Fridge fridge hamburger truck truck… ??? What’s the blue thing? I thought hamburger would be the answer, but it isn’t? I just get the same captcha with the hamburger in a different place. WTAF is happening? And what’s the blue thing? I answer and it refreshes with the same icons in different places. I AM HUMAN!

    Just ask ChatGPT; it’s better than humans at proving its humanity with these stupid things.

    Oh, I see your mistake. Those are Samsung fridges. Nothing has a shorter lifespan than a Samsung fridge. Since there are two they will die together to maximize the inconvenience factor, and they thus must be clicked simultaneously. That is the only way a fake Samsung fridge could mimic the frustration caused by a real one.

    With the lack of moisture and high sodium, the hamburger is immortal; the fridge will suffer a circuit board failure when the power goes out; and those trucks are designed to be planned obsolete in 5 years

    So hell if I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Ugh, Rockstar and Blizzard have these super insane captchas where you have to solve puzzles 20 times in a fucking row without making a single mistake. They show the answer and then you have to flip through 6 images and choose the correct image matching the answer. Times 20! I just wanted to play GTA5, just gave up. Wasn’t worth my time because it kept failing.

      I ragequit the puzzles on the rockstar captcha. Incredibly infuriating. I was reminded of the famous greentext from way back predicting we’d have to drink a verification can of mountain dew and for a moment that seemed less insane than the reality of these impossible puzzles. Had to get someone to help me solve them after cooling off for a moment.

        I actually haven’t bothered anymore since that one evening. I haven’t played GTA 5 in years and wanted to play the story a bit, but if this is how it is, then they can take their captchas and shove them in sideways.

    Captchas today are completely obsolete to avoid bots, more now with AI, since years and are just simple click ads from different companies since no one clicks on banner ads anymore. A simple Honeypot system or, as they do in some forums, waiting half an hour before sending the email with the account code, are much more efficient to avoid bots, without pissing off the user.

    I don’t mind captchas if there were 1-3 of them only. Try connecting via vpn or tor, you get stuck with 30+ captchas one after another going in loop even if you kept answering them all correctly they keep on coming: select truck, select bike, select cum… holymoly fucking shit bro

    It probably should be burger. But that seems like a trick since I’ve never seen a burger referred to having a “lifespan”

    It is the burger, I’ve had this one a few times today and it was always the burger. Maybe you have something else going on, sometimes adblockers break them. Whether intentionally or not, who knows.
