gollark: You could probably ask users to solve small maths problems or something.
gollark: No idea, but I would prefer not to:- probably undergo stupid amounts of profiling by Google- help unpaid with their self-driving car projects- end up having to do it several times because it hates me
gollark: I hate the google captchas. Why is it that EVERYTHING has to use them?
