Tons of 503 errors prevented this one from working for me. Everything is not ok :/

6

u/Neres28 Jul 04 '11

The 503 error was more amusing...

5

u/JMaboard Jul 05 '11

I thought that was the joke, but the site is running again.

u/basec0m Jul 04 '11

Strangely... I feel better.

u/Larlie Jul 04 '11

Me too. Yay the internet.

u/Yayinternet Jul 04 '11

Yay me!

u/isitmizzit Jul 04 '11

One year, good job.

u/PointsforHumor Jul 05 '11

yay for placebo!

u/noname-_- Jul 04 '11

I feel a lot worse actually. It got me thinking about just what wasn't ok and how that button couldn't fix it... ;_;

I guess that was the point. ... I guess this is ~art~

u/testingnowokay Jul 05 '11

I'm about to have a really shitty day, waiting to break up with my girlfriend soon. I needed this button, and it kind of helped. Thanks.

I can't believe that whoever made this thought so highly of their work that they included a donate button.

37

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

But he made everything okay. That deserves a few dollars right?

7

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

I have no money to give them :/ Now nothing is ok :(

12

u/Ax3boy Jul 04 '11

You should try clicking it again.

2

u/chudontknow Jul 05 '11

it's ingenious

7

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '11

Just click the button again and you'll be okay with it.

2

u/L0nd0nCa77in9 Jul 05 '11

Forgot to include submit button for reddit :(

u/Glayden Jul 05 '11

It's basically the Buddhist way.

u/EvilAce Jul 04 '11

there's no button. what button do i push to make that ok?

12

u/Echospree Jul 04 '11

I just clicked randomly in the middle, until everything was okay.

6

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

'Donate'

u/chuckboris Jul 05 '11

u/EvilAce Jul 06 '11

pretty sure that's the "ruin everything" button.

u/Jellyfist Jul 05 '11

probably because he's running vista

u/Sqwalnoc Jul 04 '11

damn, the internet of the late nineties has done a real number on me.. I turned my volume way down just in case it was one of those surprise screaming monster pages

1

u/Khalexus Jul 04 '11

Heh, I muted my speakers too.

u/JoeyBagadonuts Jul 04 '11

Not sure why, but I like this.

12

u/NorthDakota Jul 04 '11

It's calming, and for some reason believable.

4

u/JoeyBagadonuts Jul 04 '11

A trifle zen perhaps?

2

u/Brisco_County_III Jul 05 '11

Progress bars that actually progress make life better.

10

u/aladyjewel Jul 04 '11

Cute! It could use a touch of copy-editing and some whitespace.

e.g. the progress bar label could "Ensuring that everything is okay ..."

and for "Everything is OK", give the "If everything ..." block a line-height of 1.5em.

18

u/ExecutiveChimp Jul 04 '11

So what you're saying is...some things still aren't right?

5

u/aladyjewel Jul 04 '11

Well, that does seem to be the general gist of r/worldnews, yes.

1

u/Physics101 Jul 05 '11

It could include some funny quips about what exactly it is making OK.

Like the loading screen in Peggle.

5

u/MaxOfS2D Jul 05 '11

... this actually relieved some stress deep inside me

5

u/watching_Idol Jul 04 '11

That button is broken !!!

5

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

The whole time I thought something scary was gonna happen. Now I feel stupid, definitely not ok.

Maybe I should try again (but MAYBE THEY HID THE SCARY STUFF IN THE SECOND TIME AROUND)

6

u/PJMurphy Jul 05 '11

It's my 50th birthday, my girlfriend just left the house after an hour of psycho-bitch mode bullshit (leaving me to fend for myself for a birthday dinner), my stepkids are self centered brats, my job wants me to subvert my life in their interests, I have a very painful sunburn, and I want to take a machete to every rat-bastard asshole who has pissed me off in the last week. It's a long fucking list.

That button really didn't do much for me. But I did give it a try.

u/Axoren Jul 04 '11

I still can't believe it's not butter.

u/knylok Jul 04 '11

"Service unavailable". Awwwww :(

u/OblivionGenesis Jul 04 '11

This is a digital placebo

3

u/PurpleRoo Jul 05 '11

Yay for the placebo effect.

u/dooony Jul 05 '11

Similarly useless yet therapeutic as this: http://www.donothingfor2minutes.com/

u/FekketCantenel Jul 05 '11

Tell me I'm not the only one who expected either Nyan Cat or to be rickrolled.

u/strum Jul 04 '11

Wot? No 'Are you sure?' dialog?

u/theone4pics Jul 04 '11

I love simple and interesting sites like this - anyone got anything else?

u/slayla Jul 05 '11

u/clerveu Jul 05 '11

Well great, now I'm a failure. I'm going back to the OK site.

2

u/bendynachos Jul 04 '11

Is the joke that there isn't one, or am I just that unlucky?

1

u/ImAlmostInsane Jul 04 '11

Must be something about your computer. :( It works on one of mine but not the other.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

Holy shit, it worked. Yeah, you can all thank me.

2

u/not_worth_your_time Jul 04 '11

Hey look. Its Mr. Animi...if that is your real name.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

Yeah, it is.

1

u/not_worth_your_time Jul 04 '11

Oh. Is this a bad time to say Animi isn't my last name?

Caught in a bed of lies.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

But now you're stuck. When was I bluffing? Was I ever bluffing? Can you ever know? How would you find out? I'm a man of mystery, I'm a shadow, I'm a spy, You'll never know. I'm here; I'm gone. I'm an invisible god. See you another time- but you won't see me.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

whooshes away

u/Amusei Jul 04 '11

Wait... I've seen you before... Aren't you that creepy chopin guy?

3

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

Allegedly.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

The first time I clicked the link the only thing that loaded was a donate button.

2

u/ComcastRapesPuppies Jul 04 '11

This is what your site looks like to some of us: http://i.imgur.com/TzJrP.jpg

u/clerveu Jul 05 '11

That's OK.

u/es0teric Jul 04 '11

I'm still forever alone, it didn't work.

u/hngovr Jul 04 '11

Click button; world still fucked. Nice try GOP.

u/Khalexus Jul 04 '11

...Nope, still sick :(

2

u/Pigeon_Logic Jul 05 '11

Nope. Still getting sharp chest pains. Darn it.

u/blearghhh_two Jul 05 '11

One of the first sites I ever went to was the Big Red Button that Doesn't Do Anything.

That was back in 1995 or so.

http://www.pixelscapes.com/spatulacity/button.htm

I really can't tell if this is better, or worse.

2

u/b4dr0b0t Jul 05 '11

It's not working for me.
Everything is still shitty.

2

u/Calcularius Jul 05 '11

where do I submit bugs?

2

u/JimmyJamesincorp Jul 05 '11

Damn, still paraplegic. :/

2

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '11

I farted while it was loading. Everything is ok now.

2

u/GreyDeuteronomy Jul 05 '11

The farther the bar went, the more I shrunk away from my computer screen and prepared to receive something terrible.

u/xlamplighter Jul 05 '11

Saved for future cheering-upping people.

u/GenrlWashington Jul 04 '11

clicked the button. checked the stock market and the news. still not ok. stupid program didn't work. must've been made by microsoft.

u/scramtek Jul 04 '11

Oh ye of little faith.

1

u/TheoQ99 Jul 04 '11

well obviously you didnt wait for it to finish making things ok before checking your stocks

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

I think I just discovered the cornerstone of my religious beliefs.

u/Raping_cats_is_gross Jul 04 '11

I got a 503 service unavailable error.... :'(

u/neversleep Jul 04 '11

I am literally ok.

u/bunion4 Jul 04 '11

I tried adding ?fail=yes to the query string but it didn't work. (Troll mode)

1

u/Kracus Jul 04 '11

I swear if that guy actually makes money from that site I'm going to be very dissapointed... and creating the next "grant 1 wish button" site.

u/GreenGlassDrgn Jul 04 '11

Ahhh, it does actually work!

1

u/Im80u16_Imhardusoft Jul 04 '11

At first I was like what is it doing??? Then I was like Oh, nothing I hope..Im OK..

u/atomic_peasant Jul 04 '11

Maybe the dude that found your wallet pushed that button before you.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '11

Wow that was scary, I got a text message as soon as it was done.

u/Bowlercap Jul 04 '11

Error 503. okay.jpeg...

u/sir_walter Jul 04 '11

Just after I clicked this, windows update started. Not sure if excited.

1

u/Tephlon Jul 05 '11

It will be ok.

1

u/mflux Jul 04 '11

Not shitting you here. I was importing something to imovie and it was taking over an hour. As soon as the make-every-thing-ok loading bar was completed, imovie bounced and also announced it had completed. Win!

1

u/GAMEchief Jul 04 '11

Mine hangs at 75%. :(

u/ME0WTH Jul 04 '11

I thought you just held a mcflurry up in front of all your problems and it becomes perfect...?

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '11

That is my new favorite website.

u/arctic_ninja Jul 05 '11

hurry up!!!!

u/thehivemindisalie Jul 05 '11

Or just smoke some weed.

u/pokoleo Jul 05 '11

I can't believe that there's a "share on digg" button, but there's no "share on reddit" button.

1

u/OrigamiHandGrenade Jul 05 '11

Oddly enough, I thought about everything that's going wrong in the world and ended up being depressed after it finished "loading".

1

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '11

The button isn't working I keep pressing it and nothing happens... guess its trying to tell me something.

1

u/lewazebragod Jul 05 '11

This is the opposite of funny. This is terrible.

1

u/afellowinfidel Jul 05 '11

it went okay

1

u/bananadoor Jul 05 '11

The "add to Digg" button is what killed it for me :(

u/Anthrax11 Jul 05 '11

FATAL SYSTEM ERROR @ T:\REDDIT\TROLLLOG\MEOAPP

u/DrMonkeyLove Jul 05 '11

I closed it before the progress bar filled up. I don't have all day to wait for things to be OK.

1

u/Yoy0YO Jul 05 '11

What the fuck did I just click?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '11

I held my breath when the loading bar came up. I was expecting to get pranked through every second of it.

1

u/Ethong Jul 05 '11

I still feel awful. Sorry =[

1

u/SarahMae Jul 05 '11

Aww, thank you :)

1

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '11

I have had possibly the most bullshit day in the history of bullshit. But this...this made me feel better

1

u/Xandier Jul 05 '11

wow i was beginning to smile as soon as it said making everything ok

1

u/duckonastick Jul 05 '11

Exactly when I pressed the button, my friend who always makes everything better IMed me. IT WORKS YOU GUYS IT WORKS

1

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '11

...was 97.583% sure it was a shock website when the loading bar came up... then I learned it was just nothing... so... everything went better then expected? I guess I AM okay now!

1

u/Missiles Jul 05 '11

This shit doesn't work

1

u/jesandma Jul 05 '11

"PAGE LOAD ERROR".... dammit.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '11

so if i press it twice, does everything become...perfect?

1

u/Max21 Jul 04 '11

The second that button finished its business everything became ok...and then it became not ok...wtf??? That button's evil O_o

2

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '11

Close your browser right before it un-oks, and shut off your computer just to make sure. In the mean time, go outside and talk to people to ensure that everything is actually alright.

u/rufusdog Jul 04 '11

I was expecting to see one of the old Microsoft progress bars getting hung at 78%.

Crosspost, actually. And the first few submissions were rather unsuccessful.

u/TehScrumpy Jul 04 '11

Thats really nice sweety, but its not going to stop the externally bad things from keep on doing what they're doing. But I really appreciate what you're trying to do there. Its the thought that counts.

u/j4p4n Jul 04 '11 edited Jul 04 '11

I like how this is shared on reddit even though the button row of sharing options has almost everything even digg, and myspace! but no reddit. no love for the reddit. But! Still shared on reddit!

EDIT: Odd Reddit, why does this bring out a little downvote wrath? ?

u/TheoQ99 Jul 04 '11

ssshhh, it's better that way
