    Just because I still like the postal service doesn’t make me old. Ok the fact that I could’ve been referring to the band or the government agency and still been accurate might mean I’m old

      Exactly, a millennial has now clue about the newfangled kids stuff. Just hit “close friends”

      A boomerang is a short video that runs forwards, then backwards, then repeats. The post was already a boomerang, so you just needed to click share.

        Yeah, a lot of these were lessened because the task was easy without any knowledge. I like the iPod one because the UX would be unfamiliar to someone who didn’t use it. But things like “Type {phrase} into the search box” are really just a lame way to make a reference.

    I had absolutely no trouble until a slight delay on the iPod but had to give up a little later as my elder millennial ass forgot how to type on an old school Nokia 😄

    I was a little lost until the iPod and the t9 showed up, then it was almost scary how normal it all felt. I didn’t even realize I still remembered t9 but I didn’t even have to think.

    This was easy but have no idea what a boomerang is but I don’t use Instagram. I never owned an ipod but they are easy to use.

      The iPod was throwing me until they blew me away by actually making it so I have to spin my finger on the pad. If I hadn’t been on mobile idk if I ever would’ve got past thinking “Did he fucking feature with someone? I don’t fucking listen to Sufjan Stevens…”

        yeah, they should’ve picked a more common artist. i thought it was a trick about knowing the lead singer of a band at first.

      No idea what a boomerang is either, but I assumed the joke was the instinct to only post to close friends.

    Skibidi toilet? As a 39-yr old millennial, I’m aware that was a thing like a year ago, but I assumed it was a Zoomer meme or something. I can’t get past that captcha.

    EDIT: Upon looking at it again, I see it just wants me to type in “what is skibidi toilet” into Google, not answer what it is. Ugh, I’m turning into my Silent Generation/Boomer parents.

      You must be. It literally tells you what to do. Of course, I assumed proper grammar and got it wrong the first time.

      My genX ass was trying skibidi on its own cause most of the rest of the text is usually auto-suggested while typing in the search terms.

      Yeah, maybe the m CAPTCHA developers only wanted to share nostalgic memories of Google search results without ads. EDIT : let me fact check before I’ve written a lot of nonsense. Yes, seems fair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials

    I don’t understand the Michael Cera one. I got passed it but I’m still convinced there are only 3 pictures with him in it. That picture quality is atrocious.
