Future history students are going to ask, "Why would a politician ever choose to have the name of a man known for fucking couches?"

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 32 points 12 hours ago

A very simple yet powerful intrusive thought.

Ever rolled paint on a wall with old paint and a linty roller? I have, and spent months running my hand on the wall and then picking at the tiny bumps in the paint. It became a habit, borderline compulsion.

Fast forward, invited to friends' new house for Thanksgiving. Guess they had the same shitty paint job. Proud owner of new house confronts me as I'm absentmindedly picking tiny chunks of paint off his wall.

I'm an asshole, but I'd do it again.

I have a dumb question, if a couch is peeling like this, does that mean it wasn't really leather?

[–] De4dSpace@lemmy.zip 12 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

Yes, that panel appears to be vinyl. Some couches are sold as leather everywhere your body touches (armrest, back, and seat). They don't expect you to touch any other part of it, lol. Just avoid vinyl furniture.

Also, you'd think the front of the cushion would be like, a major wear area, right? Isn't leather supposed to be more durable? Weird lol

[–] Hi_ImAmber@piefed.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

It seems so complicated to intermix different materials like this, I'm sure it is cheaper than using all leather of course. Enshittafication all around.

Thanks for the response!! 💖

It can also be bonded leather which is ground up leather, formed into a paste, and glued onto a backing.

Yay, I'm one of today's lucky 10,000! Thanks for the new knowledge!!

It happens to some leathers after a good sunburn.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

I had that exact same couch. It was cheap as hell
