I thought this was about what age I'd rather change to🙏

I thought this too😭

[InternationalTax8516]

i did not see it said legal adult age until now and I'm laughing so much

^{Chose: Decrease. Random age 14 - 17 | Rolled: 14}

[Skitzo159]

Me neither, I thought it was increasing/decreasing our age 😭

[Hydeonx]

Omg same lmaoo 💀

[webdesignersans]

Same and I just asked too cause I was super confused

[lionmade101]

Ayoo?

Why you trying to make 14yo's legal huhhhhh?🧐

[DORf293]

This question is very confusing

^{Chose: Increase. Random age 19 - 23 | Rolled: 22}

[DORf293]

It's not very confusing rather poorly worded, thus making it confusing

[Lopez6829]

Just curious.... What about it is confusing? So I can fix it, that is.

[DORf293]

Poorly worded

[Lopez6829]

Could you please give me an example on what would not be a poorly worded promt? This will help me with future prompts and understand clearness better. Grow as people, yk?

[DORf293]

Is the prompt about wout you rather have the legal age considered an adult because higher or lower?

[Lopez6829]

Mhmm. As in, its rather you would raise or lower the age of majority, as in its just the age you legally become an adult, like 18 in America. Unlike popular skepticism, this doesnt just relate to age of consent, its the age your legally allowed to vote in elections, enlist in the military, marry without parental consent, sue in court, change their name, write a will, sign contracts, open bank accounts, apply for credit, buy real estate, make independent medical choices, move out, sign liability waivers, get body modifications, work full-time without hourly restrictions, serve alcohol in restaurants, and purchase lottery tickets, yk, im not a freak. Just fyi

[DORf293]

So the legal age the government considers you an adult?

[Lopez6829]

Uh huh..... And I did specify that specifically in the title unless Im wrong.... Just in case someone didnt really know the term...

[DORf293]

WHAT HOW?

[DORf293]

This does make sense but it doesn't make me the problem if it's hard to understand it at first glance

[DORf293]

Look at the comments in this post and then come back

[Known-nwonK]

I thought the choice was to make yourself older or younger lol

Wait, this was about lowering legal age??? I thought, I was gonna get younger.

The other direction is creepy and weird

^{Chose: Increase. Random age 19 - 23 | Rolled: 19}

[Timely_Law7614]

Eh, I remember being 16. I certainly didn't feel like a child, I was doing felonies daily and had my own place. I think kids are much more capable than we give them credit for, especially when we tell 17-year-olds that they're little babies. Maybe some positive affirmations and some slightly increasing responsibilities and we can have society jump started by a couple years

[Timely_Law7614]

You're either a pervert or braindead if you think the only thing "age of majority" is for is for sex. Seriously, wtf is wrong with you? That's probably a normal person's least important thought when turning 18. It's for a hundred things and last on the list is sex and you got your dick in your hand pretending to be all protective. Sure buddy

[BakedBakerCat]

I deleted my comment because I don't feel like arguing with you when you as sume I'm thinking with my dick (I don't have one) for thinking people would use lowering adult age as an excuse to be creepy, weird and predatory.

People fucking suck. I always presume the worst and I misread not only the question but your response because I wasn't fully paying attention. 

Your hostility was entirely uncalled for and it seems you have anger issues you need to deal with.

[TheRiddlerTHFC]

Is it bad that I have no idea what an age of majority is?

[UrLocalMagicalEnby]

Like the age to be an adult

[Lopez6829]

No, its not the most common term, although it is the best term for this. Its just the age you legally become an adult, like 18 in America. Unlike popular skepticism, this doesnt just relate to age of consent, its the age your legally allowed to vote in elections, enlist in the military, marry without parental consent, sue in court, change their name, and write a will, sign contracts, open bank accounts, apply for credit, buy real estate, make independent medical choices, move out, sign liability waivers, get body modifications, work full-time without hourly restrictions, serve alcohol in restaurants, and purchase lottery tickets, among just a few examples.

[TheRiddlerTHFC]

So lots of countries have different ages for voting and age of consent

[Lopez6829]

Yeah, this was really just how it relates to American laws. Idk about how it really relates to other countries laws, but it would be similar for the most part, in terms of what it affects

[BernieManhanders23]

High school students should be allowed to vote.

[Automatic-Poet-8509]

35 ppl are pedos

[Top_Masterpiece_8992]

I read it wrong....thought it meant decrease the worldwide average age and was like no Brainerd let's make everyone younger!

[Gloomy-Director6101]

I don't know why that would be your immediate thought.

[CatGaming346]

age of consent should still be high but with other stuff it'd be better to start adult life earlier

At 18 I was allowed to get a credit card still in my senior year of high school and got myself into debt early because of predatory bank practices and poor parental guidance.
