This needs at least one flash game to be accurate

    Skibidi toilet? As a 39-yr old millennial, I'm aware that was a thing like a year ago, but I assumed it was a Zoomer meme or something. I can't get past that captcha.

    EDIT: Upon looking at it again, I see it just wants me to type in "what is skibidi toilet" into Google, not answer what it is. Ugh, I'm turning into my Silent Generation/Boomer parents.

    Skibidi toilet is actually one of the first gen alpha memes, not gen z.

    Oh damn, I'm starting on the Boomer habit of complaining about Zoomer culture when it's actually Alpha culture.

    It feels like yesterday, Boomers were complaining about how annoying millennial kids were, when we were actually adults in our 20s/30s at the time. I'm just realizing that was over a decade ago, and now I'm doing the same thing to Zoomers. Someone please stop time before I get any older; I want to get off.

    Yeah, maybe the m CAPTCHA developers only wanted to share nostalgic memories of Google search results without ads. EDIT : let me fact check before I've written a lot of nonsense. Yes, seems fair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials

    Ha! It took me a minute too to realize that having to google WTF a skibidi toilet is was the Millennial test, not being expected to know it.

    Finally, a sterotype of "millennial" that recognizes we kinda be old now!

    Easy Gen X pass. I actually think Gen X would be able to pass all generational captchas. We're the first "microchip" generation and have generally kept up and lived through most of the tech fads and changes.

    This was easy but have no idea what a boomerang is but I don't use Instagram. I never owned an ipod but they are easy to use.

    The iPod was throwing me until they blew me away by actually making it so I have to spin my finger on the pad. If I hadn't been on mobile idk if I ever would've got past thinking "Did he fucking feature with someone? I don't fucking listen to Sufjan Stevens..."

    I was a little lost until the iPod and the t9 showed up, then it was almost scary how normal it all felt. I didn't even realize I still remembered t9 but I didn't even have to think.

    Don't know how to post the boomerang, but passed everything else (I think) as a 20 year old gen z

    I'm a zoomer, this was actually kinda hard. Especially the iPod and the select some guy ones. Would definitely keep me away from millennial only sites unless I REALLY wanted in. Nowadays I get annoyed at sites that even still use a captcha, cloudflare at least got rid of the kind where people fail at.

    I'm a zoomer and honestly I had no problems with it. I only failed the Michael Cera one because I didn't notice one of the images had a secret hidden Michael Cera

    As a late Gen X, I was completely lost. So, I guess it’s official: I don’t get your generation.

    I guess sending something BACK, so I hit the "your story" button. Don't even know which app that was supposed to be.

    Boomerang was an old feature on Instagram where it would just take a video and then loop it backwards when it reached the end. It was a really stupid phenomenon that nobody really used, hence the reason the got rid of it.

    The autocomplete for the second one gets vicious.

    I had absolutely no trouble until a slight delay on the iPod but had to give up a little later as my elder millennial ass forgot how to type on an old school Nokia 😄

    The iPod got me. Never had one. Never had a friend who did. This could be a Gen X experience or a cash-poor Millennial experience. If it hadn't been for the hint I would not have got past that part.

    I also didn't have that particular Nokia so it took me a moment to figure out which button deleted mistakes. Mistakenly thinking that the CAPTCHA designers might not have implemented that part of the interface didn't help.

    Had to guess on the boomerang. I've seen boomerangs but didn't know that's what they're called nor have I ever posted one. Again, this could be an "I don't post on that platform" or an "I only post pictures and haven't used that feature" experience. I definitely have an account on at least one platform that hosts them though.

    I am technically not a Millennial. The term for my cohort is Xennial, I believe.

    I've never heard of a "boomerang" that wasn't referring to the Australian tool/toy. I totally guessed on that one too. I don't post videos to any social media platform, so I was totally out of the loop on that one.

    23yo zoomer here. Like everyone else, I was stuck on the Michael Cera one for a while, but it was because I never heard of the guy and even after googling I didn't realise he was in one of the other photos.

    Gosh texting on the Nokia felt so normal and equally a nice reminder on how nice the mobile keyboards we have now are.

    I've never heard of a boomerang, the comments here filled me in but I'm not an Instagram user.

    The iPod was fucking magical by the way, always wanted one as a kid growing up, even begging my parents just for the nano but they didn't see the value in that compared to the cheap knockoff MP4 players. I still want one nowadays but they're all stupid expensive.

    I don't understand the Michael Cera one. I got passed it but I'm still convinced there are only 3 pictures with him in it. That picture quality is atrocious.
