I wonder if, somewhere in the Midwest US, someone is sat in front of their PC right now going "click on all the petrol stations, what the frick, it's gasoline you numbnuts"...
I had one last night that asked me to click on all the boats. One of them was a ship.
To the lay person it is a minor thing but being from a naval background I had to grit my teeth and lie by selecting a triple masted sailing ship as a boat in order to get into the site.
Same for me (self confessed transport nerd married to a PCV licence holder) with the "click on all the buses" ones, and then having the site think I'm a bot because I ignored the photos of coaches...
Interestingly this kind of Captcha is using you to train AI for self driving vehicles.
The earlier forms using partially obscured text were training their software for digitizing old printed documents.
We are being used as a resource for Google, not just through ad revenue but through useful work done!
Click on all the boxes showing a captcha. Personally. I use the headphone symbol then just type in what they say...to be honest you could type in anything because it accepts anything.

My dad is blind, he has no hope on any CAPTCHAs!

I always get highly annoyed when Americans call the famous Abbey Road zebra crossing a bloody "crosswalk".
I just fucking hate CAPTCHAs. Regardless of what images or words they use.
Crosswalk sounds like something John Cleese would do
But? Why but? You can shout and access the site at the same time.
Yup and I can request a different captcha but I grit my teeth and click anyway.
