| 0:00.0 | What should people seriously stop buying for everyone's sake? Online IQ tests. If there was a way to |
| 0:08.6 | fail an IQ test, paying for one online would be it. Animals, if you can't take care of that animal |
| 0:15.0 | for the rest of their lives, and if you realize that you made a mistake, re-homed them. Do not set them |
| 0:20.7 | free. |
| 0:21.5 | Most of them will wreak havoc on the native ecosystem. |
| 0:24.3 | Just look at the Everglades. |
| 0:27.2 | Herbalife. |
| 0:28.2 | Does anyone else notice that those Herbalife smoothie places keep popping up all over, |

| 1:15.0 | Legos are highly resellable and giftable and tradable. Hot wheels last forever. |
| 1:20.5 | Most toys have at least a possible second life, but party favours are crap. It's just crap. These party stores are really depressing too. It's just a building full of garbage made |
| 1:25.3 | to be used for a few hours, and the kids themselves aren't even paying attention to it when they have it. |
| 1:29.8 | They'd have more fun with a puddle and some sticks. You should stop buying saltwater fish if you aren't willing to put in the effort. And there are species that just can't be kept in captivity even with the effort. 90% of saltwater fish that you see in stores except for most clowns, some |
