The first time I had ever heard about labubus was the last episode of South Park. I thought they were just some dumb thing Matt and Trey came up with to use as a vehicle to talk about the tariffs, then I learned they were actually real.

Labubus are still a thing? I thought that wave of idiocity had passed already?

I think the company lost like a quarter of its value recently

I wonder how many containers of those thingies are still shipping around the globe…

Not just yet. Now that the knowledge of Labubus is mainstream they will go out of fashion soon. But there will be one last wave while normies pretend to be fashionable.

Honestly thought South Park made them up, I had never heard of them before that. It’s beanie babies all over again.

I am a good benchmark for this stuff. If I know what Labubu is because I had to find it on Urban Dictionary then it has run its course.
The other canary is NPR. Anything on NPR is a dead meme.

I can afford a labubu. But why would I buy one
simplejack@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Because the social safety net is broken and gambling on rare labubus is your retirement now.

The screenshot is bad enough that I can't tell if this is a troll where they took a picture of the back of one, or where they actually collected that much dog hair for a joke photo.

I just yesterday watched a video by Emma Thorn making fun of people who think these are demonic. Never heard of them before
