The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 26, 2022

Some of them are difficult, Brutus.

Most of them are real easy. How hard is it to check all squares showing parts of a traffic light, cars or stop signs?

It’s never been a problem for me, I have never bought anything because I seen the ad for it.

Wow! You must indeed be a born loser if you can’t click all the pictures containing boats or all the pictures containing buses! “Hey, Martha? I’ve got this ‘prove I’m human’ captcha here. What is the difference between a boat and a bus? I need to know to get on the website.”

Does this mean that Brutus is not a HUGHmon?!!! Is he a Ferengi??!

/SHMIRK/

Not so easy for me… All my websites have something like…

Cliquez sur toutes les cases avec des feu tricolore

1/4 pic of the side of a foreign train that I’ve never seen before will trip me up when selecting buses. School, city, double decker or some POS that looks like it came from a Cheech and Chong movie.

Three clicks and your in Brutus. (sometimes there’s more and sometimes there’s less but most of the time it’s three clicks)

Robot Brutus, that does compute!

Many are traffic oriented… school bus, traffic lights, yield signs…. I really really hope a Tesla could solve it. Although they seem to have a problem with parked emergency vehicles (or they hate them a LOT).

Just wait till A.I. evolves enough to figure them out. Will we humans be doomed? OMG! Never shoulda posted to pics on Fakebook. ;)

The bot loser?

maybe Brutus is secretly a robot and he never knew it… :D

People talk about the traffic lights. What about the distorted wavey letters? And if you’re visually impaired, you have even more issues.

Rob Ott had an interesting way to take care of those. ;-) (see Geico commercial)

I and Brutus has the same problem. I can do those anti-robot tests, but they are still a pain. The pictures are too small and the lighting is bad so you can’t see the image. So, I end up doing 2 or 3 tests just to gain access to my accounts. I sometimes wonder if these anti-robot tests, used to see if I’m a robot, have themselves taken my accounts away.

Reminds me of those J.G. Wentworth commercials for annuity or structured settlement payments – - It’s my money and I want it now!

Think of it as an “early warning” cognitive test. If you really cannot figure these out, as opposed to being lazy, seek professional help.

I’m sure his loving mother-in-law could solve them for him.

I know what you mean, Brutus. I hate those that say find all the pictures with a ‘blank’ in it. No matter if I find them all, their test says I haven’t.

Particularly on a phone, where the image is too small to tell what it is.

What about the ones that leave a sliver of a traffic light in another panel? Do I click it or not?

Select all the squares containing a bicycle in a boat pulled behind a truck which is parked over a crosswalk next to a fire hydrant under a traffic light by the stairs on the hill.
