    I remember reading that when national parks tried to make a ‘bear-proof’ trashcan, they found that there was a larger overlap between the smartest bear and the stupidest human to make a viable product.

    I feel like it’s a similar situation here. The smartest kid and the stupidest adult are far more similar than we’d like to admit.

      Funny, I came here to make the exact same analogy. I totally agree - a mature kid and an immature adult have a lot of overlap.

      Side note: the National Park Service has an awesome team running their social media accounts. Their posts are always hilarious and informative.

      Tbh I find it much more surprising that there’s an overlap of bears and stupid people than I do smart kids and dumb adults.

      I’ve met an unfortunate amount of people that would struggle to dump water out of their boots with the instructions written on the bottom of the sole.

    Excessive edginess

    It’s important to differentiate it from like. Having extreme opinions. There are plenty of adults with extreme opinions and they are a whole other conversation. – But only people under a certain age (not strictly kid, mind, though most people have shaken this off by their mid 20s) have a penchant to arrive at extreme opinions specifically because they are “edgy” and “cool”.

    This tends to also come with a particularly needless hostile attitude, where they very quickly and easily start with the verbal abuse.

    The thing with a lot of the methods mentioned is that I’ve seen both teens that are more mature than me, and people in their thirties that should probably have their internet privileges revoked.

    When someone asks what’s a dead give away someone is a kid, it tells me they’re not old enough to remember the ASL days.

    I can’t say there is one. Every time i think to myself something like “goddamn, this person is immature” I remind myself that there’s a high number of immature adults in the world including myself, so…?

    The neat thing about anonymous discussion on the Internet is that it doesn’t matter. What you have to say is all that matters.

    I don’t know anything about anyone and that’s great.
