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.

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.

Whaaat noooooo! They can survive radioactive environments and being sent to space. Plus they're pretty cute really.

WhereYouLeftIt · 06/06/2023 15:33

Ooh, I've had that advert too! A cuddly-toy tardigrade. I was actually quite tempted ...

Skyrim41 · 06/06/2023 15:36

They are in the microverse they are probably immortal.

And the pants look like cycling shorts or pants to me - often photographed inside out, as the "chamois" (padding) is important and a buyer would want to see what it looks like.

Bloody Temu has ads everywhere and soooo tiresome.

SocksAndTheCity · 06/06/2023 15:38

I want a cuddly tardigrade 😀

mondaytosunday · 06/06/2023 15:40

I get all sorts of ads (yes that one too, which I actually think is quite innocent) and I promise I have never searched for porn or anything like it. But looking at my email spam folder I'm an inadequately endowed male looking for any kind of kinky hook up going!

ChrisTrepidation · 06/06/2023 15:45

It's a water bear. Cutie.

Evenstar · 06/06/2023 15:48

I’m buying things ready to get chickens soon and it keeps coming up for me. I didn’t dare click on it, even though I hadn’t looked up anything dodgy, so thanks for this!

Socksorting · 06/06/2023 15:52

A tardigrade would make a great Dr Who monster.

TinyTear · 06/06/2023 15:54

i guess none of you have kids the age to have seen tardigrades on the octonauts!

starfishmummy · 06/06/2023 15:59

I haven't had that one, but I'm getting all sorts of ads from Temu for stuff that I have never searched for, so I don't think it relates to something your dh has done!

I mean this is clearly a cute toy tardigrade!! Come on OP, did you not know your DH was into microscopic creatures? Maybe it's a surprise gift for you 😏

CrepuscularCat · 06/06/2023 16:06

A giant tardigrade actually was a monster in "Star Trek Discovery", if I remember correctly. He certainly wasn't all cute and cuddly!

ChristmasCwtch · 06/06/2023 16:08

I keep getting that ad. It’s so weird

ifchocolatewerecelery · 06/06/2023 16:08

At least you don't appear to have had this one from them

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.

Ok this got a laugh out of me! 😂

Sunshineishere1988 · 06/06/2023 16:11

Ive had that come up too! 🤷🏼‍♀️

OnMyWayToSenility · 06/06/2023 16:14

I looked up zoopla house prices yesterday, it went to an odd page full of e bay adverts.. got side tracked and came back to my phone full of emails from e bay for some very weird stuff 🤣

hyggeb · 06/06/2023 16:17

I've got this & a baby head on octopus body, wtf?! not searched anything remotely linked

Sparklfairy · 06/06/2023 16:21

This is the one that keeps making me look twice. I still have no idea what it is but my mind keeps thinking the worst intimate piercing

I’ve been getting this come up and wondering WTF It is 😳

wildinthecountry · 06/06/2023 16:23

There have been a few threads on here regarding Temu , definitely causing a stir ,not that I've clicked on the ads 🙈

mybestchildismycat · 06/06/2023 16:24

Not only did I served get that ad, but I went ahead and bought one!!! It's for DD's birthday, she's going to love it. Probably the only time I have ever bought something from a random ad!

Passerillage · 06/06/2023 16:24

The baby head on the octopus body was a (very cute) outfit/novelty item that an instagram influencer posted maybe two years ago, that seems to have cropped up on these Temu ads now.
