Can We Guess Your Age As Part Of A Deeply Sinister Population Control Program?

It’s time for us to come clean, readers.

Now that the cat is already out of the bag, thanks to that nosy little tattletale Edward “The Snitch” Snowden, there’s no use in denying it anymore: Yes, we at BuzzFeed have been using our many, many quizzes about pop culture and junk food to gather information about you, the internet-addicted public. And, yes, we have been routinely selling that information to top-level government bureaucrats. How the fuck did you think we were staying in business? Ad revenue from Skinnygirl? Get real.

Wait, don’t get mad. We can explain.

Several years ago, we were contacted by representatives from various nations, including the United States, who were having trouble getting reliable data about their own citizens. It turns out that people wouldn’t fill out a goddamned census form, but they sure as hell would take some jackoff quiz about Super Mario or Disney Princesses or pumpkin spice or whatever the fuck else we could come up with. People will do anything to get out of doing productive work.

And that’s all it took! Thanks to those quizzes, we now know your location, your occupation, your number of siblings, your income, your sexual preferences, your buying habits, and, most importantly, your age. Ah, yes, that’s what we were really after all this time.

You see, the governments of the world have long known that the earth was soon approaching a point at which its resources would no longer support its population. And so, taking a cue from Logan’s Run, it has been decided to exterminate anyone over a certain age. Thanks to these BuzzFeed quizzes, we now know where all of you oldsters are. And, rest assured, we’re coming for you.

But before the Great Clickbait Harvesting of 2017 arrives, take this one last “Can we guess your age?” quiz. A word to the wise: Answer it very, very carefully. Your responses are being monitored.
