...just like Gaben wants.

Edit: Wow, thanks for the gold!

Myself and several like-minded redditors have been documenting the button since its arrival, here are our findings, in various statistical formats.

Update 23:52:00 hrs (UTC) 06 April 2015: Hey guys, I managed to get the data restored and up to date on the spreadsheet, and the post here is updated to 3000 minutes in. I will no longer update the post here with new data, but I will attempt to keep the spreadsheet up to date in the forseeable future.

Notes

The spike at 570 was probably caused by the delay between my data stopping and /u/TheOriginalSoni2 picking it up, however the two other spikes at 150 and 970 have no known causes.

If you notice any possible miscalculations or typos, let me know!

Cheers for Gold!

The timer goes down when buttons aren't being pressed, but if we use them all now, we won't be able to keep pressing the button later!

Edit: Yes, my fellow Redditors, it was only after I pressed the button that I realized my mistake =(

Edit 2: Gold?? 'Tis meaningless when the most valuable possession I had was wasted before 9:10:01... (but thank you)

Edit 3: There are two groups, button-pressers and non-button-pressers. As the number of people visiting this subreddit starts to drop, us button-pressers will turn to you non-button-pressers to keep this timer alive! Save your presses, and be one of our last hopes...

Edit 4: Welp we're on /r/all guys. SPREAD THE MESSAGE!

DON'T PUSH THE BUTTON!

=

Question: ...But what exactly is the button? =

Answer: It is simply an experiment to see how long it takes before someone pushes the button. The timer resets itself to 60.00 seconds when someone, including you, pushes the button. We have not seen it go down to 0000 yet. So don't do it! Fight the urges! Don't be a weakling like me! Reddit won't explode, I swear.

=

^{This is the only strategy I can come up with, guys. We must all work together and form a mighty faggot! Before you non-pushers judge me for pushing the button, I had no idea what the button did or what it is altogether, and I'm guessing those who are pushing the button right now don't know what it is and does either.}

TL;DR: Just don't touch the butt. Icky yucky poopoo.

edit: * Correction: Non-presser. I hope I didn't offend anyone.

edit 2: Some people are claiming that the timer did go down to zero and nothing happened...? What sick twisted game are the admins playing?? We need to end this madness, once and for all!!!1!

edit 3: It's been 6 hours since my last edit. If anyone here is out of the loop, we've discovered that a set of seconds have corresponding colours, most likely of the rainbow. Now it's non-presser's goal to get a red flair.

edit 4: Marvel at my rebirth 15 days after my initial post! The second coming is here!

Thank you for your participation.

edit: summary blog post

NEW: GOOGLE DOCS with ALL NAMES https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v7RV0R9Q133W2QAJSAEqAFrf5v-ACukyQ4py-iWl0jQ/htmlview?sle=true

the doc most likely will replace this thread as the main catalogue

if you are interested in helping out, look here

Here, you can find proof that the timer is decreasing, and the few users with impeccable timing who managed to press it. Please comment below if you know of an addition to this list!

USE THIS TO FIND HOW LOW THE TIMER HAS ACTUALLY BEEN

HOW TO FIND YOUR NUMBER

After pressing the button, simply refresh the /r/thebutton and look to the righthand sidebar. The dot next to your name will reveal what time you pressed it at! I don't take screenshots as proof!! (thanks to /u/michiforjoy for the suggestion)

KEEP IN MIND

Those who are rare now may become as common as the rest of us. When 10 users of one number have been located, I will stop adding those of that number to the list. Look at the Google Doc for the complete catalogue.

If the law catch me in the act and i happen to die 2day, please contact any of the other contributors for issues about editing. Like some other redditors, we lie in bed with our eyes shut for a third of the day, but don't fret, we'll update when we can!

Please comment and/or link to a post to add a user to this list. Thank you for your support!

There, I said it. At least no one will see this due to the MILLION PRESS OMG CRAZY shenanigans going on here. At least it's off of my chest

Edit 1 xD

Edit 2: I karmawhore'd and won. gg no re

Yes, I'm a 60s. There should be a way to recognize those WITH willpower versus those not able to demonstrate it.

Don't press it.
