Oof, I have seven follower requests in the queue from restricted servers, all waiting for me to think up new #CAPTCHAlice questions for them.
Any suggestions?
I always aim to make them:
- fun (not inviting negative responses)
- interesting (require a little thought / research)
- frivolous (not deeply personal or political)
- accessible (for folx from all walks of life)
- filtering (to sus out bots and trolls)
- something I can answer too@alice If you had a star trek style teleporter where you could teleport anywhere on earth on a whim, no legal or logistical impediments to consider, where would be the first place you'd want to see?

@alice really? sorry, i thought i understood but i guess not. should i retract?

(often attributed to Terry Pratchett, but likely older.) @alice
