My tomogatchi didn't fare well after I forgot it in my pants and it went through the washing machine.

To the credit of the image, I feel like most humans wouldn't fare well in a washing machine either
A friend of mine in my 20's rode around in a dryer once when he realized he was short enough to fit entirely inside 🤣
It happens to the best of us.
Is that a Tamagotchi in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
I'm told that a step-brother can help for these kind of situations.
Fitbit is dead, they don’t even sell them anymore. Tbf fitbit is to smart watches what an iPod shuffle is to smart phones
Fitbits are used to describe smartwatches the same way tablets are called ipads.
Man, I miss the simpler times of just being able to enjoy a Tamagotchi. I got mine roughly 18 years ago for my 8th birthday because I needed to have one to play with my elementary school friends and it was all I needed in terms of games. I had a PSP and played on PC but the Tamagotchi was just awesome to have and take with you to school, to friends, to relatives and look out for. I'd play with friends, visit their Tamagotchis, get married, have kids... Their website was awesome too because you'd be able to type in a special password on their website generated by your Tamagotchi to essentially roam around the website with your pal and play games and shop for items and stuff. Even though Tamagotchis didn't have any internet of their own, you'd essentially be connected to the entire Tamagotchi world through a simple website. Might be remembering some things wrong - don't quote me on any of this lol
I remember visiting family in Ukraine where I used to take it with me and play with neighbourhood kids. We'd play some kinda war game (ironic) and I'd look at the watch of my Tamagotchi as if I'd be able to see bomb timers on it (idk, don't ask me).
Idk just random tidbits I was just reminded of. All of that to say, Tamagotchis are awesome and kids nowadays are worse off not having them around. Maybe I should dig mine up at my parents' and see if it still works. Just need a CR2032 battery
They're still around, just not that popular.
No they aren't, Tamagotchi's are fun.
