    Speaking of ancient memes I showed this to my teen the other day and they didn’t even begin to understand.

      Hmm, wired earbuds (RIP) and the phone with buttons dates it a bit, but captchas are still around (and infidelity). Although, I’m seeing less and less of the distorted text kind these days.

        I haven’t seen a captcha like that in years and my teen didn’t even understand it as a captcha at all. If you’re still seeing those I’m definitely curious where.

          Uhh, I’m thinking I’ve had to fill them out to read scientific papers at some point recently. Maybe other more web 1.0 type pages, although most of them are moving over to the Cloudflare JavaScript checkbox service.
