Fading Labubu frenzy wipes $16.7 billion from Pop Mart shares
(www.straitstimes.com)
All my apes, funged!
funged
They said it was not possible!
I know the tulip market is bouncing back any day.
Tulips? That's stupid. I got my money in Beanie Babies.
You idiot. The real money, the real investment is in pogs!
I knew those McDonald's collectibles would come in handy one day.
Nfts mate. That's where it's at!
Jesus Christ, this is a real thing? I honestly thought it was invented on the latest South Park as a joke
No, they've been huge on tiktok for months. Whether or not they are being used for satanic rituals is up for argument
Just the latest beanie babies, pretty much. Same as always.
The name sound exactly like some dumb made up name South Park would pick to make fun of something. How in the fuck is it a real thing?
Because nothing is infinite, but human stupidity comes close.
The name and character are from a children's book and for that it's a fine name.
That was where I first heard of it.
Trey Parker really raising his daughter to be the most foul-mouthed person in the world lool (she voiced 1 of the girls who fought for the lebubus, and ike). Bro taught her the word bitch before she even learnt her ABC's 🤣🤣🤣
Also yeh lebubus are js pokemon cards without the longevity that unlike pokemon will be completely irrelevant in like a yr, watch.
Oh no! My pog collection!

Hope everyone enjoys their worthless plastic
I just heard about Labubus, and now they are already over?
What am I going to do with the $25,000 in Labubus that I just bought over the weekend?
Idk, just don't get divorced or that courtroom picture of choosing who gets which will stick around forever.
The post is misleading. Yes share price went down by a large amount in absolute terms but their market cap is still 60 billion.
Up 430% for the year.
The market is finally coming around. Soon all these Cabbage Patch Kids I have will skyrocket in value!
Can I buy an NFT of that?
That depends, how much were you looking to spend?
About tree fiddy.
People keep laughing at idiots buying this but the forget that someone made billions on it. Yes, it's a stupid "investment" for an average person but a genius play by the company selling this.
all because of the stupid woman who made a racist labubu.
What about pet rocks?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
