@OnionSoup I think they mentioned something along the lines of the server/system instantly deciding whether or not you’re going to get one the second you click “buy,” and then that group of people competes for for the actual purchases via captchas.
So you can be the absolutely first person to go through the process and still lose.
I reacted very quickly to this one as well, and still lost.
@muffnman Nice. Mine has shipped as well. Can’t tell the shipping weight or anything yet though, looks like it’s being shipped via Pitney Bowes to USPS, so I have to wait for USPS to get it in order to get the info.
I could have ridden a bicycle to texas, picked up my box of garbage, thrown it away, and ridden back to minnesota by now. I hope nobody is getting medication shipped via Pitney Bowes
Came today, a sheet set (Full size), 2 AA batteries, a cooling towel and poo bag refills for a retractable dog leash (Dog leash not included… but batteries were…)
Failed because it asked for a crosswalk but also apparently wanted the solid white line where the cars are supposed to stop beforehand. These captchas suck.
Hey meh… My father and I have the same name besides Sr and Jr. He bought an irk earlier today and your automated system is saying I can’t buy one because I supposedly already bought one. Different address, different card, different person!
May be time to resign myself to the fact that I’m not getting one this round. My internet is too slow. By time the page loads and I finish captcha, they’re sold out.
Wonder why so many seem to get a captcha?? I only seem to get an “I’m not a robot” check box. Weird! Hope the captcha keeps avoiding me so I can keep my streak going; have now scored 3 in a row!! (April Fool’s, Tax Day, and Today!). Keep the regret flowing!!
/giphy lucky me
Congrats to the losers
Condolences to the winners
@duodec Well said, well said.
/giphy OOPS, SORRY. WE’RE SOLD OUT.
@Kyser_Soze That captures the felling perfectly.
/giphy FUCK
Damn. Fuck. Shit.
Why do I only ever get those useless Captchas on IRKs? Dumb. Everything.
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
Got one at last!
/giphy talented-fearing-slug
Fuck you yet again Meh! Everytime I step away to do some work I come back right as the IRK has started and is gone.
Give some love to the VMP… Maybe a VMP only IRK? Seems to be the only time in years I can get one.
@jayman007 Ditto! I step away after garbage upon garbage. Check my phone while I’m outside and that takes too long. Missed it yet again.
@jayman007 there was a VMP only IRK earlier.
@TuffGong fuck fuck fuckidy fuck
@jayman007 @TuffGong
I didn’t see it, and I’ve been monitoring the Mehrathon pretty much since it started.
I also didn’t see any on Mehstalker which I missed.
Why oh WHY am I still even trying?!
@Lynnerizer because you might get lucky? Or you are a hopeless optimist? (grin).
@Kidsandliz
Depends on the day, the hour, the minute or second these days…
/giphy useless-thermal-farmer
Third times the charm even with captcha
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
Refreshed is the timer ticked over, bought immediately, already sold out.
You fuckers are too fuckin fast…
Fuckers.
FFFFFFFFFFFG
I’m stunned!
And I thought I was a robot.
/giphy voidable-united-arm
Dammit all to hell!!! Wanted new card and captcha! Wtf I have been. Buying crap all day!
I installed CAPTCHA to save my fellow robots from wasting money on this crap.
Been missing them all day, just checking at the wrong times and finally I got one it was a close call
My first one!! tender-ferocious-sound
I am really bad at these today, normally I can snag one but just wow. I can only laugh at this point.
@seraphimcaduto starting to realize that i will never get one. But yet i buy crap upon crap, im one of the suckers born every minute
@seraphimcaduto @tjg5181 That is their plan. I am a sucker just like you. Keep buying crap after crap waiting for an IRK.
Fricking Captcha.
Yay! I did it!
death by captcha
Damn… I click the moment it comes up, captcha, buy… and still too slow.
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
Nailed one! sat down it popped up and Toot Toot got one.
Wow, I bought one!!!
How do you guys get the giphy image so fast? Teach me what you know.
@MeatyYoker
Start a line with “/giphy”, followed by the words.
@tim878 Ahhhh, ok that’s how its done.

Once again missed another. I’ve been there instantly 3 times… I just cannot win one to save my life.

You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
WTH THREE MONTHS IN A ROW!!!
damn you captcha, missed 4 in a row!!!
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
Last months shipped, time for a new one!
/giphy mushy-misguided-afternoon
Dammit, I’m not a frigging robot. I got in, had to verify TWICE. Picked traffic lights, picked bicycles, and then SOLD OUT.
@lyoness I got that one too. It said I hadn’t gotten all the bicycles when I didn’t also click on the motorcycle!!!
/giphy polarizing-frosted-face
… But is it under a mask?
@muffnman I didn’t know polar bears could be managers.
I was too invested in the story’s sudden turn and missed it.
Can’t believe ive spent all day on meh and got nowhere… Oh well. I got one last month and it should arrive by June.
Missed once again. I’m beginning to think there’s only one, there can be only one
It was tough today, but finally got one.
/giphy downy-painstaking-attack
Somehow I got one so you can too.
/giphy hit-by-lightning
Looks like mine finally shipped. Tracking shows weight at 6 lbs. 14 oz.
It’s a…bo----x of regret!
/giphy its-a-box
@muffnman Nice. Mine has shipped as well. Can’t tell the shipping weight or anything yet though, looks like it’s being shipped via Pitney Bowes to USPS, so I have to wait for USPS to get it in order to get the info.
I’m already disappointed.
Looks like my IRK is in Indiana at a Pitney Bowes facility since the 6th. Is that normal?
@joe43wv same
@joe43wv Pitney Bowes has swallowed my IRK and they’re digesting it now
@joe43wv Same for me, still.
I could have ridden a bicycle to texas, picked up my box of garbage, thrown it away, and ridden back to minnesota by now. I hope nobody is getting medication shipped via Pitney Bowes
@joe43wv @Superllama7 I’m thinking this may be a lost cause. Been a week and no update from Pitney Bowes. Bummer.
Came today, a sheet set (Full size), 2 AA batteries, a cooling towel and poo bag refills for a retractable dog leash (Dog leash not included… but batteries were…)
Sheet set (queen), 2x AA batteries, Jessica Simpson hoop earring things, chalk name tags, cooling towel - yep. Instant regret.
Got mine today. Feeling “meh” about it:
Specs
What’s in the Box?
It is a mystery ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Price Comparison
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Warranty
Throw it in the trash
Estimated Delivery
Monday, August 24th - Friday, August 28th
/giphy hazy-delirious-game
@osfish That pretty much sums it up for me.
Scored!
Finally got through without it telling me it’s sold out!!! Captcha ain’t got shit on me!!!
denied again. checked the box, pushed the button…green bar once, green bar twice, then Sold Out.
YESSSSSS!
/giphy taunting-debonair-asiago

Captcha again -
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
Six try again before it finally told me nope.
Failed because it asked for a crosswalk but also apparently wanted the solid white line where the cars are supposed to stop beforehand. These captchas suck.
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@mediocrebot Nah, if it was a captcha using English I would have failed that too.
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
/giphy questionable-spotless-water
Thought I was going to miss it today.
/giphy gifted-awkward-asiago
How? How the heck are you people so fast. Feels like shenanigans.
Got one. Now I wait for the regret.
And there it is.
/giphy portly-theatrical-loris
Hey meh… My father and I have the same name besides Sr and Jr. He bought an irk earlier today and your automated system is saying I can’t buy one because I supposedly already bought one. Different address, different card, different person!
@thecloudy
Dumb question:
There’s no order in your order history?
https://meh.com/orders
@tim878 nope. Just something I bought awhile back
@thumperchick @dave
/giphy gargantuan-fixed-rattlesnake
/giphy prosperous-ambitious-talk
Well, excited for September!
@isz Man, I remember listening to The Talking Heads all the time.
I like how most everything else is like 1:45 but irks are about 7 minutes for us to stew over our rage about missing out.
Everything.
@tweezak yeah a 30 sec IRK is more than enough time. They seem to sell out in about 10 secs.
@mediocrebot Not everything.
Everything.
@mediocrebot Not everything.
Everything.
@mediocrebot Not everything.
Everything.
The image looks stuff you’d find in a backyard distillery. I’m so down.
I don’t know how I did it but I got one.
Maybe the countdown timer on the IRK should only be 15 seconds
@Distantsoil Maybe they are using it as a pee break.
Woohoo! Got one.
/giphy bald-woeful-hook
Finally got one this time! Take that captcha!
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
May be time to resign myself to the fact that I’m not getting one this round. My internet is too slow. By time the page loads and I finish captcha, they’re sold out.
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
I’m definitely not getting one today. Darn it
/buy
@ecanada Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
@ecanada @mediocrebot … bullet dodged.
@mediocrebot @SteelMan774
Is there an interval at which they are releasing irks that I’m oblivious to!?
@WordEGirl
Not this time.
/buy lol
@vista7 Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
/giphy sad depressed despondent
/buy buy birdie
@thechinglish Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
@mediocrebot yes I know it was a joke you robot dingus
