Just got another one of these completely ineffective age verification pop ups and was curious of what others do...

Something went wrong with the captcha and the poll segment didn't upload...

Oh, well, it was only two options to choose from anyway...

I usually just click at random, just to signify I am over 18 (usually 1/1/1830 or something...)

I just scroll down and put a random date, since putting my actual birth date it's too much hassle.

Just choose a date that's old enough at random. I know I'm old enough, and what the gate is for.

I'm 21 (gaaaawd, I'm old.) - so why care? Usually I take a random day, because scrolling THAT wide is too much work.

It takes forever to get my actual birthday; I just scroll down a bit. Even before I was 18 I did the same, and not once did I come across something disturbing or otherwise 'unsuitable'. Unless we're counting things that haven't been mindlessly sanitised as 'unsuitable'.

I'm 19, I just put in my birthday. Not much of a problem since I was born January 6th, so not much scrolling. I use to lie though, of course...

CAPTCHA: I think that's the first time I had to refresh four times...

I'm 23, and I have always lied. It's too much hassle to input my real birthday, so I just randomly scroll-and-click.

It depends. On sites where I get asked repeatedly, I lie. I just go to the oldest year. For instance, Steam always asks this, and the Escapist sometimes too. But that's a result of being annoyed. Otherwise I enter my real age.

If its a scroll down, pick your age, I just set my age to the oldest already there (1991 for STEAM games), and leave it on January 1st.

But if it requires I type my age, then I don't lie, because I'm 18

I almost always actually take the time to pick out my birth date.. I have no clue why I bother though.

I am able to watch anything as far as age goes. However, I usually just punch in that I'm around a 100 years old to amuse myself for a few seconds.
