We are familiar with the term "gaslighting," where a nefarious character tries to convince a victim that they are going insane. In this story, the poor fellow who can't pass a Captcha test starts to think he's losing his mind. Those things can be quite maddening at times to the point you suspect they were designed by robots who have no idea what they're doing. But his co-workers seize the opportunity to convince him that he's not insane; he's actually a robot and never realized it before! Their methods are horrifyingly clever. Surely, you recall the moment you were born, don't you?
You can almost see this guy seeing his therapist afterward, with a story so weird that he might be referred for psychiatric tests. The more likely result is that his therapist would get a good laugh out if it. Yeah, as if someone working at Tech Town could afford to see a therapist. This nonsense comes to you from Viva La Dirt League.
The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they aren't a robot.

I've gotten to the point where if a site hits me with a captcha I just browse somewhere else or find another computer/browser. I'm not clicking any more crosswalks.
