what is that red thing in the upper-left? It looks completely alien to me

LillyPip@lemmy.ca · 73 pts · 44d (13 replies)

Silicone cover for the part of a VR headset that touches your face. Makes it a bit more comfortable. I think this one is for a Quest.

e: I have one, it’s this:

Wow. Not the part of the body I expected it to go over.

CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 44d (2 replies)

Holy crap! Temu has been shoving that at me forever and I’ve been afraid to click on it thinking it was some kinda weird sex thing

Cort@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 44d

It being for VR headsets doesn't mean it's not for kinky sex stuff

GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 42d

It is pretty yonnic, to be completely fair.

Here I thought it was a knockoff Thighmaster

you_are_dust@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 44d

That's exactly what I thought it was too.

LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 43d

I just said that same thing and realized you were a whole day ahead of me.... Susan Summers must have done a great job at marketing that thigh master lol

QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 43d (1 reply)

just casually has the exact model lmao

LillyPip@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 40d

I didn’t get it on temu, and it’s not exactly the same. They’re all the same basic design because they have to be to work, and I happen to have a red one. They come in all colours.

Weird.

e: just for some more proof I’m not a bot:

Uh, buy my book! XD

LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 43d

So I definitely though they were trying to sell a thigh master ripping off Susan Summers or whoever that was lol

Granted, check the replies.

Not gonna lie, ads there pretty funny.

51% off femboys??

DeLancre@piefed.social · 3 pts · 42d

Well, it just looks at your buying history and suggests ads based on that. My history is like, 50/50 IT and femboy stuff: starting from socks\dresses\dragon dildos and ending with eGPU dock stations, dummy HDMI plugs, spare parts, instruments, etc.

I'm stupid, you meant 51% discount on first ad. If only, it just shitty dress. And photo model most certainly a real girl. :c

Report these to Google. Over and over again. The weird AI thirst bait ads they run are insane.

weird AI thirst bait

you know it

dlsloop@lemmy.zip · 13 pts · 44d

Sounds like something a kinky grandma would say

stepan@lemmy.cafe · 8 pts · 44d

the point of these bizarre ads is to make you share them on the internet, or with your friends. it seems to work

Yes!

Aliexpress shows me condoms when I search for 3d printer electronics, mcus and obd diagnostics... Why? Who even buys them from aliexpress? Would anyone even trust a condom from aliexpress???

Don't use TEMU. Basically, if it helps China, don't use it.

Tm12@lemmy.ca · 35 pts · 44d (6 replies)

Had me in the first half. As for the second, you don’t have a real reason besides China bad? Not even a “stop polluting by buying mass produced cheap single use shit”?

betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 44d (1 reply)

Why are you saying that like it's not a good reason?

Tm12@lemmy.ca · 15 pts · 44d

Meant more as it’s a real and easy (easiest imo) reason. “Not even a” implying they could not even muster up the brain cells to put up a real reason.

TBF China wants to kill us all and take over all the land, and they've been pretty successful in their recent attempts.

EyIchFragDochNur@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 44d

Why would China want to kill y'all? Someone has to farm the land for the new lords

DeLancre@piefed.social · 4 pts · 44d (1 reply)

I don't like china (both government and population), but this take is just shit. Sorry mate

FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 2 pts · 44d

lmfao

This some kind of reverse psychology tankie or something? I'm not like you, I feel empathy for the Chinese citizens living in that dystopian hellhole.

I can't express how much I'd rather give my money to China over any American shit. Like:

Canada/Local > most of the world > China > [...]x100 > USA/Israel

FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · -4 pts · 44d

It's your funeral. [and everyone you love.]

I notice you tacked Israel onto USA there, let's not ignore China's role in vetoing the UN Ceasefire resolution with release of hostages in the terms, arming the Hamas attack on the music festival through their support of the IRGC who rule Iran, and supporting the Trump Admin's reelection who ended all food aid into Gaza and shifted the genocide into high gear.

fushuan@piefed.blahaj.zone · -1 pts · 44d (21 replies)

Not Amazon either, denounce Walmart too, US bad.

Now, how about IKEA? Sweden probably bad. Aldi? Germany definitely bad!

Also don't you dare use your car, it helps oil corporations!!!

I'm not against not using TEMU as a concept, but your point sounds as stupid as the ones above.

PD: although, don't use Amazon, Jeff Bezos definitely globally bad.

Wrong. EU good.

IKEA is actually bad. They illegally fell trees in European forests.

NotSteve_@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 44d (9 replies)

They also hide tax money by operating as a "charity" IIRC

edit: they're operated as a non profit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA_Foundation

HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 44d (8 replies)

How do they get away as a non-profit?

Edit: Here's what I found:

You'll have to forgive me for not clicking on the links. I am lazy and I used Google overview. Most people frown at using Google overview. I understand if you do, too.

WTF is a google overview? Are you asking the AI?

Everything wrong with the USA is worse with China. You can even say that the worst part of the USA currently is Trump and he was aided in reelection by Beijing operated psyop TikTok. Fuck China, Fuck Authoritarianism.

HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 44d (7 replies)

Yeah, why hate and boycott an entire country? There are hard working folks there that need to feed their families. I used Temu a few times and never thought about the country the store is from. I just wanted to see the product. So far, clothes off Temu aren't that bad.

FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · -1 pts · 44d (6 replies)

The people in that country have a responsibility to do something to stop the authoritarian assholes in charge. Until that point, all harm inflicted upon them as a result of their notoriety is deserved and their own fault.

HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 44d (1 reply)

How do you suppose they do that? You think it is that easy to lead a revolt!?

FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 1 pts · 44d

It wouldn't be the first or the last revolt. If Xi "Poopy Pants Pooh" Jinping weren't afraid of it he wouldn't keep executing generals and parliament members.

French Monarchs fell, Russian rulers fell twice, most English colonies threw off their own shackles.

In your opinion, what country's products are okay to buy, then?

FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 0 pts · 44d (2 replies)

Definitely not the fucking shorter list.

Blacklist any country with any form of aggressive military operations: Russia, China, USA, Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Indonesia, etc.

Chozo@fedia.io · 1 pts · 44d (1 reply)

So what countries (with any considerable exports) are left to choose from then?

FiniteBanjo@feddit.online · 1 pts · 44d

Well if you subtract the ones I listed and India (or maybe not depending on the evidence in the Pakistan conflict) then bout 187 including Taiwan, the entire EU, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, etc.

But more realistically probably like 130 depending on how you draw the line and after excluding aggressors in Africa and South America.
