Lol, I posted the woodchipper as the most irresponsible purchase, but this is definitely the worst one.

The problem I've had with cheap sunglasses, like bought from a wandering vendor, is that they look fine at first, but then after a few days one of the lenses was noticeably darker than the other, gave me headaches until i noticed what was up.

My understanding is that's just how they communicate that it's super squishy, it's like stepping on a turd. I guess the impression is stepping deeply into poo poo is gross but it would also feel really soothing, so this is a way to approximate that without actually having to step in poo poo.

I'm guessing it's a machine translation thing where mud/dirt/soil/poo poo is ambiguous.

Either that or someone saw that the first "stepping in poo poo" product was selling better than theirs so it started spreading.

I feel like I’ve been burned on stupid pricing about 17 times today, either the bait and switch where a single part is $5 and the actual product you wanted is $55, or the $15 item with $34 post. Such loving bullshit, I wish they’d stop it because seeing the price jump doesn’t magically make me decide to buy your crap.

Unrelated to price games, what kind of magic is required to make grid notebooks / grid notebook paper? How does an extra set of lines cost so much more than regular rules notebooks?

Aliexpress really needs to crack down on this poo poo. They could easily force the product images to be from the variant corresponding to the price, and show shipping (if it's not free)



Nope of course this oscilloscope is like $180 and $48 is for a small portable single channel scope like the one I got a while ago.

I love the fake troll-physics ones because people ahve a laugh thinking it couldn't be possible just expecting regular old troll-physics like a deskfan on a skateboard with a sail. Then tehy realise tehy just learnt something with stupid pictures. Now what I want to see is a university level physics book illustrated entirely in that type of illustraion.

MA-M annihilation would be more efficient. If you could find the A-M, and somehow harness the photons.

Perhaps by direct capture to convert into heat. Heat that could be used to boil some sort of liquid into a vapour that could turn a turbine...
