As of this week, half of the states in the U.S. are under restrictive age verification laws that require adults to hand over their biometric and personal identification to access legal porn.

Missouri became the 25th state to enact its own age verification law on Sunday. As it’s done in multiple other states, Pornhub and its network of sister sites—some of the largest adult content platforms in the world—pulled service in Missouri, replacing their homepages with a video of performer Cherie DeVille speaking about the privacy risks and chilling effects of age verification.

    There is no sarcasm here. You are right. They'd love that.

    I think pancakes COULD kill you. You just need enough of them. Like imagine 2 tons of pancakes fell from the sky, and right onto you.

    There’s no way. Two tons of flapjacks would need an aircraft flying at an altitude where the pancakes would disperse wide enough that I’d receive a significant pelting, but would not die. You’ve absolutely lost your mind! 😬
