Has anybody here ever tried Temu? - tchncs

So I saw an ad for this cool looking led strip thing you can put in your car and then it has lots of settings. Clicked the link and it took me to Temu, figure sure I’ll give it a go and download the app. OMFG what the heck is this gamified shopping? When it loaded I swear to Odin it went like a casino and said you can get the item you clicked on for free and you can choose another 5 items. So I’m browsing through all this crap I don’t really want and adding things to move on. After selecting all free items it then said you win again or something and gave me more things to pick. Then at the end it’s like right spend $35 to get all the other stuff for free, but said the original thing I clicked to get was not available. It’s like a bait and switch and I’m thinking I don’t any of this really I just wanted the cool led strip thing and to be left alone. Honestly I really can’t believe people would use this place at all.

99% of modern, mainstream things are brainrotted, clickbait scam. Including Temu, ofc.

You’re much better off supporting local, physical business, if you can afford it. Because I can guarantee you that Temu shit will not last for much longer than their return policy.

Temp, the online equivalent to Harbor Freight.
This is blasphemy. Harbor Freight is a saint compared to Temu.

HF tools are not designed for the long term, generally. If you need a tool to work at least once, for one job that you are never going to do again, HF is “good enough”.

The rule of thumb is to never buy a tool there that could result in a gruesome death if it fails to protect your life, like jack stands. (Invest in quality safety equipment first if you get something like an angle grinder.)

I bought a Harbor Freight brand SawStop and honestly I’m almost typing at full speed again on 9 fingers now
