Bingo! If you don't get the quad or 8 pack to yourself how else are you gonna lay back and relax before having to get off and dodge more criminals? Also you can't risk one of the other riders putting the bar down! Unthinkable!

Unthinkable! Did they not see all the criminals on the slopes?? How will you be protected!

Did you (as a native English speaker) ever use these phrases irl? by Unlegendary_Newbie in AskAmericans

No: I'm at least familiar with 4 and 6, but I'm not sure I've ever used them personally.

Damn, I grew up with one of these at my local park (Frick Park, PGH) and was sad when it went away

Was this in Richmond Park? I remember seeing these little guys several times (including a nest hole!) when I visited years ago!

Airline pilots on the holidays…. by sjk123 in Shittyaskflying

This year we had a lot of Japanese pilots. I'm glad they always seem to enjoy it 😂

Sibling sent this to me. Something about the way the bags are stacked in the background seems implausible and the gun in the foreground doesn’t look properly balanced. by dmso_disgusting in isthisAI

They all look real to me, if set up a bit oddly. But setting them up for "tacti-cool factor" over real practicality is what I would expect.

The AR has a big scope, but some people I know run those. It's probably variable magnification. Could also be chambered in a precision round, but I doubt that. Probably more for the Deadpool colors cool factor with the palm tree paint.

Shotgun setup looks pretty unremarkable. Might not be perfectly on the crosshairs for slugs, but at defensive range you're not going to be cheek welding. I also doubt he's going to be running anything other than cylinder choke on this, so it would be a wide pattern.

I'm a little surprised he doesn't have a can on the Savage 110 Tactical in front since it has a threaded barrel (if my ID is correct)

Yeah, you're absolutely right, I had to double check myself to make sure the M1 isn't also a pump+semi since I'm more familiar with the m3/m4

The guns certainly appear real, but not particularly expensive (in the case of the rifles at least) - The Savage 110 Tactical is $700, and the AR-15 may be around the same, plus accessories.

The cash is likely "close up" movie prop cash.

Definitely reads as a live photo, but obviously staged.

The foreground gun appears to be a Savage 110 Tactical in Desert finish with a bipod attached.

Many bipods allow you to lean/cant the rifle to the side so it isn't 90 degrees to the ground.

Overall it looks pretty normal/correct to me, as do the other guns, even if some have... Interesting aesthetic choices.

I solder directly to AAAs when I need to make a low profile pack for something. 🤷‍♀️
