What's the deal with buying single cans out of a multipack at a bottle shop? (Australia)

What's the simplest thing humans are too dumb to grasp?
You ever see a dog that’s got its leash tangled the long way round a table leg, and it just cannot grasp what the problem is or how to fix it? It can see all the components laid out in front of it, but it’s never going to make the connection....

Is there a length limit on comments?
I’ve been trying to post a - rather long - comment for a while, and it’s just not going through. It just instantly disappears on old.lemmy.world, and sits there spinning on the main site - while one-liner comments elsewhere have worked as normal. I’m not getting errors, but that’s kind of par for the course. Could it be...

I’ve always vaguely assumed that Armenia was the shat-on underdog in this, what with turkish genocide and the overal politics of SOAD, but the sources I’ve found when trying to have an informed position on it all have been dry as hell, and I confess my eyes keep glazing over.
