    I really hate these text formats. It messes with the default reading order humans have had for millenia.

    Why is the punchline before the start of the joke?

      Yes the microblogging quote function should have an option to appear at the top aswell as the at the bottom. Depending on context, top is more practical.

    Anyone else noticed there’s never a captcha for “Select all images that contain pedestrians”? Seems significant somehow.

      Man I’ve been getting a lot of the “images with cross walk” lately.

      First of all, why the fuck you care about classifying a cross walk in your dataset. It’s a damn computer - if it recognizes a hazard it shouldn’t take more than a couple of instructions to throw the brakes.

      Second, why the hell are you telling me I didn’t select all the images with cross walks? Clearly I can tell and your software can’t.

      The most annoying part is when you know that you clicked on every applicable image/square, but enough people didn’t click on one that it now tells you that you’re the one in the wrong.

      All I’m trying to do is save motorcyclists’ lives. I don’t care what anyone says, body extremities should be considered as part of the motorcycle. Last thing we need is self-driving cars clipping people’s arms because they don’t recognize it!

    It’s fun to imagine a self-driving car somewhere basing its decisions on the results of those captchas. “Come on, someone tell me where the traffic light is, I really need to know, like, now, this is important, hurry up!”

    Erratically selecting all images with the traffic lights. Otherwise they might think you are a robot.

    I understand that it’s not even the pictures that matter so much as how you move your mouse to select.

    But what about the tiny corner of the traffic signal in the other box? What about pedestrian crossing lights? Do they count? Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. It’s infuriating.

    I had “select all objects that are lighter than this” and the reference was a dog and I was supposed to pick tennis balls and not ships. This was new to me but I managed quite well
