What is with the double yoker GAs this morning?

This happens to me a lot, but I think I know why. I don’t think someone else has to actually hit it at exactly the same time as you. I think someone just has to hit it between when you open up the page and when you hit GA. The number doesn’t continually refresh so if it was at 0 when you opened the page, it’ll stay at 0 until you hit GA, even if somebody hits it before you. If somebody hits it before you, it’ll appear to jump up to 2 when you hit it, because it has gotten 2 GAs during the amount of time you’ve been on the page. You’ll notice it happens more often when there are a lot of “observing members.”

Exactly what Mariah said.

The page simply hasn’t been refreshed yet I’ve even given a GA and watched the number jump from zero to three.

I’ve had that happen too.

Damn and I thought I had given @Seelix and @Woodcutter a double bonus GA (which they deserve of course). Thank you @Mariah and @FutureMemory for the explanation!

That has happened to me quite a few times, aye. I’m pretty sure that I got a triple one once. Maybe even a quadruple. Is that possible, or was I just stoned? But yeah, double ones, I got.

Also that example you gave…lol. :D If that egg that has two yokes in it had been inseminated by a rooster, I wonder what kinda atrocity double headed chick would have come out of there…

lol@Symbeline...well here we would say it was a Tasmanian chicken. Lots of jokes about two headed Tasmanians here. Hope there aren’t any Tassie people on Fluther :D

As our luck would have it, there prolly are. :D

Yep! For sure!

@Mariah and @FutureMemory hit the nail on the head. The GAs don’t refresh unless you refresh your page or add a GA. Sometimes I will open a page and get sidetracked. When I come back several hours later and start clicking the GAs, the numbers really jump.
