15 Amazing Websites You Didn't Know Existed

12. Being Underage Isn't So Bad

One of the questions we often like to ask ourselves, dear readers, is when exactly we'll stop lying about our age on the internet. It's a trick us millennials all learned in our adolescence, a way to get to adult content through the frankly perfunctory barriers that websites put up - when they ask how old you are, you just lie and say you're, like, forty-something. Which we're not, by the way, but our instinct is always still to claim we're middle aged rather than putting in our actual, legal birthdate. In most cases copping to be under 18 (or 21 in the US, and what is up with that, by the way?) will get you booted to Google or something, but the Black Ace Brewing Co has a much more entertaining redirect. The landing page for the beer company's website will ask you straight up whether or not you're a 21-year-old. Saying yes will take you through to their home page, no sweat. Tell them you're under 21, meanwhile - something that nobody in their right mind would do, because you wanna get at the website, right? - will instead lead you to a music video of old Masters Of The Universe cartoons edited to look like He-Man is singing a high-NRG cover of the song What's Up? by 4 Non Blondes. It's kind of magical.
