I must say, I do like fewer IRK events, with more IRKs offered per each event. And I’m not just saying 'cause I got mine. Saying 'cause there’s a better chance each time of getting one. When they only offer 21, then there’s so little chance, and none at all if anything happens–slow reload, internet hiccup, etc.
What I’ve always wondered is, why bother to put a 20-minute timer on these, when a 5-minute one would MORE than suffice? Heck, even a 1-minute would still be plenty long, usually. But give it some padding, just in case everyone’s servers/internet providers/computers all imploded at the same moment and nobody could actually click on buy and score one 'til things got rebooted.
@tomdina And he keeps vanishing intermittently, too. Dunno what’s up with that. Do they have a bot watching for access coming from MeatJeff’s IP space, and ducking Bozos into a closet until they’re gone again?
Hey kind people, can someone tell me how to insert a gif with purchase order reference. I know how to get the gif but I get an error that “Chrome doesn’t support image insertion”. NOTE: Before all you verified smart asses jump in re:Chrome and insertions just STOP please and answer the question… then of course, carry-on
@ladyhawke001 and if you don’t like the gif it gives you just click edit and save. It usually goes to a different one. So you may have to try a few times if you want something you like or makes sense.
So I’m thinking, if Meh celebrates April Fool’s in true Meh fashion I can see this going in one hilarious direction. Fools be warned! Meh have Mehrcy on me
So here’s just a general question, in case anyone has some answers or speculation for it. So I noticed we didn’t have any mehrathons in January, February, or March. Does anyone know why? Mehrathons aren’t necessarily guaranteed each month but I’ve been a little surprised to see them go so long without one
@cengland0
Yeah at 2 in the morning? I was sleeping, I stayed up till the item before that (timer was an hour). So I got up at 7 and surprised there hasn’t been any this morning. I’m sure they all be while I’m in dr appointments with my father or driving.
@SylvreKat
The mehrathon started about 8 hours ago… and we’re only on item number 5 or 6? I didn’t see it either, but I’m guessing meh crawled through the night with a very slow timer on a couple of items and either just fixed it, or they"fixed" it.
If so, I’ll be doing something else. Hemp is just a buzzword now, not even a useful kind of fiber anymore. It’s stamped on things to make them sell to gullible people, even when the hemp content is near zero, and is generally present merely as a token or a filler with no actual active capability whatsoever.
Relatively new to meh, but I got my IRK (which when first looking at them I didnt think I would ever buy until I saw all the hype about them in the forums and fomo hit me like a truck), those LED strip lights, and some earbuds. Im happy with the results of today
(New to meh as in I signed up in 2014, but only rediscovered it and actually started using it recently)
With the first item being 20 minutes long, I can tell that sitting on the toilet is going to be more exciting than this mehrathon.
@Felton10 mt husband suggested watching a movie called the Game starring Michael Douglas. 20 minutes of moustaches is more exciting
@mbersiam you can go back to watching the movie-I am going to bed.
Oof. Goodnight, west coasters. See ya at 6am ET.
Brace for disappointment!

Second item one hour??
I guess they’re a little rusty at this Meh-rathon thing.

@SylvreKat It could be one minute!
@SylvreKat I think the extra time is for people to participate in the forum before the next product appears.
@SylvreKat supply chain shortages; even Meh is running out of crap to sell.
@SylvreKat Taunting customers is a core Meh value.
@blaineg @SylvreKat
I was excited until I saw the timers lol
I think this might be the best April Fool’s prank in the history of droughts!
@ladyhawke001
And I listened to that damn song that will stick in my head for the next few days - brilliant Meh lol
Koolhandjoe looks suspiciously like Jeff Bezos cosplaying a clown.
@tomdina That’s Jeff Bozos.
@tomdina
I came here just to say that.

This site takes a long time (over 30 seconds) to load on a normal day, when it’s an IRK it just hangs, then:

@ladyhawke001 you need to type / giphy (without the space) then your order number
/giphy order number
@ladyhawke001 You type on one line:
/giphy then a space and then your order number
@ladyhawke001 And you can click edit over and over again for up to 5 minutes to get different gifs.
@ladyhawke001 and if you don’t like the gif it gives you just click edit and save. It usually goes to a different one. So you may have to try a few times if you want something you like or makes sense.
@ladyhawke001 @remo28
What remo said.
@Kyeh @remo28 Thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you! Ear buds on me
@Kyeh @ladyhawke001 @remo28 Or you can do /image to get a static picture. Or both.
All the / commands have to be at the start of a line.
/image magic 8 ball

Anyone else noticed the Timer ?
So here’s just a general question, in case anyone has some answers or speculation for it. So I noticed we didn’t have any mehrathons in January, February, or March. Does anyone know why? Mehrathons aren’t necessarily guaranteed each month but I’ve been a little surprised to see them go so long without one
I got up early bc I have shit to do today but clearly the joke is on me! WTF they always have irks by now.
@Star2236 There was one already so you probably missed it.
@cengland0
Yeah at 2 in the morning? I was sleeping, I stayed up till the item before that (timer was an hour). So I got up at 7 and surprised there hasn’t been any this morning. I’m sure they all be while I’m in dr appointments with my father or driving.
@Star2236 Actually 1:20 am eastern, 12:20 am central, 11:20 pm mountain and 10:20 pm pacific.
I’m eastern time and haven’t gone to bed yet. I’ve taken a couple naps after setting my alarm to wake me up before the next product.
Your ability to score an IRK sometimes depends on your dedication and ability to function all day without any sleep.
@cengland0
To many things to do today that Ive already missed once bc of no sleep.
@Star2236 I suppose the phrase, “You snooze, you lose” is really appropriate here.
@cengland0 @Star2236 And 'Kat reflexes. Yay!
Wonder if someone’s out there un/intentionally DDOS’ing the site trying to get an IRK
@j_talbain Russian hackers at it again.
what about the Timer? 'Cause for real, I haven’t noticed anything
I had told myself I would save $5 a month if there wasn’t a Mehrathon this week.
@SylvreKat
The mehrathon started about 8 hours ago… and we’re only on item number 5 or 6? I didn’t see it either, but I’m guessing meh crawled through the night with a very slow timer on a couple of items and either just fixed it, or they"fixed" it.
@snotbottom @SylvreKat
@snotbottom @SylvreKat I know that the masks ran for over an hour and a half.
@SylvreKat I will admit that I’d only seen two items when I posted that. So I had no history to compare to.
But yeah, the current one’s going for an hour? Gadzooks.
MEH you suck. I missed another IRK. I couldn’t be faster if I was MFing Superman!
I should have known this was going to happen today! Now I’m late to the party!
Kinda sad mehmber’s hour. Only three items? Granted one was an IRK but still…
@duodec an irk that was sold out in 20 seconds!
@mehrrychristmas That part is normal. The extended wait time for the next item is kinda sad.
@duodec @mehrrychristmas 20 seconds is a very long time for an IRK.
Probably the worst VMP hour ever.
@mehrrychristmas Maybe they’tr trying to shed remaining VMPs and mehmbers
@mehrrychristmas you think this one is bad?
Wait till 4-20, possibly a hempvana-rathon
@lonocat @mehrrychristmas

FOUND IT
Relatively new to meh, but I got my IRK (which when first looking at them I didnt think I would ever buy until I saw all the hype about them in the forums and fomo hit me like a truck), those LED strip lights, and some earbuds. Im happy with the results of today

@Vitanima Why would you buy an IRK?
@Vitanima
I come and go as well. I’ve struck out on IRKs for about 6 months but was finally able to snag one. Be sure to post a pic of what your IRK contains!!
It’s astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer…
Did the Mehrathon break yet again?
