RVs. They aren’t insulated fully. Nothing is sealed correctly. All the electronics that are “fancy and new” are outdated and inefficient. The manufacturers use the cheapest materials possible AND all RVs are built in 8 hours. A vacation home. On wheels. In 8 hours!? —Leftydude777

Certain signed art work. Used to work at an art printing company that we did signature editions of certain pieces. Guess who did the signing me and some coworkers, we were all design and art majors so they just had us learn all the artists signatures, we even had machines that could mimic the signatures too, I wish I had a picture of the devices they were pretty cool. It was in the fine print that we were doing it and was approved by the artists but I guarantee most people would never buy the prints if they knew the signatures were forged. So always read the fine print when buying items, especially “special” editions of stuff. —Dr_Edge_ATX

Seriously though, most baby powder is made with talcum, which is potentially carcinogenic since it works via breaking down into some of the finest pieces we can make, fine enough to cause problems for your cells.
Use cornstarch, we have too much of it, it works by absorbing the moisture. The only caveat is that you have to make sure to shower if off of you regularly enough that it doesn’t mould on you, but that shouldn’t be a problem for someone that showers at least once a week. —crazybmanp

I had an ex become a vegetarian when she learned how hotdogs were made.
Shortly afterward her family was having a barbecue. Her dad went to the grocery store to get everything. When he came back he said “I remembered you’re a vegetarian so I got you some Turkey burgers.” She was obviously upset, but at least he tried. —Rubber_Duckiex

Mica products. I watched a documentary about mica mines in areas where child labor tends to be exploited and the interviewer asked this girl about her experience and she described how her sister died in the mine and she’s still working there.
Mica is in almost all beauty products and due to the change of hands it can be hard to determine if natural mica is actually ethically sourced. However, after watching some soap making videos, I’ve discovered that Mad Mica sells sparkly stuff that neother puts children at risk nor destroys the environment with microplastics. For those who want their cake and want to eat it too. —hi_im_a_coffeeholic

“Buy” might be a stretch, but porn. When abuse happens there, not only is it pretty abominable, but the end-user also watches a good bit of it with their own eyes. —Rhodie114

People always point at Apple for exploiting Chinese labor but don’t realize that pretty much every company does the same thing and most of them use the exact same factory as Apple. It’s called “Foxconn” not “Apple”. They make everything. —throwawayannon8675
