I have absolutely no chance whatsoever of snagging an IRK if the page is gonna hang for 45 seconds every single time a new item drops. I’ve tried every single method available to me to get the page to change over properly and none of them work. This is a recent phenomenon and was not happening a few months ago. Sigh.
(Not that saving money by missing IRKs is such a bad thing.)
@PooltoyWolf Update: I’ve been sitting here for every single item changeover since midnight so far, and every single one of them has taken at a mimimum 30 seconds to register. I don’t know if this is due to an increase in site traffic or magnetic storms in my area, but the problem absolutely did not exist just a few months ago. Clarifying that I have tried every method various users have suggested to me, and none worked. I’ve even tried turning off WiFi and using data to no avail. If I didn’t know any better (and was a conspiracy theorist) I’d say this was being done to encourage purchasing IRKs on the sister site, but since none have dropped so far, that seems unlikely. Mostly I just wanted to rant about this frustrating problem and the apparent lack of a way to fix it. I guess I’ve had my fair share of IRKs in the past but it sucks to know that unless this anomaly is resolved I’ll never get another one. If you made it this far, thanks for reading my ramble.
@PooltoyWolf
Well, it’s not looking like there are any “winnable” IRKs so far (unless I missed them ) so we’re not missing out on anything. I’m lucky if my page flips in 30 seconds, last Meh-rathon it was 48 seconds almost every time!
Even though I’ve been patiently waiting for a Meh-rathon for my birthday, I wasn’t planning to spend THAT kind of money! I thought we’d kinda settled in on the sweet spot for IRKs…
I’m not really feeling this $100.00 IRK.
@k4evryng Thanks! I had a wonderful day, it was on the 11th and couldn’t have been better! After some of my family surprised me at my house I went out and had dinner with the rest of them and celebrated my mom for mother’s day too! Fun times!
@carl669
it is the ONLY gas station that people make a pilgrimage to that I can think of. Their big claim to fame (besides being a jerky mecca) is having the cleanest restrooms ANYWHERE!
Def worth a look-see if you are anywhere near one.
Typically 100 or so pumps, not a truck stop so no tractor trailers are allowed, well lit, uber clean, open 24/7, great staff (they have amazing pay and benefits) and a store the size of a good sized grocery.
@robpete Care to share what you found worth spending $200 on?? Inquiring minds would like to know as the majority of posts say they can’t find anything worth buying to justify getting the IRK.
@IndifferentDude@robpete
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
I can see if you were in the market for a vacuum or knock-off roomba there may have been some stuff that would make up the $99 quickly. Not finding anything YOU want doesn’t mean it’s all crap. It’s just all crap to YOU.
YMMV
Why does the main page take upwards of 30 seconds to update after an item changes?? surely the webdevs aren’t ramming forced paged caching down our throats?
I truly want to justify the 100.00 IRK but I have not found one single thing I want or need to balance out the cost. Looks like I will be skipping this round unless something tempting pops up.
The email from last night for day 2 of the Meh-rathon had different Irk outfits in the banner than yesterday, yet the main site gif banner was not updated.
In the past Meh-rathons where images changed, the banner was updated.
@romellexWaaaaaaaaaaaayy longer than it needs to!! Even the Geneva Convention would outlaw this torturous adventure as inhumane and not fit for use in interrogation!!
Great News Everyone who bought an IRK!! I just returned from the Future using the Time Meh-chine and was able to watch the workers in the Meh Warehouse filling your boxes!! I don’t want to let you know everything you’ll receive, but I do know 1 item EVERYONE will get (some will get more than 1 … or even a pallet-full!). So here’s an early “Congratulations” to you lucky people who will each receive … are you ready??? It’s an AR+COOK 3-In-1 Breakfast Maker!! WHOO-HOO!!
Ugh. Good thing I took a nap earlier today.
Yay!
Oh boy!
That is one spicy IRK
@seespotbark yeah, this is one i might pass on.
/youtube Let’s Do The Time Warp Again!

Classic Irk theme. Love it.

@PooltoyWolf Same here. I’m going to see if my phone maybe has better luck my desktop computer. Probably not.

@Lynnerizer Okay so it’s definitely not just me, then!
@Lynnerizer @PooltoyWolf
Sometimes I can get to the new item quicker from the forums than by using the main page.
@FreePasta @Lynnerizer I appreciate the suggestion, but it’s been made three times now and it does not work for me. >.>
@FreePasta @PooltoyWolf
Yeah I’ve tried doing that but I haven’t had any luck that way either. Thanks though!
No winnable IRKs, no watchee.
Yikes. I’m adventurous but not $99 adventurous.
@BergyD agreed, unless a $99 case of wine appears in the normal 'thon others can bask in the glory of a $99 irk
boy I hope the dorothy cold brew mixer is on sale today

hey… nudge nudge… you’re up!

I REALLY WANTED A BIRTHDAY IRK!
Even though I’ve been patiently waiting for a Meh-rathon for my birthday, I wasn’t planning to spend THAT kind of money! I thought we’d kinda settled in on the sweet spot for IRKs…
I’m not really feeling this $100.00 IRK.
@Lynnerizer Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day!
@Lynnerizer Aww, bummer - here’s a goofy kitty to cheer you up!
@Kyeh Now THAT is freaking CUTE! THANKS Kyeh!
@k4evryng Thanks! I had a wonderful day, it was on the 11th and couldn’t have been better! After some of my family surprised me at my house I went out and had dinner with the rest of them and celebrated my mom for mother’s day too! Fun times!
$ 99 again-why don’t they just tell us to bend over and drop our pants-same feeling.
@Felton10 You keep getting strap-ons in your irks too?
@OnionSoup No- butt (no pun intended) similarly shaped items.
@Felton10 because they’re not our uncle.
So NO IRK on the site unless you go to SideDeal and discount one?
Since the Irk is on SideDeal, how does that work? Do my Meh AND SideDeal purchases count towards the $99 that can be discounted on the Irk?
@ferretferret No. Just Mehrathon purchases here on Meh, today and tomorrow.
me: man, I hope they have meat sticks
also me: fuck! I missed the meat sticks!
@carl669 There’s still
Grain-free makes them almost like jerky, right?
@xobzoo oh fuck no!!
@carl669 @xobzoo
IDK… chicken and blueberry is the flavor I get at Buckees usually…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@chienfou @xobzoo what’s a buckee?
@carl669 @xobzoo
my bad, it’s Buc-ees
https://buc-ees.com/
@carl669 @chienfou @xobzoo
You eat dog treats?
@carl669 @Kyeh @xobzoo
@carl669
Buc-ees have an entire section of the store that is devoted to a jerky bar…
@chienfou oh damn… I need to get my ass over there!
edit: nvm… wayyyy too far. send me jerky!
@carl669 @chienfou @Kyeh @xobzoo YOU are the Greatest American Hero

@carl669 @chienfou But they don’t allow emotional support ducks.
@carl669 @xobzoo
I don’t blame them. Who wants duck s*** all over the place…
/showme someone crying uncontrollably after spending $99 on mehrathon junk to acquire an IRK and finding out the IRK was just more wasteful junk.
@IndifferentDude If Norman Rockwell’s great grandson painted the Mehrathon experience…
Also - love the 'Zon logo on the box!
@IndifferentDude @ybmuG I think that’s supposed to be … A drawstring handle?
@IndifferentDude @pakopako @ybmuG Looks like a banana for scale
This has been the BEST mehrathon!!! I have found $200 in stuff I want. That IRK is fairly priced!
/giphy good job team

YMMV
I have not ordered an IRK since MEH dumped 96 Trackers on me
@jmruru do you happen to need a coffee maker?
Why does the main page take upwards of 30 seconds to update after an item changes?? surely the webdevs aren’t ramming forced paged caching down our throats?

Yeah, I like disco dude Irk:
@FreePasta looks like this is where it lives
They should have had the Meh buttons swirl opposite directions for each day

How late tonight does the event go? Anybody know?
@romellex Midnight EDT.
