A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yeah, changing habits is more effective way to deal with these people.
How bad do you need this content? Do you need all of it?
Use a normie browser when needed for this shiti services if you must.
They are waging a war on the working class. This is just an example of them clapping back when some pedon wants to reclaim his autonomy.
Whenever I find an obnoxious captcha, I just leave the page after two failed attempt (not really failed, but you know how it is, the system decides that you have to repeat the captcha again).
The problem is with certain services (like GoG) that I've had for years but that lately don't want VPNs because reasons and will keep forcing the captchas indefinitely even when I'm login or redeeming a game. Those are the worst, and honestly? They are only harming themselves with them. I don't buy from them anymore because last time I wanted to login to buy something, I had to go through a least 20 captchas just to login (and, of course, the audio captcha wouldn't work because that would make me "skip" the whole ordeal). After that I decided to go to gog only if there is a game that they are giving away and I really want.
