A classic. So many questions arise from this simple text+image post:
Is this person's child named really "Strairdrac The Netherwatcher"?
Is Strairdrac even human?
Why does Strairdrac want to teach crabs how to read?
Why is it considered forbidden knowledge?
What other knowledge is forbidden?
We will never have all the answers. Still, the questions are themselves a sort of answer.
- to know all the answers is… forbidden knowledge
- Strairdrac is three crabs in a trenchcoat, now teaching others of his kind how to blend in with humans
  
  Crab people
  Crab people
  Taste like Crab, walk like people
  
  !!!!!!!!!!!!!
- the child is... strange.
  we've made repeated efforts to contact the Florida Guard, the Florida Attorney General, the Governor!
  Random Asshat: "the Florida Guard! that we be! please gaze upon my curdled milks and slimy vegetables!"

When I was a kid (way too many years ago) my parents gave up trying to restrict my Internet usage because no matter what they did I could easily get around it. I knew more about networking than they did. Then I grew up to become an IT administrator.
- The question is,will you be able to restrict YOUR kids?
  
  See instead of blacklisting websites you whitelist instead
  
  Don't restrict but rather educate and guide them. I would probably fail but hey: I tried.
  
  Probably not younger generations are usually smarter than the older one.
- My mom asked my uncle to restric access.
  I researched how to unblock it during my time :)
  Was seemingly IP-based and the router probably just created an DHCP reservation for my device. Changing IP to static and done. They should do it via MAC. And even that is useless nowadays.
  Edit: Also work in IT now.
  
  Yeah, with MAC randomization being readily available on pretty much any device now it is also pretty useless.
- I gave my kids completely open internet access and just chose to talk with them on what they might encounter. If I'd locked their devices, they'd just went online at a friend's place.
  
  Yeah, I don't have any kids yet, but if I did I would do the same.
- I didn't restrict my kids Internet access, but I did tell them that even though I'm not tracking everything they're doing online, the ISP, the school, upstream providers, search engines, social medias, advertisers, and pretty much everyone else will be.
- And this is why kids should grow up with increasingly restrictive parental control software. It's educational.
  
  You're not wrong. I was so desperate to get online as a kid I was pirating my neighbor's internet on my Nintendo DS with a borrowed copy of the browser, because that was the only hardware I had with wifi access lmao.
- lol, same, I'm a programmer now
- I'm not reading you CAN'T, but filtering software is FAR better than the shit we got around. If you lock your bootloader there isn't much you're going to be able to do except use other devices available to you.

Stolen (fair use) from https://rustacean.net
- Illegal crab learning, alerting the authorities
  
  Did we learn nothing from The Call of C'thulu?
- It's too late, they've already began developing novel new programming languages to infiltrate our computers.
  
  This means, unsafe keyword is the NSFW tag in Rust?

Dudes remove that spyware from your Networks omg

I should hope so. You want the crabs taking over?

I had less problems with my childs long before internet

Forbidden knowledge. Oooh.

Too late.
CRAB PEOPLE CRAB PEOPLE!

"Straidrac The Netherwatcher" is quite a curios kind

Literally 1984

You have learned the forbidden knowledge of the crab people.
- Crab People, Crab People…

Is this a joke about rust?

computer spyware taught me not to trust computers, my parents, or corporations
it also taught me how to format drives and reinstall operating systems

I still have ptsd from Kaspersky
- Nyet commrad, Kaspersky excellent product, we track all you do to provide greatest protection.
- Same, but Microsoft Family with all the reports and restrictions...

Well, how else would we continue to subdue the
CRAB PEOPLE
CRAB PEOPLE
- Crab people, crab people!
  They taste like crab, talk like people.
  One of my favorite South Park episodes and definitely the first thing I thought of when I saw OP's post, haha

Forbidden knowledge......???? WTF is that description

They're planning something... BEWARE.

Can't let them read, or they will rave

Kaspersky safe kids...Good to know to never use that.
Kaspersky premium is still pretty good, not perfect, but good.
- Also confirmed Russian company that sells data to their government.
  And since Windows 10 windows defender is (by Design) better.
  Because Windows integrated it into the Systems. Other Software needs to hack their way into those and often open more security holes than they protect

This isn't even funny. my parents weren't that tech savvy and i learnt about porn from about 4th grade or so. parents need to be in control of what their children are browsing
- Do you feel like you're a worse person for learning about porn at such a young age? I also learned about porn around that age (2nd~4th grade) and I feel like it had no impact on my life whatsoever as an adult.
  The funny part of the post is referring to "teaching crabs how to read" as "forbidden knowledge"
  
  It's not about making me a worse person. It lead to addiction. At first it was maybe once a week..then twice a week...every two days....and then to about 2-3 times in a day. It's hard to come out of it
- I'm an old person. I learned about porn at age 4 from finding my parents' stash.
  
  I'm curious, were you addicted to it later in life?

It sure is forbidden knowledge , what if the crabs take our jobs next !
