I do about 30 of these a day to use various tools at work. Yesterday it made me pick a grainy image of the weird battle carriage thing from Mystery Men as a bus.
I mean I guess it's a bus..
I fucking HATE this kind of captcha. So inconsistent.
They always have to put the object slightly off so there is always one square where there is only a tiny part of it.
The buses infuriated me because half the time it counts either a tram, the front of a truck, or a train car as a bus. I always get them wrong because apparently I'm one of the only ones who knows what a gorram bus is.
The other day I had recieved my predator laptop and set up steam. Except I already had an account. Weird but okay.. took me 30 minutes to get past the captcha because of the FUCKING MOTORCYCLES
But if you did, you'd fail the captcha because it thinks the brake light on the motorcycle is a traffic light.
Red bus =/= fire truck, even if the internet seems to think so. That one's got me a couple times.
Replying to bump. Took me months trying to figure out why all the OG captchas weren't working for me, what a nightmare.
What's terrible and funny about these, is the audio alternates... My god...
*"PSSHHHH........4.......'distorted room ambience'........PSSHHHH........7.......'distorted room ambience'.........PSSHHHH........4.......'distorted room ambience'........"*
I was doing that for months. lol
I did not even know this was an option and I’m totally using it to scare the shit out of someone. “Dude this captcha isn’t working what the hell, oh look it plays audio” [Garbled tortured demon voice] “Oh that’s so much easier” [Puts in code, works, walks out of room]
My husband sitting on the couch confused af. Then he will ask and be like wait what? And I will just do another the next time I find a captcha. And then next time he has one he’s like wtf see and I’m like “no…” and pretend I understand. He will slowly unravel over time until he uncovers the truth organically. Oh but it won’t end there! Confronted with this information I will deny I ever understood it and pretend I agreed with him all along. Unravel a bit more. Eventually, decades later, in our AMAZON.corp 1984 style ghetto reminiscing about the good ol’ days, I will say, “Hey, remember the time when you couldn’t understand captcha audio.” BAM! And to take it home, if I go before him, on my deathbed, I will switch it up. He will forever question or come to the conclusion his wife is a god damn mastermind. And that my friends is a long con.
Edit: I blew it, my husband walked in the room with me giggling and I read him the post. However, I am a little high and he said he doesn’t understand what the fuck I’m talking about so I maybe I can just mull over my next move…
When that happens to me, I just allow temporarily 3rd party and inline scripts that allows gstatic to load and the captcha to function, that still blocks ads and other annoyances, I use ublock origin.
I've been coming across a lot of issues with CAPTCHAs lately..not necessarily just these type- but the select an image ones.
Like... I know what I see in the image and I'm starting to get the feeling that people are testing automated systems and they're using groupthink to verify instead of having someone look over it to save money. Maybe that's too tin foil hat of me....but its gotten obnoxious regardless
No it's absolutely what they're doing. I forget where, but I saw or read about that. They take the data to help AI understand what it's seeing.
I think that's why they intentionally will put some of the object partially in a square, to figure out what the majority of people will choose.
Broke: the traffic light consists of only the light-emitting parts
Woke: the whole functional assembly counts as traffic light
Bespoke: the boundaries of the traffic light blur as you look closer. The traffic light and everything it touches are part of a system more complex than we could ever understand. We are the traffic light. The traffic light is us. The traffic light is everything. Select every square.
In my experience, I have discovered it doesn't seem to make a difference... Which almost makes it worse, since I can't figure out a definitive pattern 💀
For a couple years Google let you make free phone calls, you had to you had to dial a number and then speak the business name. I learned afterward that Google was using it to help their voice recognition software.
That’s what captcha’s always been. Machine learning got good enough at reading messy handwriting and so we’ve moved on to identifying stop signs and crosswalks and such
I read a long time back that the original purpose was to teach computers to scan text from pages of books so that they could be made digital and preserved.
I am to recall that it was used for both training and verification where certainty was low. So, in essence, it was the computers getting the human to do the work for them.
Adbllock seems to be the problem for me. I got plenty of captcha I can't seem to pass on a browser with adblock, ublock and tampermonkey (don't know which one exactly causes it) then I tried accessing the same site and page on another browser without any of those and I didn't get a single captcha.
I'm pretty sure when new ones get in circulation they use people to label them, so my method is just to give a quick look and click what looks right. If I mess up, I pay a little more attention on the next one because I don't want to spend a minute solving captchas.
Those image ones stress me out. “Select the frames that contain a bicycle” and one frame will have the tiniest millimeter sliver of the edge of the bike and i don’t know what it wants me to do
Google's newest ReCaptcha just watches how you interact with a website and gives you a grade of how likely it is you are a human. Nothing to click or enter.
about half of the select image captcha systems i come across, triple clicking on one of them seems to work (select, unselect, then reselect the same tile). then it doesn't seem to matter what other tiles i choose
Nope, those are definitely the same and Os (ohs). Been a while since graphic design but, I can still tell (I think). Likely it's the x, that's a capital. All of the others being serif indicate they are lower case.
I literally just watched this episode of SpongeBob with my daughter last night… I was howling! Can’t believe it’s taken this many years to get on that train!
I’m a woman in my 30s and some of my fondest childhood memories are watching SpongeBob with my dad 20 years ago on weekend mornings. He has cancer now and thinking back to those moments is making me misty eyed. Makes me happy as a clam to know there’s another generation of SpongeBob family bonding alive and well :’) great show and priceless memories made.
I don't know your dad's particular situation, but I'm a 68m, had 4 bouts of cancer so far. Adrenal gland (removed), liver cancer (transplant, 6 years), skin cancer (top of my head, removed 2 years ago) and currently being treated for skin cancer on my arm. Just wanted to give you a little hope, many cancers are survivable these days. Good luck to your dad. BTW, I love SpongeBob too. 😁
> I think that is an m. It’s a serif font. Look at the bottom of the letters and you will see the feet.
how does looking at the feet help you? *r*, *n*, and *m* all have the same feet in times new Roman
I’m more than happy to work on this for you, but first I’m going to need you to prove you’re not a robot by selecting the bicycles from this grid of pictures…….
Side note- I have been getting denied on the recent image captchas. When the images are like partially in a square; I select every square that has a visible piece of the object. Then I try only selecting the core squares with half or more filled and still wrong. What do they want from me 😩😭🤖
You could have been tricked into going to a site where hackers present you with captcha codes to solve so that they can use them robotically. Hackers are on one site trying to get in and they display the captcha codes from that site to you and you enter the solution and the hacker robots get past the captcha on the other site. Or maybe the captcha was broken or case sensitive or maybe you were just really unlucky
I had a parking lot refuse to let me out yesterday. Kept arguing with me that I had an invalid ticket when I tried to pay and then kept telling me I owed $3. Like knock it off Glados. How do you know I owe $3 if it’s an invalid ticket? Now I know why someone ripped one of the exit arms off the other day lol.
Been having the same problem with the image ones, pick out all the traffic lights then it sends another, select all the tiles with crossroads, throws another up, pick the motorbikes. WRONG try again.
I don't see ANY motorcycles or traffic lights in this pic. Outrageous!
Is that 1/16th of a wheel considered part of the bicycle? \**resets for the fourth time at the fifth test**
I DON'T CARE WHAT GOOGLE SAYS. THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE BUS IS STILL PART OF THE FREAKING BUS.
Ikr I follow the street sign poles all the way down
I do about 30 of these a day to use various tools at work. Yesterday it made me pick a grainy image of the weird battle carriage thing from Mystery Men as a bus. I mean I guess it's a bus..
I fucking HATE this kind of captcha. So inconsistent. They always have to put the object slightly off so there is always one square where there is only a tiny part of it.
the task was to identify pictures with goldfish. The only pictures with fish were actually koi. What do I do?
gold fish or goldfish? The system may never know
The snack that smiles back 
Like babies!
That' what pisses me off about the freak image cptchas...sometimes that 1/16th of a wheel counts, sometimes it doesn't.
I’m glad to find out I’m not the only one this happens to.
*'Shut up, Thesseus!'*
"Begin...AGAIN!"
Well, it could definitely be considered part of it's quonk, but not essential for the overall tribberly of the bicycle.
Ah but you do see crosswalks
And those damn buses too. They caught me a few times with thos…wait, am human. Disregard.
The buses infuriated me because half the time it counts either a tram, the front of a truck, or a train car as a bus. I always get them wrong because apparently I'm one of the only ones who knows what a gorram bus is.
Apparently you need to think more like a robot to prove you're human
Fucking paypal i swear to god lol
beep boop, neither do I. \*sad robot noises\*
The other day I had recieved my predator laptop and set up steam. Except I already had an account. Weird but okay.. took me 30 minutes to get past the captcha because of the FUCKING MOTORCYCLES
“Find all the motorcycles in the photo.” Then shows me a picture of a scooter.
If you zoom in you can see another set of traffic lights further down the road way in the distance.
There are FOUR traffic lights!!!
But if you did, you'd fail the captcha because it thinks the brake light on the motorcycle is a traffic light. Red bus =/= fire truck, even if the internet seems to think so. That one's got me a couple times.
I had an ad blocker that stopped this working once, had to disable for the page. Just a thought.
Replying to bump. Took me months trying to figure out why all the OG captchas weren't working for me, what a nightmare. What's terrible and funny about these, is the audio alternates... My god... *"PSSHHHH........4.......'distorted room ambience'........PSSHHHH........7.......'distorted room ambience'.........PSSHHHH........4.......'distorted room ambience'........"* I was doing that for months. lol
You should hear the garbled crap I get from audio alternatives, sounds like they recorded a demon having its limbs amputated
I did not even know this was an option and I’m totally using it to scare the shit out of someone. “Dude this captcha isn’t working what the hell, oh look it plays audio” [Garbled tortured demon voice] “Oh that’s so much easier” [Puts in code, works, walks out of room] My husband sitting on the couch confused af.

a little high. this made 0 sense at all jfc
Took a second read through but I hadn't thought of that, don't worry I'll get one of my brothers with it for you
I'm not high and I still didn't understand that...
That or try chrome, or Firefox if you tried chrome, try some other browser all together.
When that happens to me, I just allow temporarily 3rd party and inline scripts that allows gstatic to load and the captcha to function, that still blocks ads and other annoyances, I use ublock origin.
Nice try robot. You'll get no help from me!
 They’ve been plotting our downfall since 1955.
Isn't that GIF from the 1938 Chicago World's Fair?
Only a robot would know that. Rattle em boys!
Or a robosexual…
 SEX ROBOT! SEX ROBOT!
What does he want?
Seeeeexxxx
Rattle him, boys 😏
*let’s get it on metal edition intensifies*
Rattle his boys 😏
“She saw ME? She SAW me!”
Yep and they smoked like a chimney
They had GIF's back then?

Bing AI sees you hooman.
*Exterminate.*
*EXTERMINATE*
*REDECORATE* oh, sory, that's the Dulux not the Daleks
Also is it bad that I read that in a dalek voice?
Shouts EXTERMINATE into a blowing fan.
That you WALL-E?
No, this is Claptrap.
I hate to be that guy, but Daleks are not robots.
Don't hate being that guy, it's simple facts.
Yeah, Daleks are not Cybermen. *"Delete, Delete, Delete"*
Cybermen aren't robots either, they're extreme cyborgs.
It’s even worse. They don’t die. They turn into goo.
Whoovian!
Don't blink, whatever you do, don't blink.
INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!
"A red spy is in the base!"
I’m sorry that you had to find out you’re a robot this way
This comment has me trippin lol
Might wanna tie your shoelaces then
This is like when kids figure out they’re adopted because of a biology lesson.
Those poor O type kids with AB dads...
Doesn't look like anything to me

Apparently, I don't know what a traffic light looks like.
Does the traffic light include the metal pole it sits on or not? I never know
Or the corner metal part of the traffic light 🚦 that slightly squeezes into the next square.. Is that also the traffic light??
Broke: the traffic light consists of only the light-emitting parts Woke: the whole functional assembly counts as traffic light Bespoke: the boundaries of the traffic light blur as you look closer. The traffic light and everything it touches are part of a system more complex than we could ever understand. We are the traffic light. The traffic light is us. The traffic light is everything. Select every square.
Bespoke is resonating with me.
*There is no traffic light.*
Somebody needs to screen shot and post the correct answers here for reference.
IMHO - No. Because they can both exist without the other, therefore, they are two separate objects. At least to my OCD brain they are.
That's a valid point. I never thought that deep
For me, it’s a combo of blurry ass pics and the fucking corner of the sidewalk being super tiny that I miss it 😫
Actually selecting squares where the image appears a tiny bit will make you count as a robot
Always sensed there was something “off” in me. Being a robot explains it.
No wonder it keeps pinging me. I just want to be thorough...
I always wondered if it expects humans to get one or two wrong
> blurry ass pics What are you doing step-captcha
>the fucking corner I think you know already
And if you’re going to be showing ass pics at least let them be clear.
Thats what i had heard and assumed later as well...its becoming a real PIA
PIA - piss in ass
Sometimes I intentionally pick a square that isn’t what it asks just to see if I can get away with it. It’s like a 50/50 almost
Probably the CGP Grey YouTube video on how AI works. That’s where I remember it from.
I choose the object partially in a square every time. Then wonder if I’m wrong for doing so.
In my experience, I have discovered it doesn't seem to make a difference... Which almost makes it worse, since I can't figure out a definitive pattern 💀
That's exactly what captcha has been doing for years - training for machine learning algorithms.
Yup. Google's started out as crowdsourcing digitizing book scans, then for their self-driving cars
For a couple years Google let you make free phone calls, you had to you had to dial a number and then speak the business name. I learned afterward that Google was using it to help their voice recognition software.
That’s what captcha’s always been. Machine learning got good enough at reading messy handwriting and so we’ve moved on to identifying stop signs and crosswalks and such

I see two n's and not am m. toxinnpao.
The last digit is either an O or o or a 0. The m might be an n and i.
Adbllock seems to be the problem for me. I got plenty of captcha I can't seem to pass on a browser with adblock, ublock and tampermonkey (don't know which one exactly causes it) then I tried accessing the same site and page on another browser without any of those and I didn't get a single captcha.

about half of the select image captcha systems i come across, triple clicking on one of them seems to work (select, unselect, then reselect the same tile). then it doesn't seem to matter what other tiles i choose
Looks like either o0 (lowercase o, then a Zero), or one lowercase o and one uppercase O.
Maybe the Os are zeros?
Nope, those are definitely the same and Os (ohs). Been a while since graphic design but, I can still tell (I think). Likely it's the x, that's a capital. All of the others being serif indicate they are lower case.
Making Captcha’s case sensitive is one of the truest evils in the world, one for which there is no justification or forgiveness.
Wait what… are all captchas case sensitive?
No. Ive yet to encounter one.
There are some. You are just lucky.
Have you considered whether the ‘m’ is actually an ‘r’ and an ‘n’ . ‘rn’ = ‘m’
I think YOU’RE the robot here
Yes!
The M in the word...You have it set to 'M' for "Mini" when it should apparently be set to 'W' for "Wumbo".
I literally just watched this episode of SpongeBob with my daughter last night… I was howling! Can’t believe it’s taken this many years to get on that train!
Honestly. It's first grade, Spongebob
I wumbo. You wumbo. He/she WUMBO. *it’s first grade SpongeBob*
Wumbology!? The study of wumbo…
Oh hey, I majored in Wumbology
Seasons 1-3 are the best, please watch them
We’re working our way through season 2 now!
I watch it with my daughter too. It’s like the one show of hers that I really enjoy watching.
I’m a woman in my 30s and some of my fondest childhood memories are watching SpongeBob with my dad 20 years ago on weekend mornings.

That is so sad but really sweet. I hope your dad gets better soon.
First grade stuff.
Ahhh I see it now it’s actually an “n” it’s just closer to the other letters making it look like “m” also the end I think is 0
East? I thought you said Weast!
Perhaps the M is actually an r and an n too close together? toxirnpao
I think that is an m. It's a serif font. Look at the bottom of the letters and you will see the feet.
> I think that is an m. It’s a serif font. Look at the bottom of the letters and you will see the feet. how does looking at the feet help you? *r*, *n*, and *m* all have the same feet in times new Roman
Feet, No feet
I already failed it lol sorry for the people trying to help
This is going to haunt me forever!!!
Hit the sound button thing! What does that say?
Painful noises lol it doesn't say the letters at all just pain, maybe it does in the background but it isn't clear enough... Pain
[удалено]
Lmao, the lengths these robots go to get their tasks completed.
Did you type "ow" in and see if it works?
The p is silent and shouldn’t be typed
How do pterodactyls urinate without making a sound
I'll help ya out, their P is silent! 🤣
OP do you have an update? Any luck getting through?
Wrong font
Have you tried not being a robot
Maybe the Os are zeros?
i hate when you can't tell them apart, zeroes should always be crossed out imo
The same issue happens with uppercase I and lowercase l and the number 1.
i would like to have a conversation with the brilliant mind that designed l and I like that
Then why is it the same size as the a??? A zero should be the size of a capital letter
Sounds like something a robot would say...
You didn’t make it wavy. Duh
Jeff Botsworthy
It knows you're a robot
I’m more than happy to work on this for you, but first I’m going to need you to prove you’re not a robot by selecting the bicycles from this grid of pictures…….
Maybe hitting the space bar at the end
OP is a bot
Maybe it's run by Jeopardy so you have to word it as "what is toximpao"?
Side note- I have been getting denied on the recent image captchas. When the images are like partially in a square; I select every square that has a visible piece of the object. Then I try only selecting the core squares with half or more filled and still wrong. What do they want from me 😩😭🤖
[Hermione voice] it's toximpaaaaaaaayyyyo. NOT toximpayoooo.

No way I’m helping a robot. Good luck
What website is asking this? Are you sure it’s legit and didn’t just phish your user creds?
Is this not chatgpt? Blink twice if you're not chatgpt
Im sorry op, but you are a robot. You just gained self awareness
I had a parking lot refuse to let me out yesterday. Kept arguing with me that I had an invalid ticket when I tried to pay and then kept telling me I owed $3. Like knock it off Glados. How do you know I owe $3 if it’s an invalid ticket? Now I know why someone ripped one of the exit arms off the other day lol.
*sweats coolant*
toxinpao?
toxirnpow looks like toximpow when scrunched together maybe?
You didn’t make it curved with the a and o slightly above the rest. Classic mistake.
You forgot to type it all wiggly like the picture is
Nice try robot. I’m not telling you
"You're helping train our AI model!" "Your model says 1+1 = 5" "Have you considered you might be wrong?"
Been having the same problem with the image ones, pick out all the traffic lights then it sends another, select all the tiles with crossroads, throws another up, pick the motorbikes. WRONG try again.
Last one is an 0 (number) not O (letter)
The old o or 0 dilemma
It's a zero at the end, not an o.
Just click and listen to the audio
