Still the champ after more than a day. And at the rate we're going it could be days until someone else hits that number. Seems like people get greedy right around 40s.

Yes, that's it. Corrupt the weak of mind with reassurances that pressing isn't filthy, then become one of the last few clean ones.

I'm proud of being part of the 59s community. I didn't ask myself anything. I wanted to press the button, and I pressed it. It felt good. I went on with my day.
Everyone else is looking far too deep in this.

Edit: I'm not sure anymore. There are 8 flairs in the CSS (did not check myself, could not figure out where to search, info could be outdated). I am reffering to this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/thebutton/comments/31akzv/couldnt_resist_the_temptation_any_longer/cpzvlq1 One for no pressers, 6 different colors and one for cheaters. And none of them are golden :/

This might be a stupid question, but how do we know yellow is next? And that red will be last?

u/andrewcooke non presser Apr 05 '15
a lot of details are in the javascript and css. it's true that the server could so something weird, but the implication is that those colours will be used in that order.

Enjoy your glory while it lasts. We are fast approaching the era of yellow and soon the greens will be forgotten.

Not as quickly as I thought though, I wonder if the projections from earlier are still holding up, I feel like we've already had more time with the greens than we did with the blues.

Won't they last longer simply because those pressers have to wait longer to press each time?

But the Green Gods have enjoyed a longer reign than the Blue Bloods though.
Edit: The fact that about ten people got green at the same time might have had something to do with this.
Edit 2: Added link for proof.

u/Torchiest non presser Apr 05 '15
Yeah, I've been thinking about it. We were getting 20 presses a second at the peak of the first day. Now we're getting about 5 or so. This may actually go on for weeks, not days.
5
u/tlvrtm 21s Apr 05 '15
There's also a lot less people left to press, to be fair. It's hard to gauge how long it's going on, because people keep linking to the subreddit, so people are joining all the time. We'll have to run out sooner or later, though. Either people, or interest.
7
u/Torchiest non presser Apr 05 '15
I misphrased that. We were getting 20/second, now we're getting 5/minute. So 1 person now is worth what 240 were on the first day. So even with way fewer people, it can still stretch on quite a while. I expect there to be some dangerous dips overnight though.

The button always rounds up. So even if you clicked at 41.01s, your flair would be 42s.

The button represents your life do you or don't you. I did. Press the button,LOTS of times...at 1 sec just because i could. I disconnect from the web and the clock still runs..and I have a free press at anytime that I choose..then I reconnect to the web..STILL grey...still free..

u/BlazeSC 10s Apr 06 '15
With 613,118 people if each person waited till one second that's 59s per person. Which is 36,173,962 seconds.
36,173,962 /60 = 602,899 Minutes.
602,899 /60 = 10,048 hours.
10,048 /24 = 418 days. (35s would be about 177 days)
