A very Meh game for Monday Morning
4There’s a contest to see who can get the most clicks on a link. Yeah, that’s it. Here’s a link with Meh on it if you’re interested:

I got a couple hundred in before my wrist started to hurt. I’ll try again later.
Just cracked the top 1000. The secret is probably to hover in the top ten or twenty, since being number one immediately gets a bunch of negatives.
What happens if meh gets to the top?
@RiotDemon People start clicking the red negative button to knock us out of first.
The link no longer works to assist meh.
@RiotDemon Wow, that’s weird. Won’t let me create a new one with the same username either. I also just tried creating a new one with a new username and it broke, so maybe there’s just overload.
@dave nooooo.
@RiotDemon Yeah, even clicking the leaderboard people just re-forwards to the home page, so my guess is it’s all broken right now but may start working again soon.
@RiotDemon Ah, it’s back to working now.
It is back up, I clicked a few hundred
I win.
No worries, I might get around to playing this game at some point
But anyway, I win.
A fifth of the way there! Lol
If you win, will you share the castle with us?
@RiotDemon I hope it’s a bouncy castle.
@RiotDemon @sammydog01 oooohhhhh in that case I want to come play with you guys too!
Well in 578th place and I am sick of clicking now.
I just clicked the meh one up to 45,000 and now my finger hurts.
@zachdecker number one has over 4 million clicks now…
OK, so I got obsessed when I clicked for over 2,000 and never saw the position change (was #1067 with a little over 51,000 clicks when I started), so I kept clicking, and clicking, and clicking, and clicking. Until I got to about 5,000 and it still didn’t move…
So I refreshed the page and the rank had moved up to #1023.
OK, so now I’m REALLY obsessed and decided to drop the rank below 1,000, so I clicked it up to 60,000, just to make sure…#1012 - Dang!
61,000…#1004 - GRRRRRRR!
62,000…#994
OK I’m done!
Now I hate you for introducing me to this…
BTW - the leader has over 48 million now.
I left us at 77777, but the leader is at 97826666. I don’t think Meh is going to win that castle. (Rank #958)
@Kyeh 80001, rank 948.
Got us to 101,666, rank #882
The leader is 149,904,083
Interesting note: if you click a bunch then refresh the page, you lose one point
@callow I noticed that too, about the one point!
We need a bot to win. No way the leader isn’t employing something like that.
@kykazaa yeaaahhhhh… 108 million clicks now.
Hit 120k, but stuck at #909 for now
So is Meh planning to sell us these next week?
I don’t even know what’s going on any more. People have fractions of clicks in the leaderboard. One of them has Pi. (Or I guess 1/10th of Pi since it’s .31415926)
@dave some European countries use periods instead of commas for high numbers. Maybe?
@dave @RiotDemon Nah, the whole number decreases when you click on it.
Just gonna leave this here…

@djslack I can set the interval to 1ms here fyi. The numbers move faster that way.
This is excellent use of zoom meeting time.
Nevermind, it looks like I need to have at least a 75ms interval to get most of the clicks to register. My desktop is showing 20k more clicks than I see on mobile.
If we can get just a couple thousand people to do this we might stand a chance lol
@djslack i’m getting about 100 clicks registered every 4.1s max with a 10ms interval
@carl669 nice! I was ballparking it by just increasing the interval and estimating how closely the numbers went up between reloads on mobile versus how many clicks my desktop showed. I’ll adjust more and see what I get. You may have a better pipe for the backend calls than I do.
I do think it’s doing better now that I’m not on a conference.
What I find interesting is that about 90k more clicks than when I started looking at it our rank is still #891.
@carl669 at 10ms my desktop was outpacing the site on mobile by several hundred after just a short time. At 15ms the site is outpacing my desktop, which it should with others clicking. So that’s my scientific effort for now.
@carl669 and progress seemed to stop there for a minute. I don’t know if you can get rate limited out or something. Back down to 75ms for me. I think I may leave a machine on doing it overnight.
My machine must be blocked. The number has stopped climbing.
Took us to 176,000. We are way behind!
@railek 276,000 and we’re still #891.
388,000. #891. Wow.
400,007 Still #891
@callow Rank #561, though! That’s a pretty good jump…
The people that had over 100 million clicks seem to have been removed.
@djslack they just ascended to a higher plane of existence, man
So confused by this clicking games. I play and put in 2,000 clicks and it’s the screen with the really low number of clicks like @railek took a pick of then I go back in and click again and were at 420,000. Makes no sense and could not have climbed that much in 2 mins.
@Star2236 I have a laptop clicking every 57 milliseconds unless another Microsoft teams login screen pops up. I don’t think I’m the only one. So it could jump quite a bit if a few people are doing that.
500k!
@dave over a million now…
I checked on my laptop and it was over 1.5mm when the real site was just over 750k, but apparently the guest wifi I had it on resets overnight so it wasn’t online. It was just clicking away into the void. I fixed that problem so let’s see if it can keep running now.
Meh is apparently no longer linked???
@Kyeh it worked for me.
@RiotDemon Yeah, it seems to be back for me now too. Not that it matters much, I’m sure!
Not linked now for me.
We should cross 2 million tonight, but the current king just crossed 1 billion.
