The souls of the extinct indinginous species that were mowed down by a barrage of alien test tubes fetuses shot down from The Hub that populated the earth with transforming tech dynos? Brought to you by Michael Bay, sponsored by Hasbro
As a textile geek I’ve been watching this happen for years. I bought some underpants and liked them so bought another package. The bag had a different design but I thought nothing of it. When I opened the new bag the cloth felt rougher and way flimsier. I actually weighed them and the new ones were 1 gram less than the ones I liked. Immediately noticeable.
Enshittification of the clothes on your back has been in full swing for a while.
I wish I could get away with wearing whatever I want but I work in construction so shit gets ruined almost immediately on the job. I love the dudes plaid pants.
I haven’t jumped on the wool sock thing yet that everyone goes on about, but I tried wool blankets on the bed last year and it was amazing. For much less thickness than a synthetic filled comforter, I felt as warm or warmer, but it never got that trapped heat muggy feeling when you get too hot. The too hot just didn’t happen anymore. The thermoregulation was just perfect for me.
Makes sense now why sheep are covered with wool and not polyfill 😁
PS, I’m talking simple $20 milsurp type blankets, not these fancy $100 to $1000 things I see promoted now and then.
This is obscene. I don’t have the money to look at these labels, but I had alwqys assumed you got a nice, but incredibly overpriced, product. It now seems like you just get the overpriced part. That’s ridiculous. How long can luxury brands survive purely coasting off their historical cachet?
they're basically exit scamming their brands. apparently this is a cycle that happens a lot. brand starts out nice in fancy shops, they water it down a little, they water it down a lot and now it's at walmart, and then they discontinue the brand name, having exausted it
