Also when only a tiny part of the wheel is in the corner of a square, does it count? What about the motorcycle's mirror? Apparently it doesn't most of the time. But sometimes it does.

Also the absolute worst are those "click all the squares that have a in it until they're all gone" Then when you click on them the image disappears and sometimes you have to wait way too long for another image to finally appear in its place. You know when the images take too long to appear like that it will fail you no matter what, probably because you "took too long" to solve the captcha.

Yep, this happens constantly.

Also, a motorcycle and a moped are apparently the same thing.

Everyone knows that captcha is just google crowd sourcing part of its image recognition software, right?

I recently had to do a captcha where all the pictures are AI generated, it asks me to pick pictures of bags, there's a bag the size of a car in the middle of the road, I failed the captcha because I didn't pick that.

Is this the dude that coppied me in calc but didn't realize that the professor very obviously handed out 2 different versions of the test? Like I repeatedly saw him staring at my answer sheet and thought "noone can be that stupid" because the two test versions were literally printed on different colors of paper and the professor told everyone they were different versions to prevent cheating. Then to my immense delight the professor called him out on it the next day by congratulating him on getting 100% on the wrong version of the test.

I refuse to click on a scooter or a moped when I get that one. They are not motorcycles.

Lower your cognitive load:

They are a million times easier than they were years ago. My memory is of utterly impossible audio CAPTCHAs, now I’ve been meaning to try transcribing the audio automatically but very easy to do manually. (Don’t wanna install an extension since I don’t face many CAPTCHAs.)

somebody flat out told one of my friends that he was going to be copying his answers for a math test. so for every answer, my friend added 12.3, waited until the other guy turned his test in, then went back and subtracted 12.3 from all of his answers.

Buster is a great help on desktop: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/

What about when it shows a scooter? As a lifelong motorcycle rider I can't bring myself to call such a thing anything but a scooter

huh I never click on the driver and still pass lol

maybe cause I started doing them slowly and adding unnecessary but humane touches / mouse movements

Flann O’Brien would have sided with the CAPTCHA.

Authoritarian: do exactly what I did or else GTFO.
