Earbuds (reddthat.com)

We used to have earbuds that don't need to be charged because they had a headphone jack, didn't get lost so easily because they had a cord attached to a headphone jack, never lost the bluetooth connection because they had a headphone jack, and they cost less because they had a headphone jack. https://bsky.app/profile/daisyfm.bsky.social/post/3l3mfjc6sn62k

I'm here for the wired headphone -> pacific garbage patch vs lithium battery child labor -> wireless headphone fight 🍿

Or we could just have quality standards and price controls so that regular people can afford decent headphones that don't break all the time whether they prefer wired or wireless 🤷

And a worldwide ban on child labor, of course.

Don’t fool yourself. Slave labor of children is not exclusive to batteries. They make most of the world’s textiles, for example.

Did I give you the impression I was fooling myself, or were you just speaking to the wider audience?

The wording implies that the wired headphones weren’t manufactured using child slave labor.

I disagree, but I also failed English 101 so 🤷🏻‍♂️
