Honestly, I think this kind of ruins my will to keep my streak alive. Part of it was the fact that both numbers were always the same. Now my click counts are going to be higher than my streak because I didn’t realize that it added to the click count at first and just thought my click didn’t take on the refresh. I’ll probably keep clicking tonight, but it’s really going to mess with my head.
@PurplePawprints yea, I am partially annoyed too, I made up the only 2 clicks I have ever missed, but my total clicks no longer represents total days on Meh - 2 days
@sammydog01@TaRDy I think this was their way of throwing a bone to all the complainers who missed days or something. Maybe. I don’t know. But it’s making me sad or something.
@sammydog01 I agree that is not good. They need to somehow have all the clicks just on this one day and mark the face as 1 if you get them all 0.95 or whatever if you get all but one or whatever… That way the clicks and number of days clicked is still consistent. @shawn@dave
@shawn It would mean you clicked 95% of all the click possibilities today. That way you still have one face for the day and thus clicks and streak length is still the same.
But going to look I see you are keeping track of it in a different way - how many you have clicked (or at least I presume that is what that little number means) and the face spins - cool. In the end you going to tell us how many deals there were total (so we don’t have to go count)?
@mfladd That line of thinking has made my life infinitely easier and I’m pleasantly surprised more often. I’m pretty sure I’ve only clicked one time in a row. Kinda don’t want to break that streak.
Oh, crap. The home page will take forever to load after a couple hundred meh clicks, if that counter keeps incrementing with more story with each item/click.
Interesting, but not interesting enough. I’ll be back tomorrow morning, to see how things are going. Good luck to everyone, and sweet dreams (at least to me).
@heartny Nope, no spinning globe on my screen. When I moused over where it should be, there was something I could click on, which did count as a click on the calendar down at the bottom.
Odd. I wonder how long I have not had a meh button for. The calendar says I last clicked on the 6th, so it disappeared (for me) sometime between then and now.
@ninjaemilee I have the Perfect Meh Button Streak thread, and I noticed you were one behind my streak all day. I was monitoring. This Meh-rathon helped me learn a lot about my own obsessive compulsions.
I haven’t been with Meh as long as some folks here. And, while I’ve been here, I’ve missed a couple Meh’s here and there. Vacations, exams, you name it. But, this… This was my chance to earn my V badge. It is done. 57/57. A perfect 5/7.
@communist The key for me was when I realized they went to a hour in between. It meant that if I realy cared ( and apparently I did) I meh buttoned at the top of the hour, then set an alarm for an hour 55 minutes so I could meh button the next item. Rinse and repeat. Yeah, it interrupted my sleep, but I couldn’t stay up all 24 hours and earn the 57 meh buttons otherwise.
if every button counted towards the streak… oh god.
I’m just happy that my streak will stay intact without having to click on ALL the Meh buttons.
But for the highest score, you still have to hit them all!
@lljk …yawn… come on dude… really?!
Monsters.
Mine looks the same right now and I’m kind of freaking out over what it means. I can’t stay up for 40 hours straight.
Honestly, @dave, perhaps in the profile could we add Meh button streak information? Because now I can’t keep track of Meh button streaks.
@BillLehecka I hadn’t thought of that, that’s a good thought. I’ll ping @shawn here and we’ll try to remember to talk about this tomorrow.
@dave nooo…
/giphy my secret shame
(I’m a little scared about this)
That’s ok…I didn’t want to sleep tonight anyways!
Haha! And there’s a little number by the meh face that keeps track of today’s.
@sammydog01 and it’s animooted!

@PurplePawprints Crap, I just realized that this is true. My clicks and streak were the same and now they’re not.
@PurplePawprints yea, I am partially annoyed too, I made up the only 2 clicks I have ever missed, but my total clicks no longer represents total days on Meh - 2 days
@dave- it this permanent? Because we’re sad now.
/giphy sad puppy

@Kidsandliz I don’t know what 0.95 clicks even means
@shawn It would mean you clicked 95% of all the click possibilities today. That way you still have one face for the day and thus clicks and streak length is still the same.
But going to look I see you are keeping track of it in a different way - how many you have clicked (or at least I presume that is what that little number means) and the face spins - cool. In the end you going to tell us how many deals there were total (so we don’t have to go count)?
@shawn PS I see we can tell how many deals by the entry number on the home page so ignore that last bit in my post… (grin)
OH MY GOD I DON’T WANT ANY OF THIS CRAP BUT I HAVE TO HIT THE BUTTON EVERY FIVE MINUTES! IT’S LIKE LOST.
@sammydog01 Are you clicking buttons on an Apple ][?
@SSteve Didn’t everyone have a shift key mod and lower case adapter on their Apple ][s?
This is probably the most important thing that has ever happened ever.
@bub78 /giphy smoker’s laugh
/giphy non-smoker here
Will the deals only last 5 minutes each? I assume it may be longer for different products… Otherwise why have 4 digits?
BTW, we’re really weeding out the folks here who might be slightly OCD.
@BillLehecka HELP ME! Must sleep. Must clicky face, must sleep, must clicky…
You know it’s true
On the other hand, this is a way to hide my missed clicks - raising my number of clicks every five minutes.
I have long believed in ignoring the evil clicky faces. So for me nothing changes.
@mfladd That line of thinking has made my life infinitely easier and I’m pleasantly surprised more often. I’m pretty sure I’ve only clicked one time in a row. Kinda don’t want to break that streak.
@mfladd
So you avoid mirrors?
/giphy smashed mirror
Oh, crap. The home page will take forever to load after a couple hundred meh clicks, if that counter keeps incrementing with more story with each item/click.
From the way the meh face looks, it seems like we’re going to have to do four hours worth of clicking before it goes all the way around.
@lljk oh - yes I see what you are talking about… I was thinking it was filling in the eyes…
Interesting, but not interesting enough. I’ll be back tomorrow morning, to see how things are going. Good luck to everyone, and sweet dreams (at least to me).
Um, maybe I’m being dense, but I can’t find a meh button to click.
@bdb It’s the spinning globe next to the price. Click it and it becomes a Meh face.
@heartny Nope, no spinning globe on my screen. When I moused over where it should be, there was something I could click on, which did count as a click on the calendar down at the bottom.
Odd. I wonder how long I have not had a meh button for. The calendar says I last clicked on the 6th, so it disappeared (for me) sometime between then and now.
so, the genius of my “never click the button” strategy is finally confirmed!
@ekw bwahaha…(evil genius laughter)
Welp, 25/25 so far today, and once they went to an hour between deals last night, I was able to time out sleep. I got this.
@BillLehecka
Are your still perfect??
If so, you may be the only one left.
@f00l Yes. If I’m the last person standing that means…
/giphy I won Heisenberg
@BillLehecka I’ve missed just one so far - 52/53
Yay! Extra clicks! I hereby promise to click the faces that are convenient and not give a rat’s ass about the rest.
I missed a few last night while I was asleep.
/giphy what’s the point in living?
@medz
Soldier on, grasshopper.
You have taken the next step along the infinite road of failure.
Haven’t missed one yet…
@pyudin nice! I’ve missed one.
@pyudin Did you get all 57?
@dave You know it! 1
This just makes it easier to get to 1000…I’m only a couple dozen away. I am stopping at 1000. That’s it, forever.
/giphy smashing disco balls
57 of 57. Meh button clicks of 1155.
/giphy Good to Be The King Mel Brooks
@BillLehecka Nice! What’s your guess how many people clicked all 57?
(I got 53.)
@BillLehecka geez, get a life
@dave Well, I know of one person who did: @ninjaemilee. If I had to guess? Probably double digits. Close to 100.
@BillLehecka How did you know?! It’s fair though. I’m a slave to my streak. I had to keep it going.
@ninjaemilee I have the Perfect Meh Button Streak thread, and I noticed you were one behind my streak all day. I was monitoring. This Meh-rathon helped me learn a lot about my own obsessive compulsions.
@ninjaemilee Ha, this is cool:
@dave I didn’t know it did that now. This just makes me look like a crazy person. Heh.
45 of 57… And a Fuko. Not bad with sleep and work getting in the way. Only spent $14 though.
/giphy meh
I will say; the fact that’s it’s not a full 60 mehs today, stopping the button from making a full 360, is bugging me.
@BillLehecka It’s really the Egyptians’ fault. We’d need either a 27 hour day, or a 24 hour and 15 minute day to get to 60.
@dave Maybe the last hour deals could’ve been up for 15 minutes apiece? Hmm…
I haven’t been with Meh as long as some folks here. And, while I’ve been here, I’ve missed a couple Meh’s here and there. Vacations, exams, you name it. But, this… This was my chance to earn my V badge. It is done. 57/57. A perfect 5/7.
@pyudin Awesome! Congrats.
@pyudin did you powernap all day?
@communist I wish! I was at work all day… Needless to say, I didn’t achieve too much
@communist The key for me was when I realized they went to a hour in between. It meant that if I realy cared ( and apparently I did) I meh buttoned at the top of the hour, then set an alarm for an hour 55 minutes so I could meh button the next item. Rinse and repeat.
