It’s Telling Me I’m Not Human

captcha

I read it and it said: spell coffee backwards.

So with blazing fingers I typed s-d-r-a-w-k-c-a-b.

Sorry, your CAPTCHA response was incorrect. Please try again.

So I tried again, a little slower this time to make sure I got it all right, s-d-r-a-w-k-c-a-b. Sorry, your CAPTCHA response was incorrect. Please try again.

(Of course you might have figured out from the start what’s wrong). But for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what’s wrong. Where could my mistake be? Then I read it again - a minute for every word.

Spell. coffee. backwards.

Ha! Captcha boo-cha! I couldn’t believe it! I couldn’t believe I made a mistake. I failed a simple test that determines if a user is human or not! So it seems like I do not have a human mind!

Me = humanoid.

*scratch head* scratch thigh*scratch* scratch*scratch*

I really don’t want to admit this. I cannot be sure I am human now. I have proof that says otherwise. Me, not human. Good God help me! I must be a humanoid. An exceptionally made humanoid. One that exactly looks, thinks and feels like a human. Perfect humanoid! Imagine, even my reproductive system is made to perfection that I am able to bear a child (and that could be plural in the future).

So now you really should call me Mama Mejoid. Because I prefer that than being called plain toopid.

A captcha stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. It is a program that protects websites against bots by generating and grading tests that humans can pass but current computer programs cannot. For example, humans can read distorted text but current computer programs can’t.

    That is almost as bad as me asking my mum the other day “what does colour red on the washing machine mean?” I was baffled, do you just put red clothes in on that cycle? I mean how silly is that, it can’t mean that! My mum looked at me like I was joking and then said “it’s coloured” - what a dimbo did I feel! I don’t know where the extra r that i could see that wasn’t really there came from!!!!!!! da eerrrrr ;o)

    That is very funny! LOL! From the beginning of your post I was trying to figure out why you were spelling “backwards” and not “coffee”!

    That is too funny! Love it! I get those captcha things wrong all the time too, because I am trying to go so fast that I’m not reading carefully.
