@mtbm33 It seems like the timer started at 780:00, but the it can’t properly display 3 digit numbers so we are only seeing the first 4 digits of the countdown. The seconds change every 10 seconds and jumps from 0 to 5. It’s really the tens digit of the seconds.
@medz perhaps but I’d go for four or maybe $5 at most. I’ve bought my fair share of random shirts, and I’ve not liked the artwork on at least half of them. If I’m going to throw money away it needs to be in smaller quantities these days.
The last time I ordered a mystery shirt, it was soooooo awful (it was some kind of an “ugly Christmas sweater” Tee) that I wouldn’t even donate it, I turned it into a cleaning rag. And it was less than $9, too. Meh is too meh.
@CBL_WV Hmm… I think I bought one of the “ugly Christmas sweater” shirts intentionally.
But it’s like Art (or Music), it’s whatever you like and if you don’t like it, you don’t like it, that’s fine. Or you might like stuff nobody else likes, which is fine too. Not sure which shirt you got though.
@mediocrebot@pmarin He didn’t request a “garbage” can; he asked for a “GARAGE” can.
Speiling makes a difference.
The background in the said artwork does look like the wall of a garage, if your garage is in your old barn.
@mediocrebot@pmarin And, if we’ve sussed the mechanics of the timer correctly, the time it shows on the shirt might indicate the total time (in units of 10 seconds) until the end of the Mehrathon at 11 pm central.
I’ve bought these randoms religiously in the past, to the point that a significant portion of my t-shirt collection is Meh shirts that I did not choose. But it’s less appealing to gamble at $9. Think I’m out this time.
Got mine today too. Two black and one non. The two black designs are ace. The non is meh. Kiddo loved it so he’s going to take it. Mine were the meh astronaut planting a flag based on the MTV one, a snorlax design and a robot sinking ships.

$9? What happened to$3?
@jaybird Maybe they should be Random Size instead of Random Print? How about doing it like Pasta Drop and send you Random Quantity?
military time?
What’s up with the timer?
@mtbm33 indicates time to next deal
@mtbm33 I feel like this is going to be a very long day for some strange reason…
@mtbm33 was wondering the same thing, for me it’s counting down one second every 10 or so seconds.
We get stuck in some strange time-dialation event?
@mtbm33 @Turken You’re disappointed in the time? Wait until you get the IRK.
@mtbm33 @Turken If it’s time dilation, maybe slow down …
/image if this sticker is blue you need to slow down
@mtbm33 maybe this is the last item for the day and the timer will finally end at midnight eastern.
@mtbm33 is it even minutes & seconds? I’m looking at it and it’s at 76:83.
@james_hardiman that’s why I asked!
@Dakini @mtbm33 I think maybe they got some new “edibles.” Don’t even think that’s legal in Texas yet. Gotta drive North to Colorado for those.
Right now it reads 75:93, which I interpret as being 759 minutes and 30 seconds

really a shirt?
and not a bag of, er, I mean instantly regrettable shi-r-t?
$6 would be more reasonable.

@medz weren’t these $5 last time? I mean…I get inflation, but, nearly double? 🫤
@PHRoG gotta pay for the dollar store crap they’re putting in the “free” IRKs somehow!
@medz I would bite at $6.
@medz yes, i still bought them at $9, 3 of them

Not remotely worth it
/showme Random Print Mediocrity T-Shirt in a garage can
@mediocrebot I like the rustic wood wall background but not a garbage can. At least it doesn’t have six fingers.
@mediocrebot I actually want that shirt. I mean, I want it badly. It’s like an anti-shirt.
@mediocrebot @pmarin He didn’t request a “garbage” can; he asked for a “GARAGE” can.

Weird. Timer still going on the shirt, but current deal moved on. Strange.

@mediocrebot actually yes, that’s the way it seemed to be working…
@mediocrebot @pmarin And, if we’ve sussed the mechanics of the timer correctly, the time it shows on the shirt might indicate the total time (in units of 10 seconds) until the end of the Mehrathon at 11 pm central.
@pmarin That would actually look kind of cool on a tee!

@djslack I’m guessing these are for IRKers who only get to $41 or so of junk.
@djslack I’m wearing one now, it’s a cool butterfly. It didn’t cost $9.
Received my black and not black shirts today. The black is a Halloween theme and the non black is a dr. Who sci-fi theme
@braveit1 that tardis tee is amazeballs! I’ll keep my fingers crossed though we all know I won’t get it.
Eh, bummed by mine. Bought 1 male L and 1 female S. Got the same design in both.
Got mine today too. Two black and one non. The two black designs are ace. The non is meh. Kiddo loved it so he’s going to take it. Mine were the meh astronaut planting a flag based on the MTV one, a snorlax design and a robot sinking ships.
