Seems remarkably similar to [https://xkcd.com/1897/ this comic]. Is he running out of ideas? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.146.166|162.158.146.166]] 00:33, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
: I don't see much connection, other than them both being about CAPTCHAs.--[[User:GoldNinja|GoldNinja]] ([[User talk:GoldNinja|talk]]) 00:54, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
::agree GoldNinja the first is about captchas getting freework done, the second is about that work having potentially malicious consequences [[User:Boatster|Boatster]] ([[User talk:Boatster|talk]]) 04:50, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
:::I agree that Randall uses a similar idea, but he uses it in two very different scenarios. The first is a bit scary as it relies on somopne using this captcha before the cat crashes, but this comic is much more sinister, especially the title text. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 09:10, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
::::I see you're using the car --> cat browser script ([[1288]])... I approve.

A note: [[2227]] isn't connecting to [[2228]] via the Next button; has this happened before? --[[User:Account|Account]] ([[User talk:Account|talk]]) 01:20, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
:Fixed now.--[[User:Account|Account]] ([[User talk:Account|talk]]) 02:49, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Why is this comic listed as a Thursday comic? Isn't it Wednesday in Boston?--[[User:Account|Account]] ([[User talk:Account|talk]]) 02:49, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
:Yes. I don't know what time the comic was uploaded, but right now it is 10:34 PM Wednesday in Boston. I changed the date of the comic to today instead of tomorrow. [[User:Mathmannix|Mathmannix]] ([[User talk:Mathmannix|talk]]) 03:34, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
:: Well, this site uses UTC time (something I somewhat disagree with, since I think it's a time zone that lands in the middle of the ocean, LOL! But clearly to be fair to people in different time zones, so I can't argue it as being the best choice), so maybe our site got it late enough that in UTC it was already Thursday?

I think the upper right picture looks like a cave, but maybe too angular to be natural; maybe a bomb shelter or something like that where those pesky humans might actually try to hide? [[User:Mathmannix|Mathmannix]] ([[User talk:Mathmannix|talk]]) 03:40, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
:I was thinking a bomb shelter or bunker as well [[Special:Contributions/108.162.212.173|108.162.212.173]] 03:44, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
::That sounds about right; just made it official on the transcript. --[[User:Account|Account]] ([[User talk:Account|talk]]) 04:49, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
::: Bomb shelter or looks more like one of those hanger-in-a-hill things you see in movies. To paraphrase Star Wars, That's no cave. :) [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 04:33, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

I wonder if the section on the text case used for CAPTCHA should be moved to a trivia section, since the differences between here and xkcd.com is simply related to standard comic title convention and the font styles applied on each site.

:I agree with that-- or perhaps it should simply be ignored; after all, this wasn't mentioned in KSP 2.--[[User:Account|Account]] ([[User talk:Account|talk]]) 16:23, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
:: I indeed find it a rather petty and pedantic point. I really doubt Randall took his all-caps font into consideration, he simply wrote it technically incorrect (it's just a coincidence that the font makes it look almost normal). In the end it's quite common to write an acronym like a word, without capitalization: Scuba, laser, taser, gif, lol (and its variants), etc. Count me as another vote for a Trivia section, it's a nice note to make, but barely worth noting.
