Almost certain it's void in civil law (Europe) for many reasons.

Being deceptive is one. See the concept of dolus malus in Latin https://thehftguy.com/2020/09/08/what-every-developer-should...

The clause about not being read is a problem. A contract is assumed to be read. What to do with a clause saying it's not read? And the clause is the main point of the contract?

The whole thing is basically nonsense for lack of a better word. I can't imagine a court attempting to interpret the contract to enforce it. The title says it all "a joke software licence", they've succeeded at what they were trying to do.
