It’s just a prank, bro

ikiru,

A brick.

No, I won’t explain.

I know someone who brought a brick with himself on 1st year of high school.

By any chance, did you also bring a PC motherboard?

ikiru,

Nope.

@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Ok, thanks.
At least you know you weren’t the only one.

JK1348,

Please explain lol

ikiru,

All I will say is that I wasn’t doing anything related to construction/masonry, and it was not intended nor used for anything violent or illegal. And it wasn’t a lucky charm nor meant for self-defense either.

But I carried my brick daily. Sometimes I would carry it in my hand if it got too heavy on my back though.

JK1348,

Comrade brick

Unexpected for ourselves or for the rest of the classroom/teachers?

Not a lot I can think of but I do remember with horror when a classmate opened his backpack an this cockroach just came out of it running for its dear life

Whitebrow,

Large bottle of bleach.

Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!

MrBubbles96,

In MY bag? Nothing really comes to mind. In someone elses bag tho?

It’s been years and I still remember the guy that carried around a gym bag with wheels of cheese in em in my community college. Dunno if he was selling, but i was always kinda wanted one NGL

Spotted the Skyrim player?

MrBubbles96,

Man was clearly doing a quest for Sheogorath lol

SecretPancake, (edited )

A built Lego set, specifically the 40567 Forest Hideout.

It was not unexpected thing for me though, but for everyone else.

auf,

Cockroaches

dingus,

In a similar vein…I once had a shitton of termites in my backpack. Freaked me the fuck out. I think a colony got lost.

A bottle of mustard. I add it to my hot dog during lunch.

Doesn’t mustard need to be refrigerated?

user224,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I don’t think so. You may just need to use it quicker.

Nemo,

No, it’s mostly vinegar.

NorthWestWind,
@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world avatar

Idk. 14 yo me did not take very good care of it and it ended up getting everywhere inside my bag a week in

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

Oh no!!!

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I try to keep it predictable (for a lack of a better word), but probably a supermagnet, like the kind you might get from the insides of an old computer. Helps adjust (or destroy) anything hands cannot.

Lettuceeatlettuce,

Several times I’ve found cash I forgot I stuffed into my bag earlier. Always a pleasant surprise.

Do you ever clean your room and find old christmas or birthday cards you never took the money out of?

Lettuceeatlettuce,

Yeah happened a few times lol. Always fun!

al177,

A large green pushbutton with a Molly guard labeled “OK” I found in a scrap pile behind the physics building.

set of screwdriver, a bag of PC screws and a battery operated soldering iron with some solder

user224,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

That sounds pretty normal. Although it depends on what school it is.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It was for a year at medical school. :p

kuneho,
@kuneho@lemmy.world avatar

just your typical bog standard high-school

notasandwich1948,

I also used to carry around soldering equipment last year but it’s because the irons my school has just aren’t usable

user224, (edited )

I (still) don’t have any friends, so on 1st year of high school I tried to be as interesting as possible. I kept bringing some electronics, but most interesting was fluorescent light bulb and Tesla Coil. OK, OK, it’s not a Tesla Coil but a slayer exciter circuit, but it’s close enough.
Other stuff I can remember is: USB buck/boost converter (basically a low power variable power supply), USB alligator clips, USB tester, smart load tester (FX-35), battery charge tester, hand crank radio/flashlight combo, low power FM radio transmitter, bootleg NES game console with composite video output, blank DVD, universal TV remote, 5 phones at once and other stuff.
Although, you could say the most unexpected was the HP PSC 1315 printer. One teacher told me I can take it home, and it fit precisely into my backpack.

Nowdays, 2 years later, the best you could find is RTL-SDR and the extendable dipole antenna.

PrivateNoob,

Found the top post.
