@f00l Well yes that is true but considering what crap they have sold recently I’d bet bunches of that shit will end up in them… so you might be happy you missed it after all (well unless the meh branded stuff is your goal and the heck with the crap headed straight to the trash).
Incidentally, I wonder what the decision to label it “Mehrathon” was like? Was there a closed-door, executives-only boardroom meeting? A company-wide Q&A and suggestions session? Submissions written on slips of paper and drawn from an uninstalled toilet bowl?
@sarahdoes911 months ago. They announced it and gave people time to sign up before they discontinued it. As long as you don’t cancel it or your card, you keep it.
@RiotDemon I’m glad I mentioned this. It sounds like the memo didn’t go out to everyone. I like when we all get back on the same page. Yell it loud and far!
@jbartus umm I think meh things this is a good thing? More like an unblame then… Although personally I don’t on a night before a work day… Needs to start on a Friday or Saturday night.
Click on all the tiles that have a road sign. Now click on all the tiles that have a car. You didn’t click the new tiles that needlessly sprung up after you finished the first round of cars. Now click on all the tiles that don’t contain highly-pixellated Giraffe dung. I’m sorry, reCaptcha is closed for the night. Have fun fisting yourself to death.
@bfg9000 Remember, reCaptcha isn’t always about verifying the identity of Human vs. Computer; much of the time, it’s about training a computer to replace you in your job.
It’s a good thing I was here at 9 because if I had waited until I received the email notifying me of the Mehrathon which showed up at 23 past the hour I wouldn’t have had the experience of being Recaptcha’d out of a Fuko yet another time. Why not have a rule whereby Fuko winners from the last one don’t have a chance the next time. Give others who have never won one a little bit of a chance but who knows with the “I’m not a robot” and “I don’t know what you’re purchasing” baloney it wouldn’t matter. What is the use of a VMP? Is Meh going to follow in Woot’s footsteps or become a clearinghouse for unwanted getting stale fast non=chocolate Halloween candy?
@droopus Wrong. You still get it if you click at least one for the day. The others are just extra cheese as they create the clock hands. Reverse schadenfreude…
Meh Team- I have noticed the product description quality is up along with the weirdness factor. I’m now back to checking daily, participating in the forums, star clicking and generally meh-ing all over the place. Thanks!
I just hope that they also don’t open a bunch a different mini stores, get bought by a giant ecommerce company, and then get turned into a giant repository of refurbished crap.
@thejackalope Correct. As in the original days of woot, each order is $5 shipping for non-vmp members. You can usually buy multiple of the same item in a single order, however, to help spread your shipping costs. (always buy three)
@medz Thanks! Although it reminds me of some of my early eBay purchases… 2 separate items from the same seller, each between $0.50-$2.00. But, $5.00 shipping each. And they arrived in the same envelope. With a $1.00 stamp.
/giphy where do you think my money went?
@thejackalope yes. It is a little lame. If all the items are in the same warehouse, they could save some postage by bundling orders. Rest assured that you’ll be getting 1 package for each order, though. (free moving boxes!)
@5665150 oddly enough it was what saved me from canceling last time. So we’ll see. I enjoyed having the special hour. If that’s a standard perk we get a couple times a year I may hang on and give meh my money instead of spotify.
Ugh, all my duplicants just died from a combination of heatstroke, suffocation, and drowning in their own pee and/or vomit when everything in my colony went catastrophically wrong while I was trying to cool my water in an ice biome, and you’re telling me all the fun stuff I’ve been waiting for including the upcoming bag is VMP only? I started this colony when I popped in at 9am, and they died for nothing!
Gah! Sleep is highly overrated.
Oh wow.
Button click challenges.
Did we know this was coming?
@Euniceandrich You didn’t get the ‘K’ newsletter?
@medz
Asshole.
@medz Surprisingly, I got an email at 3 minutes past the hour.
@Euniceandrich I got an email 23 minutes past the hour…
@emanonR I didn’t get an email at all. I guess that’s only for the cool kids.
@Euniceandrich emails for me are usually late in the day, like 7am Central. This one was about 30 min after 11p Eastern.
I’ll pay as much attention as I did last time, I guess.
Got a few nifty things last meh-rathon. I mean, not the Switch or any of the Fukos…but a girl can dream, right?
Dammit. I’ll be screwed out of button clicks this time. New puppy and a busy day starting in five hours means I can’t stay up. Ugh.
@PurplePawprints and I am due at the hospital at 5am for my second child to be born.
@Wolverine350r Congratulations! You win “best excuse to not be around for the whole Meh-rathon”
@dave You need to send @Wolverine350r a baby fuko bag
@dave Thanks, not sure how much I will sleep tonight, so I should be here for a good part of it at least.
@Wolverine350r Congratulations!
Baby is out, 8lb15oz girl.
@PurplePawprints what kind of puppy did you get?
@Wolverine350r Congratulations to all!
Bets on candy corn coming up?
@arbdef You have to eat it first.
Looking for a decent speaker dock to hook up to an Echo Dot… last night’s speakers were a little too high brow for me
Bottom of the barrel.
It had a pretty shitty start…
@daveinwarsh that was pretty corny.
Hey meh - don’t do this on Sunday-Thursday nights. You know - this little minor detail about working. So we have money to blow here.
@Kidsandliz first time I’ve ever been happy about my shitty schedule and being off on a Monday!
@Kidsandliz Pretty much everything bad that they do is on purpose anyway. Gotta get used to it.
fsck
More opportunities for me to fail on my Fuko-quest.
/giphy quest
@f00l Well yes that is true but considering what crap they have sold recently I’d bet bunches of that shit will end up in them… so you might be happy you missed it after all (well unless the meh branded stuff is your goal and the heck with the crap headed straight to the trash).
@f00l Well they just had one. Hope you got it.
@Kidsandliz
Was asleep.
@Kidsandliz fuku
This song is so catchy and I hate it.
Did you plan this for my birthday, or is it just a coincidink?
@gertiestn Happy Birthday, birthday twin!
@jwilloughby Happy Birthday to you, too.
@jwilloughby happy birthday to you, two
Is the timer working for everyone else…?
@mbills2223 Ayup. It even matches my laptop clock. Shit, I’m late for work.
Every ambien user’s nightmare.
I’m so confused
Woo woo! Mehrathon!
Incidentally, I wonder what the decision to label it “Mehrathon” was like? Was there a closed-door, executives-only boardroom meeting? A company-wide Q&A and suggestions session? Submissions written on slips of paper and drawn from an uninstalled toilet bowl?
@PocketBrain https://meh.com/forum/topics/do-our-work-for-us---naming-contest
@PocketBrain I named it! In a contest! That I won, I guess, by not being sent a prize that would’ve been whatever was Meh’s candy corn of 2014?
Ok, so this is what y’all have been saving some of the good merchandise for.
If you are not a meh VIP member, do you get flat $5 shipping for all purchases today, or do they hit you with shipping for each item? Thanks!
@mjs597 $5 per order.
@Thumperchick saaaaaaad panda
@sarahdoes911 no need be sad panda. No no. Buy in to VMP now. Is work lickety-split no?
@5665150 vmp has been discontinued.
@RiotDemon when did this happen? I thought we were grandfathered in?
@sarahdoes911 months ago. They announced it and gave people time to sign up before they discontinued it. As long as you don’t cancel it or your card, you keep it.
@sarahdoes911 no new VMP, just us old suckers
@seraphimcaduto I changed cards bc my old one expired but it’s showing I’m no longer vmp. That’s stupid
@dave
Any way you could reinstate VMP for @sarahdoes911?
@mflassy I emailed them, took less than 5 mins for a response, and I’m reinstated. God I love these guys and gals!!
@sarahdoes911 now listen, you need to drop those expectations back down to mediocre levels, okay?
@RiotDemon I’m glad I mentioned this. It sounds like the memo didn’t go out to everyone. I like when we all get back on the same page. Yell it loud and far!
Thanks
@Thumperchick you’re right, I’m a little out of control. Meh-be I’ll keep myself in check next time
Why is the guy from the nerd utopia named Geoff? - I’m Geoff the IT Support Technician, who 3d prints in his spare time, and I’m offended.
Bah! Missed the Fuko again!
I’m so pissed where did the I’m not a robot button come from I just missed it
Fuko defeated by reCaptcha!
DIE reCaptcha YOU MOTHERFUCKER DIE!!!
Verifying that I am a human cost me a Fuku.
It wasn’t the Captcha that tripped me this time it was flubbing up entering my CC number lol.
@AdmiralDave You’ll never get one if you don’t save your payment info.
If we are an existing VMP member, is there an hour dedicated to us like last time? Just curious if there’s a specific time for me to look out for
@yodelyfish Last time it was at 4pm eastern.
@dave so this is another 24 hour event?
@Kidsandliz we only have you to blame.
@jbartus umm I think meh things this is a good thing? More like an unblame then… Although personally I don’t on a night before a work day… Needs to start on a Friday or Saturday night.
@Kidsandliz hence it’s a blame not an unblame.
@yodelyfish Yep. 4pm ET (3 Central)
Click on all the tiles that have a road sign. Now click on all the tiles that have a car. You didn’t click the new tiles that needlessly sprung up after you finished the first round of cars. Now click on all the tiles that don’t contain highly-pixellated Giraffe dung. I’m sorry, reCaptcha is closed for the night. Have fun fisting yourself to death.
@PocketBrain Hmm,I had that same experience last time. Same response. This time it was a simple button check. ??
@bfg9000 Remember, reCaptcha isn’t always about verifying the identity of Human vs. Computer; much of the time, it’s about training a computer to replace you in your job.
Personally, I think they’re cleaning out the warehouse
@Cerridwyn That’s what Morningsave is for. Mehrathon is for cleaning out the Morningsave warehouse. STRIIMLIGHTS FOR ALL!!!
Wooooooooo
/giphy mindless turbulent cottonmouth
Well the last Meh-rathon scored me a couple of good deals and a bunch of crap I regretted when the boxes showed up and is now sitting in my basement.
I just scored a Fuko for the first time in three years. Should I quit while I am ahead and get some sleep?
@ponagathos Flip a coin to decide.
@ponagathos Well, you won’t be allowed to get another Fuko, so it depends if you want crap stuff for about 30% off.
Ugh. I hate this. (I want to ironically complain but I actually do kinda dislike this. It’s too much stress…)
The time remaining timer on my phone is 13 seconds behind my tablet.
Water is community chart for bulbs- not a bright ideas?
I’ll go to sleep once I get the Switch.
@bricklayer Good luck, there’s like a thousand Chinese Amazon/eBay resellers running bots on this site for exactly that purpose.
@ShotgunX Who’s to say I’m not a Chinese Amazon/eBay reseller bot?
@bricklayer the Switch?
@bricklayer im waiting for the iPhone X. Please Meh make mine the 256. Thanks.
I regret not finishing my Meh face clicker script…
@atannir Well work on it now. You have the perfect opportunity to test it quickly.
@atannir macros are your friend.
I got a Fuko, so I’m sad.
The six minute timer nonsense this time is messing with my head, I keep thinking my clock is off …
It’s a good thing I was here at 9 because if I had waited until I received the email notifying me of the Mehrathon which showed up at 23 past the hour I wouldn’t have had the experience of being Recaptcha’d out of a Fuko yet another time.

Is Meh going to follow in Woot’s footsteps or become a clearinghouse for unwanted getting stale fast non=chocolate Halloween candy?
@DMO “Is Meh going to follow in Woot’s footsteps or become a clearinghouse for unwanted getting stale fast non=chocolate Halloween candy?”
I honestly don’t know which you prefer.
@DMO Well Woot doesn’t use Captcha to purchase a Bag of Crap.
@dave I’m hoping for the latter; I’m almost out of candy corn.
@Stumpy91 But they do have a vestibule of patience.
/giphy vestibule of patience
@nolrak why do I have to be on a keto diet right now.
@nolrak PEEPS!
Heh, all you guys with long OCD-driven Meh button click streaks are toast.
My wife says my schadenfreude is irritating.
@droopus Wrong. You still get it if you click at least one for the day. The others are just extra cheese as they create the clock hands. Reverse schadenfreude…
Meh Team- I have noticed the product description quality is up along with the weirdness factor. I’m now back to checking daily, participating in the forums, star clicking and generally meh-ing all over the place. Thanks!
Also, the story is keeping me awake and engaged. The escaped prisoner you sent to hold open my eyelids is helping too…
Will there be a list of everything that was offered?
@paulg1982 Check mehstalker.com
@ShotgunX Thanks
@paulg1982 or go to the forum and scroll down and see each product that was offered.
@paulg1982 Just go to the past deals section. They are all listed there.
I saw the disco ball, and I knew. Ugh, it is going to be a long day
Hmm… this seems an awful lot like a Wootoff.
I just hope that they also don’t open a bunch a different mini stores, get bought by a giant ecommerce company, and then get turned into a giant repository of refurbished crap.
@danoinct Just think of this as a test of multiverse theory.
You only pay shipping once at Woot tho.
@danoinct sellout/plus mini stores already exist on morningsave.com.
@jseay65 Or those of us who kept their VMP never pay again… wheeee!
@guyfromhawthorn yup! $5 per month beats $5 per woot-off!
/giphy make it rain
@medz So, just confirming this… Each Mehrathon purchase= plus $5 shipping? No combined shipping for purchases?
@thejackalope Correct. As in the original days of woot, each order is $5 shipping for non-vmp members. You can usually buy multiple of the same item in a single order, however, to help spread your shipping costs. (always buy three)
@medz Thanks! Although it reminds me of some of my early eBay purchases… 2 separate items from the same seller, each between $0.50-$2.00. But, $5.00 shipping each. And they arrived in the same envelope. With a $1.00 stamp.

@thejackalope yes. It is a little lame. If all the items are in the same warehouse, they could save some postage by bundling orders. Rest assured that you’ll be getting 1 package for each order, though. (free moving boxes!)
@medz Yay! Wait, we just moved 2 months ago… I might look like that deer if I suggest moving again to the Mrs…
I put up a post and would like to hear from you!
Does this suck?
https://meh.com/forum/topics/the-mean-athon-edited-ignore-the-first-one
My first meh-rathon. It brings back memories of flashing orange lights of the good old days.
I am a bit excited y’all.
Can you please make the leftover Meh-rathon items available for sale to the VMP members after midnight like you usually do?
@michaelgj2002 I like this idea. I might be willing to let Meh access my credit card a little more in the next 24 hours if this were to happen.
@michaelgj2002 Agreed.
Anyone else crossing their toes in the hopes of another VMP only hour?
@bdp I’m confused, what is a vmp only hour?
@moonhat
Only VMPs could make purchases during that hour.
@bdp anyone else think they will use that time to kill off vmp and introduce the new program?
@5665150 oddly enough it was what saved me from canceling last time. So we’ll see. I enjoyed having the special hour. If that’s a standard perk we get a couple times a year I may hang on and give meh my money instead of spotify.
Last mehrathon they set aside an hour that only VMPs were allowed to make purchases.
@bdp personally I hope they have it again but I realize that’s unlikely. But Mehby. So one knows
@5665150 It seems to have started.
So the write-ups having link to other sites…that’s just a ploy to get reverse referral traffic, yah?
Ugh, all my duplicants just died from a combination of heatstroke, suffocation, and drowning in their own pee and/or vomit when everything in my colony went catastrophically wrong while I was trying to cool my water in an ice biome, and you’re telling me all the fun stuff I’ve been waiting for including the upcoming bag is VMP only?

@Tiamat114 WHAT??? THERE WAS A VMP ONLY FUKU???!??!??!???
@HELLOALICE just like in July same thing
@HELLOALICE yeah, but it was impossible to score one even with it being limited to VMP…
@HELLOALICE Yeah. That fucking Captcha get’s me every fucking time. I made a mistake and was actually trying to do some work and let it auto-refresh.
/giphy Gutsy-distinguished-samurai
So far I have purchased vibrator and an ice cream machine. Not sure what that says about me lol
@tinamarie1974 sounds like a good time to me
@tinamarie1974 Depends entirely on the order of use.
now that im back from work, heres what im doing all night. my wife is thrilled
Holy cow. There’s a Mehration.
Holy moley. It’s every 30 minutes? (Forgive me. I have limited internet due to that bitch, Irma).
Holy crap. I got something from this Mehration without the servers crashing (the powerback tablet stand).
Good job, Meh.
dopey-ludicrous-merlin >> That’s me for buying a set of the men’s socks. Perrfect for scaring the grandkids on Halloween…
How can I find a list of everything I missed out on? Cause, you know, I have a life, kinda, and can’t be here 24x7.
@mjc94ma http://www.mehstalker.com/
@lljk thank you! Now to see if I regret having this life, kinda
sighs… that was pretty meh
Magnificent Monday Meh-rathon!!!
It’d be great if we could get an instrumental version of this song. The mehrathon parts are frustratingly catchy.
@Xkeeper I found this:
Reminds me of the Streets of Rage soundtrack.
@medz It kinda needs the melody. Thanks though.
