  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 have one of those because it’s the only damn 2L metallic closeable bottle I could find to refill twice everyday.

    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 want to see someone make a fully articulated one of these with custom software running on it so it writhes along with whatever furby stuff it’s doing.

        the image probably just didn’t load. if you view the comment’s source, the ! before the link to the image loads it on the page instead of having to click through.

      How many have fallen off their container ship and are mow adrift, waiting to be dug up from the seafloor in 200 years
