    I’m starting to think captchas have a mistake threshold I have to pass because stupid humans have to make errors

      What was that saying park rangers had about people not understanding the handle on bear-proof trash cans?

      I think it was roughly “there’s significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans”.

    • I mean is the pole that the traffic light is on considered part of the traffic light? Those two pixels of motorcycle handlebars in that one square that is otherwise just pavement? Am I supposed to click in them? Instructions unclear! I hate these things. Just scan my damn retina already.

      Then woudn’t they be robots? I have failed a lot of captchas cuz of the font mostly so they’re successfully weeding out idiots along with the bots.

      On the “choose all the squares that contain _____” there’s a heatmap so if roughly 40% or more of people agree on a square you’ll pass.

        If 40% of people think a square contains the necessary object then 60% think it doesn’t, and vice versa.
