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.
No idea what a boomerang is either, but I assumed the joke was the instinct to only post to close friends.
I pressed Your Story and it worked just as well.
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…”
yeah, they should’ve picked a more common artist. i thought it was a trick about knowing the lead singer of a band at first.
I would say they picked a pretty millennial specific artist.
I think the issue is that it’s not also millenial-universal. If only some millenials know it, the rest of us is left out.
I can still operate the iPod though, so I don’t need to know who it is to look for and select.
Really? I have no idea who that artist is. Is it someone I’ve just forgotten about from when we were younger?
I wasn’t able to get past the donate to Obama phase.
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 just picked the guy in more than one picture, haha.
The iPod was fucking brutal. I kind remembered the spinny scroll thing, but I still don’t really get anything else. I am supposed to be older than you.
As a late Gen X, I was completely lost. So, I guess it’s official: I don’t get your generation.
It’s kinda weird being close to X in age and so far away culturally.
If you can’t T9 we can’t accept you.
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
It’s a terrible introduction. Should’ve been half-and-half Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg.
If this was a real Captcha, it’d be timed too. They probably track individual clicks, even, although I haven’t actually checked.
As a millennial who doesn’t keep up with celebrities and Insta, I had problems with those two
T9 a little, but that’s because I expected it to predict my text, as in typing 43556 for “hello” instead of 4433555 … 666
That was quite fun XD

They really put some work into this
I passed it first try as a zoomer

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.
Half of you are like this, the other are Boomer-like in their tech abilities
Yes unfortunately some were hit too many times with the stupid stick as a form of child rearing. The rest of us learnt to code BASIC to pass the time as latchkey kids.
Can you fail?
Same.
I had the most trouble with the iPod.
Same, but only because I didn’t expect the website to support the real interaction modality
This is art and I love it lol
Just because I still like the postal service doesn’t make me old. Ok the fact that I could’ve been referring to the band or the government agency and still been accurate might mean I’m old
Now I wanna see if I fail other generational Captchas!
I got to step 3 and it said Post the Boomerang? What the hell does that mean?
Exactly, a millennial has now clue about the newfangled kids stuff. Just hit “close friends”
I guess sending something BACK, so I got 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.
A boomerang is a short video that runs forwards, then backwards, then repeats. The post was already a boomerang, so you just needed to click share.
Yeah, a lot of these were lessened because the task was easy without any knowledge. I like the iPod one because the UX would be unfamiliar to someone who didn’t use it. But things like “Type {phrase} into the search box” are really just a lame way to make a reference.
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.
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 😄
I was sure that one had t9 so it took me sec too!
Yea, I’m sorry but what’s this iPod thing… can’t I get an MP3 CD player?
Or, even better, an off-brand Discman 😄

Yeah, I was already in my late teens when I got my first phone lol, I have no doubt you benefitted from learning young compared to me lol
How TF does it expect me to identify a person? I’m bad at identifying people I didn’t even know who it was. Had to keep trying random combinations. Rest were easy enough though. For the texting one, I kept trying the options button before realising I had to press verify.
Non millennial here for the rest of ya https://youtu.be/J---aiyznGQ
