And to conclude, here's
a captcha I would gladly do!

I used to love when the airlines asked if I was a terrorist carrying explosives.

Mistress Maddie said...

The firts and the last had me roaring!!!!! I haven't got one of those in some time, but sometimes, when even clicking the right squares, I once got like 9 different "click on any squares with a ....." crazy!!!!!

They used to ask people to swear whether they were planning to overthrow the government by force or stealth.. You actually signed this as part of citizenship application. I used to wonder if I was supposed to check which. Now of course, it's part of campaigning for Congress.

Puppies and muffins ... 👍

Marie Smith said...

The muffins are super cute!

Travel said...

Sorry Hall, I can't do that. There was a good news item of the weekend about writing by AI, apparently A has published the first books written that way.

Frank said...

These don't irk me as much as spam emails. I spend a lot of time deleting. I used to rarely get spam but once it started its become uncontrollable - even the email preference "rules" don't work. I wish there was a way to respond that would destroy their computers...but then they would just retaliate I'm sure.

OMG the muffins!!!
And we are going to do training to learn to detect papers written by AI. Yep. It's gonna get ugly.

XOXO

Pixie said...

Too funny!

baili said...

Hahaha I am crying and laughing at the same time because this thing drives me insane and sometimes I just close it away. Who is. Incharge of it please stop.

Hahaha the poor bride. I doubt this marriage is going to happen lol

Alas f first one so true my wonderful friend Debra :)
Hugs and blessings

Old Lurker said...

Plot twist: some of the dogs are named Muffins.

Leanna said...

These were so good. At least we don't have to verify that we are humans here. Well, right now at least.

Tundra Bunny said...

I HATE, LOATHE AND DESPISE those *$#!*%@ captchas! Motorcycles seem to be anything from Vespas to scooters.... now if they were all muffins and chihuahas, they would at least be fun to do!

Boud said...

Correction to my comment: it was "force or violence". But it still seemed to be a choose a or b situation.

Mike said...

Now I need a muffin!

Ol'Buzzard said...

George Santos says he was once a robot.

Mr. Shife said...

I would have to skip the muffin one and ask for a new one. Way too hard. AI and robots are starting to get a little scary. They are definitely making my job more difficult.

roentare said...

You made your point. 100% agreeing with the message here.

Anonymous said...

Haha, Bob! Seriously! Sometimes I actually enjoy those captcha tests. Just a weirdo, I guess, or too much time on my hands.

I always thought signing a statement that we would not blow up the country was a reverse check on reading the statement.

Kirk said...

You're a robot if you can't solve a captcha.

Science-fiction writers used to warn about robots replacing humans, but that's not quite what they had in mind.

peppylady (Dora) said...

I recall spam being a can meat.
Coffee is on and stay safe

Bea said...

Whoa. That dog-muffin photo montage is trippy.

I now receive weird-o messages on WhatsApp. 'Hi, friend...!' gets a swift block.

Lady M said...

The muffins and the chihuahuas are fun and a little tricky.

Richard said...

Oh no not the Nicaean Question again! I am here to tell you that i know people who just gave up on Captchas. They seem to be living normal lives.

Ur-spo said...

I liked the muffins

Adam said...

Jan 6 terrorists got off easy

some of them legally deserved what they were planning for Mike Pence

River said...

Love the muffin one :)

lissa said...

The first one - so true. I got tested a few times with having to look for fire hydrants from tiny blurry images - so I kept refreshing the images - who could pass those?

Have a lovely day

pam nash said...

Actually, I think I've seen some of those CAPTCHA's before - like for real.

Janie Junebug said...

These are great, but I'm always asking myself if I really am a robot and I just think I'm not.

Love,
Janie

Magaly Guerrero said...

Hey, one of those muffins looks like a cookie. Also, how do I know that one of those puppies isn't a Muffin? This is too hard! Or, perhaps, I am a robot... 🤖🤯

Guillaume said...

And with deep learning, a machine can think like a human...

Fundy Blue said...

I hate captchas, but that last one is precious, Debra!

Liz Hinds said...

What I don't understand is how I get it wrong when told to click on images containing cars.

Rommy said...

What if some of those puppies were named Muffin? (My husband's first dog was named Muffin)

The Blog Fodder said...

The puppy muffin captcha is the best. Not sure I could pass.
Some of the captchas are so vague, I can't make them out. Old eyes, I guess. My personal favourite is the captcha of snow covered evergreens and you have to pick out all the squares with Finnish snipers

Bracken Crafts- 100 garments said...

Yes that first one!

Green Monkey said...

Muffin made my day (and made me hungry)

Yvonne said...

I'm late to read this, but this is hilarious.

Rommy said...

What if the dogs were all named Muffin?
