Those Sofas fuck back.
meanwhile there's a very disappointed dude at a furniture store like:
There isn't even that much leather in the picture. But a lot of skin.
To be fair leather is skin.
I think, that while it's still on the body, it's called skin. When You make a couch out of it it's leather. Where hide comes in, I have no idea. But in Poland we use the same word for skin, leather and vegetable peels.
When you skin an animal, you have two choices. Cure it, or tan it. If you just let the skin be, it will rot. You can cure it by coating it in oil, fat, or salt. That will turn into a cured hide which can then be used like other fabrics. Alternatively you can soak the skin in a solution of quicklime (ground limestone dissolved in water.) At that point you scrape the hair from the soaked skin. Then you soak it in a barrel of weak tannin, followed by strong tannin. That becomes leather. There's a few more details, but that's the gist.
Hide is just leather with the hair still on it I think (not sure).
Two entirely different processes. Hides are skins cured with oil, fat, or salt to prevent them from rotting. Leather is a skin that gets soaked in quicklime, scraped, soaked in weak tannin, and finally soaked in strong tannin to turn the skin into leather.
Thanks! I’m saving this for the imminent apocalypse so I can make my Mad Max armor!
You'll want to look up some tutorials. I oversimplified the process.
Do you recommend bone spikes for the shoulders or should I go for more of a BDSM ninja vibe?
But when does the piss come into play? I always heard that tanning leather involves piss.
In traditional tanning different chemicals are used to process leather. Brains, egg yolks, urine, they all work. The urine isn't a requirement, it's a possible chemical compound a tanner may choose to utilize.
No, the urine is a requirement. I can't get off otherwise.
You don't think brains are hot? Shallow.
While you can do it that way, I don't know the process. I know how to make tannin by soaking oak logs in water.
Bruh Polish wilding out here again. What is the word something like koža?
?
we dont have 'ž'
the word for skin/peel/leather is "skóra"

Much in the same way that a pickle (gherkin) is a cucumber. But they ain't equivalent
What do you think leather is?
There probably was at the beginning of the event but it gets stupidly hot in rooms with that many people, even with ac blasting.
This doesn't look like International Mr. Leather, which is the event I'm familiar with, but it gets hot as balls in the congress hotel for that time. People come in with a lot of stuff and then take it off as it gets hot, in both meanings of the word.
I was looking for something that said “dad likes leather”
They have "daddy likes leather." Is that okay?
I'm afraid I went and blue myself too early.
Something that says, "leather daddy"?

Where is this leather world, asking for myself, definitely not for a friend.
is this ai? or what's up with the hand of the guy on the right?
Been around before Ai. Reverse image search finds it in 2018 the first time.
He’s holding a cigarette. Pointer finger is obscured behind it and his ring finger.
It's too deepfried to tell, but there are a bunch of messed up areas.
That one with the hand looks normal, there is 5 fingers, it’s just pixelated

I think it's a normal hand. It just blends in with his shoulder.
Pixel rot.
