On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid?

I remember reading that when national parks tried to make a 'bear-proof' trashcan, they found that there was a larger overlap between the smartest bear and the stupidest human to make a viable product.

I feel like it's a similar situation here. The smartest kid and the stupidest adult are far more similar than we'd like to admit.

Tbh I find it much more surprising that there's an overlap of bears and stupid people than I do smart kids and dumb adults.

I've met an unfortunate amount of people that would struggle to dump water out of their boots with the instructions written on the bottom of the sole.
