Yeah, I was quite surprised by this as I’m so used to how capitalism ruins everything.

This is what I read and it was a shock to me that companies not only improved the quality of the cloth when they realised people made garments from sacks, but also strove to provide fashionable designs and wash-off labels. There are some really gorgeous prints on here.

Nowadays, it feels like they would make the original packaging more coarse, then sell the product with nicer packaging at a premium, whilst making sure their logo was indelible.

Thank you for sending me down a delightful little rabbit hole looking into this

Oh wow, this is my orange doing the same thing! It’s his preferred position.

Childbirth, but my son’s birth, not mine. Lost a lot of blood and had to have meds to slow it, surgery to stop it, and a transfusion to replace it.

I don’t think anything would have got me before then, but I’m vaccinated, so who knows?

Muscled like a maiden’s fantasy!

I thought someone might have already shared this…

It was in the comments on another post a few weeks ago and I ended up watching the whole thing.

There is also a good You’re Wrong About podcast episode on this.

Of course it’s in Scunthorpe.

I met a cat in a chip shop, rubbing against everyone’s legs. Apparently he was in there often and the delivery driver would drop him home.

Outstanding

He looks like a tardigrade

Sounds good. I season it and dry it out at 90°C. It takes 30-40 minutes to get perfectly crisp with no burnt bits. I should try growing my own.

I seen stuff like this before, and I think I know how it’s supposed to work.

The “stranger” recruited the person who posted this to OP’s friend as one of 6 people. Each of those 6 people recruit 6 others, who send the books to the stranger (their friend’s friend), hence the 36. OP’s friend will be asked to recruit 6 people in turn, and each of those recruit 6, who then send books to OP’s friend.

I think it’s a bit dodgy that they’re being asked to buy new, but I’d be more concerned that these kind of schemes can be used to feel out who’s likely to fall for more sinister scams, as people feel they’re getting a lot back for very little.

Plus, it only takes a few levels (13 if my maths is right) before there are more (far more!) recruits needed than people on earth.

I have something similar! Mine is a playwright, so not on most people’s radar, unless they Google my name. It’s great.
