A day early for memes sorry lol

This loadout is clearly a satirical take on the stereotypical "EDC Starter Pack" often seen online, particularly within the r/EDC subreddit. It leans heavily into tropes of over-preparedness and a desire to appear tactical, while also poking fun at the common justifications for carrying certain items. The aesthetic is deliberately exaggerated and somewhat ironic, playing on the image of someone trying very hard to have a comprehensive EDC. The inclusion of text overlays reinforces the joke.

Pros

The items, if taken seriously, represent a range of potentially useful tools. A handgun (while controversial) can be for self-defense, the knives offer cutting utility, the pen is for writing, the batteries are for powering devices, the watch provides timekeeping, and the phone offers communication and information access. The quality of the items could be high, depending on the specific models (though the image doesn't allow for detailed assessment).

Suggestions

The loadout is inherently excessive for most everyday situations. The redundancy of carrying multiple knives is apparent. A more practical EDC would prioritize items based on individual needs and likely exclude a firearm unless specifically required for professional or personal safety reasons. The "EDC of a student" label suggests a lack of focus on actual student needs (like a laptop or notebook). The loadout lacks basic first aid, a small flashlight, and a dedicated wallet.
