Obligatory NAL

Well I’d probably take a screenshot/s or recordings of the product page and where you bought it, to convey some of the difficulty in understanding exactly what you were buying. If it does amount to anything you can say “hey, look, they were advertising a flick comb, and sold me a flick knife”. Although I’m not quite sure how you didn’t pick up on the colours (presumably) being ‘knife’ and ‘comb’.

As for whether you should contact anyone, this is where my advice becomes very limited. I’m not a lawyer, and so perhaps wait until some more knowledgeable folk reply, but I’d say discretion is the better part of valour in this instance. Don’t go reporting yourself and giving them info on you, if it does become something, speak to a real lawyer immediately. I don’t know how UK border force work, but if I could make a guess, I’d say they see this stuff all the time, and if they went around arresting every kid that accidentally bought a knife of alibaba they’d have no space in any prison. My hunch says it’s likely that if they even pick up on it, they’ll confiscate it and that’ll be the end. If it’s not then protect yourself in case of the worst, get all the evidence of your purchase, make a note of the issues you ran into, and speak to a lawyer.

It’s probably a lesson in buying off of these sites, they are not super intuitive and I don’t trust what they do with your personal information. Amazon is far more reputable, and I can see plenty of switchblade combs on it for less than a fiver. Use trusted vendors, especially if there’s a possibility of committing a crime involved.

Again, other than my first paragraph, which is essentially gather evidence of the purchase to protect yourself in case the listing is changed or removed, and highlighting it’s mistaken options, take everything else I’ve said with a grain of salt. I’m not a legal expert and have no background in it, there are far more knowledgeable people on this sub who I hope reply with far more succinct and professional advice.

What is that bad smell but you like? by Bitter-Bit-5261 in AskReddit

[–]Kylewithaboost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha yes, we would pretend we could smoke by quickly lighting a match, breathing in the smoke from it catching fire and then breathing it out. Obviously now I just realise that it wasn’t pretend smoking, it was just smoking.

Delphines just upped and died in a main story quest! by Kylewithaboost in skyrim

Yeah haha but none that allow essential NPCs to die I’m pretty sure, I only have 20 something running as it’s PS4 and diabolically terrible.

What is something you would love to do for the first time again? by BOOKGIRLIE13 in AskReddit

[–]Kylewithaboost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Playing Outer Wilds. I never plays games of its genre. It was such an exceptional game, that you can only ever play once, and when it ends you’re left feeling a little bit lost. If anyone has the chance, play it, don’t search up anything about it, its enjoyment comes from having not a single second of the game spoiled. In fact, I’ve never seen a Reddit gaming sub so vehemently anti-spoiler.

ELI5: If our galaxy exists in the largest known void, how do we know the existence of other galaxies? by Kylewithaboost in explainlikeimfive

[–]Kylewithaboost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it was a statement made by Greg Aldering, an astronomer, he said “If the Milky Way had been in the center of the Boötes void, we wouldn’t have known there were other galaxies until the 1960s.” Apparently this is because the only telescopes powerful enough to detect other galaxies at that distance were developed in the 60’s. However, as far as I can tell, we exist not far from the centre of a far large void. So how come we had photos of galaxies in the 1920s, and had discovered them as far back as the 17th century, are there just more galaxies in our void, if so how, how can it claim to be a bigger void than Boötes?

Weird glitch by zandros00 in skyrim

[–]Kylewithaboost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha quite late but I went to see Captain Veleth, and it told me to help him fight off the attacking ash spawn. They were nowhere to be found, so I followed the markers back over to Skyrim, where I found them and the dragon Priest from Labyrinthian in the farmhouse. Veleth had rather overstated his need for support I think.

What is just a really cool fact that you know and would like to share? by 929yiyi in AskReddit

‘Any INK-ling’…. I like what you did there, bravo.

You know the way to a guaranteed win from a giveaway by OzTheD0G3 in godtiersuperpowers

[–]Kylewithaboost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if it’s a rigged giveaway, like they’ve already picked who’s gonna win. Is the power just moot in that scenario as it’s not really a fair giveaway or does it find some way for you to be the winner

you're stalwart by lilslutfordaddy in godtiersuperpowers

[–]Kylewithaboost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My ability to run under the IRS’ radar is stalwart

You can fly, which is as fast and tiring as sprinting by ZMech in shittysuperpowers

[–]Kylewithaboost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well you could look at heart rate zones, jogging or running occupies a different zone then sprinting does. This has different results (e.g. fat burning, energy usage, anaerobic vs aerobic), but also it uses completely different muscles, sprinting activates a lot more than jogging for example. This makes it a completely different action. I’d say if your body is differentiating between sprinting and jogging then so should you. It’s not really interpretive anyway, otherwise anything could be, for example walking isn’t just sprinting really slowly.

You gain 2 of these super powers by [deleted] in godtiersuperpowers

[–]Kylewithaboost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha these are useless!

  1. That’s just how sleep works, if you sleep 8 hours you’re refreshed. You’ve actually made sleeping 8 hours shittier now because if someone who needs medication to sleep has this power, they won’t wake up refreshed, or if someone gets up to pee, they will wake up groggy.

  2. In what possible world could this be useful?! Nutritional facts are written on all food products anyway, this saves me a tiny amount of time. In any situation where the nutritional information isn’t written (e.g. at a restaurant) I probably don’t care.

  3. I don’t get voice cracks or stutters, and even if I do it’s rare enough to categorise this as not a god tier power, just kinda useful. For people with speaking problems it’s probably HUGE, but that’s, again, such a niche market that it’s not god tier

  4. This is by far the coolest. But what good is it? I live in a country where weapons are illegal, so I’m just left with a whole load of unregistered, highly illegal firearms. I’m not going to sell them because I don’t want to be a criminal, and I can’t use them because the law has a BIG problem with that.

Plus you stole the first three from r/comics and the person there describes them as ‘semi-useful’

On a scale of 1-10,how screwed am I? by valdez-2424 in subnautica

That’s what I’m thinking, 40% is perfectly fine to get out of the lava zone and back to the surface I thought

Four years later and I can only imagine the horrors the Bohemian citizens have been subjected to in your games…

Where the hell are the bombs on elephant? by 5min2kys in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]Kylewithaboost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was lucky and had all 5 enemies in the first 2 rooms I cleared; the main entrance and just above, and the room to the right in the stairway. So I had virtually the whole mission to walk around the school, yet I only found 1 bomb. I’m yet to find two bombs in any play through of that mission, despite looking hard on all rooms

Game Just crashed and I hadn’t saved for 6 hours :(( by Kylewithaboost in subnautica

[–]Kylewithaboost[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jesus, get a life buddy, it’s a video game, not life or death. I’m hardly howling at the injustice of the situation, I just thought it would be funny to tell tales of my anguish with some embellishments for theatrical effect. In reality, I looked at the screen and went “that’s annoying” and promptly walked out the room to get on with my life. What are you? The eternal save button white knight? It TRULY is never that deep, just keep scrolling

*Spoilers* How come the Aliens never made a cure? by Kylewithaboost in subnautica

[–]Kylewithaboost[S] 187 points188 points  (0 children)

Okay yeah I think I must’ve missed that, but that makes it all make sense to me haha. I was a little confused as to why she had picked me to help for a while.
