Soon as I got off my work network and onto my home one it went right through without busses or motorcycle identification. Does that mean I’m only a robot at work?

@jdl44lfhs I honestly can’t remember the last time I didn’t get one. It might not always be the first one that comes up, but I’ll get one at some point throughout the day.
@caalsio better… it will be worse than you would expect. Once got a well used electric Abdominal muscle stimulator with the sticky pads opened and semi-restuck to their backings.
@fropek When the current item reaches zero, give it half a second and click refresh. Refresh until it changes but don’t do it too quickly so that you accidentally refresh the page after it’s changed. Keep your mouse over the ‘Buy it’ button so as soon as you see it you can click. You know you’re going to get the captcha so you have to scroll down right away to click it and then the ‘Yes fine, buy it…’ button.
Even with just a check box (the rest of the day has been cross walks, etc.) didn’t get it as I refreshed too soon and had to refresh a second time. Sigh.
I have failed again. I am filled with despair… which I guess is what Im supposed to feel even if I do get one. So WIN! Later I will post about how this website actually saved my life… I haven’t been active in a long while and really should have shared.
@Panegyric I failed too. But every once in a while the magic happens and I get one. And then it arrives and all my anticipation turns to despair again. It’s such a vicious cycle. But the community keeps me coming back
@kerryzero@Kyeh@Kyser_Soze I got one once with some really old toys and a wooden box found outside the building … I kinda like getting random irks and finding things to do with stuff even if its not awesome on paper. Also? I just want something fun to come in the mail for once. even silly useless fun.
@Kyeh@Kyser_Soze@Panegyric yes I do love the randomness of it. Joking aside, I have to say I’ve gotten some very cool stuff from IRKs and I love it when the IRK box shows up
Has anybody else been so disappointed with an Irk that they go to Amazon and buy a bunch of smallish things they need, like a do-it-yourself-irk, but with stuff that is Awesome?
Many have tried and many have failed. I am in both groups all of the time. The Captcha is where I usually get eliminated, and I don’t understand how refreshing would help things.
I am realizing that you can spell frustration with just three letters “IRK.”
@ShandaSunshine That’s part of the mystery. A new item goes up for sale at midnight eastern time and you might want to see if it’s an IRK. Doubtful but it used to be the only item sold that day.
Now it seems they are only offered during Mehrathons where multiple items are offered throughout the day and a timer is on the page to show you how much time is left until the current product is removed from the home page and a new product is offered. If you stay up for 24 hours straight and look at every product offering, you might see some IRKs peppered in between those offerings. When you see one, good luck getting it because they have a limited supply and thousands of people trying to buy it. It will sell out in a few seconds.

Amazing.
My IRK just shipped.
I hope all Texans and Humans are doing well.
Robots not included this far.
I’m a Techno-cist until at least a single robot is finally nice to me.
It/she/he doesn’t have to like me, they only have to respect my meat-bag self as a sentient being.

Can’t believe I actually got one.
@katbyter Well that’s certainly timely.
@katbyter Aww, you must have refreshed the image.
@cinoclav Yes I did, but I forget what it was before.
@katbyter
Sold out in literally six seconds
@aaee It’s usually less than that
/giphy vanilla-condemned-monkey
Nooo, my hands were covered in sour cream when it popped up and I stupidly chose to spare my mouse…
@triavalon if you don’t have a bot running you have a very slim chance of winning.
@triavalon 100% guarantee you would’ve received a mouse in that Irk.
@jdl44lfhs @triavalon I’ve NEVER had a bot running and I’ve got a few IRKs.
@jdl44lfhs @triavalon
I’ve never used a bot and this is my 3rd or 4th IRK since November.
I always use my iPhone.

Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
Damn people using bots… FU

Best of luck on you IRK journey.

@Kexlox
That’s hot.
I’ve never had the motorcycle one before today, took me a second to figure out what the hell I was looking for. I got one tho!
@Kexlox @robthedude05 Wait until you get the bicycle one and it refuses to say you got them all until you click the motorcycle.
@Kexlox @Kidsandliz
Thanks, that’s a good tip.
I’ll remember that!
No matter how many times I pre fill out the robot nonsense it still asks on the IRK. Sigh
It lasted for 8 seconds??? What???
@evangelionhd Bots getting it… No Chance if you want to do it “fairly”
@evangelionhd Life’s a rodeo.
@evangelionhd @jdl44lfhs It’s not bots. It’s the fact that there are thousands upon thousands of people trying to buy 100 of them at once.
@evangelionhd @jdl44lfhs I am not a bot, have no idea how bots even work, and I got one. Good luck, I hope you do too.
@evangelionhd @jdl44lfhs I got one and am not a bot!
@cinoclav @evangelionhd Ok… try a bot, guarantee you’ll get it way more often than you clicking… Bots and resellers kill things like this… just sayin…
@jdl44lfhs I honestly can’t remember the last time I didn’t get one. It might not always be the first one that comes up, but I’ll get one at some point throughout the day.
@cbilyak @evangelionhd @jdl44lfhs
Same here.
Not sure what all this bot nonsense is on this thread. I usually don’t have any issues snagging one on my iPhone.
I’ve been trying ALL DAY. FINALLY. My first IRK ever. I hope its as terrible as promised.

@sunofshiva What does that hippo poo have to do with ants?
Literally 5 seconds and sold out. I’ve been trying to get this thing for like 5 years. WTF does it take…
and yes, this is my first ever comment, complaining about not being able to get an instant regret kit

@cinoclav @fropek Aaaannnddd you still don’t get it.
@cinoclav Shhh… Don’t give away too many of the secrets.
Even with just a check box (the rest of the day has been cross walks, etc.) didn’t get it as I refreshed too soon and had to refresh a second time. Sigh.
I finally freakin’ got one!
@drboohickey Han Solo: “Great, kid. Don’t get cocky.”
Wow. Why did it ask me if I was a robot twice? Ugh so mad. First time trying to score an IRK. This is depressing
@NanaAkorlibarba
@NanaAkorlibarba If it’s only your first time you have no idea what depressing truly is.
@NanaAkorlibarba Well, there are people who’ve tried for years and not gotten one, so more disappointment lies ahead, guaranteed.
Hah, and shortly after writing that I got one!
Why does mediocrebot reply to the word ant? Seems like there are some other trigger response words.
@sunofshiva You mean like awesome?
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
@Kyser_Soze @sunofshiva What does it do for AWESOME ANT?
MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
@sunofshiva or captcha ?
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@cbilyak @sunofshiva Try ant awesome!
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@cbilyak @Kyser_Soze @sunofshiva Let’s see which one is the strongest trigger:
Captcha an awesome ant, mediocrebot!
I installed CAPTCHA to save my fellow robots from wasting money on this crap.
I have failed again. I am filled with despair… which I guess is what Im supposed to feel even if I do get one. So WIN! Later I will post about how this website actually saved my life… I haven’t been active in a long while and really should have shared.
@Panegyric I failed too. But every once in a while the magic happens and I get one. And then it arrives and all my anticipation turns to despair again. It’s such a vicious cycle. But the community keeps me coming back
@Panegyric If you looked at the broken coffee cups and other crap people got last time (not counting what I got), you’d consider yourself lucky!
@Kyser_Soze @Panegyric I got a jock strap once back when it was Fuko instead of IRK.
@kerryzero @Kyser_Soze @Panegyric Yikes! Was it new, at least?
@Kyeh @Kyser_Soze @Panegyric I didn’t keep it, but yes it did appear to be new
@kerryzero @Kyser_Soze @Panegyric
Whew!
@kerryzero @Kyeh @Kyser_Soze I got one once with some really old toys and a wooden box found outside the building … I kinda like getting random irks and finding things to do with stuff even if its not awesome on paper. Also? I just want something fun to come in the mail for once. even silly useless fun.
HIKING! VIKINGS! STRIKE KING [BRAND FISHING LURES]! AWESOME!
@Panegyric
Got any good turtle photos?
@Kyeh @Kyser_Soze @Panegyric yes I do love the randomness of it. Joking aside, I have to say I’ve gotten some very cool stuff from IRKs and I love it when the IRK box shows up

@Kyser_Soze Buy it from Banggood and you get the long delivery time experience too.
@Kyser_Soze I’ve certainly found myself thinking that I did much better at Goodwill for the same/similar money.
