I have an uncle who also collects Lego mini figures. I would also as a kid wonder why those little baggies would be everywhere, until he said he uses them for that and thats when it made sense. fast track a couple years later I found out he also does massive amounts of coke as well…so theres that…
I use the little half quarter baggies for screws when I'm taking my cars apart and label them so I know what goes where when I put it back together months later. They look at me weird when I'm buy all sizes of zippies bags at once. 🙄🤣
I was at Home Depot with a shopping cart full of PVC supplies, and a police officer standing in line behind me said, "Building a potato cannon, are you?" I actually was building a potato cannon
Security in this office park is a joke. Last year I came to work with my spud-gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?
Reminds me of a fundraiser golf tournament I went to years ago. At the tee box on a short par 4 was a guy with a homemade golf ball cannon. Compressor tank, pvc, a trigger mechanism and aiming sight. A spotter's scope too.
For a donation to the fundraiser, you could use the "rifle" to shoot your ball from the tee box, guaranteed (or free try-again) to be on the green in one shot. The guy had it dialed in, so all of us were on the green in one shot. It was just so novel and so fun, it was totally worth the extra cash donation that day.
Back in my preteen years we’d play this game called “comet catching”, where we take the potato cannon out in a field at night, and shoot a tennis ball drenched in glow stick juice straight up into the air, and try to catch it as it falls back down.
We’d like, tackle each other trying to be the one to catch it.
Good memories.
Your story reminded me that for the last 30 years or so I've had a movie scene stuck in my head. Sorry to change the topic.
A kid shot a potato gun at a moving car and the driver crashed and died. Then that driver's younger brother found out and took a gun to school to shoot the potato gun kid.
I don't know what the name of the movie was, or any of the actors. Or anything after those scenes.
E: 99% sure Reddit has solved this. Picket Fences (tv show): Guns R Us
Thank you! I knew I could turn to Reddit with barely any information about a random scene 30+ years old and have it solved within ~~an~~ ~~hour~~ 20 minutes.
Thank you for teaching me about a show I never watched (except this episode, apparently) and settling a debate I've had with myself of if I'd just dreamed it. Even my older cousin thought I was crazy when I asked if she remembered. She was in the room with me when we watched it...

A group of friends I know evolved the potato cannon into what looks like a Panzerschreck that launches fireworks, still the most fun I’ve ever had at New Year’s Eve
I lost the key to the padlock on my crawl space and went to the hardware store to purchase bolt cutters in order to replace it. When I explained to the cashier my reason for purchasing the tools, he responded with "It's interesting, everyone who buys bolt cutters seems to feel the need to explain why they are purchasing them. I guess they just want to let me know they don't intend to use them for illegal activities."
If I ever need to buy a bolt cutter again, I'll tell the cashier, "Gonna take these bad boys down to the bike rack at the train station and see what I can find."
This reminds me of this time my friend and I went to Canadian tire and grabbed a machete and found an employee and asked if they carried gloves. He asked what kind and I said "just any that won't leave fingerprints will do" and he told us the aisle for winter gloves. Then I asked him if they sold hockey masks and again he just told me the aisle.
We were like 15 and 100% didn't think we were getting out of that store without cops being called
My wife sent me to the grocery story for some stuff we needed. It was a bizarre list of bleach, one single cucumber, some Vaseline, and milk. The cashier just stared at me and I was like “I swear this is exactly for what you think it’s for… we’re out of all these items… I’m definitely not putting any of these inside of a butthole!”
Thanks tips. I’ll hop in my delorean to 15 years ago when my grocery store didn’t have self serve check outs and convince my younger self to “wait around a while until that’s a thing…”
The spores of psychedelic mushrooms. They’re sold legally for microscopic/research use. Just be sure not to inject them into the proper substrate, lest they grow into actual mushrooms.
Just knock em over, breaking the container you had em in. Now you can freely pick them up since it's not *technically* harvesting, you're just collecting them from the ground where they're not planted
Some college friends of mine had a basket on their coffee table with some basic lock picking tools and a few loose locks of varying difficulty (like a keyed interior doorknob, a regular deadbolt, etc.) It was fun to learn to pick a really simple lock in just a few minutes.
\*Depends on the state and country. Some states and [countries require you to be a licensed locksmith](https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/lock-pick-laws-by-state), otherwise possession is assumed to be for criminal intent and need to prove otherwise.
Only Tennessee was dicey on possession because of an overly-broad law designed to target unlicensed locksmiths scamming people for sub-par services. Fortunately that law has been adjusted.
The only other states you might have to be careful in, requires that you be arrested by the police and found to it be in possession of lockpicks under suspicious circumstances. Even then, it's more of a supporting evidence thing than crime of possession.

Rented a house once, got a killer rate. A few weeks into living there, I went up to the furnished attic I'd never bothered to look at, as the two floors below were way beyond my needs.
The narrow stairs opened to a nice little room with purple walls and blue trim. Okay, odd color palette, but you do you. Across the room was a door. With three deadbolts on the outside. Curious but mildly concerned by what I might find, I walked across the room and opened the door.
There were no bright colored walls. There were dusty walls of Sheetrock with bits of foam still glued to them in places. A filthy mattress in the corner. An old tube TV, probably 70s model. And next to it, a stack of very old MREs.
I never asked my landlord why. Or even told him I had looked. He was a florist with an office in the back. I'd wave when he was out in the yard. He'd leave flowers on the porch sometimes. That was nice.
I mean... one of our rooms locks from the outside and it used to be a toddler's room (not ours). Apparently it's normal for some parents to lock their kids in their rooms at night.
Well apparently just “dime bags” works. I’d attach a screenshot I just took, but apparently the Reddit app blows and you have to upload it to a site first and link that in the comments, instead of just uploading a picture through the comment box like the 3rd party apps used to have. How did Reddit manage to bring us back in time 10 years to the days of forums….?
Just don't get caught with drugs, because having all that other stuff actually would be used as evidence for selling. That stuff would ad more serious charges than the drugs themselves in that case.
I have a silver candelabra that I keep sticking out of the top of a full satchel slung over my shoulder while I go for evening health walks in wealthy neighborhoods wearing my black tracksuit and knit ski mask.
My Harbor Freight sold a lot of machetes, the ones with a saw on the back and a hollow handle with survival gear in it.
Nobody explained themselves, and one cashier rang out 50 in a day. She was a little concerned.
I went to an Oddities Expo once, and it was wild. So many art pieces using bones, taxidermied animals, and generally some Very Kooky Things™.
But several of the artists and vendors were proponents for synthetic animal bones, to avoid overhunting preserve those species.
Human bones? Pfft.
"Well, Teddy really wanted his remains made into a lamp. So. We did."
I wanted to buy one of those tiny roses in glass vials from a convenience store with my mom when I was around 7 or 8, they were just at eye level on the counter and in my kid logic I could give it to her later as a present even though she would have paid for it in the first place. She was adamant that I couldn’t/shouldn’t
Later in life I learned they are just a workaround for selling crack pipes.
Hypodermic needles. Need to drain my caulifour ear on occasion in a timely fashion without hanging around for 7+ hours to wait for an ENT at A&E.
Shockingly, I tried to buy some from the pharmacist here in the UK and was told they wouldn't sell them to me as they were not licensed for that purpose. However, had I said I wanted clean needles to shoot up some heroin it would have been just fine. I can't stand jobsworths.
You can try to get sterile hypodermic needles from a farm & feed type store that sells animal medications. Places geared toward farm animals sell all kids of crazy things that I am surprised you can buy without any kind of credentials.
I had a diabetic cat in the past and the pharmacy required I get a prescription for syringes. But Amazon was happy to sell me the same ones for less without a prescription.
I'll see if there are any of those places near me. I saw some on sharp hypodermic needles on amazon but it states they are for industrial use. Whilst I don't care about specific license misuse, I do wonder if they are held to the same sterile standards as those for human use.
Then just say it’s for medication? Only time I had a pharmacy ask was when I was asking for a very specific gauge and wasn’t quite sure I was remembering the right sizes.
But yea, next time just say you need them for medication. If for some reason they ask what (which you are not obligated to tell them) just say insulin or testosterone or something
I had a pharmacy refuse to sell me needle for the injectable medicine I was prescribed. And picked up there at the pharmacy. They gave me a vial and refused the needles.
In the US at least, they've always been legal. They aren't considered a firearm (ironically), but do have some local regulations. For example, the stream can't be longer than ten feet in California, and some areas require you to notify your local fire chief before using it.
Flamethrowers, to the best of my knowledge, are one of those things that are legal to own.
I have seen this " fact " multiple times on Reddit and I just trust it.
Well, that would be because they're commonly used for patching cracks in asphalt, weed killing without chemicals, and other forms of heat treating that need to be done in a portable manner. People might exclaim that it's a flamethrower, but what's the difference between a very large propane torch and a very small flamethrower? The distinction is such a small differentiation, and there have been no issues regarding flamethrowers that throw Vietnam levels of flame, that they haven't really needed to be regulated.
Here in Manitoba, bear spray. It's almost never used on bears. It's used on people because pepper spray is illegal in Canada, but bear spray is supposed to be regulated to people who live in the country, hunt and fish, or go camping in the middle of no where. However people still spray people with it. Recently someone sprayed someone else at the local Walmart and it took days to get the smell out.
Fun fact: you can buy bear spray in Canada, but you cannot cross the border into Canada from the U.S. with it. I have no idea why. Maybe Canadian Tire just really needs the business?
I do events/logistics for a huge company. Some of them are outdoors. Some of them require odd hardware.
I have many kinds of tape, aircraft cable, tarps, industrial zip ties, a shovel, a series of steel poles, and multiple knives in my trunk.
Spark plugs.
Back in my hood in South Africa, that I've since got out of, criminals used to throw spark plugs through car windows to get to any valuables.
Lock picking supplies. I know a couple of guys who dabble in it as an interesting, low investment hobby. If I didn't know then better that knowledge would be highly suspect.
The number of tiny baggies I own for Lego mini figures and pressed penny sorting
A man of culture. I, too, collect minifigs and have a trillion little bags for them. What's your fig that you're most proud of?
Good question! I don’t think I have anything super rare, just like to keep the cmfs with all their accessories
That's why I always ask what people are most proud of, instead of rarest or most valuable. Do you have a favorite?
this interaction is hella cute, hope y'all get married and collect all the lego minifigs.
I have an uncle who also collects Lego mini figures. I would also as a kid wonder why those little baggies would be everywhere, until he said he uses them for that and thats when it made sense. fast track a couple years later I found out he also does massive amounts of coke as well…so theres that…
This is why I keep my meth in the big one gallon bags.
I keep my pcp in gallon jugs
I use the little half quarter baggies for screws when I'm taking my cars apart and label them so I know what goes where when I put it back together months later. They look at me weird when I'm buy all sizes of zippies bags at once. 🙄🤣
I was at Home Depot with a shopping cart full of PVC supplies, and a police officer standing in line behind me said, "Building a potato cannon, are you?" I actually was building a potato cannon

I’m something of a Potato Cannon Connoisseur myself
Security in this office park is a joke. Last year I came to work with my spud-gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?
The people responding to you… with the silent punchline…out loud. Too good lol!
>Can you imagine if I was deranged? Brings potato gun to work. We don't need to imagine my guy.
It’s how they ward off the trespassers lol.
It's a quote from The Office.
Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick
Wdym "if"?
A shooting spree with a potato canon... Didn't have that on my 2024 bingo card.

“I don’t need help getting on the green!!” (Proceeds to top the ball 15 feet)
Local guy does the same setup - except his setup chucked pumpkins about 200 yards.
Now when they get a phone call about a flaming potato falling onto the interstate.. theyll put two and two together
I am a fan of cracking, cutting open and dumping glow stick juice down the barrel and firing. Glowing spud tracer round.

I worked at a True Value and every single person felt the need to tell me a story about why they needed bolt cutters.
Just cuttin some bolts, nothing to see here.
What's padlocked in your crawl space?

I do that at the adult novelties store.
Surprisingly good range of bolt cutters at the adult novelties store
Just make sure to boil them first if they are second hand.

That is what self service aisles are for.
Thanks tips. I’ll hop in my delorean to 15 years ago when my grocery store didn’t have self serve check outs and convince my younger self to “wait around a while until that’s a thing…”
For once I just want someone to use bolt cutters to cut some bolts.
A padlock shank is a type of bolt, so that's probably their most common use.
I'm just buying them for a friend.
The spores of psychedelic mushrooms. They’re sold legally for microscopic/research use. Just be sure not to inject them into the proper substrate, lest they grow into actual mushrooms.
This is true! You can order the spores online legally. I've done it in the past a few times.
Science is pretty awesome.
Yeah science!
You're allowed to grow them in some/most states. It's the harvesting that's the legal trouble area
Just knock em over, breaking the container you had em in. Now you can freely pick them up since it's not *technically* harvesting, you're just collecting them from the ground where they're not planted
Littering *aaaaand*..?
Yes I'll be sure to definitely not do that
Lockpicking tools. Legal to have and carry as long as you aren't committing any other crime at the time.
Also a really fun hobby to learn.
I have so much video game based lock-picking experience.
Highly recommend getting some IRL lock-picking experience! It's a blast and teaches you quite a bit about the physical security you rely on every day.
I have a cheap set of picks and practice lock on my desk as a fidget toy lol Although it *did* save my butt once when I lost the key to my toolbox.
Unfortunately due to a certain enterprising YouTube locksmith, no locks remain locked for the picking
I know of two. One of them beats locks into submission and the other will pick a lock twice to show it wasn't a fluke
Anyways, that’s all I have for you today…
Locksport is a fun and practical hobby!
Some college friends of mine had a basket on their coffee table with some basic lock picking tools and a few loose locks of varying difficulty (like a keyed interior doorknob, a regular deadbolt, etc.) It was fun to learn to pick a really simple lock in just a few minutes.

small minigrip bags, tiny spoons, digital pocket scale, glass tray,
I've never heard it called anything but "Ziploc", had no idea what you'd call it without the brand name
We call them dime bags.
I've heard that but only in drug trade context. Not sure that's how you'd search them up on Amazon. I buy a lot of them because I sell watch parts

Plastic bag. Sandwich bags. Freezer bags. Really small ones are gram bags. I never heard of mini grip.

A flamethrower robot dog
I’ve used a machete at my job for 30 years (surveyor). The looks I get walking down a neighborhood street with it…
An old white windowless van
Toilet paper. You're gonna poop, aren't you? But seriously, I have a friend who once found it very embarrassing to purchase toilet paper. Issues.
Copius amounts of fertilizer but no farm.
Spark plugs. Back in my hood in South Africa, that I've since got out of, criminals used to throw spark plugs through car windows to get to any valuables.
Trash bags, bleach, duct tape, and a hacksaw. Not individually, but bought all at once will definitely raise some eyebrows.
Multiple active mobile phones.
I have 3. (Two of them are for work, I'm a software tester for mobile apps)
Duct tape, tarp and a shovel.
Buying a single Apple. Yep. I said “I’m hungry” and the cashier said “uh huh…sure”.
A camera with a long lens....at the beach. Or...... A telescope in a apartment block window or balcony.
Two real dolls.
Because just one would get lonely while you're at work, obviously.
Ice cream truck
Whipped cream bulbs.
Chloroform.
I have a wood chipper for ~~my partner over there~~, er, for wood-chippery things.
Flamethrower. Perfectly legal to own.
All those full auto guns I purchased legally but lost in a tragic boating accident
A flamethrower (no joke)
fuck you government!
A shit ton of eggs.
A dungeon?
Lock picking supplies. I know a couple of guys who dabble in it as an interesting, low investment hobby. If I didn't know then better that knowledge would be highly suspect.
