A random fedi server's web interface just showed me an "age verification" dialog. It had just a text input and an OK button. Mildly confused, I did what came naturally and typed "ass" into the text box. It let me in.

@fbausch oh yeah, that sort of mistranslation is odd in its own way.
Reminds me of a certain ready-made cookie dialog I see on various websites, where the "Save & Exit" button is translated into German as "Sicherer Ausgang" somehow. The only explanation I can think of is that a human translator was really tired/overworked and misinterpreted "Save & Exit" as "Safe Exit"...
