"On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog" is one of the 69 rules of the Internet, where internet users, dog or not, must assume that every user they meet on the internet is not a dog. This means that the person whom you made friends with can be the following, your mother, your Math teacher, Donald Trump, a cat, etc. It’s just not a dog.
Provisions
[edit]The rule consists of 42 paragraphs of 14 to 17 sentences, all of the sentences saying, “Every user is not a dog, so nobody knows you’re a dog.”, except for the title sentence.[1] It is followed up by several pictures of dogs, all with the caption, “That would not use the internet”.
According to professional lawyers, breaking such law will result in imprisonment of 3 years.
What happens if the user’s actually a dog?
[edit]According to another interpretation of the rule, if the user is a dog, treat them like a human. Should they be assumed to be a dog and treated as such, if proven to be a dog[a], the person is sentenced to ten years in the gulags.[2]
