I made a chrome extension game where your goal is to find a daily labubu hidden in world labs' marble worlds. Github: https://github.com/akdeb/world-labubus

The Labubu phenomenon is interesting not even sure where they came from but now they're just everywhere

Guessing you’re younger. Beanie babies and trolls were the same thing for millennials.

Basically a manufactured China-backed scheme leveraging TikTok

have you ever heard of Hello Kitty? Sanrio has 13B market cap.

This is one thing you can spend your limited time on earth building

Commenting with this self-superior attitude is what you're spending your limited time on earth doing, have a little joy in your life or at least leave people who are alone.

Like spending money, if it makes you happy, it's not a waste.

Does anyone want Labubu in the real world?

[n8cpdx]

My local family donut shop now sells them and reports that they are doing well. I have seen them attached to at least one backpack out and about.

Roughy the same crowd that is excited for new pop music releases.

I see them about. Clearly somebody wants them or else nobody would buy them. I think they're adorable little figures. I don't get the hype around them though.
