What in the name of all that is holy is this??

This ad keeps popping up on my MN threads. WT Actual F are they trying to sell me?

It's like some sort of giant stuffed louse with an arsehole where it's head should be.

And is that a speaker in the arse-head?

I'm freaked out!

I have an ad blocker that works on the mobile site but not the app. I’d forgotten I could swap back to the mobile site, thanks for reminding me!

it’s AdGuard.

Have Temu stepped up their advertising push as I think this is the third thread I've seen this week abiut this stuffed animal 😂😂

my personal favourite is the "anti bite" thing for your cat that looks like a astronaut's helmet or fishbowl. I hope they also sell anti-claw gauntlets for wrestling your cat into one.

The tardigrade is cute.

Tentacle Baby in the corner is the stuff of nightmares.

Interesting background on Temu.

The company in question has just launched in Europe, the ads are everywhere. Don't click, don't mention 👀 or the algorithm will get you.

I remember the ginormous tardigrade monsteroony X Files episode. It was a good one. Fucking freaky though.

WTF! 😬
Love how a "sensitive image?" message came up when I attached it 😆

Please explain how "cute" and "eyeless arse-face" intersect?

Is that a sex toy for men?

So apparently they also sell crack pipes.

Absolutely no way would I be giving them my address.

I only screenshotted, did not click, otherwise I feel that a giant tardigrade brandishing a tiny saxophone might be on its way round to my house now to suck all the data and life out of me.

😆not quite, they're described as "Padded Cycling Sports Shorts, Breathable High Stretch Seamless Skinny Yoga Sports Biker Shorts, Women's Activewear". For a very affordable £9.98, reduced from £21.99. Bargain! 😉 It says 262 sold! 🤔presumable by pervy men

Can someone explain to me what the hell Temu is, why it’s suddenly popped up everywhere, why people are sharing codes for it….

I just posted an article from the evening standard that explains it. Don't worry, it's a legitimate media link.

I remember tardigrades were briefly a meme on some nerdy bits of the internet a while ago. The other weird stuff though... no idea!

Crack pipes explains a lot.

I feel bad saying this, but I lost my job in April and have lost almost three stone this year and needed summer clothes for knocking about in. For £50 I got loads and everything is ok quality, I thought they would be just for the garden but I wore trousers for dog walking and t shirt s are better than other cheapie places. There is some weird shit tho. And yes they are probably made in sweatshops and full of plastic, but at the moment it's all I can afford, so I'm sorry if that offends anyone.

Please explain how "cute" and "eyeless arse-face" intersect?

Exactly! 😂

This does look exactly like something for men to enjoy!

tardigrade's are actually quite cute & amazing little creatures

How very dare you!

I love waterbears, they’re cute 😊

@EyelessArseFace mwah!

@ChocChipHandbag 😊❤

Absolutely!

I thought it had gone but it just came up again... the eyeless arseface is really freaking me out! 😳

I've now got these. Any idea what on earth they are? Butt plugs?
