Hey, Nineties kids! As we’re all getting older, our beloved Furbies are as well: Thousands and thousands of Furbies are now approaching menopause, and it’s affecting everyone around them.
“I’ve owned and sold over a hundred Furbies since they launched in 1998,” says Miranda Collins, a toy collector. “And nearly all of them have grown moody, erratic, and depressed in the past year or two, signaling a massive change in their body that will hopefully subside soon.”
Wow! Those furry little creatures sure have grown up – and are slowly losing their reproductive capacity! Several other collectors have noticed a change among their Furbies, including night sweats, hot flashes, and a reduced sex drive. “We don’t really know when this will be over,” added Miranda. “But we definitely will all breathe a sigh of relief when it finally is. Several of my Furbies just won’t stop crying.” This news sure left us Millennials fumbling for our calcium supplements!
I was very confused on what the hell this was about until I saw the sub
I thought I was witnessing some sort of next level shitpost that I couldn’t comprehend
Exactly. On that note, theonion would make surreal tier shitposts, more so than they do already in a sense
You don’t start menopause at 25 years old. This makes no sense.
Furbies aren’t humans and would not expect to have a human lifecycle if they were real.
The joke is that if you had a Furby, you’re officially old.
I got the joke, but I didn’t think about furbies having different life cycles. You’ve got a good point.
Makes me sad that this implies your Furby is likely to die before you do.
I think the joke is that these “feeling old?” updates are fucking stupid and meaningless
It’s a bad joke because most people old enough to experience furbies still aren’t old enough to experience menopause.
You’re talking about people who are now in their 40s. Long way off from menopause.
If you’re at menopause age now it’s highly unlikely you had anything to do with furbies in the 90s.
Are you furbysplaining the furb metabolism? smh
I’m just here to complain about being old. Get off my lawn, you hooligans!
I didn’t know Furbies got menopause.
