I think I'll never going to get a devRant stress ball, so i made this instead with my pretty low budget (0.5$).

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.

I guess my dog doesnt like Dev rant. Bye bye 1.5 year old stress ball :,(

A sad day it is

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.

My girlfriend heard I wanted a stress ball. She made me one.

Girlfriend thinks the only reason I feel her breasts is because I don't have a DevRant stress ball 🙈🤔🤓

Winning a stress ball with a stress ball.

Winning a stress ball with winning a stress ball with a stress ball.

Best use of stress ball

When you want a stress ball but can't think of a good rant

I need that stress ball. Therefore desperate times call for desperate measures:

Sudo upvote

Stress ball arrived, cant find it.

Im so happy I just got my devRant stress ball ^^

I am Indian. I thought my parents had high standards then I looked at devrant's requirements for a stress ball.

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.

I've just got my stress ball. And this little piglet of mine has stole it away from me :)

DIY: homemade stress ball for < 1$

I NEED A FUCKING STRESS BALL

Yeah, you thought it right! This one aims for the stress ball...Come on devRants, I have faith in you!

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

Got me some free swag. Thanks @dfox & @trogus! Might I suggest:
500++ stress ball
1000++ mouse mat
2000++ t-shirt
4000++ sexual favours
8000++ replacement soul

AW YEAH! Stress ball, you're mine

When u get to know u need 300 ++ to get a stress ball

Ah fuck it. I'm just going to buy a stress ball

Just broke 3000++ but no stress ball because my stories aren't as funny as my comments. :(

Dev Duck and Stress Ball joining me on crypto market watch!

My sister just showed me this. Stress ball and rubber duck all in one!! 😁

🙌 My stress ball arrived!

(And was immediately commandeered)

I'll never reach 175 +1's hahaha I made my own stress ball v0.2

*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 ;)"

My colleague has the second best looking stress ball ever!

I feel like this stress ball judges every line you type out

being 19 +1's away from the stress ball is stressing me

One of the important lessons I learnt in DevRant.

"You don't choose the free stress ball, the stress ball chooses you."

The stress balls are taking over the office

When you don't have a stress ball and have to make one with resources nearby. :/

PM finds my prized stress ball and draws a face on it. When asked why she said "it looked depressed".

THATS THE LOGO YOU DUMB BITCH. PLEASE DON'T TOUCH MY SHIT

On the bright side... Good thing I have this stress ball to relieve my anger 😒

For those difficult days, one stress ball for each hand.

Who ordered an Extra large stress ball?

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.

Not received my stress ball after 4 weeks, this is stressing me out.

Dang bullies got to my stress ball 😢

What am I supposed to do with a stress ball ? Throw it to people who stress me out ?

When your 1 year old finds your devrant stress ball and decides to use it as a teether...

At least the face is in tact

YOU DO NOT TOUCH ANOTHER DEVS STRESS BALL!

Recently found so many 299++ and I gave them all the last one for the stress ball. Enjoy it fellas

My stress ball found a new body

Got me a new virtual stress ball & a cute birdie, thank you all for the ++!

Everyone's trying to come up with a good rant to claim a stress ball like:

stress ball arrived :/ And I picked a up a t-shirt to try find some ranters in the wild!

Take a Look at my Brand new stress ball

One of your rants is 4 away from a stress ball, but it's been over two weeks since the last ++, and you're just like:

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!!

and i only need one more upvote to get a stress ball !

My stress ball because I will never get 300++ 😜

Not a devDuck or a stress ball but here is my debugging buddy: a silicone mochi pig :3

Attempting to learn vim this weekend.

A stress ball may come in handy.

A Pidgey landed on my devRant stress ball...

Just posting my stress ball!

I think if I ever got a stress ball I would end up throwing it at people who cause me stress instead of using it for its intended purpose

Just got my new stress ball!

Got it! That was a looong wait!

Remember when a stress ball was 100?

Muaahahahhaha. Stress ball you are mine.

Reached 100+1 on a single rant...

Devrant raised to 150 +1's in order to receive the stress ball...

Thanks for the stress ball & the stickers, Devrant. ♥

!rant

Only took 5 days to arrive to the UK! Thanks a lot :)

Babies get 100+ points.

💡 I just need to make a baby and I'll have my stress ball!

Baby firstBorn = new Baby("Tommy");
firstBorn.setAppearance = "adorable";

😅

Thanks @Trogus, @Dfox. One more stress ball to my collection :D

My stress dev rant ball and stickers, 2 days before I delivery.

Couldn't get stress ball from devRant.. But I found one at work.. Now it's mine 😀

After 5 min with it, my stress levels dropped and productivity also..

When you're only 28 ++'s away from a stress ball

Came to office and found out my Devrant stress ball is missing from my desk.
Should i go back home?

I can finally have some dialogue while I’m coding. :/

Stress ball & Stickers arrived!
Thanks DevRant team!

What do you guys think of my new stress ball?

Stress ball 😍 Come to papa

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.

I don't have a stress ball; I do have an adjustable grip exerciser. It goes from 20lb of force to 90lb.

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 😅

The stress ball is going to office with me today!

Received my stress ball few days ago. I love it! Can't wait to find a place for my ducky!

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 community

Dude, I think I need a stress ball :/

Thanks again devRant, @dfox and @tragus.
Those stickers are amazing.
Hope to get the stress ball one day too.
Btw @dfox what do you mean with +1’s here? 500 +1's on a single rant for a ball

My stress ball. Haha close enough.

Trust me guys, waiting for the stress ball to arrive is worse than waiting for the stickers.

Am I the only one who is much more interested in getting stickers, rather than the stress ball?😂

I found myself recently in need of a stress ball. Bought this instead.

My stickers came, thanks @dfox and @trogus! 😄

Now to pull off getting a stress ball. That's gonna be tough... help me out folks! 😨

Guys! For every 300 ++s @dfox sends out a signed envelope and a free stress ball! It's like the best deal ever!

Stress ball came in 😛

Got my stress-ball + stickers today :D

Now where to put the stickers 🤔

Thanks community for letting me earn a devRant sticker.

Now earn me that stress ball too 😇

My girlfriend heard me when I said to want the devRant's stress ball and she decided to compensate.

Request: Need stress ball
Reason: Learning JavaScript

After unpacking my stickers and stress ball today
Non-dev colleague: What's devrant?
Me:

Hi bro

The stress ball matches my wall...it was meant to be! Thanks for the swag, @dfox!

Somebody else like me? Waiting for that beautifully crafted rant/meme/pic/joke that will bring me a stress ball.

Finally got it 😍 Thanks @devrant. Hope to get the stress ball someday 😂

That's what i got today 😊
Swag ball, stress ball.

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...

The first time you go to DevRant :
- " Mmh not bad "

When you realise you can win a stress-ball :
- " OMG need to find something funny to say !! "

finally received my swag / stress ball

arrived all the way to India

thank-you very much @dfox

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..)

The 😥 when I am only six ++ from a stress ball

Just cancelled my cinema booking for "Morgan" because THE STRESS BALL HAS ARRIVED!

AW YEAH! CAN'T.WAIT.TO.SQUEEZE.IT

I dont have a rubber duckie, nor a stress ball... but these two terriers are always by my side when coding ❤

Friend got a stress ball from devrant. I was so stressed. Installed devrant...

Waiting for my rant to reach175 so that I hit that send button on Gmail for the stress ball.

Went to the mall with mom the other day,

Mum: so what do you want?

Me: (pointing to stress ball) that ball

Mum: stop embarrassing us, are you a kid?

Me: they are stress balls

Mum: take a pill or exercise if you stressed

My mind: I told you not to go the mall with your, fucking kid....

devrant a ni**a really need them stress balls

Received my stress ball just in time to sit over the fried PSU.

My stress ball has become the 'talking stick' at our daily stand ups.

Becoming a parent on devRant will get you that stress ball.

I need 175++ so I can use the stress ball as a ball gag in my coworker's stupid face.

Rubber duck, anti-stress ball...
Why not join them? :>

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!

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 well

When you can request for a stress ball, tanks to all for your ++

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!

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 ball

I need a stress ball to deal with the stress of trying to get a stress ball.

My stress ball and stickers just came in, thanks devrant!

What does one get if a comment has 500++? A mini stress ball? 🤔

Yes!!!! i can buy the stress ball BUT i want EARN it😎

Here’s my stress ball!

I got my stickers today! Hopefully soon I'll get the stress ball!

We all know we're just here for the free stress ball.

Can this replace a stress-ball? A stress-cube?

@dfox thanks for the stickers! No better place than on ur works notebook.
Next target the stress ball...

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.

Customs about to examine my parcel.
Me: "Be careful opening it! It's very addictive!"

@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...

I'd been considering buying a stress ball, but never quite got round to it (don't see myself contributing a 500+ worthy rant). Then I saw this and now I have a dilemma. If only I had a stress ball to squeeze while I decide...

The day I was only one ++ away from getting the stress ball.

Decided not to claim it in the end, though.

!rant
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!

TMW you're 25 ++'s away from a stress ball

Came here for the stickers and the stress ball.
Stayed because of the hilarity.

Pick your poison

@dfox, I'm curious, are comments with 200+ rants eligible for a free stress ball?

finally the stress ball has arrived just before my exams.😄 thanks @dfox and Tim for all of this.

I love the irony that the devrant stress ball my co-worker just received is the beginning of my stress.... bounce bounce bounce AHHHH!

Thanks for the stress ball! Here a picture of it with my new Power over Ethernet adapter 😂

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...

there was a time when people were begging for upvotes for stress ball and stickers now it is abt avatar. different times different measures

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

!rant
Woop woop, just got my stickers!
Next challenge, stress ball

Anyone else remember the time when we only had to get 70 ++ to get a stress ball?

that moment when you stress out over wanting the stress ball 😓

Why do you love devrant?

The person with the most upvotes will get a free stress ball.

Am I the only one who interested in the sticker more than the stress ball??

Obligatory stress ball picture, thanks for all your ++ on my underwater server room rant! ❤

Meanwhile I reach 175 +1's I'm playing with my own custom stress ball with a bash fork bomb on it :]

So they give us a stress ball if a rant gets that many "upvotes". I find that really stressful, waiting and waiting.. And never get there. In the end of the day we are stressed af and with no stress ball 😂.
But hey, who da hell get stressed for this little? We devs are already stress free...

Ready for work. Coffee and stress ball for bug rage 😂

but a devRant stress ball would be nice too

i need a stress ball...

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!

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!

IT'S HERE AND IT'S AWESOME 😍 😘
Thank you guys, now I'm waiting for my stress ball to arrive

Been using this recently along with my devRant stress ball. Does wonders

Got my stress ball. Ready to deal with all my dev stressors.

Thanks dev rant, let's see my stress ball soon

Stress Ball is coming!! @dfox thank you so much!!

Just saying : devRant people can put another message in the letter they send with the stickers / stress ball and save paper..

Release by release, ++ to get free stickers and stress ball is getting increase 😁

Temporary stress ball while I wait for the devRant one.

/tmp/funny_ball

Thanks for the stickers @dfox Next goal is the stress ball. Gonna need it with school starting up

Some devs rant for stress ball.

I rant for my balls 😓

@dfox I wish dfox gifts me a stress ball. Feeling stressed.

My stress ball reached today

!rant
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.

Everyone fussing over the new stress ball limit.
No one appreciating the new ui

When you stress to make a good enough rant so you can receive a stress ball, but now you're stressed so you actually need the damn thing.

Started work at a call center recently, really hoping things work out since it's full time, if you're inclined I'd appreciate some help toward that stress ball, I think I may need it soon...

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.

What if I say, getting a stress ball is getting a bit stressful.

I am really stressed out. I am an unpaid intern. I need the stress ball. Can I get 300+1's ?

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.

Can I get this stress ball or it's just a illusion to use devRant and spending time.

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.

Need a stress ball? I got them all!

2 more upvotes on my last post for the stress ball. Who wants to do the honours?? 😀😀

Anyone else notice? The stress ball isn't on the store anymore.

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...

Stress ball arrived, cheers Devrant

I don't need a stress ball. I need only devrant <3

Do I get a stress ball once I hit 1000 ++?

Not having any good rants to get a stress ball. lol

I wonder how many developers each day rant here to get stickers and stress ball 😝.

Shameless acceptance: I am one of them.

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.

:'(

Can I get a stress ball for no reason?

#somethingToSqueezePlease

Got my Stress Ball in the mail the other day. It now joins the other items living on my desk at work. :-)

Stress ball level 99....

Who use stress ball at work?

Whoa!! The last time I was here, stress ball was worth 15 ++

thanks devrant :) my life is semi-complete :)

p.s. I'm so stressed I need a stress ball so badly ;)
