@stolicat I’m on a laptop and I am being presented with the pictures every time, and I never seem to pass the first time. I guess those that keep winning the IRK have figured it out.
@jayman007@stolicat I’m on mobile and rarely get anything but the checkbox. Although I’m no expert, I think actually clicking through and instantly clicking the box too fast is what sets it off. I mean, if you are fast enough to seem like a bot/script then it’s likely setting it off, as intended. So I’ve been trying to actually slow down, or at least smooth out, my actions. I wait for the full page to load then scroll down to the captcha box, click it, then fully wait for it to finish then hit the order button. I mean, it’s still pretty quick process but definitely a bit slower/smoother than my previous twitchy anxious speed throughs and it seems to help. Or I just get lucky, I’m not sure lol.
I rarely get the pics any more. I have a google account (an old one), my browser always has a tab that is logged into a google service, and I use a fair number of other websites that use google robot checks. Every couple of weeks one of those will pop pictures. I think I’m a known/trusted account so get flagged less often for checks.
I expect its luck that none of those infrequent checks has hit on a Fuko or IRK buy in the last couple of years.
Happy I got one, the only thing that would be better is if I could have used my $5.00 coupon/Credit from a month ago when my order got canceled due to an inventory error. Happy to have gotten one, I’ll find something to spend the 5 on.
Got one! Normally they sell 1000 or so IRKs every Meh-rathon. Traditionally, they sell these 4 times a day, selling 250 each time. It seems that they are breaking it apart into 10 bundles of 100 this time. A lot more opportunities to grab one, but you have to move much faster than usual as well.
Let me soften the blow of not getting one. I got one from last month in the mail today. Too bad Meh doesn’t offer refunds on the IRK. Oh well, it was fun playing.!
Black bag (cool enough)
Blue pair of leggings
Pink hair band
Lens cleaner
AND… FRUIT themed kitchen cushion mat !!!
Granny just scored big time. LOL !! I’m sure she’ll love it.
I got my shipment today! This was my first time getting an IRK or BOC. I like the cloth bag a lot. I also got: 20 microfiber rags, heated wrap, firming stuff for ur face, shampoo massager, and fabric steamer. I hope I don’t even get more regret when my wife see this!

effing captcha.
fire hydrants???
I installed CAPTCHA to save my fellow robots from wasting money on this crap.
@mediocrebot everything is captcha

Yay - NOW and I can go to bed!

purple loves @barney.
How the fuck are you guys getting through that captcha soo damn fast?
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
@jayman007 I’ve heard that clicking and holding for a half second helps it think you’re a human
@jayman007 I’m not sure why it doesn’t always pop up the captcha, I just had a big checkbox with “click here to prove you’re human”.
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
@jayman007 for some reason, if you’re on a desk/laptop, not mobile, you don’t have to do the pictures, it’s just a checkbox.
@stolicat I’m on a laptop and I am being presented with the pictures every time, and I never seem to pass the first time. I guess those that keep winning the IRK have figured it out.
@jayman007 @stolicat I was on mobile and no pictures.

got one. looks like 2020 is turning around after all
I looked away and missed it
Why does am I a robot only come up when its an instant regret kit?
@SurgTechGirl so only the robots can get them.
Why can’t robots buy it?
@APDWaldo6 meh is unfair to robots!
@APDWaldo6 a purchase like this is illogical. They wouldn’t understand.
@pippakay but I’m a cyborg so I’m not all robot
Huzzah!

Yeah that didn’t last 10 seconds.
/giphy that’s-what-she-said
Hmm, how does this work?
/giphy soaked-accessible-bottle
My most recent irk from April 1st had a hair dryer that I really like. Everything else was of course very meh, as should be expected.
A couple years ago or so one of mine had a Google Home speaker, which has been awesome and I use it all the time!
Everything.
I finally got one!!!
@kerryzero Congratulations!
@ChompyGator @kerryzero
congratulations
Robot discrimination!

@SHOVAR Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
@mediocrebot once again my optimism has resulted in failure. BUT IT NEVER HURTS TO TRYYYYY
Well, looks like I don’t need to fear the Singularity after all. Got an IRK on the second try despite the best efforts of the evil CAPTCHA overlords.
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
I’m not a goddamn robot!!! I was soooo close! Stupid traffic lights! shakes fist at the sky

This was more of a delayed regret. My kit just arrived and is exclusively beauty supplies.
My IRK arrived and I am very pleased. Included was:
A Swiffer Continuous Air Cleaner
P80 Tactical Pen by TACLIGHT
Bliss&Grace 24pc Makeup Brushes
Hisy Wireless Smartphone Camera Remote
Super Cool IRK bag in B&W
Thanks Meh. Much better than my last haul and a 1000X faster!!!
I was excited to get mine and even more excited to see it was shipped but unfortunately, it got lost at the Pitney Bowes Facility in Greenwood, IN
@cory101 It may just be visiting friends temporarily. They seem to do that these days.
@cory101 I was curious so checked my status today. It’s also stuck in Greenwood, last updated June 12.
