I've gotten quite good at recognizing crosswalks, fire hydrants, chimneys and the like. Though I refuse to identify that one mailbox as a "parking meter" even if it means another trial to prove my humanity. Users of the platform get treated as spammers already.

I really don't understand your analogy whatsoever.

  • It's a reference to Google's recaptcha, which in my experience always asks you to try to identify features in tiny blurry low-resolution photos (and I always wonder how users with poor vision can deal with it). And it's not unusual for it to be wrong and insist that a street decoration is a bicycle, or something like that, and not let you proceed unless you agree with its misidentification.

    • Oh I intentionally select the wrong things on that mixed with the right things. Just to screw with google for trying to automate some BS by making us do it.
