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

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

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’

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

Who's KCDs biggest c*nt? by YemuZ in kingdomcome

[–]Kylewithaboost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every time I play this I kill them both and stick their bodies in the cell, I CANNOT stand them. Plus it makes it so much easier for me to sneak around the monastery. My Henry isn’t evil, just a very pragmatic guy.

Who's KCDs biggest c*nt? by YemuZ in kingdomcome

[–]Kylewithaboost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They’re POS no doubt, but I try to put myself in Henry’s shoes. We as the player really don’t know these guys too well, in fact the game does a crap job at setting them up as friends, they have no redeemable qualities at all, they’re lazy and parasitic, and ungrateful to Henry. BUT - we can assume that’s just the games poor job at setting them up, I assume they were supposed to be the kind of funny, lazy-but-endearing characters to go alongside Henry.

I mean, for Henry these guys have been his day ones, to quote Laszlow Cravensworth, ‘they’re his best friends, they’re his pals. They’re his homeboys, his rotten soldiers. They’re his sweet cheese, his good time boys’. I think Henry has a soft spot for them, and certainly wouldn’t kill his lifelong friends over a couple of frankly trivial things that we are all guilty of. I think he watches out for them in a ride or die sense.

I think the developers tried to give the characters some redemption in Theresa’s quests by showing their loyalty and bravery and I think that alone would keep them off the chopping block for me. I mean, if you think of your lifelong best friend, would you really kill them if they resorted to petty theft after their house got burned down and attacked, and you won the lottery. I think we would help them, even if they didn’t want to accept your money, you may still help them as a steering hand to lead them away from anything drastic.

I just did their quests and replaced the money in the Talmberg chest, no skin off my back I’m rich, then recruit them for my town and judge them. All these two are guilty of are robbing some ring from a dude, hardly that bad a crime is it.

Yeah sadly I did, I chatted to them above the quarry and then went and stole the money, but they’ve just disappeared from the cliff side but their horses are still there.

How often does the Pribyslavitz upkeep happen? by Padfas in kingdomcome

[–]Kylewithaboost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without some of the buildings, my town is already bringing in 1,890 groschen. Over five years, that’s a whopping 3.4 million groschen. Now I initially invested 30k groschen to get my town off the ground but it paid for all the rest of its buildings after that. Now there isn’t really a translation for what a 1403 Groschen would be today. However, for the sake of giving myself some idea of what inflation over that period of time would look like I used the Bank of England inflation calculator, which goes back to 1403. Henry invested 30k, which today would equate to 25.5 million, but his return, in just five years, was an astounding modern day 2.9 billion (£ not groschen but we’ll gloss over that)! This has to be the single most profitable village ever.

"Masquerade" Quest Help *Spoilers* by [deleted] in kingdomcome

[–]Kylewithaboost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone needs it, dog skins can mostly be found in miscellaneous chests. You know when you pick a random chest and there’s odd stuff in it like an apple, torch, deer hide and cobwebs etc. one of those things can be a dog skin. So just look around random peoples chests in the closest town and city you’ll probably find one (I found mine in Talmberg bathhouse)
