I’m turning 18 tomorrow and I feel like time has flown by so fast. My parents are throwing me a huge party, my dad’s idea, of course, and it’s nonnegotiable because he wants his business partners and rich friends to show up with gifts. If you’ve seen my previous posts, you already know my dad has a bit of a greedy streak, lol.
Why is 18 still a thing? You can’t even buy cigarettes at 18 today.
in where? !usdefaultism
Algeria, Uganda, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Mongolia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Papua New Guinea, Samoa. !eudefaultism
Looks like I left out S. Korea and Honduras.
So your source (or the AI) is both cherry-picking and hallucinating. Making a Papua New Guinea mistake while trying to prove a point is a total fiasco.
My source is your source. That’s just human error. The point still stand. There are a lot of countries outside of Europe.
18 is the global standard in 90% of the world. Believe what you want, I’m done here.
Ok. I’ll believe that Europe isn’t 90% of the world.
Can’t buy cigarettes at 18 is a US-specific thing right?
I think 21 is age in Canada too. It might be in the rest of the commonwealth also.
Mmm not that I’m aware of. Different provinces have different ages of majority (ie. 19 in Ontario and BC, 18 in others), but I haven’t heard of no cigarettes until 21. Granted, haven’t been paying attention, that’s in the rear view 🫠
