What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I'm human?

That's hardly the Turing Test I'd expected.

I have not been in a coma but....

I could possibly be the least aware person you've ever had a conversation with, digital or otherwise.

I used to have "weekends" that rotated to different two-day sets every year. One year I got Wednesday and Thursday. I told my wife, "It's not so bad. At least Thanksgiving falls on a Thursday this year. I checked." She looked at me and said, "Thanksgiving is on a Thursday every year." I was over thirty. Had no idea.

She's a very patient woman.
