actually decent 3 colour version by Uni, which is slim enough. I think it is in the Jetstream series. 4 makes it thick. However, you need atmost 2 colours most of the times, blue and black.
I personally use Uni Jetstream for my occasional jot downs.
My first “I bought something because someone on Lemmy said they liked it” moment.
Those pens were amazing, cutting edge tech at the time
Well, okay boomer?
But yeah love the meme :D
Neglected childhood I see? I’m gen z and played with these things all the time.
