What is my purpose?

I’ve been doing captchas for 26 minutes now to get into steam on my new computer and every time I don’t get caught out by a single pixel and actually complete it I hit the button to get in and it slowly scrolls to the top of the page and says “bad captcha read” and uncheckes the captcha button and tells me to do it all over again

I usually just ignore sponsorships but this is the one that convinced me to *immediately* get a password manager. I use LastPass thank you very much :)

I was today's years old when I learnt that captcha was an acronym.

Making your viewers pay serious attention to your sponsorship segment of your videos is a serious skill.

I wonder if at some point the captcha will say something like "which of these images causes you existential dread?" and they'll have to create sentient bots that fear death in order to solve them.

Captchas are always fun bc the computer doesn't know what of these blurry images contains a train, but neither do I

That was the greatest sponsor I’ve seen ever

I uh, found this one, called "H Captcha" and I'm not gonna lie, despite having 20/20 vision and being able to see all the lines just fine, I still failed that one.. several times, to be honest. I understand the necessity to stay safe from bots and whatnot, but.. when we can't even pass our own safety/security measures, perhaps there's a problem

I’ve had those captchas so many times before and it never stops being frustrating. I used to have to regularly access a site with one on a device with limited controls and it made it ten times more annoying when you are slowly moving the cursor from image to image and having to wait for each one to disappear. And then you complete it and it gives you another one. I’ve had 10+ in a row before...

Police: "What's your password?" Me: "If I knew that, why would I have all these post-it notes?"

After you used the text ReCaptcha a lot, it became easy enough to tell which word you'd need to write correctly, based on the way the words were "twisted". For the other word, you could type literally whatever, so on imageboards where you had to type a captcha every time you wanted to post, it became a common past time to just write obscenities for the other word, in hopes of it making into the scanning system.

I don't know if Captchas display in languages other than English or if they always display in English, but I have already gotten a few wrong despite being a native English speaker because they have asked for things that are common to Americans but not common to Brits. For example I got one asking me to identify 'crosswalks', I deducted that a crosswalk must be a 'zebra crossing' (white and black stripes on the road), I clicked all the ones I saw but somehow still failed. Also the one Tom mentioned in the video about fire hydrants, you would need to have a rudimentary knowledge of the US to get that one since fire hydrants in Europe are hidden from view - they are all beneath the pavement (sidewalk) with just a small 'H' printed nearby on a wall or short sign that only firefighters are trained to look out for. If a kid got that Captcha they would be clueless as to what a hydrant was.

Oh, your human? Name every picture with a firetruck
