> UK is making you "show your ID card" to jerk off.

There are no ID cards in the UK, so you actually have to get a special jerking off loicense.





I remember giggling at those "oi you got a loicense for that m8??!" memes. Funny, maybe, but not to be taken seriously.

There are passports and driving licenses which are the de facto forms of ID in the UK (there are technically other valid forms of ID for at least some purposes, but almost nobody uses them). ~85% of UK residents have a passport.

Yes, but luckily the people who don’t fly or drive can now show their jerking-off loicense while buying alcohol at whole foods.
