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.

Those were so cool. Tough this year for school I needed to use a pen because of one teacher and every pen I tried was bad till I got a fountain pen.
I was in a meeting with one of my school’s principals and he whipped one of these out. I had my own pen to sign with but I kinda wanted to ask if I could use his lol
Even the more basic ones with only four colours were baller to elementary school me.
Yeah, I remember the first time we saw one in our 4th (?) grade class, our mouths hung open in awe. That guy was the hot shit for a while. It was like magic.
I remember my dad showing me the paint application on a Mac 2 a few years before, and he was super pumped about it, but I did not give two fucks; but this pen was like the pen of god. How could a pen even write with different colors?
Then, the guy that brought in the erasable pen a few years later. I mean… Jesus, the things mine eyes have seen.
Erasable pens are baller as well yo. I have a load of them.

My first “I bought something because someone on Lemmy said they liked it” moment.
Have you heard good word of the Sharpie Gel Pen? All other pens are in cower before the beauty they effortlessly create. I highly recommend (although to my knowledge they don’t have a multi-colored pen yet)

I tell you brother, I was once lost too. Seek the grail. Seek the Sharpie pen.
But, thanks for the JetStream and Pentel Energel recs, I’ll be sure to give them a try. But the sharpie pen has been downright life-changing.
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.
