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.

FFS the dead dino!
People are sick.

[Thinks, well that would beat DH finding a slow worm on the garden path]

@trulyunruly01 I hate to break this too you but all the dinos are dead.
All. Of. Them.

Grimed · 06/06/2023 17:12

Awww it's a tardegrade!!! They are cute.

mindutopia · 06/06/2023 17:12

Yep, I get that every day too. 😂

ifchocolatewerecelery · 06/06/2023 16:08

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

Why would ANYONE need that?

TheInterceptor · 06/06/2023 17:15

What's not to love about a plushy tardigrade?

PineappleRightsideup · 06/06/2023 17:16

Thank you for this post, I've been getting that too and honestly Google nothing weird... Good to know I'm not alone!

egowise · 06/06/2023 17:17

I've ordered one for my son 😄

Tiredandtested2 · 06/06/2023 17:20

Water bear/ tardigrade plushie?
do you have a mite, bug problem op?

Fandabedodgy · 06/06/2023 17:21

I'm getting it too.

I've been searching for camping gear and tourist spots in Paris.

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

"So what would you like for your birthday, dear?"

"Oh, darling, I'd simply love a pair of miniature capybaras to push into my overstretched pierced ear lobes. Wouldn't every gal? 😙"

woopdedoodle · 06/06/2023 17:33

It's every where, the only thing I have been looking at has been 4ply wool and gingernut recipes. And it's still turning up with bike shorts, so much for targeted adverts.

Tinysoxx · 06/06/2023 17:35

Its picture is right next to some black Lycra shorts with a huge exposed bright pink huge bare vulva looking bit between the legs.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 06/06/2023 15:14

I've been getting some weird looking pants.

Are they the cycling shorts ? They look like something that someone with a very niche fetish would want.

What is the pink hot water bottle headless animal thing with legs anyway? I darent click on it in case a loud siren goes off and a cloud of orange smoke erupts from my chimney.

Just got that ad on this thread!

MAREMCKENNA · 06/06/2023 15:21

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

Wasn't that on Star Trek Discovery?

GrannieD · 06/06/2023 17:46

Me too. It's off that dodgy temu site. No need to LTB

EpicChaos · 06/06/2023 17:47

@Sparklfairy It looks very much like a capybara, they're related to guinea pigs, only they're a tad bigger.
As for the shopping site - i dare not speak it's name, lest it start bombarding me with even more adverts, though my ads seem to be for the backpack and other household items - no tardigrades, or inside out trousers, yet, thankfully!
Has anyone made a successful purchase from there? Are the cheap prices just loss leaders to get you through the door, or are they generally quite cheap?

I keep getting it on Facebook all the time 🤣

Tardigrade Sing by Cosmo Sheldrake. You are welcome.

Angelofthenortheast · 06/06/2023 17:53

They're just click bait. Wish and Shien do it. They use intentionally obscure pictures that make you curious to know what the hell they are and click on the link.

Sometimes they're AI generated images of a completely imaginary product that are a combination of sex toy and window cleaner!

Pandajane · 06/06/2023 17:59

It's a tardigrade plush toy and temu is an online pyramid type mlm scheme, but I suspect you know that and this is a joke?

DoingSomethingUnholy · 06/06/2023 18:00

Price drop alert ⚠️ you might get a good deal 🤣

Dagnabit · 06/06/2023 18:10

I’ve had this advert too and I’ve definitely not been searching for headless, cuddly bugs that could double up as a sex toy….
