When I was 6, I earned my pen licence at school.

Now as an adult, who do I need to prove my proficiency to in order to receive my wanking licence?

The wank auditor will see you now.

Oh god I'm so nervous for my wanking practical test. I only just passed the wanking theory!

What prevents you from uploading a picture of someone else?

It gets you to turn your head. It's not just a selfi.

Meh, just upload a dick pic.

Greedy little pigboy.

You must show your id to access NSFW subreddits!

"oh no!"

changes www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com on the adress bar

"anyways"

Tho i remember when they removed compact reddit. But i think if they remove old.reddit.com, people will really start to leave, so they'll try to get rid of it quietly.

I do wonder how long they'll let old.reddit.com stay. I assume they don't want it but are worried about the backlash

Several years ago, I tried making an Instagram account. It was locked immediately (on first log in). They good me to upload a selfie where I was also holding up my driver's license.

[–] bl4kers@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

This is still the case

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

This is horrible, I remember they did the same thing with Facebook marketplace (only for everything not only NSFW lol) although you can just use a random AI generated face.

With 72 years it is insulting for me to have to prove my age and the only thing they will prove will be my middle finger 😡

[–] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

They'll probably VPN to mainland Europe to sign up for their account.

Chants of "aye aye... AI" resound
