Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella not a bicycle!” And wiggle the mouse randomly a bit as if Im double-checking my work even when I know damn well I got all the bicycles in 0.67 seconds.

Basically I feel like I have to act dumb so the internet doesn’t think I’m a bot. DAE get this?

    These CAPTCHAs do more than just check if you clicked the right pictures. They analyze your mouse movements and stuff. For example, a bot would move the mouse in perfectly straight lines, click all the pictures quickly, etc. But a human would have more natural movements.

      Thats what Im on about. If they would do what youre saying, captcha wouldnt fail just because of clicking fast.
