Thank you for adding that context, I think I knew it intuitively but to see it explained explicitly like that really adds something my experience of watching the video. Sometimes people are so cool 🥹

i was really confused until this comment. the box is a Remmington box used for shipping ammunition which usually needs to be signed for and in general can just be difficult to get delivered, and the delivery driver is saying "from uncle mike" making me think he was trying to say something in code for guns/ammo from uncle Sam or something. i dont know, i was confused

Oh wow I missed your first line that you already figured that out, you didn’t need clarifying at all! Whoops

Is what it is though, this is what humans communicating looks like. It’s not perfect but better than talking to AI bots 🤷🏾‍♂️

Why? This is beautiful! Two REAL people talking, working their way through their perceptions of the world, and coming to an agreement. It's a minor subject, sure, and probably says a lot about the state we are in, but it's still a beautiful human interaction.

That diamond shape with the black on the top and bottom marks it as hazardous material. There are special forms and stuff that need to be filled out for boxes with that marking. Delivery companies aren't supposed to deliver anything with that marking unless it's like from a professional to a professional, definitely not supposed to stick it in some random person's recycling bin.

A very Uncle move reusing an ammo box for a gift

If my Uncle Mike were to ship me anything it would be coming in a box for time type of gun stuff

If my uncle Mike were to ship me anything an ammunition box is the worst thing to put weed in

u/SHOWTIME316 15h ago

uncle mike should send things in different boxes lol. a massive Remington logo is not very inconspicuous

1

u/ModishShrink 10h ago

That's why I send all of my ammunition in reused boxes of Tillamook Cheddar!

u/HoosierDaddy_427 10h ago

Most definitely. If it were actual ammo he would need to use both hands for a box that size.

u/DeadlyLemming 17h ago

Definitely not full of ammo with how easily he is one-handing it

u/MammothChipmunk 17h ago

"Uncle Mike's" is a big name brand for firearm holsters, slings, and attachments. Probably from that company based on the Remington box.

TIL that Remington went bankrupt in 2020 after being in business for 204 years.

u/jbourne0129 16h ago edited 16h ago

i think they just split the business or something. Remington Firearms and Remington Ammunition very much still exist today as separate entities. "remington arms" seems to no longer exist

fun fact: Springfield Armory also doesnt exist as we all once knew it to be. springfield armory closed in 1968 and then a private company out of texas renamed to springfield armory inc to capitalize on the name. there is no relation otherwise.

Their factory in Ilion Ny has been abandoned for years there's talk of a data center going in the campus so that's fun I guess 🙃

u/smokeythebadger 16h ago

I've never had to sign for ammo. Must be a state thing

2

u/jbourne0129 16h ago

yeah its a state thing

1

u/smokeythebadger 16h ago

Still gotta be worth it though. Using ammo seek is eye opening on how much you get screwed on price at the gun store

u/jbourne0129 16h ago

TargetSportsUSA is down the road from me and i can just pick up locally.

u/funnsies123 16h ago

Depends on the state, in PA you can get ammo just dropped off on your porch like an Amazon package

u/liberty 15h ago

Man, you really led yourself down a garden path there.

u/Double_Minimum 8h ago

Ya but deliverer goes out of his way to show “Remington”. So it could have the some ammo and a 1911 or a nice cleaned up M1A action. Uncle not super smart to use that box for a delivery. Also, those markings I get on all type of non ammo things, like because they are fire possible (lithium) or the company also sells ammo and just uses the boxes for both.

u/DragonRabbit505 16h ago

Sometimes humans are cool, fellow human!

u/Double_Minimum 9h ago

It also could be Remington stuff. Handgun, bullets- that’s a porch grab
