  • “Through this research, kids told us that it was important for Furby to be their ultimate best friend – a furry companion to do all the things a BFF would do, like dance to music, share fortunes, meditate, mimic each other in silly voices, and even put on a light show, and that’s exactly what we created.”

    I love picturing small children setting up elaborate light shows for their best friends






  • There is overlap with some of the community members believing in 2 suns so not all of them will be open to logic. I figure it will be nice to actually have an understanding of the thing I support so I can answer questions more confidently.

    It always gets me how these people will get xrays, go through airport security, own smart phones, use induction stoves, microwaves etc but when you try and improve the infrastructure they complain about, suddenly you’re Big Tech and trying to kill them with secret deep state Gs.








  • When you say clouds are these like little mini servers? Just super localised so they don’t have to go as far and can respond quicker?

    Was 4g on the same plane as usual talk/text? Does it have to go all the way to a bigger cloud through the tower instead of just to the tower?

    Also this all sounds really good i really don’t understand the hate. Is it just because it’s new? Tbf, it seems to be the same people who believe in chemtrails and a few who believe in 2 suns but they are getting into politics now which is worrisome




  • Both main producers are India and China. Good On You estimates roughly 50% of the processing chemicals are escaping into the environment and employees manufacturing bamboo and other natural fibre synthetics (viscose, rayon) are exposed leaving some with neurological issues.

    It’s not all-around better. It just doesn’t require soil disruptions on established plantations, use as much water, or require pesticides. Those are all great things but dumping neurotoxic chemicals that can effect reproductive systems into the environment and is occurring in areas where the people are already exploited for labour and incapable of fighting back isn’t something i love. If i was buying new fabric and didn’t have linen or recycled cotton as an option, I would personally opt for organic cotton. Tbh though I don’t really buy new fabric as there aren’t many ethical choices available in my price range. 2nd hand is always better in that regard



  • Honestly most fabrics shouldn’t be washed as regularly as mainstream western society insists. a lot of fabrics are warm to cool wash only, shouldn’t be tumble dried, and should be hung insideout or in the shade. Your clothes will last sooooo much longer if you take care of them

    Bamboo is marketed as this tough “green” fibre and if we ignore the processing it takes to turn such a woody fibre into a shoft fabric it can be long lasting with proper care. It doesn’t like hot washes or tumble drying. It breaks down the fibres and negates the durability that’s being marketed. Denim is something that should be rarely washed and preferably just cool soaked and swished and rinsed (like a rug or curtains) then dried on a line insideout to prevent fading.

    So I guess I would probably be one of the people this article is discussing but all’s I’m really doing is following proper fabric care practices
