For real though, security questions suck. Either someone who knows you has the answers which is insecure. Or you forget them. I just put my password in for all the security questions. My mother's maiden name was definetly "ahsh555[51´,5%8".

And what is your dog's name then ? Just asking for a friend who needs to secure his account
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the questions though, if you were to forget your password? I answer with nonsense too, just keep it in my password manager or write it down somewhere.
Why would I forget my password? Its in my manager
The first time I saw security questions start becoming a thing in the late 90s, I'd been online for about 5 years and had gone from a kid with decent tech skills to a skeptical teenager with decent tech skills. When I started seeing all these questions to answer while signing up for an account it set off the warning bells, so however many accounts I set up at the time have completely unguessable recovery answers.
Although one time I think I did guess my forgotten answer to "who was you first kiss?" as "your mom told me not to tell".
lol, I do similar, I stole from the old spy movies. "What is your mothers maiden name? A: The crow flies at midnight" Total nonsensical answers to the questions
It's so so so stupid. And if you're not married and don't have a pet, I guess you can go fuck yourself.
I had one that was something like "what did you wish your nickname was when you were 10?"
For me, I use stable related answers that are not quite accurate... So for example "first pet's name". I've never had a pet, and so I instead use the name of my favorite childhood stuffed animal.

Pointless red circle, pointless post title...
Ok I agree that the title falls flat but I appreciate that the red circle draws the eye away from the first text from him, so that it's funnier when it's read. A rare example of red circle as comedy, if you will.
OP not understanding that they're making a joke about a post that is already a joke on purpose
I'm noping out of there as soon as someone calls me king. Cringe AF.
When everyone is a king or a queen....we have one fucked up system of government, right there.
"King? I didn't vote for you!"
"It's EMPEROR. Get it right!"
"I'm sadly just a duke now, succession has caused me to lose the throne. Please do not call me that again or my brother will have me beheaded."
when she calls me imperator 😍
"My king!"
"I'm sorry, but you've thrown off the emperor's groove."
Thrown out window noises
You need to work on your honourific Game, just emperor isn't enough.
Exactly!
"GOD EMPEROR OF THE KNOWN AND THE UNKNOWN UNIVERSE" or GTFO!!!
God-Emprah of Mankind?
Bigger.
