I've started buying the frozen ramen (raw noodles) at my local asian market :)

Instant ramen is more expensive than rotisserie chicken right now.
Doesn't happen to me on the web app.
This is not a shitpost, this is absolute gold.
Haha this immediately reminded me of this scene from White Lotus Season 3
I think you're misunderstanding the incompleteness theorems.
Gödel’s incompleteness theorems also apply to universe and consciousness
Sure, if you assume the universe can be described by a computable formal system. Godel's theorems apply only to computable formal systems.
To briefly summarize Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, it states that a formal system cannot describe everything.
That's a gross oversimplification. It really says that (1) there are true statements about formal system S which cannot be proven within S and (2) S cannot prove its own consistency.
This means that a Turing Machine will never be able to simulate our universe or replicate consciousness, and thus to replicate a human brain.
You've previously assumed that the universe is a computable formal system. But all computable formal systems can be modeled as a Turing machine. This is a contradiction.
However, it could be feasible with Quantum Computer that are not based on formal system.
How would a quantum computer even work if it weren't described by a formal system?
SSNs are supposed to be secret? Then why does every financial institution request it?
I have used OOP design patterns many times, but that doesn't mean I use inheritance a lot. I almost always reach for interfaces instead.
It was actually typed. Python had type annotations at the time.
I only wrote C++ very early in my career so I don't remember much, but I'm sure I at least tried some inheritance in toy games I would write. All of that code was trash though by my standards today.
Some legacy Python code that already used inheritance. I had to extend it, and it was pretty infeasible to refactor the whole thing to not use inheritance. Not sure if I technically regretted that decision, but it was definitely painful, since Python inheritance makes it really hard to follow program control flow.
No because those are different things.

The vendor/site does not need to know a name.
The idea is that people already trust the government with their identifying info. So what the government can do is issue, for example, an opaque "age ID" that is only to be used with an "over 18?" service hosted by the government. Then anyone visiting a website with age-restrictions would provide their age ID, which tells the site nothing about the user. The site checks the "over 18?" service. At no point do arbitrary websites need to collect identifying info.
Now obviously as I've described it, there are multiple problems:
One solution is to make the age ID into a "one time password" (OTP). Much like an authenticator app, you could have an app provided by the government which generates a new random OTP on request, and it would expire in a minute or so. Then users provide that instead of a constant age ID. Like before, the site checks the "over 18?" service using the OTP.
It's still not perfect, but you'll never solve the "adult buying beer for kids" trick without counterproductive measures. There are probably some additional tricks to make it better, but I don't want to get too far into it.
