The fuk? Please help me complete this insane captcha

Fridge fridge hamburger truck truck... ??? What's the blue thing? I thought hamburger would be the answer, but it isn't? I just get the same captcha with the hamburger in a different place. WTAF is happening? And what's the blue thing? I answer and it refreshes with the same icons in different places. I AM HUMAN!

You can’t even see what brand the fridge is! What a stupid captcha.

If it’s a Samsung it’s definitely the one with the shortest lifespan.
- beat me to it.
- LG is the king of shitting out its own compressor
  
  LG is the king of shitting out its own everything. You ever seen a TV that's unrecoverably blue tinted? It's an LG. Smartphone business? Dead.
Just ask ChatGPT; it's better than humans at proving its humanity with these stupid things.
- I wouldn't be so sure, I asked bing:
  
  Based on the whimsical nature of the objects described in the image, it's a bit challenging to determine the shortest lifespan as they are not typical living organisms. However, if we consider the objects metaphorically, the burger-shaped car might represent a food item, which typically has a shorter lifespan due to its perishable nature. In contrast, vehicles and cameras usually have longer lifespans as they are non-perishable goods. So, in the context of the CAPTCHA, you might consider selecting the burger-shaped car as the object with the shortest lifespan. Remember, CAPTCHAs can be subjective, and the correct answer may vary depending on the specific logic programmed into the test.
  
  w/no prompt, GPT-4o:
  
  To complete this CAPTCHA challenge, click on the hamburger in the image. Among the objects shown, the hamburger has the shortest lifespan.
  
  I mean I would have picked the burger
- Right? The captchas are getting ridiculous to the point that solving them means you're not human. Because human would get fed up with this shit and leave
  
  I got fed up with this shit and left. That should prove I'm human.
Just try the audio!

Type the numbers you hear:

Ludicrous mode every single time, feel so bad for the vision impaired
I guess this proves OP is a bot! Mods ban this account
Oh, I see your mistake. Those are Samsung fridges. Nothing has a shorter lifespan than a Samsung fridge. Since there are two they will die together to maximize the inconvenience factor, and they thus must be clicked simultaneously. That is the only way a fake Samsung fridge could mimic the frustration caused by a real one.
Had a similar one the other day trying to log into Microsoft to play sea of thieves

It say "please click on the object that's similar to the following silhouette's"

It apperantly was th robo head or whatever that is
- but to be fair, is it really a captcha if it doesn't give you nightmares?
  
  They're going to start using Voight-Kampff tests soon I bet.
With the lack of moisture and high sodium, the hamburger is immortal; the fridge will suffer a circuit board failure when the power goes out; and those trucks are designed to be planned obsolete in 5 years

So hell if I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- You think commercial trucks are planned to be obsolete after 5 years? Are you a failed captcha guessing bot? You'll have to like triple that number.
  
  Thanks. I’m aware of the actual lifespan.
  
  /s
  
  I must have dropped that…
Ugh, Rockstar and Blizzard have these super insane captchas where you have to solve puzzles 20 times in a fucking row without making a single mistake. They show the answer and then you have to flip through 6 images and choose the correct image matching the answer. Times 20! I just wanted to play GTA5, just gave up. Wasn't worth my time because it kept failing.
- I ragequit the puzzles on the rockstar captcha. Incredibly infuriating. I was reminded of the famous greentext from way back predicting we'd have to drink a verification can of mountain dew and for a moment that seemed less insane than the reality of these impossible puzzles. Had to get someone to help me solve them after cooling off for a moment.
  
  I actually haven't bothered anymore since that one evening. I haven't played GTA 5 in years and wanted to play the story a bit, but if this is how it is, then they can take their captchas and shove them in sideways.
I AM HUMAN!

I hate to be the one to break it to you friend but neither of us are.

I would have picked the burger as well.
- It looks like a Maccas burger. Famously long-lived.
Wouldn't you like to know, robo-boy
Well, this is actually the easy mode. On hard you see lettuce next to a politician's face.
Captchas today are completely obsolete to avoid bots, more now with AI, since years and are just simple click ads from different companies since no one clicks on banner ads anymore. A simple Honeypot system or, as they do in some forums, waiting half an hour before sending the email with the account code, are much more efficient to avoid bots, without pissing off the user.
I don't mind captchas if there were 1-3 of them only. Try connecting via vpn or tor, you get stuck with 30+ captchas one after another going in loop even if you kept answering them all correctly they keep on coming: select truck, select bike, select cum... holymoly fucking shit bro
- One thing that helps for google's captcha is to leave the browser tab alone for a while, while you go do something else, then later come back and click the checkmark field. It will then not open a captcha window but will just proceed.
We need laws against AI torturing people with this shit. Now it's just playing with us.
It is the burger, I've had this one a few times today and it was always the burger. Maybe you have something else going on, sometimes adblockers break them. Whether intentionally or not, who knows.
- But the cow might have lived longer than the fridge
Well clearly it's the truck. If you don't eat that truck right away, it's gonna spoil.
It probably should be burger. But that seems like a trick since I've never seen a burger referred to having a "lifespan"
That one gives you two "challenges".

I got that same one and as I moved to the burger I thought "is that fridge a Samsung though?"
- Man, Samsung/LG have a horrible reputations when it comes to appliances. I hope it was worth the extra $3.50 they made by making disposable thrash and calling it planned obsolescence.
- If one of those trucks gets into an accident whilst trying to deliver the hamburgers, nobody's going to eat the hamburgers. So the hamburgers outlive the trucks. The Samsung smart fridge will definitely outlive the hamburgers and the trucks.
  
  It has to be some weird logic like tht because I literally cannot get beyond this captcha. I've tried all the things, and it just rearranges the hamburgers, fridges, and trucks every time. I'm not sure I'm actually human anymore, but I'm becoming certain this software just doesn't want any more users.
Did you solve it? It looks as if it's generated. I would guess it's the lower fridge in case the items are supposed to be falling and the fridge will be the first one to hit the floor.

  wut.
Weird, they don't have "My most recent attempt at a 401(k)" in there...
Nice try, robot!
Can I click on me?
Where did you find this? I'm intrigued by novel captchas.
- Looks like hCaptcha IMHO
There is an automatic captcha solver that works off of the audio prompt, not sure what it's called though
I think it might be a can of food.
