Keeps appearing halfway down the page on an ad.

Im talking, of course, about the object on the right, but now I come to think of it, I don't know what the blue press thing is either. But it doesn't look quite as, er, dubious as the black thing!

Object on the left, not right!

I think the object on the left is exactly what you think it is!

The blue thing on the right - a jack foot lifting things, maybe?

Doesn't answer your question but the blue thing is a totally innocent lab jack used to get lab equipment to the correct height.

The one on the left is a soft plastic paddle-tail fishing lure.

I like how they helpfully labelled the obvious flashlight but not the other two things. Perhaps they don't know either 😂

Not the exact one, but one that's similar (safe for work, unless you really don't like fishing)

Is the bendy thing a comedy golf club which doubles as an accordion?
Either that or a very scary looking dildo.

You are a genius @DogInATent :). Thank you!

@InterFactual my secret fishing habit is a secret no more ...

Normally yes but I don't think the Aliexpress, SHEIN, other super cheap Chinese company ones are. There's often one strange clickbait thing in those adverts. I'm being inundated by Temu ads at the moment.

I'm being spammed by Temu ads too. One of them has a fake hairy belly for sale. I'd love to know how many of those they sell!

I get that exact same advert and I refused to click on so thanks for finding this out.

The blue thing on the right is a lab jack.

Edit: As somebody else has already pointed out.

Nows · 18/10/2023 20:02

Have you been looking at fishing tackle too @Soubriquet?
