Life finds a way

@vowe I'm shocked it worked

[jibel@ruhr.social]

@vowe this is illegal! some one ban pens - we cant have this kind of criminals around the internet

[sassinake@mastodon.social]

@vowe

you just know 'labour' will use this information to round up 'illegals' if they get in power (by election or corruption)

@vowe I knew someone who had a beard at 15, never got asked for ID when buying alcohol.

@riggbeck @vowe

Same here! Such an elegant, simple solution to such a stupid problem.

[opoponax@mastodon.social]

@vowe if a cosmetic pencil is all it takes to bypass the process, then can't be a good process to start with. Also reminds me of how kids used Google Docs to bypass social media restrictions and secretly message their friends. Kids will always find cleverly simple workarounds

@vowe when i was 14 i had a goatee, the drinking age was 18 so i bypassed age verification back in the 80s, nothing new....

@vowe I can't believe it's not TheOnion!

[martinrocket@mastodon.social]

@vowe that checks out: certainly, the verification uses AI, and if it is trained on data, where a specific feature (lets say, a moustache) is linked to a specific age category, the AI will detect it as that age...

[old_angry_queer@girlcock.club]

@Sassinake idk mustache sounds easier even still

@vowe

[furrybeta@shark.community]

@vowe The kids are all right

[xs4me2@mastodon.social]

@vowe

Haha! Sure does, always!

@old_angry_queer @vowe

you risk being sent the Gender Police then.

[stux@mstdn.social]

@vowe Whaha love this

[stonebear2@hachyderm.io]

@vowe Where there's a will, there's a way to subvert it...

@vowe
Somewhat restores my faith in youth.

[simonwilliamson@mastodon.world]

@vowe It reminds me of my grandmother who got a discount at the cinema by wearing a long coat and sitting on her sister's shoulders (she was a tad on the short side). No matter the era, children will always find a way.

[driusan@doomscroller.social]

@vowe@social.heise.de This is probably the first time in history that young people have rapidly found a way to bypass measures put in place by adults to restrict what they can do and shared it amongst their peers.

@vowe

Good for them! I have high hopes for their future creating problem solving skills
