Also, "identical" has a different meaning here.

There's a special place in hell for the monster who dreamed up this captcha!

I used to hate this when i used to play roblox they used to push this captcha

Yeah, captchas have gotten worse recently. I had one asking me to choose “the largest animal” and it had an example picture of what was meant to be a lion. There was a rhino in one of the other pics.

It wanted me to click on lions, but then gave me something larger than a lion.

Edit: I just got this… Clicking on the flowers fails. Clicking on Skip fails. It wouldn’t let me try a third time to try clicking the cows, giraffe, or moose. But it clearly believes at least one of the three is smaller than a cat.

And the frog is scaled to look bigger so you don't know what they mean either.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My guess is the first one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it - it is the same little swirly thing, just coloured differently and mirrored. I've seen worse.

Rockstar uses these, but 30 of them, and each one asks for undivided attention. Count all visible sides of the dice, showing 6 different pictures of dice and then you have to choose 1 that matches the shown number. 30 times. Fuck that. I haven't been able to play GTA5 since.

I literally ragequit that captcha. Mine was showing floor plans and grainy "pictures" of a room asking me to pick which floor plan matched the picture from that perspective. I swear to you, none of them actually matched, progress reset constantly because I'd invariably pick the wrong one. It provoked such a primal rage in me, it felt like I was being gaslit into believing I was wrong when actually that captcha was cursed to hell and back. Thankfully my very patient partner managed to get through them for me and I only had to do it once to get the launcher to recognise my new pc.

You were solving some devs IQ test they couldn't themselves.

Imagine Optimus Prime trying to buy Sam Witwickys Glasses on EBay and encountering this captcha.

"Jo, this is fucking bullshit you guys."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Only the power of the all spark could solve this captcha.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Just ask chatGPT, it can solve capchas faster than a person. Set up a script and boom, no more capchas issues.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you attempt to answer this rather than refresh for an easier one, the captcha assumes you are a computer and blocks your IP

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

rather than refresh for an easier one

That was one of the easy ones! They got more abstract and further from identical as you went on.

And the bastards set it up so they make you think you're solving 5 of these... then when you do the fifth one, they make you do 10... etc... infuriating.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

The answer is none, assuming color also plays a role.

Whoever made this CAPCHA probably didn't consider that.

I looked at the bottom left and now 'Jellyfish Jam' is stuck in my head.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Had to do these to view some Twitter/X post a friend sent me: I don't have an account and visiting the link redirects directly to login. So I created a new account with a temp mail. Then I had to solve 10 of these riddles. After the 10th there was an error message that I cannot use this email or so. I asked my friend for a screenshot afterwards. I had a loooong day and it was very late in the evening. I never ever do this again. Shitty SM.

Are they identical objects?

Ship of theseus

Theseus who? I only know tHESEUS.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I looked it up in the Theseusaurus, they are the same.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If you replace a word with its synonym, will it still have the same meaning

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Theseusaurus, if you replace a dino skeleton's bones, with one from a different digsite, one bone at a time, would it still be the same dino?

When I see this captcha and it says "1 of 10", I close the page. This website doesn't want me, and I don't want to be there either.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Microsoft uses some of these. I remember having to do something like that to setup a minecraft account and at some point I thought I would just give up and lose my money.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

OpenAI uses these too. I used to have the pro subscription, yet they asked me to solve 10 of these for every other request. Needless to say, I'm no longer their customer.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Concidentally, I only saw these captchas from hell on sites that also have their own apps. I suspect they're trying to force you to use the app instead of the browser (while also training AIs of course).
