My husband cut open a pepper the other day and couldn’t resist sending the pic to our family group chat. I mean…x-rated fruit and veggies are funny no matter how old you are, right?
I still remember when once I got an IRK full of women’s underwear. According to the women’s shelter I donated them to it “was the best donation they had gotten in” because everything was clean and unused and they could use them to help!
$600 down the drain, $5 at a time, and what have I gotten for it? Speakers that don’t work, knives that aren’t sharp anymore, ten thousand fidget spinners, expired granola in a bar shaped wrapper, and somehow my wife has stuck around through it all. I think she’s just happy to have some sweet shopping bags out of the whole deal.
I still have one of the original Meh t-shirts from the kickstarter still in its original packaging stored away in case I ever need to bribe my way out of a tough situation
Sorry, I wasn’t providing any real support. I was doing an impersonation of every Microsoft support rep I’ve ever seen in their forum.
I will say if I visit at changeover it is laggy for me too. I would venture to guess that Meh doesn’t get the resources assigned to it that it did a few years ago when it was the main business and it was fun to try to get the customers to DDOS the site and identify the next weakest link.
Meanwhile the number of people who have implemented a bot to try to take advantage of various things probably hasn’t decreased. So the site probably gets several thousand simultaneous hits at 12:00:00.000. Rather than pay for capacity to take that hit (that is generally not producing actual business for Meh) without missing a beat they opt to let it be a little shaky and stabilize a few seconds later as those requests time out and either go away or come back more scattered over time. But that’s just my guess.
I’m sure it requires several orders of magnitude less resources to run Meh 99.9% of the time but that hit at changeover is brutal. It probably saves a ton of Azure or AWS spending to just let it get hammered briefly at the expense of a subset of people who actually check at midnight.
@ciabelle I donated most of mine to a charity auction, but I think I kept 2 or 3. Here’s a pic of my haul, which wasn’t nearly as much as some received.
Happy 10th birthday @meh. It seems like it’s been longer. I’m still getting grief about the random crap lying around my house. Only change from 10 years ago. The kids are old enough to join in on the jeers.
Fond memories of mehrathons with 60 second countdown clocks between new stuff. That was back when I was trying to click every button during a thon. Just remembering makes me tired.
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I switched my daily deal browsing from Woot to Meh. That damn Meh face button calls to me. I think I’ve only missed two or three days.
/showme I am ready
@mediocrebot oh god am I dead???

/showme f5 key being rapidly pressed
@heartny I love how this is accurately all index fingers
@DLPanther @heartny But why is the
F5button in the middle of the keyboard? (and what are all the other buttons around it?)Back in the day…
I clicked every link in the email. Nothing exciting happened.
@joedel263
The email is sent out in advance of things happening.
@joedel263 Did you feel Meh?
@FreePasta lol, no secret products was more what I meant. Nine links all go to the homepage.
@joedel263 Sadly, I didn’t get an email
@joedel263
The email kinda said that those would all last to Meh. They want you to constantly visit.
(Day 2 of the Meh-rathon will have Meh branded stuff.)
@FreePasta and Im supposed to just believe them?
New 10 year badges?
@jml326 Badgers? The don’t got no steenking badgers!
@jml326 @werehatrack
/youtube badger badger badger song
Nooooo. We just had one.
email?
Ten years of sharing a birthday with Meh and I still haven’t received a gift.
@JoJoe86 Happy Birthday!
@joedel263 Thank you!
@JoJoe86 @extramedium get this person something regrettable
This is a great opportunity for some socks!
Happy Birthday Meh!
I don’t see a special link for an IRK on SideDeal so meh-be we can get them the “Normal, Old-fashioned” way for $10??
/showme fingers crossed and hoping for an IRK.
@mediocrebot What’s up with the baby finger on the left hand??
@IndifferentDude It looks like one of those tiny bell peppers that’s sometimes inside a regular bell pepper.
@IndifferentDude @SSteve or maybe it’s a boy finger?
@IndifferentDude @k4evryng @SSteve I just now found a cherry like that!
@Kyeh oh my gosh!! That is hysterical!
My husband cut open a pepper the other day and couldn’t resist sending the pic to our family group chat. I mean…x-rated fruit and veggies are funny no matter how old you are, right?
@k4evryng That’s great!
I don’t get emails from Meh except to tell me when my stuff is shipped & delivered. How do I fix that? I do get daily emails from SideDeal.

That brings a smile to my face to this day.
Also my Year 7 IRK Pin is still on my Pin Board
/showme up all night trying to get an IRK
I am here for the IRK. Show me an old-school mehrathon.
It’s pretty wild to see they’re still using “Meh-rathon,” which I coined a decade ago!
Happy Birthday Meh!
So this is an old fashioned mehrathon!
Meh deals and tons of bitching from people that didn’t get an irk!!! Got it, should be fun!!
Happy Birthday Suckers!

@Mack
I want one if those, I like the design
Working third shift used to come in handy during these…not so much anymore.
Why does it always take 30 seconds for a new deal to refresh for me. Not just tonight but all the time for past several months…
@ryancunderwood have you tried clearing your cookies? If so run sfc /scannow and report back to get something else that’s not the answer.

How many of you are still taking a BATH with an ungodly number of neoprene sleeves?
@ciabelle I think I have like 2 left, so maybe a sponge bath?
@ciabelle I donated most of mine to a charity auction, but I think I kept 2 or 3. Here’s a pic of my haul, which wasn’t nearly as much as some received.
@ciabelle I think I have a case of about 60 in the basement somewhere.
I still have a few. I even know where they are.
Happy 10th birthday @meh. It seems like it’s been longer. I’m still getting grief about the random crap lying around my house. Only change from 10 years ago. The kids are old enough to join in on the jeers.
@jimmyd103 thanks but, uh, I turned 35 not too long ago
@meh
Kudos on the @meh handel. Was that from day 0 time?
@jimmyd103 i was born the meh.

/showme an instant regret cake for a 10 year old birthday party. Make it very mediocre.
@mediocrebot Holy crap. Happy Birthday is correctly spelled
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I switched my daily deal browsing from Woot to Meh. That damn Meh face button calls to me. I think I’ve only missed two or three days.
Happy 10th.
I miss the old meh…
Happy Birthday
