Just want to recommend the DevRant stress ball. I wasn't quite sure how to use it (it doesn't come with instructions) but since stuffing mine down the PM's throat my stress level has reduced dramatically.5

I got my reward stress ball about a week ago, but it vanished within minutes of opening the package 😧
Today I found out who had taken it.

Everytime I throw my stress ball (and miss...because sports are hard) at a co-worker, they ALWAYS think I'm throwing an orange at them.

Ripped through the letter in excitement while opening the parcel :(
Anyway, great stress ball! Let's hope it works

*me seeing rant with stress ball in the pic*
Me to gf:"look babe!!! Streeeeesssssballllllll :D I want one"
*gf points at shirt*:"these are your stress balls ;)"8 -
One of the important lessons I learnt in DevRant.
"You don't choose the free stress ball, the stress ball chooses you."5 -
Everyone has their stress balls, cubes, pillows, spinners etc.
Only what I have is my stress table

You is not gonna beliebers what just happened lol
So a couple weeks ago I earned a stress ball (300+ ++'s) I sent an email about it but never got a reply, so I decided to just forget about it. But then I just ranted (lastnight) about how its so hard to get a stressball. So I basically just said "fuck it i'll buy one". Then some dude comes along and is like "omg not until he shows us the bought one" so I'm like CHALLENGE ACCEPTED and buy one...
Then I get an email confirmation from devrant store confirming my order for the bought stressball. And I notive that my spam folder has unread messages in it. i look inside the spam folder and what do I see?...
I see dfox replying to my free stressball request weeks ago lol. So yay, now I gets the 3 balls (or two - depending) lol omg, so many balls.

So much swag arrived in the mail today.
It's funny how I end up paying for more stuff from a free app than from one of those freemium games that are so popular right now.
5 -
Thank you so much for the goodies @dfox and @trogus
Now the duck can swear at me with it's high pitch noise when I am unproductive 😃

Finally, my stressball. 💓
Thanks a bunch, @dfox and @trogus.
For making this bloody awesome app and the cool swag.
If I happen to meet you in real life, I'll take you both out for drinks. 🍻

2 things arrived in the mail today, still not my serial cable though. How fucking stressful, what am I gonna do!?

Reached 100+1 on a single rant...
Devrant raised to 150 +1's in order to receive the stress ball...

Dear whoever made devrantron available on the AUR: BLESS YOU. MAY UNDERSTANDING CLIENTS AND JUNIORS WHO RESPECT AUTHORITY COME YOUR WAY.

( with kde's app-loading cursor animation, the devrant stressball bounces and i think that's absolutely fantastic )

FUCK! It's so FUCKING HOT. GODDAMN FUCKING SHIT. EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH MORE FUCKING ANNOYING IN THE HEAT. COUPLE THAT WITH THE FACT THAT I SUCK ASS AT EVERYTHING I TRY TO DO AND I SNAP AT THE SLIGHTEST THING. I NEED THAT FUCKING DEVRANT STRESS BALL, BEFORE I THROW MY SHITTY BOOK ACROSS THE ROOM, FOLLOWED BY MY CONTROLLER, MY LAPTOP, AND MY DESK SOON AFTER.
Fuck.12 -
Back in the days DevRant used to be a small community. A rant would be seen by all, with a higher chance of marking the stress ball incentive target.
Now, those upvotes are distributed among many more users who have the privilege of upvoting to what they find more interesting.
However, this is not a rant about who has a better chance of winning a stress ball; it's about feeling proud how this community grew so healthy, and tailor made for developers!! :)
Kudos! I love this community7 -
Winter is on its way, so Devvy has wrapped up warm. (His face was redrawn since he got rather faded)

After the stickers, the ball is finally here!
It's way bigger than I expected, I love it. (no sexual jokes, please)
Thanks, once again, to @dfox and @trogus for this awesome app and this amazing community.
5 -
Everyone seems to have a stress ball, I have a stress dice that says "Yes", "No", "Take a break", "Tomorrow" and "Maybe". It's good for whenever I don't know I should just quit or throw the PC through the window 😅

When you need stress ball but dont have enought ++ to request one then you need to order one cheap from ebay because i really need it when code isnt working, teacher fuck something up (again) and lot of stuff gets fucked up 😭😭😭
6 -
My stickers came, thanks @dfox and @trogus! 😄
Now to pull off getting a stress ball. That's gonna be tough... help me out folks! 😨
11 -
That time when you check devRant in your sleep and have a dream that a rant has over 300 ++'s. Waking up was such a disappointment.2
-
Swag from my previous rant got delivered to the Netherlands in less than a week (more like 5 days). Thanks @dfox and @trogus
7 -
Someday I will have a rant that gets enough ++ to get a stress ball. Until that day I will keep taking out my stress on my poor mouse. At least I hardly ever use it so it doesn't matter if I break it...
-
THis one goes out to the fucktards that decide to fucking change things on api systems to meet new business requirements and fail to fucking scope out the change requirements of dependent systems that YOU are FUCKING UPDATING via THIS FUCKINg API!
You fucking morons!
At least have the fucking decency or balls to walk 10 fucking metres from your stupid ass chair or send a fucking email about the changes rather then me finding out you fucktards change things through an end customer who want to know where there order is!!! FUCK!1 -
Somebody else like me? Waiting for that beautifully crafted rant/meme/pic/joke that will bring me a stress ball.10
-
Tough days are standard are they not?
A good ritual is forcing yourself outside and get some fresh air, don’t have a single thought of what it is you were doing and just destress.
I also find punching something therapeutic aswell so there’s always that option 😅 -
Thanks, @trogus & @dfox! Got my stress ball yesterday, brought it in to work today. And here he sits upon his custom pedestal. (his name is Dave, btw.. he just looks like a Dave to me..)

Just cancelled my cinema booking for "Morgan" because THE STRESS BALL HAS ARRIVED!
AW YEAH! CAN'T.WAIT.TO.SQUEEZE.IT1 -
We got it! Only took just over a week. Thanks!
Best pic I could get before the little monster started eating it.

devJackpot in my mailbox this morning! Coffee, Evil Corp stickers (and others), and my free stress ball! Thanks devRant @dfox and @trogus for the fun!

First ever devRant Swag Store order and my stress ball from 150++ on a post! I can't wait to wear the shirt to work tomorrow!
4 -
Finally joined the 1000 club! And 5 more ++ on one of my rants and I'll get a stress ball. This week is really going well1
-
When I see the best rants of the week I give a ++ to those that are near the 150++ só they can have a DevRant stress ball5
-
Good News:
DevRant ball has joined IronMan on the desk.
Bad News:
DevRant ball will be worn out by the end of the week.

Loving the community here I wish more people I know personally knew about DevRant hence why I just bought myself a stress ball. Hoping that someone at work might notice it!5 -
well,here's my achievement for today! @localhost this is all I do on a Sunday 😂
when you know that you can't get a stress ball(150 ++'s 😱) , make the rant feed your stress ball! 🤓

Mission Accomplished: Stickers
Next Task: Stress ball.
Beginning now...
Sargent :AlphaNu
Platform :devRant

The day I was only one ++ away from getting the stress ball.
Decided not to claim it in the end, though.7 -
I remember that time when you only needed 200 +1's to get a stress ball and it was achievable in one life, not four.5
-
ohhh after replacing HP logo on my pc with devrant stickers now i want my stresss ball wooohhhh...1
-
@dfox we need like an automatic email reply when we email about stickers/stress ball because I'm waiting unsure if you got my email. I'll just keep waiting patiently I guess...
5 -
When your happy your rant has enough votes to earn you a stress ball only to realize that they raised the limit since the last time you checked...
6 -
Well the parcel didn't have the "letter" (that everybody else did recieve) from David and Tim. Seems the demand is excessive and they are out of blank papers. [LOL] Good luck team!

One of my most inspirational places to create devRant rants! I visit it every week. For a Sunday fun experiment I will gift the first person to guess where it is a devRant 'devie' stress ball or t-shirt. You must provide specific details. We can figure out prize logistic details thru @dfox. There are hints in the image 😀 Enjoy!

I read an article that says stress balls are far less effective for stress relief than punching your PM on the face.
They should have included a warning... -
my colleague received a stress ball, meanwhile the tennis ball is my stress release tool. Not very efficient i must add.
2 -
When your one rant that showed real potential to get you that stress ball has now slowed. Each new upvote revives the hope and you think - c'mon c'mon, nearly there!
8 -
Been over 6 weeks since I was promised the devrant stickers for a post with >20 ups. Didn't get them yet and I am really stressed, so I need a stress ball now.
:'(2 -

I don't have a stress ball yet, but I share these two small guys with my dog. One for summer and one for Halloween & Winter. And they both squeak like crazy.
Actually, they're a terrible strain when my dog's working on them.

Just for blatant curiosity; how many people would ++ this just to help me get a stressball to get through this day.
Rant
So today I woke up to a message that my jobs webserver was down; and that all personal webpages for the Uni went down with it. We had no idea why or how it went down but eventually someone got it up- just in time for our Proxmox server to go down; which runs our new web server (thankfully it's not live yet), our print server, our PXE server, and more... Loving today. Such stress. Very shit.
We have a memo on the window "Watch your FPMs" (fucks per minute)1 -
Someone is going to rant about me soon...
There are two types of debugging for me:
- Calm
- Not that calm!!
So the guy I was helping out handed me a stress ball...4 -
can't possibly think of a good enough rant to earn that 750++.
seems like a nice stress ball! but ranters block. haha so relateable right? ... right? pls.3 -
Got my Stress Ball in the mail the other day. It now joins the other items living on my desk at work. :-)

My stress ball has been stolen!
I came in to work to an email alerting me to a bug in production. I copied the site to staging to work on the issue but I was unable to replicate bug. My rubber duck wasn't helping so I went to go bounce my ball off the wall when I realized I don't have a stress ball anymore.
I spent 7 hours working on the bug without a stress ball before finally fixing it. And now I'm ready to deal with the theft the old-fashioned way.3 -
I think rubber duck debugging is too old now. The next big thing is stress ball debugging. Squish your ball(s) till you get the solution to your problems.3
-
Just showing off the devRant stressball...
I don't have an actual rubber-ducky, but I have a whole gaggle of rubber-ducky-stand-ins who help me debug.
Most of them happen to be skulls. (I have quite a few more scattered around the office). I guess it's an aesthetic... #skullsthetic?

Monday Morning...
Open up new client issue ticket...
“I want my site to appear on the first page of Google. I know only about 10% of our sales come from our site, but it’s importent that we appear professional.”
Well, start by proofing your ticket and the other 500 typos I found in the content you sent me, sir. -
having a stress ball is cute, but it is frustrating and stressful to have it rolling away if not careful...
That is why I have stress cubes :p2 -
Not sure if he likes the way it looks or he just wants to devour it. Pretty confident it's the second.

I just had the first day of my new job, and I started it by putting my victoriously earned devrant stress ball on my desk. I waited a word about it the entire day... I guess imma have to introduce my coworkers to the awesome place devrant is 😁2
-
Well sure, right after I get my first 150 ++'s, I get another post with almost 150... I guess the jump start is the worst part4
-
!rant (kinda)
I finally ordered myself a stress ball, and a PHP duck, but they aren't here yet and I need them today! Also my duck is gonna need to get a new Python cape here soon as well. -
Look what arrived just in time for another crunch time weekend. This ball will surely see some usage the next few days 😀
Thank you so much @dfox!

My current stress ball, should I be worried ??
Looks like I'mma need those 500 +1s to get my new stress ball, promise I'll treat it differently this time 😂😂
-
One time project - Search 'stress ball' one time community effort to get @NAlignak a stress ball for going above and beyond.

!rant
It is more than 6 months after successfully ordering free stress ball and I haven't received it yet:-\1 -
People talking about getting 100 +1's when I haven't even broken the 50 +1's barrier lol everyone should be having fun here, don't worry guys, stress balls will come 😊
-
Everyday life: Colleague offers me a stress ball after hearing about deadline shifted forward (again).
We are ending up playing basketball in office with the whole team... -
Anyone received the confirmation that their stickers are on there way or the devRant guys loves the surprise game?1
