    Skibidi toilet? As a 39-yr old millennial, I’m aware that was a thing like a year ago, but I assumed it was a Zoomer meme or something. I can’t get past that captcha.

    EDIT: Upon looking at it again, I see it just wants me to type in “what is skibidi toilet” into Google, not answer what it is. Ugh, I’m turning into my Silent Generation/Boomer parents.

      Yeah, maybe the m CAPTCHA developers only wanted to share nostalgic memories of Google search results without ads. EDIT : let me fact check before I’ve written a lot of nonsense. Yes, seems fair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials

      Ha! It took me a minute too to realize that having to google WTF a skibidi toilet is was the Millennial test, not being expected to know it.

      Finally, a sterotype of “millennial” that recognizes we kinda be old now!

        Oh damn, I’m starting on the Boomer habit of complaining about Zoomer culture when it’s actually Alpha culture.

        It feels like yesterday, Boomers were complaining about how annoying millennial kids were, when we were actually adults in our 20s/30s at the time. I’m just realizing that was over a decade ago, and now I’m doing the same thing to Zoomers. Someone please stop time before I get any older; I want to get off.

      You must be. It literally tells you what to do. Of course, I assumed proper grammar and got it wrong the first time.

      My genX ass was trying skibidi on its own cause most of the rest of the text is usually auto-suggested while typing in the search terms.

      Easy Gen X pass. I actually think Gen X would be able to pass all generational captchas. We’re the first “microchip” generation and have generally kept up and lived through most of the tech fads and changes.

          Yes unfortunately some were hit too many times with the stupid stick as a form of child rearing. The rest of us learnt to code BASIC to pass the time as latchkey kids.

        Same, but only because I didn’t expect the website to support the real interaction modality

        I’ve never posted to instagram as a millennial. I think that by the time something that wasn’t Facebook came around we learned that posting photos of ourselves online maybe wasn’t smart

      I still don’t know what a boomerang is or was, but I guess I clicked the right button, so I didn’t miss any of them.

        A boomerang is a clip that plays and rewinds in a loop, like it’s flying to the end of the clip and returning like a boomerang.

        I don’t even use Instagram myself, why do I know this

    I was a little lost until the iPod and the t9 showed up, then it was almost scary how normal it all felt. I didn’t even realize I still remembered t9 but I didn’t even have to think.

    How TF does it expect me to identify a person? I’m bad at identifying people I didn’t even know who it was. Had to keep trying random combinations. Rest were easy enough though. For the texting one, I kept trying the options button before realising I had to press verify.

    As a late Gen X, I was completely lost. So, I guess it’s official: I don’t get your generation.

    I’m a zoomer, this was actually kinda hard. Especially the iPod and the select some guy ones. Would definitely keep me away from millennial only sites unless I REALLY wanted in. Nowadays I get annoyed at sites that even still use a captcha, cloudflare at least got rid of the kind where people fail at.

      If this was a real Captcha, it’d be timed too. They probably track individual clicks, even, although I haven’t actually checked.

      As a millennial who doesn’t keep up with celebrities and Insta, I had problems with those two

      T9 a little, but that’s because I expected it to predict my text, as in typing 43556 for “hello” instead of 4433555 … 666

      I’m a zoomer and honestly I had no problems with it. I only failed the Michael Cera one because I didn’t notice one of the images had a secret hidden Michael Cera

    I had absolutely no trouble until a slight delay on the iPod but had to give up a little later as my elder millennial ass forgot how to type on an old school Nokia 😄

      The iPod was throwing me until they blew me away by actually making it so I have to spin my finger on the pad. If I hadn’t been on mobile idk if I ever would’ve got past thinking “Did he fucking feature with someone? I don’t fucking listen to Sufjan Stevens…”

        yeah, they should’ve picked a more common artist. i thought it was a trick about knowing the lead singer of a band at first.

            I think the issue is that it’s not also millenial-universal. If only some millenials know it, the rest of us is left out.

            I can still operate the iPod though, so I don’t need to know who it is to look for and select.

      No idea what a boomerang is either, but I assumed the joke was the instinct to only post to close friends.
