anon discovered an "infinite getting kicked out of places" glitch at ~~16~~ 24
"I don't believe you're 24 show me your ID."
"I bet you $100 I'm 24"
"That's not how bribes work either give me the $100 or show me your ID"
You think the cops are coming for underage liquor purchase? You are in for a long wait.
asking for the customer's id? nah, call the cops and let them figure it out
Anon is already rich in extra chromosomes.
$100 is not enough to have to interact with US cops.
End step is missing, get shot by cops
It is if he's black
This reply is the abstract art of comments.
One can positively interpret it as "highlighting the poverty forced on minorities by the system."
It can also be negatively interpeted as claiming "There is a white genocide and justice system is kind to black people."
Or third interpretation: @village didn't understand @Cyphers comment
Anyone who interprets it as the latter is doing so in bad faith.
It isn't sustainable. No clerk will take the bet more than once. Also, the clerk doesn't have to take the bet to interpret it as bribery and call the cops on you. In addition, there's the risk of the clerk simply not honoring the bet.
How would it be bribery? If you're not over 21 you give them money and have to leave?
It could be constructed as an attempt at bribery. You see, when you bribe somebody, you can't just go up to them, and tell them "Here's a hundred bucks, look the other way". Because, what if you're an undercover cop? You need to offer the money in a way that offers plausible deniability. So, the next step could be to show a poorly counterfeited id that says you're only 21, with the implied subtext being, "I'm giving you 100$, but in exchange you don't look too closely at my false id". Of course, there's always a risk that the person you're trying to bribe doesn't catch on.
Yeah but then if they pass your id and agree to the bribery they'll give you the 100$? It's the wrong way around to be bribery.
Bribery needs pass and pay, this is pass or pay. The incentive for the storekeeper is to not sell to you and get the money.
Yeah but then if they pass your id and agree to the bribery they’ll give you the 100$? It’s the wrong way around to be bribery.
The bet is that Anon is 24, but if the id says they're 21, then they're of drinking age, but still lose the bet, so the clerk gets the money. ID is passed, and money is paid.
I see. That does seem far fetched though, and really only holds any plausability once your ID doesn't match your own claim.
Yes, it's so far fetched that Anon expects the cops to be called.
How is it related to bribery?
See my reply to Krafty Kactus.
Are identity cards not used in the USA?
nah we all just know Identity Dave, or I D
They are, normally a driver’s license. This doesn’t seem to have much connection to reality. Most places have a policy that if you look under 30 they ask for your ID. Unless the ID looks fake that’s all they do.
They are but some clerks are extra suspicious. When I was 24 (coincidentally!) I thought I definitely looked 20-something, but I walked into a liquor store and tried to buy some vodka and the clerk took my real, legitimate ID, squinted at it, accused me of not being the person depicted on the ID, held it under the UV light that reveals the marks that are supposed to make it hard to counterfeit, squinted at it some more, took it in the back and started making a phone call...
I thought she was going to call the cops on me, but eventually she came back and sold me the booze.
My wife is a short, soft spoken woman in her 30s and people still refuse to sell her scratch offs because they think she's too young.
Ok, so which alley did you buy the ID in and what type of animal fur was the dealer wearing?
Mine says "McLovin"
Remember that infinite money "glitch" that was going around on social media a year or two back? This is as stupid as that.
There was something like that earlier this year too
Where people were gas lit into committing check fraud?
yup. some even went to prison i believe. it was often not even small amounts. i saw one dude who committed cheque fraud in the amount of $200K.
here's a tangentially related link https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzp7y8e7vo
As long as the clerk hasn't seen Guys and Dolls it should be fine.
One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.
Even at 16 I would have understood that I can't force that clerk to accept such a bet and that clerks will probably recognize me after a few times of doing that in the same place.
Hmm... I don't believe you are honest, because of this ID thing... BUT I am willing to bet honest money in good faith, including paying out for this... Yeah, rock star, good luck finding that mark outside of the mirror.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
