Don’t know how to post the boomerang, but passed everything else (I think) as a 20 year old gen z
As an elder millennial I also did not get that one.
I am a younger millennial, and I’ve literally never heard of a boomerang in this context in my life.
I still don’t know what a boomerang is or was, but I guess I clicked the right button, so I didn’t miss any of them.
A boomerang is a clip that plays and rewinds in a loop, like it’s flying to the end of the clip and returning like a boomerang.
I don’t even use Instagram myself, why do I know this
I know this because of my younger cousin, I had no idea how to post one but it seems like either of the bottom two buttons will work
I think the point of that one is that millennials post to their friends, not to their stories.
I’ve never posted to instagram as a millennial. I think that by the time something that wasn’t Facebook came around we learned that posting photos of ourselves online maybe wasn’t smart
And then you have Gen Z who are doing [insert Elmo snorting coke meme]
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.
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.

Not as hard as you think. Stopping is not the problem. Stopping and still having fun is.
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!
You must be. It literally tells you what to do. Of course, I assumed proper grammar and got it wrong the first time.

More of a Simple Simon Says… really

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
My genX ass was trying skibidi on its own cause most of the rest of the text is usually auto-suggested while typing in the search terms.
This needs at least one flash game to be accurate
Navigate to Strong Bad’s e-mail [Verify]
The autocomplete for the second one gets vicious.
Oh! I just copy pasted from the question.
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.
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.
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.
Also, were millennials into Different Strokes? Because I didn’t know a single person who watched that show. It ran from '78-86, a time when millennials were either non-existent or just being born (1981+). There’s a whole paragraph about it, and I feel like the author either had a unique experience growing up or thinks that’s what millennials were into.
The Nokia got me, but only because it was hard to read, and I was expecting T9 mode. Manually typing each letter was only around for a couple years before T9 changed everything.
*American captcha
(Or westerner captcha, cuz I have no idea)
American, with that celebrity at the beginning
The names for each generation are American based definitions, after all
That was quite fun XD
They really put some work into this

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.
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
If this was a real Captcha, it’d be timed too. They probably track individual clicks, even, although I haven’t actually checked.
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
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
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 kinda remembered the spinny scroll thing, but I still don’t really get anything else. I am supposed to be older than you.
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.
Am I the only person in my generation who never learned to type on a number pad? It wasn’t the only thing I didn’t recognize from the “test”, but it stuck out to me.
What’s odd is I instantly recognized how to type on that type of phone, but I’m from roughly gen Z.
