Does warmer mean temperature? Color? Something else?

    The nuance is the entire point of the CAPTCHA. It’s not really hard to go “inside warmer than snowy outside” but I imagine whole groups of neurodivergent people will be getting locked out by these.

      Warm could also translate to “cozy” or overall “hue”. Neither would necessarily pick the indoor photos. I don’t think you need to be neurodivergent to be confused, maybe just a little more artistically minded.

        Well, if you misinterpret this question, you’ll probably get the next one. The important thing about these is that you shouldn’t overthink them, they’re not worth the mental effort and they don’t expect serious dedication from you anyway.

          It’s pretty frustrating when you need to do something relatively quickly and you get a captcha and get it “wrong” like 8 times because of this kind of bs. Especially annoying when you get captchas multiple times. It’s just wasting my time, I don’t have the patience for that shit.

        Plus, there’s no way to know what the indoor temperature is. There may be no heating in the houses.

      Am neurodivergent, didn’t even occur to me they’d be talking about snow vs indoors. I thought because it is a visual test they meant color temp which for me registered as the middle left, center bottom, and maybe an argument for bottom right.

        I thought the same thing. Was looking for the overall color temperature of the scene, but none really fit.

        I can see why you would interpret it that way, and maybe my interpretation is wrong. Either way, you can just try whatever and continue.

        If you want to skip most of these on iOS/macOS, you can use Safari which has Privacy Pass built in. I think the Privacy Pass addon is no longer supported, so for other platforms we’ll have to suffer through these vague questions until something else (and probably worse) is implemented cross-browser.

      Thanks for reminding me of my neurodivergence, I couldn’t figure it out either.

      I was starting to think “ok this one looks lit and cozy, and how am I supposed to tell how well insulated these houses are?”
