Fuck Amazon but it would be nice if we had an FDA to get rid of this crank magnet health product that WIRED is promoting.
Wait, vag magnets are pseudoscience?! My partner has an entire data center’s worth of HDD magnets up hers to ward the evil crotch spirits away!
/s
wait…is pillowpants real?!
Well duh, every woman has a pussy goblin until she pees it out on her 21st birthday!
Once I order tampons on Amazon. They just put a shipping label directly on a single box.
I’m not embarrassed by stuff like that, but how weird.
Christ, I wish Americans would get over their embarrassment that half their population has a vagina.
We also renamed the Cockerel to Rooster.
Embarrassment? To me it looks like they want control.
Definitely a control thing.
THIS IS A CHRISTIAN MINECRAFT SERVER. SUCH LANGUAGE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
This feels like a reference to a streamer video I’ve never seen
The better odds are on control.
Go ahead and search the word dildo into Amazon.
Not loving guns and murder? Unamerican communist!
Talking about a lady’s body parts or for that matter anything remotely related to sexuality? Jesus Christ won’t someone please save our children from this fate worse than death!?
Right now…you might want to start loving guns.
I don’t know if you haven’t noticed but there are literal nazis in the Whitehouse.
This anti-gun shit needs to stop from progressives. The fascist already have them.
Idk about the urban left, but us in the rural left have been armed our whole lives.
I’d say it’s the urban left, I’m like you rural and left and armed.
You’ll never out gun the fascist Republicans. Stop this pro gun BS.
I’m sure people said similar to the French Resistance regarding the Nazis/Vichy government…
Did you know you can just buy shoe polish? You don’t have to find a boot to lick it off.
Sure thing. The future is very unpredictable but live by the sword die by the sword has always held true. Enjoy your redneck toys while you can American.
So… you’re not even American…lol way to have an opinion that doesn’t concern you.
I love the us americans in this thread, chest thumping “muh guns for freedom, there’s nazis in government”. M8, where the fuck were you and your guns before they reached the government?
Shit, if anything, we’ve seen how useless you shitheads are with a gun, an ear lobe is not a vital organ. The fucking most armed nation on earth and the average guy doesn’t know the nr 1 rule of shooting someone from a distance: “YOU AIM FOR THE BIGGEST TARGET YOU CAN GET, NOT THE HEAD”
He missed way worse than you think. Trump wasn’t shot in the ear. If anything it was shrapnel. No bullet came close trump that day.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Hypocrisy. Bought some lube on amazon, and they sent a print pamphlet ad for vibrators to my parents adress addressed to me but now they want to talk about embarrassing?
Since when does Amazon send printed ads?
I think it was sold by a third party
It’s not something often, i’ve only received 3, usually around holidays.
But Amazon has no problems with the sale of adult toys? Hypocrites!
I actually bought a sex toy on Amazon a week ago and I was pissed that they asked for my driver’s license to purchase it. WTF? What a screwed up country we live in.
Funny story… had a friend who was very early adopter of the Amazon Alexa devices. Me being a nerd knew all the things it could do including ordering things on Amazon so I proceeded to say “Alexa, order a 55gal drum of KY jelly” to order a 55gal drum of lube. He had to go into Amazon to cancel the order (I also knew how to do that so I wasn’t worried) but the suggestions he got for the longest time were hilarious.
The funny part is that there’s very little reason to actually buy a barrel of lube. In porn, they just mix their own lube using distilled water (available cheaply from virtually any grocery or hardware store) and a dissolvable powder. There’s not a good reason to ship wet lube in bulk, because freight shipping is calculated by weight and you’re essentially just paying to ship water. The added benefit is that the porn makers can mix the lube to be a thinner or thicker consistency, depending on their specific needs.
For the curious, look up J-lube, X-lube, K-lube, or Fist Lubricant Powder. And yes, all of the above are available for purchase on Amazon.
And to drive the point home that you’re just paying for freight shipping… J-lube powder is currently $26.77 for 10oz, which makes 10 liters of lube when mixed per the manufacturer’s recommended dosage. So $26.77 for 10 liters, plus probably $3 for the distilled water you need to mix it with. Let’s round up to an even $30 in total. The barrel is currently $1775.32 for 7080fl.oz, or ~209.4 liters. So the barrel is ~$8.47 per liter, while the dry powder mix is ~$3.00 per liter. The barrel is almost 3x as much per liter as the dry powder.
I did not expect this much detail on this topic. There were discussions about detergents and such in another thread. And the logic is exactly the same.
Dont ship water.
(This needs to go in a Lemmy hall of fame)
This guy lubricates.
Username checks out.
Gotta respect that math, but value might still be possible.
55 gallons of water weighs about 459lbs (208kg), so that barrel is in that range.
Get 10 friends to chip in and order the barrel. Use those 10 friends to lift and leave that barrel somewhere that is highly visible, like the front porch of an ex-wife or ex-husband. Maybe your local police station if you are from a small town?
If that is worth $1,700 to someone, I can’t really say. I have paid more (per pound) for less significant practical jokes before though.
(It would be cheaper to use another barrel, actual water, and just fake the package label though. Real lube would just be for show but it would show that you have great attention to detail.)
You should probably lube the outside after placing it in it’s position as well.
You just gave me an idea for the worlds fastest slip-n-slide, actually.
You better tag me when you make a post here a year from now that you’ve made it into the book of guiness world records. I don’t wanna miss that.
I suspect the barrel of lube is largely a joke.
Diddy ain’t gonna mix up his own lube
This isn’t fair at all, some of us bathe in that stuff
… let’s see where this goes. The us is now a conservative country. Sex toys aren’t conservative.
I would be much more embarrassed having a potent punani than buying products. 🤷🏿♀️
Lol but they are fine with reminding me constantly of the one time I bought syringes for “a friend” with addiction years ago.
Edit: to be clear I don’t use Amazon anymore as of last year and this is another good reason why.
Bought replacement float and toilet seat last week to fix my aunts toilet.
Amazon now thinks I’m a toilet repair technician or some shit. I see nothing but different kinds of floats, stoppers, tank gaskets, seats, bidets, anything that can go in or on a toilet, Amazon thinks I need.
I’ve never been ad bombarded this hard before, and it’s about toilet parts.
That’s the advanced cutting edge AI recommendation system for you. Oh, you just bought a fridge and a large TV? Here are fifty more fridges and large TVs that would be great for your fridge and large TV collection! And also a cheap Chinese knockoff impact drill, because they paid us to show it to people searching for fridges, TVs, jewelry, mineral water and potting soil!
Things people bought together: three different stand-up fridge-freezer combos
I bought a bidet like six years ago (right before the pandemic) and Amazon is convinced I need to buy another one every single week. How many toilets do you think I have, Amazon?
Well Bezos probably has like 20 toilets in each of his mansions, so he’s just skewing the averages.
All of the recommendations go through a mandatory “Bezos Filter”
Looking up Vuva, they sell neodymium magnet embedded dildos. I can’t speak to the medical efficacy, I’m just saying what they look like.
Somehow Amazon doesn’t like that but is OK with actual dildos?
I think a lot of people are confused by this. If you order sex toys on Amazon, they don’t then flood your feed with more sex toys because they have it marked as “embarrassing.” I think the article is saying this product got a similar classification, not that it isn’t available.
Oh my god, it’s so bad.
“Soft tissue lengthens, relaxing muscles and ligaments. As the tissue relaxes, the Neodymium magnets increase blood flow to the area calming nerves and promote relaxation. VuVa™ are the only patented sets available with Neodymium magnets.”
“Magnetic Therapy is based on the premise that all living organisms exist in a magnetic field, including the human body. The human body generates its own magnetic field. Therefore, the body can heal itself when electromagnetic energy is in balance.”
It’s like those stupid magnet bracelets and elbow wraps, only for your vagina. It’s all woo.
The product is a vaginal dilator, which has evidence supporting its use in treatment of several medical conditions. The distinction from a dildo has more to do with intended use than form.
The magnets are just woo.
Oh, no disagreements with dilators; they’re essential for e.g., women with vaginismus that want to have ‘normal’ sexual relationships.
As the tissue relaxes, the Neodymium magnets increase blood flow
Uhm, no, the iron in your blood isn’t in a ferromagnetic form.
Magnets are snake oil. They have no effect on the human body. Don’t waste your money.
I disagree. The human body is mostly water. Water is slightly diamagnetic. Therefore, a sufficiently strong magnet is capable of levitating a human body off the ground.
Magnets can definitely have an effect, just not at puny neodymium magnet levels!
I have a strong but as of yet untested theory that no human will ever levitate based on magnitized internal human water.
A magnet sufficiently strong enough to levitate a human based on the water in the body is more likely to remove the water from the body instead.
It works on frogs. The force is distributed over the whole body, so it’s no worse than gravity is on our bodies.
Obligatory
Dude, what the fuck!
It’s about time to boycott the fuck out of those Nazi boot lickers
