intersting screwdrivers you use over there

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

"screwdrivers" is at the end of a list of example of tools.

Just like the hockey stick was part of the examples of sports equipment and not specifically named.

The way the picture was cropped makes it misleading.

They don't have screwdrivers, up there they call them Robby's. They made a bit that is better than a flat or a Phillips and they refuse to ever use anything else.

Because Robby is the best. My red and green Robby’s are my two most used by far.

Hey when everything looks like a nail

Is the last one maple syrup?

Come to think of it, I wonder why Crown Royal hasn't released a maple syrup whiskey yet.

Huh. I'll be damned. Reviews of it say it's pretty mid with it being a little too sweet. Guess I'll stick to vanilla CR highballs.

I'm an original or bust kind of guy. I've don't like any flavoured whiskey.

I've had their XR and their OXR, the latter of which was really rare.

Fact: Every Canadian has a hockey stick on them at all times.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 4 points 15 hours ago

Can confirm.

No, the dead give away is the crown royal

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

That's an example that makes sense there. You're also not allowed cricket bats, baseball bats, fencing swords, golf clubs, tennis racquets, etc.

Probably the singlemost important one that for some reason commonly gets forgotten about... lacrosse sticks. They were literally weapons historically.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago

What about ping-pong paddles, lawn darts, ski poles, pool cues or bowling balls?

What a wild crop. If you have to go so far to avoid attributing something to another person, just remake the whole thing.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

I mean the username is in the image. Unless you're talking about the poster of dangerous items in which case they didn't bother to attribute it because it's the prohibited items poster when you go through security in a Canadian airport.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

For the reason, I was just speculating. But for the action, it's instantly obvious to everyone. When ALCOHOL gets cropped to )L, it's abundantly clear the image has been heavily edited.

[–] groet@feddit.org 1 points 14 hours ago

Oooor someone took a picture of the physical sign in the real world and focused on the images in the middle without including all of the text. Because other wise the images would be to small to see.

I have no reason to believe anything was croped to deliberately remove anything.
