I gained a stack on my brainrot debuff

That’s the toy people are so obsessed with? Call me old or something but wtf is the deal with this shit.

Remember when he refused to stop his concert while people were literally being trampled?

How does this dude still have a career?

They are ugly (apparently in a cute way) and they come in those blind packages like trading cards. There are different colors, some of which are supposedly rare.

There are a million of these stupid blind box toys now, and this one just happened to get popular on tiktok or something.

I don’t see the appeal but to each their own ¯_(ツ)_/¯

People who are slaves to trends will happily be giving away more of their money because 3 trends are merging for a limited time thing

I think its all manufactured hype. Likely no one is actually buying these things, not even the influencers. Market your product as the new craze and watch people cattle along.

Nor do I. Beanie Babies were cuter and at least you knew what you were buying.

SLaa-laan.

Next up, the skunk joins that unholy LSD trip fusion

Gambling.

There is never "a deal" with this sort of thing. It is all hype all the way down, this time combined with gambling. In some not so distant future thriftstores will be flooded with these things.

It is probably just me but that shit belongs in a mascot horror game, it is terrifying.

"Is reportedly in the works"

How hard is it to develop a recipe with basically three ingredients (it better not have soggy knufe) for a small local grocery chain?

Solid contender for a Jabba the Hutt sentence again right here

can it be stored in a stanley cup?

Man, I'm just ping-ponging between these two posts

I've seen the lines, people do buy this junk.

You're not the only one.

Now, as a skeptic myself, I say you don't have to really take much stock into what I'll say next, but multiple people I know who claim to be psychic (9), of different ages (18-56), if different religions/spirituality, all eerily said the exact same thing when I asked them (first jokingly, then out of curiosity) what they thought of Labubus.

And each one, first thing they said was "the creator made a deal with a demon". Not necessarily that the thing itself was evil (although they all got bad "vibes" from them), just that the popularity was a result of that, specifically.

I did inquire if they thought the same about previous fads (such as garbage pail kids) but they said no, just this one.

Now obviously correlation doesn't mean causation, and this sample size is tiny. I only thought it was a peculiar anecdote.

But, if there were to be a Faustian bargain to be had, fueling the climate and plastic pollution crisis via plastic figures sold in a gambling and predatory capitalistic manner does seem like something a demon would do lol.

The real question is why you claim to know so many people that claim to be psychic?
