I don’t necessarily mean adult as in NSFW.
I’d probably bring in my RG280V. It was my first handheld emulator. I had emulated games on my phone in the past and even used a Bluetooth controller but playing on it felt different. More real in a way.
I grew up with the Game Boy so the idea of having thousands of games on the go is pretty neat to me.
I’ve since moved on to the RG405M.
What about you? Do you have anything neat or special to you that you could talk about for a couple minutes?
Would love to see photos as well

I used to paint back in college but I haven’t touched the brush ever since. I just don’t have the drive for it I guess.
Those are amazing!
I’d like to bring a tall ship sailor. Preferably from the 18th or 19th century. I bet they’d have some interesting work stories to tell.
Ooh, it IS neat! Thanks for sharing! I bet that feels nice to rub your fingers on.
That’s a nice rock.
I would bring a bunch of fossil rocks & Petoskey stones!
Or my enormous collection of rare (not gonna say the brand) plushies! I’m one of the handful of people who have a special “good community citizen” plush from them!
Or my dumb lizard who was born without scales. I like to educate folks on why they should never get one.
A lizard without scales! At least this particular lizard. It makes their natural instincts vs. their physical sensitivities a nightmare to balance.
I’d bring my Split ergonomic keyboards I’ve built/am working on.
I’d love to get others into the hobby or crowd source help in coding QMK from those who are already in it. Online forums are a great resource but for some there’s no replacing an in-person teacher.
I’ll hopefully come back and edit this post when I get home to share a picture.
my stuffed dog
I can think of three options:
My crossbow. I am not a hunter but I thought it would be super cool to learn how to use one. SO got it as an anniversary gift for me.
My horse hair embroidery sculpture things… I am not sure what to call them yet, but I like unusual art and these fit the bill.
My succulent collection . I have many different kinds and love propagating them.
Ps. I don’t know how to upload pics to lemmy. Everytime I try an error pops up.
Any propagation tips? I’ve tried a few times and they just go so slowly!
I mainly just pluck a petal off a healthy one and put it on top of moist dirt
I am gladly going to share my most guarded secret regarding succulents, obligatory “I-am-not-in-the-usa” disclaimer. I live in a place near the tropics but with very cold winters.no snow though.
Neglect is your friend. I forget to water mine all the time, if I find gnats or whatever on one just spray it lightly with rubbing alcohol or pinesol, etc.
Specifically for propagating: Cut your petals/leaves clean off of the mother plant. I use my hands but you can use a pair of very clean scissors, then put them in an empty terracota pod no moisture and leave them be until they can “heal” the “wound”, sort of like scarring (spelling?) Then when you start seeing tiny little roots THEN place them on moist soil and proceed to ignore so they start doing their thing. My soil mix is 70 or 80% mineral material and the rest regular dirt. Hope this helps
I can’t tell you how happy I am that some of the replies here are about electronic music machines.
I’ve found it very difficult to find anything like r/synthesizers and it’s fellow circlejerk in Lemmy. If I’ve missed the obvious, please let me know.
For my show and tell I would bring my little analogue synthesiser and my special echo foot pedal. They are very simple but have unusual attributes that are easily demonstrated.
I was about to answer that I don’t really have anything to bring, but the many pointy bits of metal I’ve stuck in keyways and the many hours I’ve spent watching defcon talks actually has me ready to give a whole presentation on security
I’m bringing my lockpicks and showing how easy it is for someone to rake a standard kwikset lock. Be aware of your security’s limitations. Even if you have the best lock on the world, you do not have plexiglass windows. If you don’t have a security system beyond a simple lock, and there are a lot of break-ins in your area, it’s time to invest in an electronic security system, and then put a sign out front advertising a different system.

…and then have some paper set aside to get everyone’s autograph from the show-and-tell.
Beer. Not to show, just to enjoy it.
So I’m trans. And what I would bring is the Christmas ortament I got from a friend after coming out that says “Name’s first Christmas”.
That’s super sweet and special, love it as a show-and-tell.
Hahaha aww, that’s cute and awesome!
The only acceptable use of a “gender reveal party!” 😉
That’s both hilarious and thoughtful. I love it and am totally stealing this idea.
You absolutely should! It’s funny because she was kinda nervous about the idea because she was worried that it might be insulting since I’m not like, a baby. But I laughed so hard when I opened the box, and it’s slayed everyone I’ve shown it too. 10/10, best gift ever.
Specially because that was otherwise a pretty bleak Christmas, had no blood family or girlfriend anymore. But my best friend from high school became my new family, so it all worked out I think!
This little bronze orc:
It was a gift from my father, who in turn received it from its sculptor, Sterling Lanier. Lanier was a family friend and an editor at Chilton Books, where he insisted that a book he had read in Analog Magazine be published despite it having been turned down by a score of other publishing companies. The book was initially such a commercial failure that Lanier was ousted from Chilton–a grievous injustice, as the book in question is Frank Herbert’s Dune.
