I just went to check my email, and for some reason, my password didn't work. I went through Fastmail's recovery process and got this captcha.

I'm so acclimated to a world where you can't repair anything, that I really did pause for a few seconds to make absolutely sure I knew what this meant. I mean, CAN you repair a drill? I've never heard of anyone doing anything other than replace a non-working drill. You can repair stuff WITH a drill (thus my pausing...).

A captcha where the command is to "select objects you can repair instead of replacing," and the 9 squares below each contain either sushi/rice, a fried egg, or a power drill.
