I wonder how many stared without protection, and how many were scammed with fake glasses.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm going to lean more towards fake glasses (benefit of the doubt and what not)

Fake products have been really popping off on Amazon for awhile now

Why would you give people the benefit of the doubt? We're stoopid.

Some are stupid, absolutely

But we can all easily be screwed over by fake products

Shit I got a fake SanDisk SD card a few years ago from Amazon, only found out after the return period because of how long it took to fill. Now I only buy storage from local electronics stores (when I can) and even then I test them.

It's not all Amazon's fault. Sometimes people buy a thing, then return it "unopened" because reasons, when, what they actually did, was remove the MacBook from the package and replaced it with a brick, then shipped it back to Amazon for a refund. Free MacBook.

Amazon restocks it because it was "unopened" and ships a fucking brick in a MacBook box to someone for thousands of dollars.

But yes, many, many, MANY, expensive products on Amazon are fake. Even not expensive ones too.

All Hawaiians using glasses as it should be.

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What glasses. Cardboard with slits.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

But that just projects a shadow of what's happening. I needed the full experience. So yes, idk what glasses people were needing, I could see the sun perfectly fine. The spots and eye-pain afterward was just a bonus feature

Where can you find these graphs?

[–] Zoop 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

It looks like it's Google Trends, if I'm remembering correctly. If you search for that name, the page should come up, but I believe it's at trends.google.com. They're super interesting to look at!
