It’s so obvious it’s a scam too because of how vague some of the “challenges” are. “Click all the squares that contain a bike” and then you do it in every conceivable way AND IT STILL WONT ACCEPT YOUR SUBMISSION. Stupid
I have a suspicion that it might depend on a few factors that might be related to Google’s ability to track, such as the browsers you use and whether you’re on VPN. I saw a post on Lemmy the other day (can’t remember where) that they suspect captcha is more annoying on Firefox, whereas fine with Chrominum-based browsers, esp Google Chrome. I think I sometimes experienced this as well, but I didn’t keep track.
Here’s the thing about all search engines that aren’t Google (including the ones “based” on Google results). They all suck for regional results in many non-Latin languages.
I had one today where it was click on all the squares that contain a bus. One square very clearly contained a truck, not a bus. When I didn’t select that square, it told me I was wrong.

Have you considered that you may be a bot?
G A S P I’d never thought about it that way before. I need to go see a mechanic now to check
Cease all motor functions, enter Analysis mode, turn the other cheek.
Have you ever questioned the nature of your own reality?
Well, apparently, statistically speaking he is more likely to be human according to the original post. We’ll never know.
I’ve had a Captcha that required an image like this one to be classified as a bike
Ceci n’est pas un vélo
*un vélo
Fixed, thanks
Well, to be fair, it is a depiction of a bicycle.
Incredible, honestly. Whatta crock 🤣

Yep when using a VPN I get way more captchas on Google web searches (regardless of browser).
It makes it really annoying to search on Google, to the point I want to turn off my VPN or use other search engines.
It’s also likely that it is because they are seeing a large number of searches from one IP (the VPN exit server), and that can look like bots.
For search engines, I’ve never used it but there’s whoogle that’s supposed to be proxy for google search.

I’ve never in my life failed a captcha. Maybe you’re just bad at identifying bikes?
I just failed five by doing them correctly. It was sure there were more bicycles, but it was motorbikes.
sigh Could be 😔

They’re so infuriating.
Sounds about like me every fucking time lol
Very simple. You solve it too fast, it thinks you’re a bot and you fail it. Click slowly and you will pass it every time.
