35. Why, Of Course I’m Over 18
In the digital realm, where age is but a checkbox away from being rewritten, the “Are you over 18?” inquiry stands as the internet’s most polite yet utterly ineffective gatekeeper. Clicking ‘Yes,’ regardless of the truth, is akin to whispering the secret password to an online speakeasy, granting instant access while the bouncer is away.

The web, in its vast naivety, operates on an honor system so easily bypassed that it might as well not exist. This isn’t to condone deception but to highlight a flaw in digital age verification. The real trick, however, isn’t just gaining entry—it’s navigating the space wisely once inside. Usually other users can figure out if you’re younger.
