        Welcome to the fold. First rule of 🍑 🔑: claim territory, and keep the isekai clan off our turf.

        They give you trouble, you call me, captchisce? 🤌

            I was trying to combine Captcha with Capisce (pronounced capeesh, like an italian mobster) as a joke, but I’m not sure it landed 😅

      That’s the only way I’ve ever heard it pronounced in actual speech. Of course, the only times I have heard people talking about it IRL is in CS classes and the like. I don’t know many tech nerds IRL to have conversations about computer standards with.
