It was probably just cause the OP didn’t comment the word “cockleburrs” into the thread within 30 minutes of posting, which as you all know is an egregious violation of rule #15.

Can’t get fooled again.

Lol. They weren’t all mine. I bought one for wife, a couple more for wife’s family. They didn’t all die at once, each lasted about a year and I’d replace them until I was like… wait a minute

They should have just given the money to good moderators that clean up their shitty platform

I have owned probably a dozen Fitbits over the years.

Not coincidentally, I own a dozen dead Fitbits.

Honestly you are better off buying the cheapest Chinese product on Amazon. Fitbits are pure fucking diarrhea in wearable form, and I eagerly await the class action lawsuit.

I never put this kind of plastic on the microwave. But I also worry about paper plates, which have some kind of polyethylene coating that is really really hard to find any info about online. Ive fucking eaten cheese that has been boiled on a “paper” plate, only to find that those plates were coated in some kind of polymer.

By the way, the insides of aluminum cans are coated in plastic.

Sweet dreams!

Well I found out about it later, but yes I guess I did. Got away with it too!

Temu, Shein, Alibaba and even Amazon are full of unsafe products not manufactured under sufficient quality standards.

Recently we bought some plates for a party that had gold metallic polka dots on them. I was able to use a plastic fork to scrape off these polka dots. People were eating cake off these plates. The metallic paint was going into people’s mouths.

Also, many of these products are only designed to last for a short time before they break, so we are literally filling landfills with this plastic junk we get sent over to us from China by the shipping container load.

There are a couple of fantastic episodes sprinkled in there though. One is like a Black Mirror episode with Mulder and Scully being chased by a malevolent AI. There are a few that seem like they came straight out of the 90s monster of the week episodes too.
