"Forgot Password" Captcha Unnecessarily Hard

https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/64625

This is hilarious tbh. They make you solve five of these in a row and if you get any of them wrong or they think you took too long they make you solve another five, and so on, until you either get all of them right in the allotted time or give up.

It's literally impossible for a pair of dice to add up to 14 but go off lol

There are 4 dice in the pictures though

if one pair is impossible, what makes you think two is?

"bro u can't do that it's impossible"

"what if i try twice"

you're genuinely r-slurred


Give me your money and I'll annoy people with it :space: https://i.rdrama.net/images/16965516366194396.webp

Lmao you fricking r-slur.

It is possible for 4 dice to add up to 14, as shown in the captcha. You can even have two 6's and two 1's, which total 14.

I hope every this captcha is put in front of you anytime you try to eat something so you end up starving to death. Your brain is weighed down by fat.

A set of four dice is different than two sets of two. Rolling two sets of two to get 14 is impossible as the max is 12. use your head, r-slur :marseyeyeroll:

That's purely semantics, because the captcha is essentially asking in which picture do the dice total 14.

A single pair of dice cannot produce a 14, but since you are looking at four dice, stop being hung up on the grammar of some illiterate programmer and figure out the context.

That's purely semantics,

Yeah, and? that's what math is? good luck doing math without being specific. maybe you should try something more your speed like. I don't know. web development?

I'm realizing the brilliance of this captcha. It stops neurodivergents too.

More comments

There are two 6s and two 1s and they should be able to easily filter for that so the fault isn't the hard math or anything but the inability of a machinelearning model to actually learn in this case.

Everyone :marseynorm: who isn't neurodivergent :marseychadneuro: got what the ask in the captcha was and solved it.

I'm baffled at what they're trying to achieve here. An AI will either be right :marseyveryworriedtrans: or wrong :marseyakshually: but it won't take a long time.

hope that the bot's captcha solving service is on the other side of the world

Just push and update that if it solves it too fast then it's a bot and has to redo it

The whole point of being a programmer is having a PC do the math for you.

This is honestly way easier than google's image captchas on Tor, are there people who cannot count on the internet?

Seems like a prototypical diversity problem: the bros at github that designed the challenge couldn't find anyone in the room to whom the challenge wasn't obvious, easy and brilliant. :-)

This is exactly the sort of problem increased workplace diversity helps to solve, and it's a great argument for an expansive definition of diversity, which includes traditional measures such as race and gender, but also non-traditional measures, such as socioeconomic background, education, etc. (To wit: The best engineering team I've ever worked on was three computer science grads, two boot-camp grads with backgrounds in chemistry and sports medicine, respectively, and myself, with a degree in English lit but extensive industry experience. We all brought different things to the table, and we produced robust, maintainable services.)

Just what engineering needs. More people who can't do kindergarten level math in their heads.

Yeah after seeing what the pure engineering/cs grads will concoct on their own, I'm going to agree with them. They don't even seem to hire testers with any experience in the industry they design software for. Or maybe it's the autism that's to blame.

I mean, think about it moids: why should ANY woman worth her salt choose a pathetic weak m*Le over a strong GVLDEN RETRIEVER? The GVLDEN RETRIEVER doesn't worry about silly things like "red flags" and "children" and "boob size" and "weight"; They see a tight, wet opening, they stick their peepee in it, it feels good so they keep on going. They pound into your girlfriend with such force she is moaning, begging for more doggy peepee. She is darn near pissing herself, but the GVLDEN RETRIEVER doesn't stop. His knot swells. Your girlfriend, mind blanked by orgasmic bliss, is bound to the GOLDEN BVLL for up to an hour while his Chad knot shrinks down, and her vaginal muscles milk every drop of GVLDEN RETRIEVER spunk. She will never look at you the same way again. S*x doesn't feel the same. She is "tired" most nights, yet you can hear the whimpering and moans from the bathroom when she takes Sparky in the bathroom to "take a shit with company". She tells you to go in the other room and "jerk it or something". You are ashamed. You are weak. You are crushed. But she will never love you again. Sparky plays with his chew toy.

Her stomach is swelling. That is strange, you think, as you two haven't had s*x in about 4 months and you had just gotten a vasectomy, per /r/childfree advice. She tells you it's hormones, but you see the worry in her eyes, the fear lying behind her nonchalant expression. Fricking Sparky, looks up at you and almost smiles. The fricking MUTT, having the nerve to smile at you. In a time like this? Why are you so fricking angry at this dog? What did he do?

5 more months has passed. The "bump" on her stomach is huge now. You worry it may be a freak-case tumor or something of the like, but you now are pretty sure she cheated on you at some point. With who? When? But most importantly, why? Sparky looks at you again, but this time, his face is blank. He shits on the floor.

It is now obvious she's in labor. She decided against going to the hospital, for reasons you were unsure of. Probably read a Reddit post on tub births or something. In any case, she is in pain, and you are doing as much as you can to help her birth the baby, even though you just know it isn't yours. That's okay though. When you find out who the father is you will kill them. How could he do this to your girlfriend? Why did she let him? Where is he? What is his race? Is his peepee bigger tha-

The baby is born. Or, rather, 6 babies are born? They are... furry. And yellow. And their ears are quite large. Holy shit. The fricking dog. Sparky. They look just like him! Except, they have human characteristics. They are grotesque to look at, you are sick to your stomach. You want to scream, to cry, to beg her to kill them, but she doesn't. She isn't doing much of anything actually. Just staring at them, with cold, dead eyes. She holds two up to her swollen breasts. They suckle, and whimper. They are alive. Sparky shits on the floor.
