CAPTCHA stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart." Basically, it’s a way for websites to check if you’re a real person or a bot.

The "click all the buses" or "type the squiggly letters" things are annoying, but they stop bots from spamming sites or creating fake accounts.

If you hate CAPTCHAs, try using a password manager like Bitwarden—some sites recognize trusted logins and skip the CAPTCHA.

But yeah, some are way too hard. Like, is that a traffic light or a street lamp? 😤
