This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I've always thought that CAPTCHA also checksfor time, e.g. if the correct solution is entered too fast, it will determine that you are a bot. This would mean that a fast bot would not really "win". Not sure if this is the case or why I've thought it is, but it came to my mind from this ๐
I've seen those puzzle piece captchas (common on crypto exchanges) that always say I completed the puzzle faster than 99% of users (even if I didn't do the puzzle particularly fast). I presume those 99% are all bots attempting to hack into crypto wallets.
Or, maybe, the 99% is a lie
