When I was working at a local supermarket, we had the instructions to explicitly ask anyone for ID that we deemed 40 or younger, when they tried to buy tobacco or alcohol. For that exact reason.
Comment on My friend got this when she tried to view a Reddit post about a dental issue that got marked as NSFW

“Estimate age from selfie”?! Wtf have we become…
When I was 14, I looked like I was 20. When I was 20, I looked like I was 35. When I was 35, I looked like I was 50. You can’t determine someone’s actual age from a fucking photo. Jesus.

I have perpetually looked like I’m 12 since 2008. That’s the most common number people always give me when they guess my age. I’m so sure an AI would somehow guess correctly.

My 25 year old SO got carded while my 19 year old wasn’t questioned when we were at a liquor store. I think because my brother had a big beard they assumed he must be old lol.

Yep, same. I’m not a fan of people thinking I’m not old and grumpy, but they usually find out.
