This got a laugh out of my grandma and she wanted me to let you know she says:

“This me-me is very funny, thank you for sharing it on the internet.”

Tell her some stranger from Canada says "Bless her heart"

Also tell her that we've been trying to reach her about her vehicle's extended warranty.

Thankfully you're not from the south, or it would mean something much meaner.

I thought it was going to be piss. Disappointed.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Ahhh yes. The two sides of Lemmy.

  • ACAB and it's funny if they drink piss.

  • I'm horny as fuck. Let's drink piss.

And I love that I don't know which you mean.

Bud Light is not immune from the price hikes either, unfortunately!

That’s Jesus third transformation.

In which country other then USA is it common to hide the he bottle in a paper bag? Never saw this in real life.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I assume this is the US? FPD is something Police Department, and when the images are flipped properly, the driver is on the left side. Also only in the US are cats allowed to drive.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're also allowed to drive in Lesotho.

They can only drive boats there.

[–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

In most countries it's perfectly legal to drink in public, if you're not driving of course, so it's a non-issue. In the US it's illegal most(?) places/cities, but if you put your drink in a paper bag the cops aren't legally allowed to check what's in it without a pat down/frisk warrant. That's my understanding of it at least.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

That would be none.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its a leftover from legal loopholes that don't really exist most places anymore.

Open container laws allows DUIs for having an open alcohol container in the car, but if the label was hidden by the big paper bag police didn't have PC.

Now lots of states have an agreement to submit to breathalyzer tests as a condition of having a driver's license, so if they see the paper bag they'll ask you to blow in the tube or revoke your license on the spot.

My understanding of it is that the agreement to submit to a breathalyzer is essentually a contractual agreement with the state as part of the agreement to issue the license. It makes it a civil/administrative issue, meaning you don't have to be convicted of or even charged with a crime for them to revoke your license over refusing to blow.

It's not about drinking and driving, it feels to me like drinking from a paper bag behind the wheel IS probable cause because it's so culturally expected for the contents to be alcohol.

From my memory, inner city folks tend to hang out on their front steps or on a street corner, somewhere "public", partly because until recently air conditioning was pretty expensive and we're talking about low income groups. It's also just a good spot to hang out imo. Anyway, because the cops were mostly white, it's was pretty easy to roll through on a hot summer evening and nab anyone outside with an open container. People got pissed, rightly so, and somehow the agreement was reached that concealing the beverage in a paper bag gave plausible deniability, and allowed them to drink on the stoop.

I arrived at Miami airport and I bought a beer can in a store, I opened it, as I went out of the store they stopped me "hey wait you can't drink it outside", and put it in the paper bag

Not sure if they trolled me or if if drinking alcohol from a paper bag was actually required by the law

why did an 8 years old cat meme have to be edited into the meme?

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 38 points 1 month ago

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

The same reason someone made this 80 year old joke into a meme, cause fuck it.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Also it’s an entire different car. I’m sick of the plot holes in these memes.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Someone should make the cop into phone dog.

Y'all need Traffic Stop Jesus: turning wine into water.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Great, ruin the one fun thing about Jesus. Though I guess that's not totally fair, he did always love to hang, right to the very end.

He didn't hang, he was cruci ... oh I see what you're saying.
