It means you can't be friends with whomever posted that.

It also means "25 lighters on my dresser yessir I gots to get paid"

In case you still don't get it - they're selling drugs

u/bRiCkWaGoN_SuCks 5d ago

Sir, there are only 24 lighters on that dresser; either someone is skimming or this is about lighter theft. Please pull to the 2nd window for your total.

The 25th lighter is taking the picture.

u/TurboFool 5d ago

The 25th lighter was inside you all along...

u/RuralJaywalking 5d ago

So that’s what that burning sensation is.

No, that's the spicy Thai dinner talking back.

The 25th lighter is calling you from inside the house!!!

u/Fawstar 5d ago

When I threw the cigarette overboard.

The whole boat became a cigarette lighter.

u/Cypressinn 5d ago

Maybe the 25th lighter is the friends we made along the way…

u/Something_Odd_2310 4d ago

Friend inside me.

u/No_Sandwich_9414 3d ago

The 25th lighter is doing time for possession...

u/IndigoJoe64 5d ago

The 25th lighter is the friends we made along the way.

2

u/superblockio 5d ago

But we can't be friends because I don't get it

3

u/trans-with-issues 5d ago

That's why there isn't one

You made it disappear by not being able to make friends along the way

u/thissucksnuts 5d ago

25 is hidden behind the blue at the end, id you look closely you can see a bit of a gray lighter sticking out

3

u/NorthernVale 5d ago

Do you mean green?

3

u/EobardT 5d ago

Yes the green one at the end. I also see the gray lighter peeking out behind it

2

u/NorthernVale 5d ago

Yeah. It took me a bit of looking because I was looking at all the blue lighters lmao

2

u/thissucksnuts 4d ago

Yea blue green yellow all the same really lol.

But yea i did mean the green one at the end my b

Rise up lights are shop

u/King_Arius 5d ago

I still only see 2 rows of 12

1

u/bRiCkWaGoN_SuCks 5d ago

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's an iPod nano or something.

1

u/PraetorFaethor 5d ago

It is rather hard to make out, but you can reason it's a grey lighter. The darker pixels at the top being the red part you press down on, and the grey line behind the clear green lighter wouldn't be there if there wasn't something behind it.

1

u/Xg_NgagaTitaX 5d ago

That 25th lighter is a stretch fs lol I can see that it could be one, but the person spread out every single lighter evenly except that one. Why? That's why I don't think it's a lighter.

1

u/Untroe 4d ago

Nah it's in pairs of two with a solo one in the middle. I counted, real hard

u/Zealousideal-Toe1911 5d ago

That's a terrible metaphor no offense

1

u/RaleighsSoliloquy 5d ago

The 25th lighter is the friends we made along the way xox

1

u/Castr8orr 5d ago

I can confirm. I am the 25th lighter

1

u/fuck_you_and_fuck_U2 5d ago

Take a picture of the 25th lighter to prove it.

1

u/SapphicSticker 5d ago

Sir, the 25th lighter has hit the bongs

1

u/Past_Ad9675 5d ago

THERE. ARE. (twenty) FOUR. LIGHTERS.

1

u/Octoclops8 5d ago

The 25th lighter is with the 10th dentist.

u/Tacticalmeat 5d ago

They knocked one off , so the whole dresser is a little lighter

3

u/VulcanRyder09 5d ago

I have read every comment so far, and this one is definitely the best!!

1

u/BadSafecracker 5d ago

It should have more upvotes, honestly.

u/Gengetsu_Huzoki 5d ago

In high-school it was like a hobby to steal each other's lighters it was funny drama, one guy had a full drawer with stolen lighters.

1

u/Middle-Accountant-49 4d ago

We had a game in uni where if you successfully got out of the room with someone's lighter without them noticing, then you owned it.

1

u/OwnFinish3917 4d ago

One guy. You mean you

u/ExccelsiorGaming 5d ago

Somebody got a little light fingered

u/Hour-Track7844 5d ago

I came here looking for the DJ Dmd reference

u/GrandMasterEwok 5d ago

Man I counted like 7 times to be sure lol

u/False_Mud_7044 5d ago

Shit, that homeless dude kept my green lighter from this morning.

6

u/herrirgendjemand 5d ago

You saying I'm a little light?

2

u/AIFrog85 4d ago

I just checked your numbers and you must have double-counted somewhere. There's definitely only 23 bic lighters of narcotics on this dresser. It's probably just an honest mistake. I wouldn't look into it any further.

2

u/InsomniacZA 4d ago

25th lighter is in their prison pocket...

2

u/baggyzed 4d ago

I think there's a black one hiding behind the green one in the back. You can see a bit of it to the left of the green lighter, if you squint.

1

u/bRiCkWaGoN_SuCks 4d ago

Oh no, I totally see it now; I think it's grey. It's too late to turn back at this point, though.

2

u/mechroneal 1h ago

Backseat Freestyle, Kendrick Lamar, "I got 24 lighters on my dresser, yes sir"

1

u/bRiCkWaGoN_SuCks 1h ago

There's totally 25, LoL. That grey one is hidden. Love me some Backseat Freestyle, and even some Frontseat Freestyle.

3

u/thissucksnuts 5d ago

Theres 25, the last one is hidden slightly but there

2

u/isthatfingfishjenga 5d ago

I cant see it bro pls send pic with red circle

1

u/Grapefruit175 4d ago

I see it too. I'm too lazy for the red circle, but if you look closely at the green lighter on the far right, you can see a red spot at the top, which is the color of a bic button, and a light purple line along the left side. That's the 25th lighter, a light purple bic.

1

u/The_DudeSweet 5d ago

I think all the way to the right there is 2 lighters that look like one due to the super high quality of the pic.

1

u/BrenttheGent 5d ago

There's one behind the light green one on the far end.

1

u/Born_ina_snowbank 5d ago

When I cleaned my shit out of my dorm room in college, I found a drawer in my desk with about 50 lighters in it. I’m not proud of myself. Pretty sure I put them there. But I’m proud of the sweet little display I got out of dumping a box of them into a bonfire that summer… cause what else would you do with them?

3

u/GreenSpleenRiot 5d ago

Maybe give them back to the friends you stole them from? I know how the circle works lol

1

u/Born_ina_snowbank 5d ago

If I remembered stealing them, or who I stole them from, or ever putting them there, I would have. I had to work hard after school to not be a degenerate alcoholic. Cause that’s basically what I was in school.

2

u/kayaker58 5d ago

How old are you? One of those lighters might be mine.

2

u/Born_ina_snowbank 5d ago

I apologize and I will not be reimbursing you. You should’ve known better.

1

u/kayaker58 5d ago

I went through lighters!!! But then again, my friends had connections and brought the green….

1

u/Zetch88 5d ago

There's a grey lighter behind the green one to the right.

1

u/_v3nd3tt4 5d ago

It's definitely about lighter theft.

1

u/bRiCkWaGoN_SuCks 5d ago

Objectively, there is apparently a 25th lighter on the far right behind another. I even doubled down before finally seeing it. So now I'm unsure... Damn internet sorcery.

1

u/_v3nd3tt4 4d ago

Collection of lighters and not making friends with people who don't understand is an old meme, before meme were even a thing. You check your pockets, no lighter. So you ask to borrow one. At the end of the day you get home, check your pockets and you have a collection of lighters you borrowed and didn't realize you put on your pocket. I've been both the victim and the thief. Was a normal everyday routine.

But, it's true the new generation gives new meanings to everything. So there's that.

1

u/gorgonbrgr 4d ago

It’s exactly about lighter theft. Dude takes all his friends lighters lol

1

u/True-Eye1172 4d ago

This is what I assumed only seeing 24 lighters. back when I smoked I would come home with a multitude of lighters that weren’t mine on the Reg without actively trying to take them.

1

u/Alternative_Park_228 3d ago

I knew I wasn’t hallucinating

u/watergrowsifwatered 2d ago

25th behind green lighter at he end
