Do you hate CAPTCHAs when trying to buy an IRK?
7For those of you who joined meh after April 1, 2016 yet you complain about that damn single CAPTCHA, I know exactly how to make you feel better. Let’s venture back in time to that particular April Fools Day and see what it took to buy what was at that time the Fukobukuro. And for those that were here for that particularly interesting event, sorry to bring back the memories. Have fun! (Click the pic)

Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
I loved that one.
I cackled as I got the first Fuko I had ever gotten
I liked the one the next year that gave you the quiz over on morning save too
Come on meh, make em harder, then I can do 'em
iT is the easy ones that are a bitch
@Cerridwyn Tis true. The ones that make you truly work for it are generally easier to get since they stay available so much longer. But I guess they also tend to discourage people who just aren’t very good at figuring out those challenges. But eh, fuck 'em. It’s a goat eat goat world.
@cinoclav
was looking to see the goat eat goat image.
I was disappointed

I don’t get the picture ones. I only get the robot one. As long as you are patient and wait for the checkmark it’s not so bad. If you click on it too quick you are going to get the robot message.
@mfladd A benefit of VMP?
@Kyser_Soze @mfladd No. It was asked at the time (I think by me) if they could control how the CAPTCHAs came up for people. They could not.
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@Kyser_Soze No, someone one time said it had to do with Google and whether or not you are verified. I am not sure.
@Kyser_Soze @mfladd I didn’t get them for ages. Then it has all of a sudden started up again. Haven’t done anything different, haven’t updated anything, signed in or out of anything…
I remember that day and I was not successful. I was trying to do it with my cell phone

I thought the site was broken at first and waited around like a dummy for it to be fixed. By the time I caught on to what was going on in the threads and finally finished all the images, it was too late.

I was talking to my brother about this last night – I ended up getting one without issue. I miss the April Fool’s shenanigans
Happy day…fools. Humans are weird.
I realize I much prefer the CAPTCHAs that are a single gridded picture vs. those that are a melange of photos.
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.

I’ve never had luck getting an IRK/Fukubukuro on my mobile phone or ipad, but on my desktop it goes OK.
Yes. And I don’t know why it’s necessary. I can buy stuff on other sites without it and I don’t think it’s busting their security.
