To ask wtf has my DH been searching for to return this advert?

I've told him I'm asking wtf this is because I'm far too scared to click on the link. Apologies for crappy picture I don't know how to screenshot on his equally crappy PC.

I’m getting that too! I have no idea what it is or what it’s for, and I’m scared to click on the link in case! I think the advertising is for Temu rather than a specific item.

MK19590 · 06/06/2023 15:13

I got that one too! I've been browsing AliExpress (direct from China factory website)

Thesunnymood · 06/06/2023 15:14

I get bdsm and male gay "instruments" ads from these shitty sites. 🤷

strawberrywhisk · 06/06/2023 15:14

I've been getting it too

OhComeOnFFS · 06/06/2023 15:14

It's on the MN site, OP. You've probably clicked on it by accident. There's a different photo each time, all looking really vile.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 06/06/2023 15:14

I've been getting some weird looking pants.

Needmorelego · 06/06/2023 15:15

That comes up on every temu ad I get on every website I go on.
I have no fricking idea what it is. I'm starting to get a fondness for it. Strange little guy 🤣

BarbaraofSeville · 06/06/2023 15:15

I think the company is a new one that's probably hoping to become another Shein/Wish/Alibaba type importer.

It might not be anything to do with your DHs search history, it might just be something aimed at his demographic, as identified from his social media profiles.

Dare I ask what that thing is?

I know it looks dodgy, but that's coming from me who kept thinking DP had a sex toy on his Amazon wishlist, but when I looked properly, it was a cycling accessory.

Thesunnymood · 06/06/2023 15:15

Btw it's water bear

EnigmaticIcelandShopper · 06/06/2023 15:16

I was going to say Tardigrade 🤣

Chypre · 06/06/2023 15:17

"Tardigrades, known colloquially as water bears or moss piglets, are a phylum of eight-legged segmented micro-animals"
Is your husband a nature enthusiast? :))

arghtriffid · 06/06/2023 15:17

Eh? A water bear?

Waveifyouknowme · 06/06/2023 15:18

That is funny.

I must admit I'm a little relieved that he doesn't have some sexual predilection for giant lice.

Someone posted the same pic and question on the chat thread, they were getting same ad. Look there for some answers, I didn't read it myself

BreviloquentBastard · 06/06/2023 15:19

It's a cuddly tardigrade! I've had it advertised too, I have no idea why, although it's the sort of thing my daughter would probably like. She loves creepy crawlies and weird animals.

The bizarre padded cycling shorts I've seen though I really have no idea.

It's a tardigrade! Please Google them, they're amazing!

ailsamaryc · 06/06/2023 15:21

Well I had to click on it cause I had to know, it's actually a soft toy. When it's a real thing it's an insect - as someone else said called a water
bear

Aprilx · 06/06/2023 15:23

I have seen that too and I have no idea what it is.

BohrMagneton · 06/06/2023 15:23

I saw that too, who the fuck wants a teddy of a bug???😂

Your message should come with a warning. Amazing is not the word I'd use to describe them. Makes me want to reach for the insecticide.

They are cute!

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 06/06/2023 15:26

It's from the same site as the dodgy flick knife ring thing someone posted on here yesterday isn't it? I keep getting the same adverts pop up on my FB page and I haven't even clicked on any

Wicksytricksy · 06/06/2023 15:27

I get that one too. I do not like it.
