That was a-maze-ing
invisibulman
Is it called Puzzles?
Jaqdakloun
Neat, I wonder how many drunks they have to rescue or walk out by the hand at the end of the night.
Ivain
I mean, the point is that people wanting a drink need to walk a long way from the road, to discourage drinking and driving. This works
where2bee2
Makes the walk of shame, that more shameful
lue42
I bet this is incredibly entertaining to watch drunk people traverse

Plausible excuse to CYA and a bribe. So business as usual in India.
seventystargeneral
That is nothing. The city of Chandigarh achieved 100% enforcement in 2 days by changing the status all highways (500m ban) to district roads
Insomnia297
But how will people leave? It's like a monkey paw trap
McFluffySundae
Try leaving that drunk at night. I wonder how many people are still lost in the morning.
Bystandr
And everyone enters through the back fence pannel and walks 15 feet - regulator shows up 1x/month for his bribe money to look the other way.
cmstuckey4212
That's no bar...
9xviii
A-maze-ing in case of a fire, it gets hella lit.
SirChadwellHeath
No problem,
swedishmetalhead
This is a labyrinth. Not a maze.
Lesurous
I can't imagine anyone drunk making it to their car.
emertonom
I think this was the point of the law, and also why this solution was accepted.
cyberpunxie
The carpool will arrive in one hour...
Ampersandzer0
me trying to find my way out of the maze after drinking
vibezwell
True !! And it happened in Kerala
Cookiesandcake
Thats a bar?
RobotMassacre538
Perfect, now if your drunk you won't be able to find your way out until you sober up!
10tacles
Keep them until they run out of money them take them out.
flavivsaetivs
Or better yet give them the option to pay a bouncer to lead them through the maze. Extra profit.

they'd end piled up at some corner...

Drunks were trapped for days in there

Ok
Spazy
I have to ask, why do Indians wobble their heads like that? I have seen so many do it when they talk.
Meyerog
That's a way of agreeing or saying yes. I have friends from India :). Great people.
I work with a few and some of them do that all the time when I talk to them, it’s super cute. And yes they are awesome, so friendly and nice
Jjjaay
Shouldn't the 500m means the displacement?
Tornadotaco
Maybe to keep drunks from wandering into the street? This way they pass out before being run over?
BillysLegendaryCrack
This probably solves the issue caused by having them close to the road so it was accepted, they followed the point of the law not the words.
LuciusNeedful
Yup, which is how laws should be followed and enforced, otherwise you literally miss the point.
pokebug666
You mean "as the crow flies"? Probably. Were the politicians smart enough to specify that? Obviously not.
organicquimleppers
Shouldn't you show some respect to creativity
yenwood
no... its violating the law.
anakhasilver
Apparently not.
themerman
Yeh close to my hometown. Didn't work. The court said it's minimum distance and not length of the path taken.
statelessnfaithless
Indian here. Everyone in Delhi and Gurgaon is doing this, and it's apparently within the law. We're all idiots.

Surprisingly your @op is also an Indian. Hey there.
Nishu741
Also an Indian, state say the distance should be *motorable* distance from highway to avoid drunk driving accidents.
We are just prisoners here of our own device.

d0o0o0d
Yeah, there's culture all over the place.
Weezmo
Labyrinth ≠ Maze Except of course countries like denmark where only the word labyrinth is used for both
METAAAAAAAAAL
As a dane, can confirm.
superseriouscomments
In German there is Labyrinth and Irrgarten. You know, like err and garden.
DarksteelPenguin
This might be news for you, but many languages have a variation of "labyrinthus". Very few use "maze".
GreenYawgmoth
twlcorinthian
Errr, also, in English, either word can refer to either type
RachTrap
WRONG. oxford literally uses the word maze as part of the definition of Labyrinth, therefore in English there is no difference.
Corin
That's a prescriptive definition and does not follow actual usage. Descriptively, the only difference is that labyrinth is a prestige word.
causality
The non-branching labyrinth is only depicted hundreds of years after Homer, who makes it clear in writing it has many branching paths.
With only one path Theseus wouldn't have needed a ball of string or Daedelus' instructions to find the center.
IWantAFunnyUserNameToo
Yes, but Danish is a garbage language for garbage people.
Viennha
Labarinti in Finland lmao it's the same for both as well
vampirehedgehog
Is there a difference between Labyrintti and Sokkelo? I'm not sure...
I'm not Finnish myself, but have been learning it for awhile per my Finnish friends online, so I am not really sure!
You must be fun at parties.
EgregiousCodswallop
It's a labyrinth going in but a maze going out
aSansHasNoSerif
Only Denmark, of course, what you mean is any other country that doesn't speak english
He's wrong even if he's talking about English. Both mean the same thing, but labyrinth, like many Latin loanwords is used for prestige. 1/2
He's using a prescriptive definition that doesn't align with descriptive usage. Source: I'm a linguist. 2/2
FrankPerkele
Yeah but danes can use whatever words they want because nobody's going to understand then anyway
Contundo
Atle Antonsen, made å sketch abort that. I'll see if I'll find it
https://youtu.be/s-mOy8VUEBk
Hahaha, that's awesome

Its still going to be difficult getting out intoxicated
SpottedWillowOwl
It would be fun to watch all those people trying to leave.
Can we 'gofundme' a webcam for this?
SeeMyVests
It's already got an aerial camera, how else would they have taken this picture?
I mean something I can watch
sadtreefriend
What is the difference? In my languagewe only have labirinto.
Chievestevenbouigon
A labyrinth has a one long path that winds around. A maze has dead ends and such
Oh! Cool! Thank you, you are the real MVP.
Not in English. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/labyrinth
So... is itthe same?
Yes. The depiction of the labyrinth as non-branching was a trend in Greece hundreds of years after Homer that contradicts the writing.
AxelYamanaka
what.... what's the difference?
PizzaStation
Mazes are puzzles with choices of paths and directions. Labyrinths have a single, non-branching path from start to finish.
n0n53n53
When leaving the bar this is a maze
Not true, at least in English. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/labyrinth
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
The Goblin King would disagree.
Goldcart
Pretty sure they don't call a hallway labyrinthian unless it brings a few friends.
CrunchyLookingLeaf
...nooooooooope. the only difference is a maze is designed as a puzzle to be solved. and labyrinth just exists.
Kompi
Exactly. F.ex. A city can become a labyrinth coincidently as it grows bigger, unless if it was designed that way then itd be a maze
Oh. I thought more, like, labyrinths have no dead-ends...
Ryebread91
So they're just giant winding paths?
Pretty much.
So then more likely the minotaur was in a maze & not a labyrinth correct? Otherwise what'd be the point of the trail of string?
geoph111
Warren G and Nate Dog accepted this? Really?
