An infinitely-long charger cable that instantly maxes out the battery of whatever device you choose
An indestructible backpack that negates the weight of everything inside (i.e. you won’t feel a thing even if you’re hauling around concrete blocks)
A pair of shoes that allows you to walk on walls and roofs.
A pair of headphones that listens to the thoughts inside the mind of whichever person you choose.
A monocle that allows you to see 5 minutes into the future
A printer that instantly prints whatever image you have in your mind onto a piece of paper (artists beware)
A portable dictaphone that makes everyone believe whatever it says.
A pencil with infinite graphite and infinite eraser that can also function as a pen, marker, highlighter, sharpie, and colored pencil. It can also erase everything you write regardless of what tool you use.

No, you cannot commit theft and steal multiple items. No, you cannot ring your friend/family on the phone and tell them to get over here with their credit card. One choice, one item.
with the dictaphone i can finally do “mic up” to other people and when it happens I can just play my dictaphone and basically make them believe that their twitter tier opinions are invalid and wrong
man these monocles will make you extremely good at anything as u can perfectley predict everything, for example if someone is fighting you, you can predict every move
ever tried those super long charging cables? they break in a week, arguably because they are too long and struggle bringing enough power (which doesnt apply here) but also because if any part of the cable is somewhat damaged, for example, by being crushed, it becomes unusable.
Backpack
actually extremely useful, although the size might be a problem.
Shoes
sure, it’s cool, but it’s basically never useful, plus there’s no way to not get spotted using this and you definitely won’t be able to keep the shoes if the word ever gets out that they can allow you to do that. it’s even worse if people think the special thing there is you, you’ll just be experimented on.
…also, your body isn’t really made to walk like that so it depends how the shoes work, but if its just sticking to walls then good luck climbing when you’ve got gravity against you.
Headphones
you’ll probably suffer more from having this than not. ignorance is veeeery often better than knowing everything.
Monocle
i doubt anyone here really lives in a situation where your life is often at risk, most of the time you’ll just see yourself tripping on stuff and use that knowledge to avoid it.
sure, there are some uses, but it’s often limited to helping yourself and only yourself as you can’t tell others that you can predict the future. if they don’t believe you, you’ll look crazy, and if they do, you are definitely getting interrogated if you predicted anything major.
Printer
why would you… there’s so much better stuff to pick…
most of the time you’ll just print fucked up stuff, and that’s just hoping the printer doesn’t activate automatically without your consent.
it can save you time, but anything you can imagine means it could have been represented manually anyway. what are you gonna do with the paper sheets next, scan them back and sell them? there’s other stuff that could be a lot more beneficial to you.
Dictaphone
if you think i can deal with that much power, then you got the wrong guy
Pen
that’s just the printer but worse. all it does is help you save money, at best save time by not going to the store.
this is just paint.exe but you draw with a pen instead of a drawing tablet/mouse. at best it’s practical to always have on you, but when you have to choose between literal superpowers and a pen that doesnt need to be recharged, i think the choice is fairly obvious.
anyway, i guess i choose the bag since it’s not as risky and occasionally useful as the monocle, looks normal on the outside and doesn’t really have disadvantages unlike basically everything else except the lame stuff.
as far as i know, old dictaphones used tape, meaning you couldnt go back and erase any mistake.
you’ve got one take, and if you can’t recharge it because it’s magical and all, you better hope you make use of it.
now it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s an old one, since a dictaphone is literally just a device that can record and play back something and there’s obviously modern ones, but i assume it wasn’t something recent since y’know, old magical artifacts.
