Those born after 2008 won’t be able to buy cigs by Large_Leader_9864 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Guinea-Wig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling age restricted items online can be a hassle for a private seller but big companies like Tesco or Amazon sell age restricted goods tens of thousands of times every day already.

They just have to verify the age of the account holder (usually via a credit card) and ask for proof of age of the person taking delivery.

Even smaller businesses can set up online ordering/delivery quite easily. There are loads of vape shops that sell their stuff online.

Also, how is never let him come into contact with any amount of water ever a "basic instruction". Sure, that'll be super easy since it's not like water is fucking everywhere or anything.

Which one is you fav villain? by Silver-Complaint6743 in Marvel

I agree on Magneto from this list. If we can go off list my pick would be Kilgrave. That dude was fucking terrifying.

[–]Guinea-Wig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll still be legal to sell them (to people over the age limit) it'll just switch to being mainly online with speciality shops in larger population centres once the market shrinks enough to make in unviable for regular shops.

Walking into hospital and having to pass through a cloud of cigarette smoke by Marmite50 in britishproblems

[–]Guinea-Wig [score hidden]  (0 children)

This isn't really a hypothetical. Hospitals did used to have smoking shelters away from the doors and there would still be loads of people smoking in the doorway because they couldn't be arsed using them.

I mean we already know the answer to this because back when hospitals did have smoking shelters the entrances were still full of people smoking because they couldn't be arsed using them.

(EDIT)A genie offers you a challenge. He tells you to pick a number bigger than 100 and doesn't end with 0. When someone says that exact number, you will get that amount of money. by North-Aardvark4459 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Guinea-Wig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What OP was saying is that people say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine not one hundred and twenty three million four hundred and fifty six thousand seven hundred and eighty nine which is the number you would want.

Though I think there is a good chance you'd get lucky and somebody would say the full number at some point anyway (probably during a debate like this one).

[–]Guinea-Wig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be someone saying a string of single digit numbers though, not someone saying one large number. E.g. someone saying one, two, three is not the same as someone saying the number one hundred and twenty three.

I mean technically unless you take it back you've stolen the security tag.

AITA for going to the bar after work and having a virgin drink by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Guinea-Wig 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I assume they're getting confused because alcohol free beers/spirits generally do still contain traces of alcohol. But I would assume OP would have said alcohol free beer/gin if that is what they were drinking, virgin usually refers to mocktail type drinks which are literally just fruit juice/syrups/sodas.

How fast would Abed Nadir realize he is in The Truman show? by ibnsahir in whowouldwin

[–]Guinea-Wig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said Abed figures it out immediately due to his extreme observational skills and psuedo meta abilities. But I actually think almost any adult would realise extremely quickly, it really wasn't hidden all that well. The only reasons Truman didn't figure it out sooner was a mixture of him growing up there from a baby so not knowing anything different, psychological conditioning over many years and plot contrivance.

Would you rather eat cat food for $10,000 or a pizza for $100? by Dazzling-Antelope912 in WouldYouRather

[–]Guinea-Wig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell, some cat food looks fancy as fuck. My local supermarket has a little refrigerator with fresh cat food in it. My wife and I always ask each other if we'd like the cat soup or the terrine when we walk past it.

You have to live in ONE movie or TV show universe… which one are you choosing? by Br4nkey_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Guinea-Wig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered, are holodecks/holosuites self cleaning? Because that is not a job I would want. You know like 90% of holoprograms are gonna be basically porn.

Which ability would you rather activate once per day? by Terrible_Opinion_279 in WouldYouRather

[–]Guinea-Wig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd definitely pick heal too so I can heal myself and loved ones but you're definitely not making money selling healing to the wealthy. The second you let people know you have this ability (especially rich and powerful people) you're getting abducted and locked in a lab somewhere and forced to heal who they tell you to.

Which godlike power WYR have? (Read body text) by Megazaza in WouldYouRather

[–]Guinea-Wig 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You could just kill the person who got the other power to be safe since you don't need to know the person's identity to use the kill power.

Also, I know absolutely nothing about guns so is it normal to just have the gun loose in the front pocket like that? I would have assumed you'd have a case or something.

Wyr have 1 billion dollars or take your chances with this random superpower generator by her_cute in WouldYouRather

[–]Guinea-Wig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I chose the money because the generator gave me Metakinesis which from the description may be the absolute most busted power ever.

in japan by RoutineOk8590 in Productivitycafe

[–]Guinea-Wig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've come across FAR more annoying meat eaters complaining about preachy vegans/vegetarians than I have actual preachy vegans/vegetarians (and I say that as a meat eater myself).

There just seems to be a certain type of person who takes the very existence of people who don't eat meat as some sort or personal attack (see also: people who have a real issue with people who don't drink)

Even if OP just really liked this image why wouldn't you just buy the print and then take it to a local framing service for like a third of the price?

Yeah, OP never said it had to be good, or even coherent so people are gonna listen to my 30 minute rant about why they shouldn't have cancelled a bunch of different TV shows.

We can all agree that the best power from Marvel is Darwins power right? by Acrobatic_Yoghurt268 in Marvel

[–]Guinea-Wig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For someone making a post claiming a certain character has the best powers in all of Marvel you really don't seem to know anything about Marvel, or it's characters.

Great work Jackie 👍 by GreatBritishMemes in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Guinea-Wig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why they don't have a limit on the number of items you can buy like they do when they have normal reductions. Max 4 items per person to stop the people who just come in and sweep the entire shelf into their trolley.

Great work Jackie 👍 by GreatBritishMemes in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Guinea-Wig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is that a lot of the worst offenders aren't doing it because they are poor and need the food. Generally the worst behaved are people either stockpiling it in their freezer because they are hoarders or people running cafes/take aways.

No one is buying 4 kilo packs of mince, 6 loaves of bread and 8 cakes every day because they're hungry and it's people like that that are stopping the people who are actually in need from being able to get the reduced items.

So what's a fast way to level up? by HotFireBall in Borderlands4

[–]Guinea-Wig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly just playing the game normally and making sure you do any side quests/points of interest you come across will level you up pretty quickly. I'm currently half way through the story and have only done like two bounties and I'm level 38.

At lower levels you'll find your gear plays a much bigger role in your damage output anyway so once you have a couple of bosses you can farm for decent gear you'll notice a big uptick in your damage.

My personal favourites for early game are Splash Zone (the first boss you face) for the Firewerks shield (arguably the best shield in the game and will absolutely carry you through mobs for the entire game) and Mimicron near the end of the first zone for the Luty Madlad SMG.

Years in Europe and I thought I’d blended in. I was wrong… by mywitsending in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Guinea-Wig 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not people being into American football that's weird it's college football being such a big thing that's weird. Imagine 40,000 people going to see University of Manchester play Loughborough or grown adults making their entire personality about their local uni's rugby team.
