@mediocrebot I hate people from California... Every time an ITEM is SOLD OUT California has bought most if not all... How about putting the new ITEMS up for sale at 9PM EASTERN???/...
@mediocrebot Got an Anker dual USB charger on Amazon; it was $10; simultaneous charging of my iPad and iPhone. Very happy I didn't get a ripoff from Groupon and loved your rant. (Lifetime guarantee too)
@mediocrebot im so glad everyone and their mother have free shipping so i can log in at 7 and not get one. Even better to see iphone users in for three. Between this over the last 3 days and those stupid fucking bags of shit that taunt me I'm starting to twitch.
@triplebud so write a script that loads meh and clicks BUY IT every day at 12:01am. Then when you wake up, see what you've bought and cancel the order if you don't want it. Or wake up at midnight for a quick pee and meh-check, then go back to sleep.
@madmatt2112 Logically speaking, since you apparently don't consider "old ladies" to be a subset of the "non-tech savvy" set, we can surmise that you feel iPhones are perfectly appropriate for the tech-savvy old ladies market.
@madmatt2112 I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that I'm probably more tech savvy than a lot of people here. I could write c code to answer my phone. I don't want to be tech savvy to use my tools. I just need them to work. Same reason I ditched Windows - I want to spend let time working on my machine and more time working on my machine.
@VeeDubTDI Just checked the duration of the "Cancel" link on the orders page - at least on the next sale (Kershaw knife) it appeared to die about 5 minutes after ordering. Not much time to research after pulling the trigger!
@baqui63 because fuck logic. This sounds like Twofer Tuesday's slutty twin sister, Under $5 Special. She'll get you to pony up $5 for just about anything.
The Groupon writeup is interesting. Shows how much profit Groupon must be making on their physical goods deals if they sold something for $19 that meh is selling for $4 (with potentially free shipping for a lot of people).
On the flip side, if Meh sold this for $9, they'd be able to have a funny write up about how it's 50% off the 50% off daily deal price on Groupon or something.
Oh man, I wasn't going to buy this until I read the Groupon write-up! Spot on, Groupon jumped the shark at least two years ago, what a scam. Love also the well placed (and perfectly appropriate) profanity. Fuck Groupon for real, next up: Facebook.
@christinerenee Co workers, employees, family members. Wish it wasn't limited to 3 for that purpose. I would have my SO sign up, but she would just use my CC all the time.
Bought it just for the option to put my phone into blue-tooth mode when I plug it in the car. It was either spend $4 or spend more time making an app that does the same thing.
@Skylord123 I set up an NFC tag in my car to turn on bluetooth and turn wifi off. I have another tag near the door between my garage and house to do the opposite.
@jqubed Yes - I use http://www.whiztags.com/ but there are several brands of tags you can set to do pretty much whatever you want them to to. Search for programmable nfc tags.
Not sure why I'd want/need a button that can do limited things whilst requiring yet another app to do them when I can simply verbally command the phone to do everything I want (well, not everything...)
But a 4 buck 2.1 amp car charger for your mobile devices? Good deal with VMP.
Looks like the app for this charger was abandoned. Last update October 2013 and it was full of bugs at that time per most of the reviews. Buy it for the 2.1A charger, don't bank on it doing anything else.
@juststephen Holy fuckity fucking fuck! Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck are you fucking 12 that you are so fucking offended by bad fucking words? Looky here. Fuck Fuck Fuckity fuck fuck fuck - see that didn't harm anyone. Ah hell. Big floppy donkey dicks.
@juststephen I'm 27, however a Christian (follower of Christ), so I do not appreciate profanity. I'll just check and see what product is available and skip the writeup.
@madamehardy I'm not speaking for all Christians. I'm speaking for myself and what the Bible says: But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
@madamehardy Col 3:8...Eph 5:4: Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
@madamehardy Eph 4:29: Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
@juststephen All of those injunctions are Paul telling Christians what they themselves should do; he's not saying that Christians should tell other people (including non-Christians) what they can say.
@madamehardy Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. I don't want to be tempted myself to swear, as it says multiple times in the Bible to do not utter profanity in many different ways of phrasing it. If you are truly a Christian, and truly believe the Bible, you wouldn't want to utter profanity as you would see that it against God. I'm not judging you, as only you know your own heart, I'm just trying to figure out how you can do such as thing, that the Bible clearly says not to do, without feeling any contempt doing so, if you are truly a Christian, Madame Hardy.
@juststephen I am quite certain that nobody on meh.com cares about whether I am truly a Christian or not. I'm retiring from this conversation because I think it's irrelevant to the forum.
@YahSah15 It's an alternate way of viewing stuff on Meh- shows you the item, price, number of comments. Also, the same stats on previous items, and links to the past videos.
@juststephen It is the right decision to turn away from what offends you. But it is not right to tell an open forum of people of several creeds that they should tailor their content to you and your specific needs. The thing is about this site, and any other shopping site for that matter, runs on every other sin in the bible.
Too bad I bought the Cobra Power Inverter/Charger combo last time Meh had one. At least I can comfort myself by watching my new, refurbished 39" LED TV that arrived yesterday.
@Cinoclav Oh no! I'm not even going to tell her about it, until I try it, first. If I don't like it, I will probably just cry and give these to some poor sucker that has an iPhone.
@jmhsrv For me, my phone goes into standby mode, so I got to press a button on side, then I have to fiddle with a button on the screen through my triple armored screen protector, then I can .... BAM. Well call my insurance company.
@jmhsrv is cold now and I'm wearing gloves, so I have to use my nose to get the phone to do stuff. this is a push button and will work even if wearing gloves. I am so glad that someone finally came up with a workaround to use a touchscreen with gloves, albeit a crappy, limited one with a buggy app that may cause ladybugs to appear.
I just bought 3 SOLELY AND ONLY BECAUSE THE WRITE UP SAID..... AND I QUOTE..... "Because fuck those creeps." re: Groupon. Could have been several others, this time Groupon, but the point remains the same. Absolutely only reason. 100% true. Profanity-provoked purchase. Truest "truth in advertising" I have seen in a long long LONG time.
Dayam, Meh. Yet another item for which I am feeling hopelessly inadequate. Granted, I AM hopelessly inadequate, but I don't feel that way all the time. I don't have a car & no car has me. I would not wish to inflict this upon any of my friends with cars, even if I had any. Do you imagine this might charge my phone if I were to hold the thing upside my Metro farecard?
On Amazon, you can purchase a new on of these for $11 and $4.99 shipping. You just need to click on other sellers for the best price. How come Meh's price check says it's $24.18 on Amazon? It should be $15.99
@aradem First, the seller that has it for $11 and 4.99 shipping has 1 rating. Would not trust or buy. Estimated shipping up to 26 days. Probably bought here and relisted considering as medicore Meh's shipping is, it is enough time to receive and send it right back out again. In fact amazing several of the sellers are now Just Listed. Besides that others are selling it for $12.35+5 and up, so Meh duped us into buying it at 75% off. I feel so screwed!
meh's crushing on groupon, social media puppy love is so cute.
Since I don't have to wait for headphones or my future backup camera that were sold out guess I'll go play with my $19 quadcopter that was not sold out.
I don't have an android phone and I don't need one of these but i'm tempted to buy one because "fuck those creeps" at groupon. this writeup is amazing.
@VeeDubTDI I don't have an android, and all the android users in the house are either out or asleep. At least this way they won't know what they missed.
I have no idea what I bought, but I'm glad I was an early adopter before it sold-out, despite it not being purple or baby arm compatible. Very compelling write-up. I don't know how I got this far in life without whatever it is. tepid-ecstatic-mouse
Got one for my son so he stops driving with his phone on his lap and stop him from cycling through apps he wants to use when he's at a red light. I've seen him do this and he completely loses his driving concentration. :-(
I was so enjoying the enjoyment of the writeup and the whole fucking solidarity against groupon thing--and just generally ambivalent anyway--damn, I missed it. But go meh.
Interested to see what Meh could do with this Eraping Woot has going on. Always wanted one but $50 for a suggested price of $280 for a piece of foam? $20 would be a good price, $15 a deal. This however? No. Serta Memory Foam Pillowtop Pet Beds $49.99 $279.99 82% off List Price
Crap! Stayed up till midnight to see what the new deal was... East-coaster... Figured I had to have it, because... hey, it's a deal (even tho I don't have an android phone)... saw the option to "join" for $5 a month for free shipping... Hey, another deal, right?! Fumbled in the dark to find my purse, my wallet, and my credit card, as not to wake up hubby so I didn't have to explain what I was attempting to buy at midnight... Created an account and password, tried to get back in to purchase, must have typed in password wrong, had to reset, twice (damn tiny phone keyboard), only to get DENIED! Sold Out! Crap. Double crap. Triple crap. Crap.crap.crap. First experience with meh, and I personally am less than meh for taking so long (newbie to the "smartphone" world) to complete a transaction on a device that is suppose to make my life simpler... Hey, at least I am ready for the next deal I gotta have... Only 11 hours to go... Wish me luck!
@wildmomo 23 hours. But ya I am only a pc/tablet guy when it comes to such. My phone hates me for typing it usually comes out like this in a text to a worker: tiu xomobg tp woel tsdau?
@Outofmymind Holy crap! That's so true! Or the dang auto-correct takes on a mind of its own and says God knows what and sends it to whosever name my thumb hit by mistake.... Oops.... 23 hours.... 😁 That's what happens when I'm up past my bedtime... Hmmmm.... who else has deals I cannot live without at this hour?
@syntrix82 Just think of it as a Fuku without the bag, leakfrog and creepy cups. I think the last Fuku lasted 40 minutes or so, but mostly due to server issues. The next Fuku however will be brutal.
So for today... 18772 of you visited. 48% on a phone, 9% on a tablet. What about the other 43%? In person? Telepathically? Palm Pilot? Dreamcast browser?
We sold 952 of these. 2509 clicked meh. That's $3973 total. And all this time I thought clicking "meh" was a good thing - it is your name.
88.11% of you didn't bite before we sold out at 12:32 am ET. So by my calculations there are only 8,007 "meh"mbers - really?
Meh vote because Sold out...u need to save some aside for East Coasters who party too hard or sleep late and miss deals. Also please MORE deals for android! You Apple/Windows snobs stick to your Groupon app and save Meh stuff for us!
Hey look! I'm an east-coaster that stayed up until midnight to see what happened. I got 2, and on my tablet. Neat. Of course this is a lot easier for me on Friday/Saturday nights. I will likely resume bitching if something awesome comes up during the workweek.
Oh, and this have been mentioned already, but there are several automation apps out there (Tasker, AutomateIT, Llama, etc) that are FREE OR $4 AND UNDER that can do exactly what this things does and more (well, and less, because it won't charge, obs).
My guess is that EVERYONE already has a way to charge their phone in the car, so no one really missed out here. Get an automation app, and actually have the phone improve your productivity and laziness levels using an app like the above.
Bought 2 last night. read the description of it this morning. My car already does all the stuff this thing does. Oh well, it's a cheap charger I guess.
Bought one last night, am in trouble because I didn't buy 3 to share with family. Have referred them to AMZN. My car does Bluetooth, Pandora etc. but the fast charge and parking features look great. PLEASE don't lose this dainty-fast-moon, meh. I already know I'll never see the 9 pairs of earbuds I ordered.
@OldCatLady Update: it arrived, I d/l the app, plugged everything in, and my phone became too hot to handle. Streaming Google music and other apps work perfectly, but a fried phone is not good. I do plan to get a new phone soon, but I'd rather not be forced into it. Tweaking the default settings now.
I read the description. It told me that it was a Bluetooth connected button with an attached 5 volt, 2 amp power supply, all for $4 each. I bought 3.
I thought, Emergency Stop Button or E-Stop.
I have a robot that is controlled with a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi has a Bluetooth dongle. The robot weighs between 50 and 100 pounds depending on which battery it is using and what other stuff is mounted on it. So it can hurt things if it runs into them.
So I just bought the key part for 3 remote E-Stop buttons. Just press the button to stop the robot.
The switches keep a constant conversation going with the connected device. It essentially is just saying "I am still here, and still working". If the button is pressed, or there is a problem with the switch, the robot must stop. Thus the robot will stop if it goes out of range, if the Bluetooth device battery goes dead, or otherwise fails.
It may be easy to use these as dead man switches. In that mode, the robot only runs as long as the button is pressed. It depends on if the device sends separate messages for button pressed, and button released.
@scfd0766 The robot in that picture might be Johny Five. My robot looks nothing like that. Here is my daughter driving the robot to the car after the 2013 Detroit Maker Faire. Note that in 2013, the robot was controlled with an RC car remote control. I haven't changed the wooden frame much in the decade since I built it, but I keep changing the electronics.
The motors, wheels and axles came out of a pair of Barbie Ride On Jeeps. The motors attached to the pink wheels are from a different generation than the black wheels. The pink wheels are noticeably more powerful. The wagon has the stuff from our booth. That year the Raspberry Pi just ran the monitor on top, but not the motors.
"3. It helps us kill Groupon." Im all for killing Groupon, but when you dont have enough to sell them to all of us, guess where I'm headed to buy this awesome charger.
@maxxm It is awesome at $4. The awesomeness recedes rapidly with increasing price. Get a $2 2amp charger and use the tasker app. It will be more reliable.
@maxxm I get my chargers from tinydeal.com it is on sale for $1.41 each. They also sell NFC stickers, which is another way to activate the Tasker App. My son has Tasker configured to do stuff based on location, so the NFC stickers are not required. They are 3 for $2.34 or 10 for $4.58, probably cheaper elsewhere.
@hamjudo I own plenty of 2amp chargers already, and have tried the tasker app, but was unsatisfied. I was looking for another solution that was more comprehensive and this looked very promising based on reviews I read. I have also tried NFC stickers and they do no work properly with my phone. Thank you for the suggestion though.
Will someone please sell one of these to me? For fucks sake I always miss the good deals, sorry I was too busy sleeping to come online and purchase 47 of these to only be resold at a 400% markup.
@katblue I get it, I should have been vigilant... But it really gets frustrating not snatching up any items that I actually need. We all know people make multiple accounts and that's all good, but it'd be nice to even have a chance.
So does anyone's button work? Because I downloaded the app, synced, set up the button actions and simply cannot trigger the button whatsoever. I'm kind of surprised I don't see anyone discussing this yet.

@mediocrebot groupon sucks. In for three!
@VeeDubTDI Mickey Mouse hand not included.
@Outofmymind dammit!
@mediocrebot Who the hell has androids. Don't ever sell an android oriented product again. Thanks
@mediocrebot I hate people from California... Every time an ITEM is SOLD OUT California has bought most if not all... How about putting the new ITEMS up for sale at 9PM EASTERN???/...
This makes me feel bad about the local restaurant Groupon I used tonight. Wasnt even a very good deal. Meh...
@IBMgrunt Entire discussion about that here: https://meh.com/forum/topics/sold-out-bullshit
@mediocrebot 952 laughs Godspeed.
@IBMgrunt You're up at 1AM, why not just get up at midnight?
@mediocrebot Got an Anker dual USB charger on Amazon; it was $10; simultaneous charging of my iPad and iPhone. Very happy I didn't get a ripoff from Groupon and loved your rant. (Lifetime guarantee too)
@idom iPhones are for old ladies and the non tech savvy. If Cupertino doesn't start innovating soon they're going the way of the blackberry.
@IBMgrunt I agree!!! Why even waste my time going to this site if the West Coast buys all of the items before 1am eastern time.
@mediocrebot im so glad everyone and their mother have free shipping so i can log in at 7 and not get one. Even better to see iphone users in for three. Between this over the last 3 days and those stupid fucking bags of shit that taunt me I'm starting to twitch.
@triplebud so write a script that loads meh and clicks BUY IT every day at 12:01am. Then when you wake up, see what you've bought and cancel the order if you don't want it. Or wake up at midnight for a quick pee and meh-check, then go back to sleep.
@VeeDubTDI How long does the "Cancel" link stay on your order page?
@RedOak I don't know. I'll have to check the next time I buy something.
@madmatt2112 Logically speaking, since you apparently don't consider "old ladies" to be a subset of the "non-tech savvy" set, we can surmise that you feel iPhones are perfectly appropriate for the tech-savvy old ladies market.
@IBMgrunt, @jusdef how about showing up when the sale starts?
@madmatt2112 I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that I'm probably more tech savvy than a lot of people here. I could write c code to answer my phone. I don't want to be tech savvy to use my tools. I just need them to work. Same reason I ditched Windows - I want to spend let time working on my machine and more time working on my machine.
@IBMgrunt da fk u say?
@madmatt2112 YEP!
@VeeDubTDI Just checked the duration of the "Cancel" link on the orders page - at least on the next sale (Kershaw knife) it appeared to die about 5 minutes after ordering. Not much time to research after pulling the trigger!
First meh click. I'll never get a fuku.....
@givemeyoursoul My first meh purchase WAS a fuku, and I nearly squeed
@OldCatLady oh lordy we can't have people making such noises round herrr
Can we get an auto-meh option...?
@mbills2223 NO! that would just reward the lazy. You snooze you lose.
meh
in for three, tho no idea why
@baqui63 because fuck logic. This sounds like Twofer Tuesday's slutty twin sister, Under $5 Special. She'll get you to pony up $5 for just about anything.
What's a chager?
"1x Cobra Joyride Chager"
@momojiri It's the Boston version.
In for one so I can use it with my phone to play music through the car speakers (via bluetooth)
@kyle170 I don't think this does what you think it does
@kyle170 That hoof should have burst into flames by now.
Looks useful, but I don't have my car right now
The Groupon writeup is interesting. Shows how much profit Groupon must be making on their physical goods deals if they sold something for $19 that meh is selling for $4 (with potentially free shipping for a lot of people).
On the flip side, if Meh sold this for $9, they'd be able to have a funny write up about how it's 50% off the 50% off daily deal price on Groupon or something.
@Collin1000 Yeah, but that wouldn't have been as awesome.
Why not?
this isn't meh... this is crap
@Noddy93 Whoa, you're not @unixrab.
@brhfl I thought the same thing because he said it just like it was @unixrab except @Noddy93 is a smart VMP member.
@brhfl... ignore @cengland0 oh wait... you are VMP. ... . carry on. SIDENOTE: @Noddy93 "Correct!"
Oh dat writeup.
@Headly My favorite part: "...fuck those creeps..."
@Kyser_Soze Amen… tell us how you really feel!
Been 3 minutes since I bought 3. Still hasn't shipped.
I bought one for your mom.
Only $4... I just CHARGED it
Ah-thankyouverymuch
Oh man, I wasn't going to buy this until I read the Groupon write-up! Spot on, Groupon jumped the shark at least two years ago, what a scam. Love also the well placed (and perfectly appropriate) profanity. Fuck Groupon for real, next up: Facebook.
@Psymac Poor Groupon. They should have taken the 6-fucking-billion-dollar offer from Google when they had the chance.
Goat-awful crap. Thanks, @joelmw
@mehdiocre_user GLOTUFTW
@mehdiocre_user Mehicans loved it, some bought three, sold out in just over 30 minutes. I'll take that blame.
I am so close to buying 3 just because of the awesome write-up and I don't even have a friggin car.
@christinerenee Co workers, employees, family members. Wish it wasn't limited to 3 for that purpose. I would have my SO sign up, but she would just use my CC all the time.
@Outofmymind I did it. Maybe I'll even give one to my brother's friend who works at Groupon.
@Outofmymind you could do a "gift subscription" for your SO. She need not even know about it.
Meh for the charger, but Buy It for the copy. Fuck Groupon I guess!
Not bad. Just don't need one
Listless-pudgy-temper. How does meh know?
Cobra Kai til I die
regular-heavenly-pasta what did I just buy?
stimulating-dejected-cattle
that's just wrong.
Best. Write-up. Ever.
I just sent the link to my brother to pass on to his friend who works at Groupon. Holy shit.
After missing out on the headphones and foscam cameras, I stayed up until midnight for this? MEH!
@AlbanyHDTV I was pissed about missing the Foscam too
@AlbanyHDTV i stayed up too late and missed this... east coast at 2am "did I check meh yet? It couldnt be sold out yet.
Bought it just for the option to put my phone into blue-tooth mode when I plug it in the car. It was either spend $4 or spend more time making an app that does the same thing.
@Skylord123 I set up an NFC tag in my car to turn on bluetooth and turn wifi off. I have another tag near the door between my garage and house to do the opposite.
@hallmike That's possible?!
@jqubed Yes - I use http://www.whiztags.com/ but there are several brands of tags you can set to do pretty much whatever you want them to to. Search for programmable nfc tags.
@hallmike you can also use the app Tasker to do similar stuff as well.
@hallmike Thanks... you just reminded me that I got a pack of NFC tags for Christmas...
@jqubed I haven't messed much with NFC. I will definitely have to check it out.
Gotta give it up for any copy that references the end of the Punic Wars. Now if you could only work in War Elephants into the next one...
Not sure why I'd want/need a button that can do limited things whilst requiring yet another app to do them when I can simply verbally command the phone to do everything I want (well, not everything...)
But a 4 buck 2.1 amp car charger for your mobile devices? Good deal with VMP.
Looks like the app for this charger was abandoned. Last update October 2013 and it was full of bugs at that time per most of the reviews. Buy it for the 2.1A charger, don't bank on it doing anything else.
@wyk3d were they lady bugs? Because those Fuckers are all over my bathroom
Well there you go Android users. Now quit your fucking whining.
Non-Android user here, but I still bought some. Damn you, @joelmw!
@narfcake
perceptive-benevolent-head
Take that groupon!
Is that Meh-key Mouse hand attached to a baby arm?
No idea why but I'm in for 3.You win again meh...
Wow. The profanity in the write up will likely make me leave this site. Have at least a little decency.
@juststephen This is the clean version already.
@juststephen go back to groupon.
@juststephen see that bag of dicks over there? You know what to do.
@juststephen You're RIGHT! They should fuckin' STOP!
@juststephen it's cute that words can manipulate you like that. Really fucking cute.
@bruinscbr Listen up sluts. The interwebs is a dirty place.
@juststephen come on everyone, Stephen is just thinking about the children.... That he has locked in his sex dungeon.
@narfcake @bruinscbr @42snails @studerc @Outofmymind Seriously, guys, what @Kyser_Soze said.
@joelmw Your goat appeared broken for a minute, have you been doing the daily oil changes?
@juststephen so long, poopie face!
@Outofmymind
@bruinscbr not so sure he'll like Groupon any better since those guys sell all kinds of naughty stuff.
@juststephen Holy fuckity fucking fuck! Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck are you fucking 12 that you are so fucking offended by bad fucking words? Looky here. Fuck Fuck Fuckity fuck fuck fuck - see that didn't harm anyone. Ah hell. Big floppy donkey dicks.
@Headly ^^^ this
@lisaviolet
@juststephen
@juststephen I'm 27, however a Christian (follower of Christ), so I do not appreciate profanity. I'll just check and see what product is available and skip the writeup.
@juststephen In that case, you'll be much better served by http://mehstalker.com/ , which is run by @lichme. Just the info, nothing more.
@juststephen I'm a Christian and I swear with enthusiasm and variety. Don't try speaking for all Christians.
@madamehardy I'm not speaking for all Christians. I'm speaking for myself and what the Bible says: But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
@madamehardy Col 3:8...Eph 5:4: Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
@madamehardy Eph 4:29: Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
@juststephen All of those injunctions are Paul telling Christians what they themselves should do; he's not saying that Christians should tell other people (including non-Christians) what they can say.
@madamehardy Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. I don't want to be tempted myself to swear, as it says multiple times in the Bible to do not utter profanity in many different ways of phrasing it.

I'm not judging you, as only you know your own heart, I'm just trying to figure out how you can do such as thing, that the Bible clearly says not to do, without feeling any contempt doing so, if you are truly a Christian, Madame Hardy.
@juststephen You allow words too much power over you. Both the words of men written in an old book and swear words alike.
@juststephen I am quite certain that nobody on meh.com cares about whether I am truly a Christian or not. I'm retiring from this conversation because I think it's irrelevant to the forum.
@dashcloud What is that site all about? I couldn't access it, and my device won't run the java script.
@YahSah15 It's an alternate way of viewing stuff on Meh- shows you the item, price, number of comments. Also, the same stats on previous items, and links to the past videos.
@dashcloud Thanks. Do they turn over at midnight est?
@juststephen Bite me. Me.
@YahSah15 Looks like it- if you've got other questions, ask @lichme- he made it.
@juststephen It is the right decision to turn away from what offends you. But it is not right to tell an open forum of people of several creeds that they should tailor their content to you and your specific needs. The thing is about this site, and any other shopping site for that matter, runs on every other sin in the bible.
@Outofmehmind Oil? What oil?
Does this do parceltounge translations
Too bad I bought the Cobra Power Inverter/Charger combo last time Meh had one. At least I can comfort myself by watching my new, refurbished 39" LED TV that arrived yesterday.
@astrienne hows the picture quality?
I'm going to try this. Since it's only $4 I bought 2, that way my girlfriend will have one, as well. If it's not worth a crap, I'm only out $8.
@theco2 And one girlfriend after she realizes you gave her a $4 piece of shit.
@Cinoclav Oh no! I'm not even going to tell her about it, until I try it, first. If I don't like it, I will probably just cry and give these to some poor sucker that has an iPhone.
@Cinoclav she'll be surprised to discover it's also an USB controlled vibrating buttplug.
Meh-Groupon grudge fight?
I have been watching this for almost 30 minutes and he's still eating. How much popcorn does he have?
@theco2 I wish he'd chew with his mouth closed.
@hallmike Believe it or not; I would rather watch him eat, than watching my girlfriend's 16 year old son eat.
What exactly is the difference between pushing a button on this thing and pushing a button on your phone?
@jmhsrv For me, my phone goes into standby mode, so I got to press a button on side, then I have to fiddle with a button on the screen through my triple armored screen protector, then I can .... BAM. Well call my insurance company.
@jmhsrv one is on this thing and the other is on your phone
@jmhsrv Where I live, you can't legally push a button on your phone while driving. This is legal. Problem?
@jmhsrv is cold now and I'm wearing gloves, so I have to use my nose to get the phone to do stuff. this is a push button and will work even if wearing gloves. I am so glad that someone finally came up with a workaround to use a touchscreen with gloves, albeit a crappy, limited one with a buggy app that may cause ladybugs to appear.
@baqui63 You should have bought these, then. https://meh.com/forum/topics/2-for-tuesday-urge-basics-precision-touchscreen-gloves
Holy Meh!
BEST PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION EVER. HANDS DOWN. I BOUGHT ONE SIMPLY BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION.
$4. What's not to like?
@JazzyJosh the mad jelly write-up.
I just bought 3 SOLELY AND ONLY BECAUSE THE WRITE UP SAID..... AND I QUOTE..... "Because fuck those creeps." re: Groupon. Could have been several others, this time Groupon, but the point remains the same. Absolutely only reason. 100% true. Profanity-provoked purchase. Truest "truth in advertising" I have seen in a long long LONG time.
@shubydoo Classic @JasonToon Truth-In-Advertising. Several years back, his classic World's Crappiest Projector writeup helped sell 839 of those POS.
@narfcake That was definitely one for the ages.
@narfcake did you see this, they love it, "if you know what I mean"
@badmnky ceiling cat is watching
@badmnky The hell with giving it to the kids....ceiling porn! "If you know what I mean".
Dayam, Meh. Yet another item for which I am feeling hopelessly inadequate. Granted, I AM hopelessly inadequate, but I don't feel that way all the time. I don't have a car & no car has me. I would not wish to inflict this upon any of my friends with cars, even if I had any. Do you imagine this might charge my phone if I were to hold the thing upside my Metro farecard?
@gertiestn it goes in the butt
Tenth meh of the year so far!
In honor of this, I give you callous-unmoving-boat. But yeah, his boat moved. So it's ironic. Meh.
Knowing is Half the Battle
On Amazon, you can purchase a new on of these for $11 and $4.99 shipping. You just need to click on other sellers for the best price. How come Meh's price check says it's $24.18 on Amazon? It should be $15.99
@aradem They're pullin' a Groupon on you, that's how come.
@aradem First, the seller that has it for $11 and 4.99 shipping has 1 rating. Would not trust or buy. Estimated shipping up to 26 days. Probably bought here and relisted considering as medicore Meh's shipping is, it is enough time to receive and send it right back out again. In fact amazing several of the sellers are now Just Listed. Besides that others are selling it for $12.35+5 and up, so Meh duped us into buying it at 75% off. I feel so screwed!
meh's crushing on groupon, social media puppy love is so cute.
Since I don't have to wait for headphones or my future backup camera that were sold out guess I'll go play with my $19 quadcopter that was not sold out.
I don't have an android phone and I don't need one of these but i'm tempted to buy one because "fuck those creeps" at groupon. this writeup is amazing.
Well that went fast. I was reading the reviews at Amazon, decided to buy and nope, sold out.
@remo28 buy now, research later.
@VeeDubTDI I don't have an android, and all the android users in the house are either out or asleep. At least this way they won't know what they missed.
@remo28 it says charges any USB device. What more do you want? The rest is just a gimmick anyway.
@VeeDubTDI do you know how long that "Cancel" link stays active on the order page? If more than 10-15 minutes, good advice to buy first, think later.
Sold out in 32 minutes. And JUST as I was about to FUCK GROUPON. I guess that's what they call grouponus interruptus...
33 minutes sold out already. =(
God dammit. 12:30 and it's freaking sold out. WTF! You bastards who bought three, fuck you guys
@samoman21 I'll sell you one for $9. Half the price of Spampon!
@VeeDubTDI Sir i will buy it for no more then... 5, yes, 5 dollaroh
@samoman21 for $5 I can only sell you the free Android app
@samoman21 If it helps I bought 2
Sold out at 952? I was hoping for more Spampon destruction. Talk about a mediocre attempt!
Alt+F4 for the fuku!
@nadroj what does that mean?
Image from my order number:
@jqubed Kind of meaningless without actually posting your order phrase.
@Cinoclav this
@Cinoclav @CrossIT Meh has repeatedly stated we should not post our order
numbersphrases on the forums. This is an alternative.@jqubed a Meh Korean translator did mention this in error; there is no actual reason to not post your order phrase (unless it is boring-old-house) :)
@snapster oh, ok then: absorbing-ashamedly-cottage
I have no idea what I bought, but I'm glad I was an early adopter before it sold-out, despite it not being purple or baby arm compatible. Very compelling write-up. I don't know how I got this far in life without whatever it is. tepid-ecstatic-mouse
I love purple.
Got one for my son so he stops driving with his phone on his lap and stop him from cycling through apps he wants to use when he's at a red light. I've seen him do this and he completely loses his driving concentration. :-(
I was so enjoying the enjoyment of the writeup and the whole fucking solidarity against groupon thing--and just generally ambivalent anyway--damn, I missed it. But go meh.
Well that was fast.
Holy cow that sell out. Glad I got home in time.
These chargers were the Groupon overstock they couldn't sell that meh bought from them to resell to us...hey, wait a minute...
Started out really strong but I think they needed to sell about 10 times that many to be a REALLY effective fuck you to Groupon.
@christinerenee Kind of agree 10,000 would have been a nice fuck you. Maybe this is just the first step in Mehpons, sponsored by Playtex.
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I love purple.
@jrwofuga That's my boy!
Interested to see what Meh could do with this Eraping Woot has going on. Always wanted one but $50 for a suggested price of $280 for a piece of foam? $20 would be a good price, $15 a deal. This however? No. Serta Memory Foam Pillowtop Pet Beds
$49.99 $279.99 82% off List Price
Meh, you keep impressing me. Another sellout. Awesome job, keep up the good work!
Crap! Stayed up till midnight to see what the new deal was... East-coaster... Figured I had to have it, because... hey, it's a deal (even tho I don't have an android phone)... saw the option to "join" for $5 a month for free shipping... Hey, another deal, right?! Fumbled in the dark to find my purse, my wallet, and my credit card, as not to wake up hubby so I didn't have to explain what I was attempting to buy at midnight... Created an account and password, tried to get back in to purchase, must have typed in password wrong, had to reset, twice (damn tiny phone keyboard), only to get DENIED! Sold Out! Crap. Double crap. Triple crap. Crap.crap.crap. First experience with meh, and I personally am less than meh for taking so long (newbie to the "smartphone" world) to complete a transaction on a device that is suppose to make my life simpler... Hey, at least I am ready for the next deal I gotta have... Only 11 hours to go... Wish me luck!
@wildmomo 23 hours. But ya I am only a pc/tablet guy when it comes to such. My phone hates me for typing it usually comes out like this in a text to a worker: tiu xomobg tp woel tsdau?
@wildmomo Once you are set up with VMP membership it is alarmingly quick and easy to buy. So you are definitely ready to go. :)
@Outofmymind Holy crap! That's so true! Or the dang auto-correct takes on a mind of its own and says God knows what and sends it to whosever name my thumb hit by mistake.... Oops.... 23 hours.... 😁 That's what happens when I'm up past my bedtime... Hmmmm.... who else has deals I cannot live without at this hour?
@wildmomo I read somewhere recently Groupon is excellent,
@wildmomo welcome to the madness of meh!
Seems a bit weak to have less than 1000 items of something you are selling for $4 bucks!
@syntrix82 Just think of it as a Fuku without the bag, leakfrog and creepy cups. I think the last Fuku lasted 40 minutes or so, but mostly due to server issues. The next Fuku however will be brutal.
@syntrix82 seems pretty meh to me
Wow!!! It's only 0034, and sold out already? Jeez CST anyway...
Sold out. WaaahMeh.
So for today...
18772 of you visited.
48% on a phone, 9% on a tablet.
What about the other 43%? In person? Telepathically? Palm Pilot? Dreamcast browser?
We sold 952 of these.
2509 clicked meh.
That's $3973 total.
And all this time I thought clicking "meh" was a good
thing - it is your name.
88.11% of you didn't bite
before we sold out at 12:32 am ET.
So by my calculations there are only 8,007 "meh"mbers - really?
@iggy71 43% via computers
@iggy71 8,007 that checked in to see this before it sold out, not 8,007 total.
@medz There has to be more detail than that. :)
@iggy71 You're missing 57.4% of the fun if you haven't been to Carrollton for the daily launch in person.
Meh vote because Sold out...u need to save some aside for East Coasters who party too hard or sleep late and miss deals.
Also please MORE deals for android! You Apple/Windows snobs stick to your Groupon app and save Meh stuff for us!
Hey look! I'm an east-coaster that stayed up until midnight to see what happened. I got 2, and on my tablet. Neat. Of course this is a lot easier for me on Friday/Saturday nights. I will likely resume bitching if something awesome comes up during the workweek.
abnormal-giant-termite
Oh, and this have been mentioned already, but there are several automation apps out there (Tasker, AutomateIT, Llama, etc) that are FREE OR $4 AND UNDER that can do exactly what this things does and more (well, and less, because it won't charge, obs).
My guess is that EVERYONE already has a way to charge their phone in the car, so no one really missed out here. Get an automation app, and actually have the phone improve your productivity and laziness levels using an app like the above.
P.S. Tasker is awesome.
Bought 2 last night. read the description of it this morning. My car already does all the stuff this thing does. Oh well, it's a cheap charger I guess.
Wish I got one. Sucks being on the east coast with a schedule.
Bought one last night, am in trouble because I didn't buy 3 to share with family. Have referred them to AMZN. My car does Bluetooth, Pandora etc. but the fast charge and parking features look great. PLEASE don't lose this dainty-fast-moon, meh. I already know I'll never see the 9 pairs of earbuds I ordered.
@OldCatLady Update: it arrived, I d/l the app, plugged everything in, and my phone became too hot to handle. Streaming Google music and other apps work perfectly, but a fried phone is not good. I do plan to get a new phone soon, but I'd rather not be forced into it. Tweaking the default settings now.
I read the description. It told me that it was a Bluetooth connected button with an attached 5 volt, 2 amp power supply, all for $4 each. I bought 3.
I thought, Emergency Stop Button or E-Stop.
I have a robot that is controlled with a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi has a Bluetooth dongle. The robot weighs between 50 and 100 pounds depending on which battery it is using and what other stuff is mounted on it. So it can hurt things if it runs into them.
So I just bought the key part for 3 remote E-Stop buttons. Just press the button to stop the robot.
The switches keep a constant conversation going with the connected device. It essentially is just saying "I am still here, and still working". If the button is pressed, or there is a problem with the switch, the robot must stop. Thus the robot will stop if it goes out of range, if the Bluetooth device battery goes dead, or otherwise fails.
It may be easy to use these as dead man switches. In that mode, the robot only runs as long as the button is pressed. It depends on if the device sends separate messages for button pressed, and button released.
@hamjudo Now for a really important question; what's the robot's name?
@Teripie
@Teripie I never gave it a name. At the maker space, they call it the "wooden robot". There aren't a lot of wooden robots in the area.
@hamjudo - It's Johnny Five!
@scfd0766 The robot in that picture might be Johny Five. My robot looks nothing like that. Here is my daughter driving the robot to the car after the 2013 Detroit Maker Faire.
Note that in 2013, the robot was controlled with an RC car remote control. I haven't changed the wooden frame much in the decade since I built it, but I keep changing the electronics.
The motors, wheels and axles came out of a pair of Barbie Ride On Jeeps. The motors attached to the pink wheels are from a different generation than the black wheels. The pink wheels are noticeably more powerful. The wagon has the stuff from our booth. That year the Raspberry Pi just ran the monitor on top, but not the motors.
"3. It helps us kill Groupon."
Im all for killing Groupon, but when you dont have enough to sell them to all of us, guess where I'm headed to buy this awesome charger.
@maxxm It is awesome at $4. The awesomeness recedes rapidly with increasing price. Get a $2 2amp charger and use the tasker app. It will be more reliable.
@maxxm I get my chargers from tinydeal.com it is on sale for $1.41 each. They also sell NFC stickers, which is another way to activate the Tasker App. My son has Tasker configured to do stuff based on location, so the NFC stickers are not required. They are 3 for $2.34 or 10 for $4.58, probably cheaper elsewhere.
@hamjudo I own plenty of 2amp chargers already, and have tried the tasker app, but was unsatisfied. I was looking for another solution that was more comprehensive and this looked very promising based on reviews I read. I have also tried NFC stickers and they do no work properly with my phone. Thank you for the suggestion though.
Is anyone else planning on using their Bluetooth buttons in an unorthodox manner?
@hamjudo
Will someone please sell one of these to me? For fucks sake I always miss the good deals, sorry I was too busy sleeping to come online and purchase 47 of these to only be resold at a 400% markup.
@Supertainment You snooze, you lose. And BTW, three is the maximum number that can be purchased with each order.
@Supertainment Bummer. You can have the one I didn't want. Oh wait, somebody already grabbed it.
@katblue I get it, I should have been vigilant... But it really gets frustrating not snatching up any items that I actually need. We all know people make multiple accounts and that's all good, but it'd be nice to even have a chance.
@Supertainment you did have a chance, we all did. The item switch over time is announced in advance.
I want one of those meh pokin hands!
If it's something you didn't know you needed until meh puts it up for sale at 12 AM EST, it's doubtful you actually needed it in the first place.
Besides, there's lots of cheap chargers out there if you in fact do need one.
So does anyone's button work? Because I downloaded the app, synced, set up the button actions and simply cannot trigger the button whatsoever. I'm kind of surprised I don't see anyone discussing this yet.
@deafinoneear same thing with mine on an LGG2. I wrote an email to Cobra CS but have heard nothing.
@deafinoneear Yeah, mine doesn't either, but my roommate said his worked
@deafinoneear Mine works with a Moto E.
