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

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

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

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

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

AW YEAH! Stress ball, you're mine

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!

One of the important lessons I learnt in DevRant.

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

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

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

The stress balls are taking over the office

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 😒

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

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.

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

Who ordered an Extra large stress ball?

Dang bullies got to my stress ball 😢

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

YOU DO NOT TOUCH ANOTHER DEVS 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

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 ++!

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

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

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:

Take a Look at my Brand new stress ball

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!

Reached 100+1 on a single rant...

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

Muaahahahhaha. Stress ball you are mine.

Remember when a stress ball was 100?

Got it! That was a looong wait!

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

!rant

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

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

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

Stress ball 😍 Come to papa

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

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

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.

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..

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 😅

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

Stress ball & Stickers arrived!
Thanks DevRant team!

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

What do you guys think of my new stress ball?

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

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!

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

Dude, I think I need a stress 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.

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

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

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

Stress ball came in 😛

Got my stress-ball + stickers today :D

Now where to put the stickers 🤔

Hi bro

Request: Need stress ball
Reason: Learning JavaScript

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

Thanks community for letting me earn a devRant sticker.

Now earn me that stress ball too 😇

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 !! "

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

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..)

finally received my swag / stress ball

arrived all the way to India

thank-you very much @dfox

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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!

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

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

!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!

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

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

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

Here’s my stress ball!

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

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

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

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...

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

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

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

Decided not to claim it in the end, though.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pick your poison

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

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! 🤓

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

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

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

but a devRant stress ball would be nice too

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

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

Why do you love devrant?

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

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...

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

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

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

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!

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!

i need a stress ball...

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

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

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

Temporary stress ball while I wait for the devRant one.

/tmp/funny_ball

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

My stress ball reached today

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

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

Some devs rant for stress ball.

I rant for my balls 😓

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

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

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

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...

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

!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.

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

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.

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.

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.

:'(

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.

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

Stress ball arrived, cheers Devrant

Fucking exams... I could realy use a stress ball now :P

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

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

I just realized how many times I could have used a stress ball when programming

Who use stress ball at work?

Stress ball level 99....

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.

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

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

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

Shameless acceptance: I am one of them.

Need a stress ball? I got them all!

Can I get a stress ball for no reason?

#somethingToSqueezePlease

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

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