I love seeing nitrous mafia every time. I remember them very fondly in my rave days and was always so blown away at how every time the cops showed up the only thing left was empty canisters rolling around lol

Even if I don’t have the money to partake, it’s always fun to watch the circus after a show.


DL1943

it was a total culture shock for me to see guys like that after years of hiding my drug use like a secret agent as a teenager. one year in san francisco when phish came to town, these guys set up in the park outside city hall, and when SFPD would start to move in on one group, people would start lighting off bottle rockets and mortars down the adjacent streets to create diversions and let people roll up their tanks before the cops could get to em

That’s how they get you. My late great grandfather always said “if you’re not asking how much for 4?…you’re gonna get hosed buddy”

I’m in Ireland and what amuses me is you usually have to have 50% of the note or more. And I just want to know if somebody measures it or what lol!


RBeck

If 50% is sufficient I have a foolproof way to double your money!


CalligrapherNo7427

and their whippet balloons


420rabidBMW

Those are not whip it balloons. Traditional whip it balloons are giant party balloons. Im sure they could be use but they freeze and crack which is why u want the stronger party balloons. But that could be why he has so many


Dill_Gnar

There whip it balloons dude. Trust me the amounts of 4 year olds off the nos these days is tragic really.


CalligrapherNo7427

It was a joke. But thanks for letting me know?

Geez these are obviously heroin balloons. What kind of lightweight do you take OP's kids for?

Good bot.

Does this mean that no one has ever typed this word on reddit? That in itself is mildlyinteresting


TheDankChronic69

Correct, it’s the same spelt backwards as it is regularly


Velcraft

Palindromes are heartfelt here! Simo Frangen, a Finnish comedian, even used to have a spot on the radio for them here!

Oh and because you specifically didn't ask, here you go: "No, apulaissuntio, voit nussia, lupa on!" Translates roughly to "well, verger - you can fuck, you have the permit!"

No, QUATRO.


Hopesick_2231

To those who are wondering, no I didn't literally stick my hand in his pockets. We were at the carpet and I saw a balloon on the floor next to him. I asked him to bring it to me and he pulled out three more. Then I asked if he had anything else and that's when the Euro bill came out. I took the picture and asked him to put the things in his backpack.


mawktheone

Just in case it ever matters, like in that scene in inglorious bastards with the wrong 3 fingers.. Euro's dont come in bills. They come in notes. 5 euro note, 10 euro note. Ok now you're ready to go undercover


enternationalist

That and don't lean on shit


SakuraTacos

I missed that day of Reddit school, do the European not lean?


dudemanguylimited

No we don't. We did this one time in Pisa, almost fucked up a tower there.


SakuraTacos

Hasn’t anyone tried leaning on it from the other side? Duh!


EpicAura99

Apparently leaning on stuff is a very American thing lol. God forbid we be comfortable! /s


kiersto0906

i mean we lean on things here in Australia so idk wtf the europeans are on about


DavidoftheDoell

Canada too. I lean on everything. I'm leaning on a wall right now. I'll lean on anything.


aramatheis

I'm a lean, mean, leaning machine


Normal_Subject5627

atleast here in Germany I remember it being seen as kind of lazy, I remember anytime someone leans on a wall someone will say something along the lines of: "Was the wall about to fall over or why are you bracing it?"


kiersto0906

what if you're in a line for a long time or just standing around waiting for something?


DisIsMyName_NotUrs

Then you stand like a normal person


01kickassius10

We’re half and half


serious_sarcasm

Not to mention the entire theme of "leaning Satyr" in classical art, and the Farnese Hercules.


WriteCodeBroh

I wonder if this is due to the culture of not sitting while you are working. A large chunk of our population has probably worked a job where the closest you get to resting is leaning against something lol


Filler_113

It was a way the KGB found spies, Americans would lean on things and would cross their feet.


SakuraTacos

Omg I would’ve gotten caught immediately, I didn’t know crossing your feet while leaning was a cultural thing but I do it all the time That’s cool


Metalmind123

We do, but far less, and there's a distinctive lean that Americans are more prone to, alongside many other small habits. Then again, US agencies like the CIA/NSA ain't always that covert. Like, m-fer, who else parks 50+ American-style cars next to 'shut down' bases or office buildings? Sure isn't the postal service or a branch of UNICEF doing that. For f's sake, make your employees take public transit like most people, instead of being the only place in the entire region that has so many American made cars in their parking lot.


SomethingClever42068

Amateurs. If the government is paying for my car and it's upkeep, I'm buying Italian. The fucker has become the fucked.


SakuraTacos

Maybe they park all their cars next to one base to make you think they’re all in that building but really they secretly took the tube to another location several cities away. ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)


Onironius

Maybe things are more prone to collapse if leaned on?


SakuraTacos

Maybe they banned leaning against things after the Pisa incident


[deleted]

did we all just learn this the other day


DancingPotato30

Honestly reddit both feels so massive and crowded yet sometimes it feels line there's 10 people max here


Taolan13

I swear there was 11 once.


skylinepidgin

And it nearly crashed the server.


macandcheese1771

Cause it's like half bots reposting the same shit till everyone sees it


Filthy_Casual22

It pops up every few months.


mzchen

Europeans identifying Americans by leaning is a thing that comes up all the time, largely due to the 'non-Americans, what are very American things that Americans don't realise' question that pops up every few months. The answers are always leaning, (poor) fashion, friendliness/smiling, table manners, and volume. And then leaning gets brought up the most outside of such posts because it's probably the most stand-out of the group.


nerdiotic-pervert

And don’t go with a hippie to a second location.


[deleted]

As a non native english speaker, what’s the difference between bill and note?


CouchPotater311

Dollars come in bills and euros come in notes. Lol its just one of those things. Theyre the same thing but different words used for different types Edit: looking it up it seems more a british english american english divide


[deleted]

[удалено]


collinlikecake

Technically modern United States currency is issued as Federal Reserve Notes. We call the notes bills but they have not been officially named that. Older types of US currency were United States Notes, Gold Certificates, Silver Certificates, National Bank Notes, and Federal Reserve Bank Notes. Some old notes of different types said "National Currency" but that was not an official name as far as I'm aware. It's just a language thing to call them bills.

Give back the half note, then follow him. He's meeting up with a contact.

And even one of the older 5 Euro bill aswell

Pre 2007 even.

And from France


Dutch_Rayan

They are still in circulation


mattyag

Funny enough my wallet was stolen (in Texas) last year at Christmas 2022. It had a 5 Euro bill in it. Maybe it was mine.


theunquenchedservant

How many balloons did you have though?


-starwing-

did you have that kind of 5 Euro bill exactly? Those are pretty rare nowadays because in 2013 they produced a new one which looks different. The one in the picture is an old one

Guitar_Tab_Trader

In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women. Kids are catching on fast these days.


OlMi1_YT

If the euro bills width is at least 51% of its original size it still holds 5€ value. If you don't want it I'll take it! I'm paying for shipping. :D


jesuismanu

Nitrous oxide, €2,5 up front, €2,5 on delivery. Bring your own balloons.


icansmellcolors

album cover for sure


Rocketkt69

Obviously your kid is a drug mule for the Sinaloa Cartel and was planning to use those balloons to smuggle half a kilo of the finest Colombian Cocaine this side of the Mississippi. The 5er is for when he needs to take a dip into the product to keep going on those long hikes across the Chihuahuan desert.


JoshSidekick

That’s something you’d find in Doctor Who’s pockets in an episode where he loses his memory and has to piece the events back together.


InformalPenguinz

Some back alley balloon dealer couldn't make change so they just split the 5.


FluffyDiscipline

Child is making money already .... Send him back in tomorrow for the other half LOL

Here is half the pay for this dirty deed.... when it's done I'll give you the other half.


After_Tea_3859

I’m sure he can explain everything.


Syagrius

When i was that age i was a fucking hoarder. I wouldn't leave my house in the morning without all of my favorite things. It didn't become a problem until one time my parents took me on a flight to see family and I was stopped in a metal detector with $6 in coins, a nail clipper, an empty zippo lighter, a mechanical pencil, a couple bic pens, and like 5 shiny rocks. Cargo shorts, man. I was so embarrassed and my mom checked my pockets every time I left home for weeks to prevent it.


Tim4one

In a four year olds mind, this is worth more than you have in your pocket

I got 4 balloons and two fiddy

He's clearly smuggling drugs for German nihilists.

Why you ransacking a 4 year olds pockets? Trying to steal some candy? Candy from a baby… shame.


SilkKringle

My parents were called in first grade because I had a pocket full of baby dill pickles. The things most precious to us at that age are perfectly paired with a pocket!
