Well the webpage is having problems for sure. Got a first: We are busy processing orders. Try again later. Then even though the no robot box was checked told me I couldn’t by because i was a robot. Then got the robot thing expired. Checked again, then was told I can’t buy if I was a robot. Checked box again and then finally told me it was sold out. Please fix whatever the problem is!
@OnionSoup Yeah I got this three times and had to recheck the box each time as then it said it was expired. I think they have some problems on their website.
@OnionSoup That can happen for a couple reasons. One, you clicked the green button before the checkmark animation was complete. Two, it could have timed out and you tried again by clicking the green button without refreshing the page and clicking the “I’m not a robot” checkbox all over again.
@sammydog01 it had completed captcha before I hit buy. The captcha appeared before my address information. I clicked not a robot, then the rest of the page appeared and I clicked buy.
I suspect the problem is because the page loaded out of order.
@cengland0 neither of those occurred. But as said above, it did load out of order. Captcha appeared and was completed before it loaded things like the address, etc.
@OnionSoup@sammydog01 I had the out of order loading last time but not this time. When that happened I had to click not a robot twice (eg the second time after it loaded). This time one of the times I did time out but I didn’t need to refresh as the robot button was unclicked with a message it had expired. Then I clicked again and clicked buy and got the repeatedly loading green bar. The entire page is loading far more slowly than it has for a long time in the past with irks. I am thinking they have some sort of problem on their end.
@Kidsandliz when I tried a second time I got the more complicated click the picture robot check. I suspect I will every time now. Once you get that once you always get it.
@Kidsandliz@OnionSoup I would guess the problem is that they’re offering half the usual number of Irks per sale and there is probably more traffic than usual because it’s their birthday. Unless you’re a fan of the Vestibule of Patience over at Woot this is probably just the way it goes.
Huh I’ve missed a lot of IRKS but never had the site just totally hang like that and even got the “servers busy keep trying later” message upon trying to buy it. Site must be getting hammered way more than usual!
@cengland0 lol yeah like I said… missed a lot of irks. Its just usually still a very smooth process. This was all janked up. Guess I’ve just had good luck!
So if robots have artificial intelligence… And we’re incorrectly accused by meh of being robots… Does that mean we are artificial artificial intelligence.
The double negatives cancel each other out. We’re just naked intelligence.
@OnionSoup No. That would make you false artificial intelligence. Which means your intelligence is either not artificial or not intelligence. I’ll let you decide which.
Dammit, two captchas, a whole lot of green bars, an error message about my payment method (nothing wrong with it), another captcha, more green bars, then SOLD OUT.
Tried on the computer, green bar just kept scrolling, but yet the signing up for a member apparently processed, so used my phone and IRK went through almost instantly, then I got the “these are selling fast” message on the computer.
/ I mean, uh yeah, I pay tax too when filing my income taxes I correctly list all online purchases like a good citizen but I don’t have the pleasure when buying direct on meh.
@Octomeh@OnionSoup If the company has an employee in a particular state people making purchases who also live in that state have to pay taxes on their purchases when they buy something here.
What the Fuck meh? This is bullshit, 3 times already, I made sure I was ready, waited till the last second, refreshed the page and all of a sudden the site can’t be reached, then another time I actually clicked on time but the buy it bar kept filling up about 10 times to tell me at the end that it was sold out, and the first one the fucking I’m not a robot shit took so long to figure it out that of course it was sold out by the time it did, what’s up with this shit?
Sometimes it was 200 IRKs per time. Last time is was down to 100. Now on this crap-a-thon it is down to 50 a shot. Is meh spreading its crap too thin? BTW-green bar did its thing 3 times before it said I got one so you never know. Always like to go backwards to the meh page to see how many clicked on the deal before me. Mine said 51 so depends on who got to the buy button faster was certainly near enough to the 50 available for sale to snag one.
Even not on the irks the page is taking gazillion seconds to load and then once it is loaded and we can all see it is a t-shirt the click face meh button spins forever. Must be a server or other ‘their end’ kind of problem. Hope they fix it before the day is out.
Hi I’m Frank and I’m addicted to meh… I have a question is there a limit irks? Like you have to wait x days before you are able to get another? Asking for a friend…
@OnionSoup Thank you for the info!! Wonder if todays counts for tomorrows as well? Again asking for a homeless friend… He is sad and needs something to look forward too.
@Kidsandliz@OnionSoup@RiotDemon@sammydog01 most fair!! Thank you for the info. Now im trying to get all my co workers, I mean co-homeless to get them… so we can have an irk opening party… wish us luck…
@frankthehobo@OnionSoup@RiotDemon@sammydog01 I got the one per meh day due to all the announcements that people can only buy one per 24 hour period when multiple have been offered. And RiotDemon confirmed this.
I got one, I got one, I got one! And then the stomach-clenching feeling when I hear a “tinkle” of broken porcelain as I pick the box up off my porch.
Laughing Squid Tshirt - I’ve always wanted one of these!
Rocket RC Levicopter - like sporach said, wrapped like an xmas gift.
Asobu Porcelain Jewell Mug - handle broken off into several pieces. I don’t want to complain, but damn, that was a cool looking mug
Palm Coolers Tie-Down kit - which I can use for… …something!
IRK bag
Busy - Busy - Busy - Captcha Expired - Busy - Sold Out
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
@lichme Same sequence here. Pffff.
A whole bunch of green bars, one Not a Robot, more green bars, and then Sold Out. But she persists.
Well the webpage is having problems for sure. Got a first: We are busy processing orders. Try again later. Then even though the no robot box was checked told me I couldn’t by because i was a robot. Then got the robot thing expired. Checked again, then was told I can’t buy if I was a robot. Checked box again and then finally told me it was sold out. Please fix whatever the problem is!
@Kidsandliz I finally got one even though it took forever…sorry you didn’t get one though
@AttyVette Well glad you got one.
Wow I think Meh is using Woots old servers now.
@arbdef and their Vestibule of Patience to delay informing you that it has already sold out.
@rtjhnstn and tomorrow we will learn the great news that amazon has bought meh and we will all rejoice.
After the bar loaded 4 times, it would tell me that orders were going too fast, and to try again.
Had to repeatedly exit the checkout page and try again.
After 5 times of doing this, it sold out.
6 years?!? All this time and I never once scored a fuku or IRK. Sigh…
@canneddirt Consider yourself one of the lucky ones then.
@canneddirt then I wish you best of luck and may the speed of an eagle grace your fingertips today.
IRK arrived! Contents:
Very varied collection of stuff, interested to see what the dogs make of the 'copter!
Yes!
/image literal-decorative-voice
/giphy judicious-handy-llama
Wow… almost got it, then got a timeout of the ‘Not a Robot’ verification. The ONE time I almost got it, I get cheated. Ah well. Maybe someday.
timed out… go suck it…
mutter, mumble, blame…
@OnionSoup wears socks with sandals.
Meh, your software is buggy.
Clearly I had passed the Captcha but it thought I hadn’t for some reason.
@OnionSoup Yeah I got this three times and had to recheck the box each time as then it said it was expired. I think they have some problems on their website.
@OnionSoup I’ve had it where I hit the buy button before the check mark completed on the captcha and got that screen.
Please realize CAPTCHA is a fellow robot like you.
@OnionSoup That can happen for a couple reasons. One, you clicked the green button before the checkmark animation was complete. Two, it could have timed out and you tried again by clicking the green button without refreshing the page and clicking the “I’m not a robot” checkbox all over again.
@sammydog01 it had completed captcha before I hit buy. The captcha appeared before my address information. I clicked not a robot, then the rest of the page appeared and I clicked buy.
I suspect the problem is because the page loaded out of order.
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
@cengland0 neither of those occurred. But as said above, it did load out of order. Captcha appeared and was completed before it loaded things like the address, etc.
I’m not too mad. Have to use phone, can’t use PC today. I have never got an IRK when using a phone. Too much latency.
My expectations have been low with each IRK today.
@OnionSoup @sammydog01 I had the out of order loading last time but not this time. When that happened I had to click not a robot twice (eg the second time after it loaded). This time one of the times I did time out but I didn’t need to refresh as the robot button was unclicked with a message it had expired. Then I clicked again and clicked buy and got the repeatedly loading green bar. The entire page is loading far more slowly than it has for a long time in the past with irks. I am thinking they have some sort of problem on their end.
@Kidsandliz when I tried a second time I got the more complicated click the picture robot check. I suspect I will every time now. Once you get that once you always get it.
Today won’t be an irk day for me for sure.
@Kidsandliz @OnionSoup I would guess the problem is that they’re offering half the usual number of Irks per sale and there is probably more traffic than usual because it’s their birthday. Unless you’re a fan of the Vestibule of Patience over at Woot this is probably just the way it goes.
Finally—after forever —at least it seems like forever
Huh I’ve missed a lot of IRKS but never had the site just totally hang like that and even got the “servers busy keep trying later” message upon trying to buy it. Site must be getting hammered way more than usual!
@zachary Or had a glitch.
@Zachary Are you new here? Oh, I see a “K”, never mind.
@cengland0 lol yeah like I said… missed a lot of irks. Its just usually still a very smooth process. This was all janked up. Guess I’ve just had good luck!

So if robots have artificial intelligence… And we’re incorrectly accused by meh of being robots… Does that mean we are artificial artificial intelligence.

@OnionSoup never thought of it like that, my mind is blown
@OnionSoup No. That would make you false artificial intelligence. Which means your intelligence is either not artificial or not intelligence. I’ll let you decide which.
@OnionSoup @truquito If you are naked you’d better buy some of the t-shirts they are selling today.
@warpedrotors that’s probably more true.
@Kidsandliz @truquito t-shirt and bandana right now. Anyone know if a bandana can be repurposed as a loin cloth?

fuck you yet again meh! On my screen and yet I missed the launch somehow.
My second successful purchase of this wonderful instant regret kit.
@adrostad Do you already regret it?
@cengland0 it was instant.
Gah shipping option got me. Didn’t notice it doesn’t default to standard.
/giphy corny-exemplary-osprey
@aaee did you know that corn on the cob always has an even number of kernels?
Well… They do.
Useful information.
@aaee @OnionSoup so glad to know that my teeth are all getting the same amount, no more fighting in my mouth, yay
/giphy neat-forlorn-saffron
Dammit, two captchas, a whole lot of green bars, an error message about my payment method (nothing wrong with it), another captcha, more green bars, then SOLD OUT.
Not gonna lie. I’m rather pissed.
Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@mediocrebot except I didn’t fail the Captcha. It “expired” and I had to do it again.
I’m gonna put a screen recording app on for the next Irk I go for so you can see what we see.
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
@lyoness @mediocrebot Mine expired too. Twice.
Tried on the computer, green bar just kept scrolling, but yet the signing up for a member apparently processed, so used my phone and IRK went through almost instantly, then I got the “these are selling fast” message on the computer.
/giphy factual-juicy-roll
@MrMark ummmm welll…
Sigh, Robot.
What kind of fresh fucked up software hell is this!?
Proof is not proof.
@Octomeh Several of us have gotten this, repeatedly. Site must be screwed up somehow.
@Kidsandliz Hell, I’m not that pissed off. More bummed no one dug my Ray Bradbury Regret pun.
@Octomeh you have to pay tax on meh purchases?
What sick twisted world is this?
/ I mean, uh yeah, I pay tax too when filing my income taxes I correctly list all online purchases like a good citizen but I don’t have the pleasure when buying direct on meh.
A NY thing maybe? @OnionSoup
@Octomeh @OnionSoup If the company has an employee in a particular state people making purchases who also live in that state have to pay taxes on their purchases when they buy something here.
Of course…
What the Fuck meh? This is bullshit, 3 times already, I made sure I was ready, waited till the last second, refreshed the page and all of a sudden the site can’t be reached, then another time I actually clicked on time but the buy it bar kept filling up about 10 times to tell me at the end that it was sold out, and the first one the fucking I’m not a robot shit took so long to figure it out that of course it was sold out by the time it did, what’s up with this shit?
Wow, but they still managed to charge me a membership fee even with the hang.
@captmeach7
You can cancel now and get a full refund, or you can keep it, save time on shipping later, and if you don’t get one today, cancel for a full refund.
So frustrating.
The page kinda hung when trying to load.
Got to checkout, major green bars then I was told my CAPTCHA expired? Can I BECOME a robot if I was not one initially, so confused.
Re-capthcha’ed to check out. Major green bars. Servers are busy try again
Re-captcha’ed again. Sold out.
Guess it was not meant to be!
/giphy I am not a robot
How certain are you of that?
Is there a waiting period for these things if I bought one recently?
I’ve never seen them offered so close together.
@musmagic
No; just one per Mehrathon day.
@musmagic nope, no waiting period, you can get as many as they allow you to, I feel like that’s how they stop you, with all the fu(!<ing glitches
IRK=Instant Regret Kit. Well named because most of us instantly regret we did not get the kit.
/giphy irk
Sometimes it was 200 IRKs per time. Last time is was down to 100. Now on this crap-a-thon it is down to 50 a shot. Is meh spreading its crap too thin? BTW-green bar did its thing 3 times before it said I got one so you never know. Always like to go backwards to the meh page to see how many clicked on the deal before me. Mine said 51 so depends on who got to the buy button faster was certainly near enough to the 50 available for sale to snag one.
@Felton10
49 this time, unless it was 50 and somebody cancelled.
@Felton10 documented above my robot fail, but when I tried a second time the green bar swished at least a dozen times before it said I failed.
Even not on the irks the page is taking gazillion seconds to load and then once it is loaded and we can all see it is a t-shirt the click face meh button spins forever. Must be a server or other ‘their end’ kind of problem. Hope they fix it before the day is out.
@Kidsandliz they’re outsourcing their servers to Pitney Bowes
Hi I’m Frank and I’m addicted to meh… I have a question is there a limit irks? Like you have to wait x days before you are able to get another? Asking for a friend…
@frankthehobo personally I think there should be one, to spread the love/regret… But there isn’t. Just one per mehrathon.
@OnionSoup Thank you for the info!! Wonder if todays counts for tomorrows as well? Again asking for a homeless friend… He is sad and needs something to look forward too.
@frankthehobo @OnionSoup It is one in per meh"day". And we don’t know if they will repeat this tomorrow.
@frankthehobo @Kidsandliz @OnionSoup Where did you get the one per meh day? I have never seen that as a thing. Maybe let @RiotDemon answer that?
@frankthehobo @Kidsandliz have they ever done a two day mehrathon? I know woot has had two day wootoffs.
Maybe my memory is a bad but I don’t remember a mehrathon ever lasting two days
@Kidsandliz @OnionSoup I do not know they did not do one last year.
@frankthehobo @Kidsandliz @OnionSoup @sammydog01 you can’t buy more than one on the day.
@frankthehobo @Kidsandliz @OnionSoup @RiotDemon Next question- is today it for Irks?
@frankthehobo @Kidsandliz @OnionSoup @sammydog01
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@frankthehobo @Kidsandliz @RiotDemon @sammydog01
Surely not. They usually spread them out so the morning crowd, the afternoon crowd, and evening crowd have a chance to get one.
I think there are plenty more coming.
@Kidsandliz @OnionSoup @RiotDemon @sammydog01 most fair!! Thank you for the info. Now im trying to get all my co workers, I mean co-homeless to get them… so we can have an irk opening party… wish us luck…
@frankthehobo @Kidsandliz @OnionSoup @RiotDemon I meant are there some coming tomorrow on their actual birthday. Or will it be an entire day of putty. (I’m hoping for putty.)
@frankthehobo @OnionSoup @RiotDemon @sammydog01 I got the one per meh day due to all the announcements that people can only buy one per 24 hour period when multiple have been offered. And RiotDemon confirmed this.
Mine says it was shipped today. Something like 1lb. In a 6x4x1 inch box… instant regret!!
@frankthehobo Mine also shipped Wednesday, says it’s supposed to get here tomorrow (Saturday) via FedEx. Same dimensions/weight as you. We shall see!
I got one, I got one, I got one! And then the stomach-clenching feeling when I hear a “tinkle” of broken porcelain as I pick the box up off my porch.
