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?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 months ago

The wank auditor will see you now.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

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.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 2 months ago

This is still the case

[–] Gorillatactics@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

I will straight up never give any social media site a real email address let alone a photo of myself.

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months 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.

Question for a nuclear armed friend:

Besides football and good panAsian food, what exactly are we keeping terf island around for?

[–] basilisa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 😡

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