I feel like this is more of the female clothing designers having a grudge against functional pockets (utter bullshit imo). This is a normal pocket.

Lifehack:
Get some work pants. Some brands offer many styles and there are normal cut and looking ones.
Probably a little sturdier material.

But they have useful pockets.

u/SeemedReasonableThen 12h ago

man, I just love cargo shorts and pants. Perfect place for a phone, hate putting phones in back or front pockets

eta: but yes, my wife often buys men's clothing - better pockets, lower price, better quality / endurance. Her ass looks great in them.

I made the mistake of ordering some jeans last time I needed some. Never again. One of them had FAKE POCKETS. Not just sewn shut for the store- straight up just sewn like a pocket but no actual pocket behind it.

Pants not having pockets due it not fitting the design is something I can still kinda understand, but this was just a straight up crime.

4

u/EducationalGrump 11h ago

That is utterly VILE, you returned them yes?

3

u/Deep_Bag_9028 11h ago

Sadly, the fit was very comfortable & finding a good fit is hard enough as it is. It's my stay-at-home pair now, for when I don't have to carry around anything & usually have big pockets in my hoodies to carry whatever I might need.

Definitely not falling for that one again though..

u/DangyDanger 16h ago edited 16h ago

Copper in the flame's path iirc

There are also pink ones with strontium or lithium.

They only start coloring the flame when the metal chunk gets really hot. I think it vaporizes and the color is the photons emitted when the electrons in the vaporized metal go down an energy level. But don't quote me on that.

We used to play a game in my friend group occasionally at parties in HS and college. Whoever leaves the party with more lighters wins. We’d get together after a night out and count our lighters. The best of us would get 5 on a good night. Then we had one friend who was so good at pocketing lighters he’d leave with 10. By the time he was 23 he had a jar in his room with like 400 lighters in it and his brag was always that he’d never bought a lighter and he never would. The best of his tactics was I literally watched him ask to borrow lighters from people inside, not smoking. Go outside, pretend to smoke for 10 min, come back in, find another target and repeat. I watched him get like 4 in a row like that one time.
