That is a very reasonable and well articulated point

I tried it, just in case anyone was curious

(I'm pretty sure they were giving a joke answer, i.e. that the person's ass will explode with shit... πŸ˜…)

For anyone curious about the ethical discussion folks are having

Crude lanolin constitutes about 5–25% of the weight of freshly shorn wool. The wool from one Merino sheep will produce about 250–300 ml of recoverable wool grease. Lanolin is extracted by washing the wool in hot water with a special wool scouring detergent to remove dirt, wool grease (crude lanolin), suint (sweat salts), and anything else stuck to the wool. The wool grease is continuously removed during this washing process by centrifuge separators, which concentrate it into a waxlike substance melting at approximately 38 Β°C (100 Β°F).

It seems like lanolin is typically extracted from the shorn wool, so I assume the comments about ethics are with respect to harvesting that wool in the first place, so if you're interested in learning more, that's where you'd want to research. I'm not intending to debate whether it is or isn't ethical (I know next to nothing about the wool industry), I just had no idea how lanolin might be obtained from a sheep, so I looked it up and figured I'd share since it's relevant to some of the conversation here

Sure... But consumable items typically wouldn't be described as "durrable". Like a well made cheeseburger isn't an investment in your ability to continue having a good cheeseburger on an ongoing basis. There is no durable lotion. It's nice if a little goes a long way, but it's still consumable. If you want a candle that lasts longer, the solution is just to buy more candle.

Like shoes being well made means you can buy nice shoes once and have shoes for longer, even if they do eventually wear out due to being an item that sees a ton of wear and tear.

That being said, I really don't mind the occasional post that isn't really a fit. This got a lot of people talking and engaged with this community as a social space and that's kinda the point of social media. But I don't think this post is quite the right fit for the comm (and that's okay :)

My regular carry right now when I step out of the house includes:

  • A leather wallet my grandpa gave me (the circle imprints are from the quarters I use to get a shipping cart at aldi)
  • A hankerchief I made with my freind when she taught me how to use a sewing machine for the first time
  • My trusty Casio a700
  • An old field notes notebook. We had a bunch left over from Geo-Caching when I was in scouts a kid
  • A muji gel pen (I adore these pens 10/10)

And my keys with

  • A keychain from when my friend took me to see a league of legends semifinals that was being played near us
  • Two mini library cards
  • And a medication container I keep melatonin and some ADHD meds in (Non-stimulant, not that I expect cops will care if I'm pulled over πŸ˜…)

This poem has a lot of emotional significance for me. I have a severe sleep disorder and as a result am not awake during the day. The things I miss the most are sunlight, and the small interactions with people in my area. The polite conversation at the cash register, giving folks compliments, people telling me about their tattoos, wishing people a good day.

When I can't see the sun, and I can't leave the house because nowhere is open its so easy to feel disconnected from humanity. Its incredibly isolating. On the rare occasions that I skip sleep for an important appointment, or my sleep schedule gets so late that it becomes early for a brief period and I get to do those things I miss, this poem captures the feeling that makes me happy to be alive.

For a short window of time, I'm really glad I exist.

 

And a replacement button with a similar color scheme :)

At some point I also wanna get some mini patches to go where there's currently the little embroidered polo player. The theme is lavender lemonade, so a little lavender and a little lemon would be cute :)

Its got a couple more scuffs since I took this picture but I really love this watch. It rarely ever leaves my wrist; I even leave it on when I sleep

It was about $25 when I got it and it's held up phenomenally well
