The niche bullshit will continue until… Well, actually it’ll continue indefinitely.

I just got done solving my years-long festering irritation with my spread of Pilot Parallel fountain pens, which come with a caps that ain’t got pocket clips. Among other flaws. They bloody well have clips on 'em now.
OMG I was complaining to myself today about the same problem! I am genuinely grumpy that the pen cap has a bump that basically resembles a pocket clip but isn’t functional. It’s like having pants with decorative pockets!! Now I just need to get a version that doesn’t require me to constantly screw and unscrew the cap for use and I will have less complaints. Thanks for being part of the very niche solution internet stranger!
I’m pleasantly surprised this isn’t the community for fountain pens like I expected.
Is there a community for fountain pens or pens in general?
There’s a handful of them. They’re all still pretty small, but !fountainpens@lemmy.world was active recently.
Op should cross post there
Why not. Done.
Based on the number of comments on this thread there are way more of us than I thought.
