I was once asked by a Captcha facility to click on all the 'sidewalks'. In Australia, we don't use the term 'sidewalk' - so I had no idea which little squares to click on. I had to Google the definition of 'sidewalk'. I have heard the word 'sidewalk' on American sitcoms, but not within the context of what they looked like. Americans need to understand that not the whole world is American. Make the Captcha tests culturally specific. Here in Australia, sidewalks are called 'pavements'.

As someone who’s been using the internet since I was 5, I’ve gotten really good at quickly browsing with keyboard shortcuts instead of my mouse. That’s probably why I get so many captcha prompts now that I think about it

I would venture tracking software is used for advertisements. Taking note on what people click on or what they hover over without clicking, which products are chosen immediately and which are thought about for a little longer can be really valuable in marketing. Seeing which parts of the screen attention focuses on can also help with ad placement.

So basically the reason they get harder: "I used the captchas to destroy the captchas"

Yesterday I had to give my phone number to buy 2 ice creams. Today I had to give the hardest exam of my life to just login 😂

Yesterday I had one where you had to select 4 photos of a lamp post. There were three lamp posts, a mailbox that looked just like a lamp post, and 5 photos that were just of scenery. The only way to pass it was by selecting the mailbox, which CAPTCHA at this point had been machine-taught was a lamp post because people quickly selected it each time just because it was another photo containing a vertical, black object, but it wasn't correct.

when the captcha showed me a group of identical looking cats and said "select all of the adult cats," i really thought i was being pranked. this is getting ridiculous. i legit once had a friend call me to figure out a captcha because he genuinely couldnt figure it out and needed my help. we sat there for 10 minutes together before we got it.

the thing is captcha checks your mouse movement and your solving time, and a robot (computer program) won't move the curser, it will rather "teleport it" to the location, and captcha can detects robots like this. And AI is not good enough (yet) to identify images from captcha quickly.

When I made a steam account, it took SO LONG because I somehow kept failing the captcha tests, spelling, audio, pictures. It just kept giving an error message at the end each time. I was so close to just giving up.

Girlfriend is overrated.

Picture CAPTCHAs are particularly aggravating because they assume that everyone in the world is American - in the UK, we don't have fire hydrants, crosswalks aren't called that, stop lights aren't called that etc etc.

I once bought 10 gift cards on Marketplace from 6 different stores. And EVERY website had me check different dozens of photos to check the card balances. I must've taken me a half hour...

This is just a black mirror episode waiting to be made.

I had one yesterday that said "find the motorcycles" and there was no motorcycles, but zoomed in deep on the exhaust system and speed dials. One picture was just a zoomed in picture of a gas tank but you couldn't tell what it was attached to.

I have thought of the perfect way to keep bots from completing captchas. Intentionally fail the captcha many times, then complete it after the “failed attempts”, or you can just turn on private browsing.

I never struggle with captcha tests no matter how hard they might be, I just go through them just how a human goes through them.

If you fail the captcha it's just because you're a robot, you need to find the courage to accept that and move on
