I used a photo I found online from my local governments department of transport. The name was “Sam S. Sample” with a photo of Mr Bean. So far Reddit, discord, and pornhub have all accepted it.
I’m in my 30s but fuck giving my government ID to random American corporations with a history of data breaches.
I am in Australia where they have banned under 16s from using social media and porn. In reality it’s just forced adults to upload ID to various websites and kids just use vpns
Wish I could’ve used this method to regain OnlyFans access – their verifier took multiple photos of my head for a 3D scan, and the site geolocks its users like Steam, so VPNs wouldn’t work.
This is actually a fun bit of historical trivia. That passport isn’t something someone just cooked up in Photoshop. It’s real.
In 1976, his remains were issued an Egyptian passport (nearly 3 thousand years after his death) so that he could be transported to Paris for an irradiated treatment to prevent a fungoid growth.
Funny enough, there are villages in eastern Anatolia that are not on the government maps.
They do trade with other towns and have gas, cars etc but population is mainly sheep herders and native to the land like ethnic Kurds.
So there are actual non-zero chances that there is some hidden ancient Hittite village last recorded by Alexander the Great’s empire, and the Persians/Romans who conquered a fort nearby later didn’t survey that particular location before assuming they control its area now, so the village kinda has been sitting there enjoying not paying any taxes; and an actual bloody hittite from that place could leave their rural town today to go get an id and work at tumblr hq.
At least in my history-adjacent fanfic that I just came up with.
Was about to say how much I love it when a random shitpost leads to an insightful comment by an actual expert in a very niche topic. Then read your last sentence. Well played.
Also, sadly this is not that real passport. You can tell (at a minimum) because the first machine-readable passports were issued in 1980, and Egypt didn’t start issuing MRPs until 2008.
Yeah I’ve seen a bunch of these. It’s pretty clear that ID verification is just a drag net to catch the uninformed or stupid people which is going to be like 70% of traffic anyway.
Afaik it was issued only to appease (British or French) custom and borders agencies. Ramses II was send to another country for research and even deceased humans require an ID to enter the receiving country.

I’ve never had to do that other than actual government organizations. It must be American.

pornhub?
It’s a website that hosts pornographic content.
Almost like some kind of hub, for porn
But that’s not important right now

If a site ever asked me to submit a full head scan, I don’t think I would ever go back to it.
They’re gonna replace their creators with AI-generated content from those scans.

Just put him back in his dark, dry grave.
Making a 3000 year old mummy rely on hightech that wouldn’t last a 100 years, smh.
Oh goodness that’s funny.
Well he’s clearly over the age range, I don’t see an issue.
It’s clearly expired!
Well that just means they’re even older!
Hopefully whatever platform they signed up for isn’t owned by the bloody Hittites

thanks to France, they required the passport to be transferred there, so Egypt printed one

Don’t you mean banana gods
I always thought it said ‘Commands the Gods’ as a kid
Thank you! I came to the comments for this :)

Return the slab
“That man belongs in a museum.”
He has a license to drive a chariot between Sunrise and Sunset.
This age verification garbage is actually the (final) reason why I moved to Lemmy lol
How can this be! The AI used to search the image is top notch! It’s the LATEST tech!
Even the expiration date isn’t correct
thats how we get cursed, do you want to get cursed?!?!
“Return The Slab, or suffer my curse…”
Picture taken sometime after defeating the sea people
@BonesOfTheMoon I have to admit, that's very clever.
I’ve never seen anyone put their profession on their passport.
I suspect this might be fake.
Apparently profession is a field in a regular Egyptian passport lmao
Or the fact that it says deceased lmao
Afaik it was issued only to appease (British or French) custom and borders agencies. Ramses II was send to another country for research and even deceased humans require an ID to enter the receiving country.
passport number should be A00000001
I fucked up and in a moment of desperation to buy an age controlled substance I uploaded mine to a verifier.
I don’t think it’s necessary to say Twitter sucks when posting a screenshot of a tweet.
Twitter?
Never met her.
