Age verification but instead of verifying your age via some weird numeric or biometric bullshit, have people swipe left (“I don’t get it”) or right (“I understand this reference”) on memes until your age is calculated.

@hazelweakly what age do I get if I don't understand the swipe interface?
Show threadHazel WeaklyApr 20
@hl The same one if you press the button that says “I call my grandkids when the internet breaks”

@hazelweakly geeze, I feel like even being able to swipe one direction or another is an indication of age (I would fall into the fossilized category, btw).

@hazelweakly and then all the memes are north-American so the rest of the world is eternally minor.

@hazelweakly This has been implemented by @illuminesce for fun in their satirical game F.F.O.A.M! With "general" culture rather than memes, but it was super infuriatingly well-made (the age verification test, called F.F.A.R.T, is at the very end of the museum) https://illuminesce.itch.io/ffoam

@hazelweakly Add 15 years to the person's age if they take more than 5 seconds to figure out that one has to answer by swiping instead of by tapping. I had a hard time using TikTok and the like, the first time around, because of the swiping alone.

@hazelweakly Half my friends don't know what 2 Girls 1 Cup means. I did a poll. Mid-forties. They should all know this.

@drgroftehauge @hazelweakly I know those words together but I have still never actually seen the reference.

I come from the old internet, where you are always careful because there are some things you can't goatunsee.
