Also to ruin the joke: people who use methamphetamine will use a piece of tin foil to vaporize the crystal.

I came here wondering. Thank you
...what's even the reason to open it?
So people who cannot afford it will not keep opening a series of brand new boxes just to sneak a small square to smoke drugs off of.
O_o
It's ok, be glad you're clearly too European to get this. Leave the Americans to deal with their problems
Like we don't have addicts doing stupid stuff in Europe
But you don't have aluminum foil over there. You only have aluminium, it's a completely different situation, you wouldn't understand.
as everyone knows, aluminium foil is completely unusable as drug paraphernalia.
We use lead foil like God intended.
Makes the crack taste sweeter 👌
Mad cracker
Why people gotta bring Elon into everything?
Lmao, sorry
Yeah... al-you-min-EE-um
Of course we do, but at least in Western Europe we take better care of them. There's generally social welfare programs, shelters, etc. In Amsterdam there's shelters where they can safely use crack so they have access to clean supplies.
The question "like we DON'T have them" is kind of silly. It's about how predominant the problem is, not whether we also have a couple.
The US has several times the crack user per capita compared to Europe, depending on where in Europe.
The CIA worked very hard to get those numbers where they are thank you very much.

I ve heard from someone in europe how a shopkeeper frequently has candy bars stolen.
The candy gets tossed on the street, its the foil they want.
Fake news
They would obviously eat the candy also
Not on crack they wouldn’t

"Having heard from someone" this or that is a whole different category than the extent of the drug problems in the US.
"I've heard from someone there's this American Football team in Amsterdam, so basically football is the most popular sport in Europe now."

I am North American, and I have never seen this before.
Am Canadian and have never noticed it before but I have no doubt it happens in my city. I never thought about how they get that stuff

Ya'll?
"All of you" "You all" general Americanism for referencing a group of people.
Unless that's not what you are asking
You are thinking of y'all, which is a southern American slang contraction of "you all." However, this person put "ya'll," so it's a contraction of "ya will."
Either way, neither really fits on the context of the sentence. I wish they had just said poor addicts if that's who they meant to imply. Shame on me for projecting if I'm misinterpreting.
"Y'all" spelled "ya'll" bugs the shit out of me. It's my "I'm a descriptivist until..." Moment.
But "we ... For y'all people" absolutely is how they'd say it where I'm from. The quotes around the word read to me like they're shaming them (which, honestly, in the South, I'm sure I'm sure they are), but the sentence structure itself is perfectly in line with how it's normally spoken in my experience.

Lol bold of them to think y'all people can or will read. Much less give a shit. Fuck I'm so sick of crackheads

Am I having a stroke or are you?
He’s just on crack. ^(joking)
I do try, but it's tough walking out my front door every day, and the world is that much shittier because there's crackheads just leaving trash and detritus everywhere they go. Smoking their drugs in broad daylight on the side of the road. Dodging the needles with every other step. Listening to their arguments and fights every night. They make everything shittier by their presence.
I get the frustration, but don't be mad at the crackheads. Drug abuse is just another symptom of the shitty system we live in. Be mad at the people who are responsible for that system instead.
Idk, I've been dealing with this shit my entire adult life. I'm kinda running out of compassion for people who lie steal and strew garbage. I can't wear sandal outside my house. I can't have a bike because they get stolen. I get to clean up after them each and every day. I'm so sick of it. Fuck em

This is what I learned from watching the wire also
Make the best of a bad situation. Bring them water, tell them about the valuable batteries and often computers and cameras in Flock cameras.
This is by far one of the best comment threads I've ever read through!
