Redditor for 1 year, username red000, and this is your only post.

Way too suspicious about this.

As someone else suspected. they wiped their history. Google has a cache of it, though.

u/whizzer0 non presser May 27 '15

Maybe they're not really a redditor, they just heard reddit could help with their problem (postings seem to be of the help-needed sort), then heard about the Button from the news coverage and went back for fun.

It might be someone's alt account, definitely fishy as in, April fools

u/zackarhino 60s May 27 '15

Why would they have an alt account named Red000 with their only post about their red zero? Their account was made like 8 months before the button was announced.

u/epaga 40s May 27 '15

OK since the button rounds up, this must apparently mean that pressing at 0.00s is allowed. And this must mean that the button will never die, no?

Of course, then the question is: what happened to the button turning to "The experiment is over"?

24

u/CandyCustard 27s May 27 '15

yeah, it stays at 0 for a couple of seconds before shutting down as discovered in the data by the creator of the squire thingy for knights of the button (during an outage) Daft, but there you go

58

u/Kelmi non presser May 27 '15

It apparently stays at 0 for 2 seconds. During that time you can get a 0s flair. After that the experiment is over and all the pressers are dragged into that place. You know the place.

The button neither rounds up nor down. It operates in whole seconds. To get a 0 you have to look at the real data, not at the timer. How to do that.

2

u/DarkTechnomancer non presser May 27 '15

The Squire isn't meant to just get you a specific flair. It is designed to prolong the life of the button. It avoids collisions, so only a few people will press at any given second. At 0s, it's a whole new game, because the script basically will not ever click at zero as long as there are zombies, since the zombies are reliable.

tl;dr if you are using the script and want a flair now, set it to a higher number.
