Michael Reeves let software and Twitter decorate his room for him

Earlier this month Michael Reeves – who you may remember for his tomato piercing “3D printer” – offered up an opportunity to anyone on Twitter. Help Reeves decorate his room by posting links to Amazon products, and the reply with the most likes after a while would be automatically purchased by a bot and sent directly to him.

The original tweet can be viewed here and comes with some caveats, such as disallowing duplicate purchasing and a $25 limit on each purchase (though this was raised near the end).

This bot would make the decision on the final product to be bought every 15 minutes for a full 24 hours hours. By our count that should be 96 purchases, but the thumbnail of the video (embedded below) states that there were 100 packages. This is either rounding the number up or some single purchases were split into multiple packages.

Now, two weeks later, all the packages have arrived and Reeves has revealed the bounty that Twitter had decided on. Did the internet band together and decide on items that were thoughtful with interior design in mind? No, of course not, most if not all of the purchases were done for humour’s sake.

Because of this Reeves is now the proud owner of countless items focused around K-Pop band BTS, The Big Bang Theory, Minecraft and Rick and Morty. The last one especially leaned into the dead Pickle Rick joke with many bottles of pickle juice being delivered along with various other official Pickle Rick merchandise.

Our favourite item, however, is the iCarly cologne which is still listed on Amazon but is, unfortunately, no longer for sale. Strangely enough, while searching for this illustrious product, we came across the iCarly iRock perfume, which is on sale. Huh.

The full reveal of what Twitter decided to buy can be watched below, along with a very fragmented explanation of how exactly the Twitter purchasing bot works.
