Does anyone else act more 'human' when solving captchas? - eviltoast

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?

    I think it’s an accessibility option, visual captchas should have a way to get to that alternative. Otherwise visually impaired people would just be screwed.
