A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Some fifteen year old nerd: "I got this"

Could you use another bot to solve that bot's test?

We already have the reverse, where automated spam tools outsource to humans to beat the captchas: https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/technology/26captcha.html

They would have to make a captcha that only a select group of bots can solve

It'll be bots all the way down...

Which of the following would you most prefer? A: a puppy, B: a pretty flower from your sweetie, or C: a large properly formatted data file?

Uh, is the puppy mechanical in any way?

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago

No, it is the bad kind of puppy!

That's pretty much what DRM does, keeping us out of the inner working of stuff

I have enough trouble finding all the bicycles in the photos, they wouldn’t need to change much

I've used captchas before, this already happens :(

Which would you prefer:

  • A large, properly formatted data file.
  • A flower for your sweetie.
  • A puppy.

Edit: didn't see that someone else had already beat me to it!
