404 Media previously reported kids said they were using photos of Trump and G-Man from Half Life to bypass the age verification software in the popular VR game Gorilla Tag. That game uses the service k–ID, which is the same as what Discord is using.

    My kid last year in 5th grade (or maybe even the year before?) and his classmates figured out they could use shared Google Docs on their school accounts to have chats with each other, during school. The parent side of me rolled my eyes but the 80s kid in me was legitimately proud. Did I narc on them? Hell no.

    The one hilarious thing is that all sorts of new social issues arise with this kind of workaround. Document names get changed, someone deletes something that someone else thinks is important, etc., and they have to work it out. So it’s a learning experience, for sure!

    reminds me of how way back in middle school i made a mmo-styled chat world in nothing but a shared google sheet. it lasted 2 weeks before the teachers had to ruin the fun for everyone (their excuse was that people typed slurs in it, but that's bs because I would erase their edits and permanently ban them within minutes). i would also share obfuscated links to games and such on a hidden page, good times.
