    Due to ongoing pressure from governments globally, we are instituting an age verification program. Recognizing that it is not possible to confirm your age based on a picture of your face, we will instead be counting the number of rings you have. We understand this is the most accurate measure of age.

      @nuintari @jerry Here's a weird tidbit. Did you know I am a certified internet business strategist (CIBS)? It's true. Back in '97, Novell offered that certification, and I took the test. It was unquestionably the hardest certification test I have ever taken. It was an internet history test, more or less. One of the questions was: "UseNet is run on NNTP. Before the NNTP protocol was established, what protocol did it use?"

      @Sempf @jerry I misread this, I thought it asked what was used before UUCP, and I was all, "Nothing, it did not exist before UUCP."

      I was very confused.

        @nuintari @jerry that's pretty funny. Yeah, there wasn't really anything before UUCP, was there?

          @jerry I'm up to 12. But I've heard the neighborhood down the way a bit has a bunch more than my neighborhood did... so I'm hopeful there will be more soon! 🏴‍☠️

            @nuintari @jerry I did have to edit it though. It's Novell not Cisco.

              @nuintari There will come a time when almost no one left understand UUCP. and I don't know whether to be happy or sad about that.

              @jerry Sad, definitely sad.

              As a student of history who has had the privilege to meet and interview American and German WW2 Vets, I am filled with despair that nearly all of them are gone.

                @Sempf @jerry FTP predates UUCP and even IP by a wide mile.

                But Usenet exists because of UUCP. Same with Email.

                    @jerry I wonder what type of rings you mean.

                    Rings with 1, without 1, commutative?

                    @greg @jerry Maybe the count of systems on which you can run code at ring 0 or below.

                      @jerry I thought the whole point of age verification was to stop the kids seeing the dreaded ring picture...

                        @jerry Forgive my ignorance, but is ring based aging a uniform thing or is there a standardized sampling location? For example, are my arms younger than my legs or are the rings just smaller on smaller appendages? Would I have the same number of rings in my fingers as I do on my thighs? If the number of rings varies, is there a standardized sampling location for the sake of uniformity?
