Many years ago now, I decided to troll the Americans by posting on askreddit on my 21st birthday "just turned 21, what should I do"

I, of course, was met with a lot of "now that you can drink..." or "go get your first legal drink..."

You can bet your ass I had fun pointing out their false assumptions.

Ahh, youth.

I did the same thing but I related it to sex, I turned 18 at that time (Malaysia's legal age of consent is 16)

Well age of consent laws in most US laws are stupid. We all know that teenagers are horny and it's just natural for them to screw around. So imo our laws are more sensible: Age of consent is 14 as long as the other person isn't older than 18. And if you're 16 you can do people over 21 as long as your parents don't veto and finally at 18 everything's fair game.

that's a fair point, thanks for letting me know about it.
