I’m getting really tired of “verify you’re not a bot” checks everywhere.

I understand these checks help prevent bots, but they seem to appear on so many websites now. Does anyone else find them frustrating?

Minor nit-picky correction: She’s a jackal, not a cat. So she’s technically more like a foxgirl, instead of a catgirl.

Because Anubis is the jackal-headed Egyptian god that weighs your guilt at the end of your life. And if your guilt weighs less than a feather, you’re allowed to enter the Egyptian equivalent of heaven.

The reference being that the service is “weighing” the users, and only allowing the guilt-free ones (humans) to access heaven (the site).
