The best part about getting one isn’t actually getting what’s inside, it’s no longer being a slave to the F5 button all day. I can poop when I want to, and not have to worry about missing out.
When it comes to IRK’s I’m asked if I’m a bot, When I just bought the power banks not 10mins earlier, I was not asked about being a bot. Then of course the Meh bot takes my VMP membership dues every month.
@FreePasta In all the years I’ve been on and the many purchases I’ve always had the test show up for the rubbish item. I’ve had a few BOC (when it was woot) and 2 IRGs but when I get through the tests in 25 seconds, and the site says it sold out 2.5 minutes later…
Not impressed. And being a VMP doesn’t make this dichotomy of the “sold out time” and my rejection time any easier.
@FreePasta And I should say I never see the test for non-IRK items. Only for IRKs. This time most sold to 3 counties in only 2 states according to the sales map.
@j2 it would have been faster to click on every square than to figure out where the crosswalk was in the craptcha. Sounds like you’re in a busy neighborhood!
@chasity_boyce@commonhero I noticed quite recently that on an older work computer, the time is actually off by a couple seconds, despite making sure system time is in sync with internet/atomic time. I’ve had way more luck on my phone than on actual computers.
@IndifferentDude@lichme Never underestimate how much junk is just lying around in any given place. With spring cleaning, expect way kookier things in your IRK.

Damn you captcha
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@mediocrebot Fair.
/giphy gabby-odd-squirrel
50? No wonder I missed it.
Had it been 100, I’d have gotten one.
@FreePasta Of this I am sure…
Dang - I KNEW it was coming and was ready and then clicked the Meh button instead. Then it was death by c@ptch@
Good! I didn’t get one!
/giphy happy
@Kyser_Soze THAT’s the spirit!
Holy carp! How could it possibly sell out while I was playing the picture clicking game? That is so unusual.
/giphy lone-best-leg
@lichme Well, that doesn’t look very comfortable!
@lichme @mehcuda67
/giphy or does it
@mehcuda67 It’s actually more spacious then it seems, looks to be about 10 feet

FINALLY! I can sleep now

Maybe next time…
Damn capcha
I AM NOT A ROBOT!!!
There is no spoon.
/giphy forked-unguarded-squid
I really am not a robot.
Palm trees. Why did it have to be palm trees?
@heartny I got lucky. Mine was a giant school bus with no question as to which blocks it was occupying.
Score! Got it.
/giphy sizable-dainty-wax
@boc good to know you’re not a bot like some of these undercover robots
Only 50-give me a break
@Felton10
/giphy gimme a break
/giphy olden-enormous-templar
That captcha…
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
/giphy gleaming-chubby-gnome
Got it! Now I’m going to bed so I can finish my taxes in the morning.
Damnit… scrolling down too fast and wiped out my credit card info. Second that’s happened
25 seconds with a capcha and it’s still sold out?
Man, I should to build my own ML bot. You can’t click that fast unless you’ve got a bot.
@Evansdoor
Not everybody gets a c@ptcha test.
Some people click the box and are automatically verified.

@Evansdoor
My point is, while c@ptcha comes up for the IRKs, some people get instant validation (myself included).
It doesn’t guarantee a purchase, but it makes things easier.
Nice. Crosswalks. Not that you can even see them in the picture. Sigh.
@eVil Crosswalk? Wouldn’t that just every picture showing street? It is in my neighborhood!
@j2 it would have been faster to click on every square than to figure out where the crosswalk was in the craptcha. Sounds like you’re in a busy neighborhood!
Holy cow! 2 irks in a row now (and one the first one in this mehrathon)! My wife is gonna kill me…

Irritating man… literally hit Buy so fast and already sold out. Is there 1 ? Is that the gig?
@chasity_boyce
There were 50.
@chasity_boyce is your ISP also meh?
@commonhero i don’t know what that means? Sorry, just a paramedic tryna score one of these things for the past few years
@chasity_boyce @commonhero I noticed quite recently that on an older work computer, the time is actually off by a couple seconds, despite making sure system time is in sync with internet/atomic time. I’ve had way more luck on my phone than on actual computers.
@commonhero @shiranissosexy im on my iphone; it’s new with great service. I think I was through the captcha etc within like 12 seconds. Still sold out…
Victory!
Nope. Same old shitty internet signal, different day.
Only 50?? Guess they’ll be lotsa offerings then today. Maybe even 5-in-a-row like on April Fools Day during Meh-mbers Hour??
@IndifferentDude Or maybe fewer because of how often they are doing them recently.
@IndifferentDude @lichme Never underestimate how much junk is just lying around in any given place. With spring cleaning, expect way kookier things in your IRK.
Crap. I was on the powerbank page, not main page. Lost precious seconds.
NO captcha still missed it
/giphy no luck
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ಠ_ಠ
/eightball is it rigged?
Outlook good
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@sasantosh well with only 50 most people will miss them, especially if they have high internet latency (well or get crosswalks, etc,).
@Kidsandliz Yeah I found that out. But wanted to test the slash (/) code.
Wait wait wait…the graphic for “who’s buying this stuff” shows North Dakota as one of the two “biggies”. Really?
@eeterrific It’s by percent population.
