Fun fact, if recaptcha experiences any error it just feeds you more captchas forever.
You’re better off refreshing after you complete one and aren’t authenticated.

Another fun fact: most captchas, including recaptcha, are used to train AI. Some of the puzzle it will know the solution to (which is what it uses to verify that you're not a bot), and the rest it won't know the solution to and uses it to train AI. If you train your eye a bit you can eventually make pretty good guesses as to which part is which, and then go on to give the AI training part of the captcha wrong answers. There's something satisfying to knowingly giving the captcha a wrong answer and get the green check mark anyway, pointing a middle finger at the people who thought they could get free AI training from you.
