5 Moves and Hanging: Why Won't Stockfish Level 1 Accept Dubious Gambits?

ChessAnalysisOpeningChess engineTactics
So, recently, I've been trying out trappy gambit lines, and I thought "oh, why not try them on Stockfish level 1. So I tried ... and they NEVER, NEVER, accepted. Here are some of the games.

Game 1

https://lichess.org/GfM27J1Q/white

Note that they did not accept either pawn even after two moves.

Game 2

Did not accept the pawn after four moves.

Game 3

My final game. Note that I left the pawn for 5 moves.

Thank you!

I sincerely hope you enjoyed the ridiculousness of Stockfish Level 1 vs. Gambits. I know I enjoyed(?) playing them!
