the down in this jacket is sustainably and ethically sourced: the geese are shaken vigorously to dislodge loose feathers on a daily basis.

The goose of course hate this, but being canada geese they deserve the punishment and when they're released as adults they're too dizzy to ever pose a threat to anyone.

Not enough geese were harmed in the making of this jacket

They are objectively better insulation than polyfill lmao. Anyone that’s ever worn real down in actual conditions that require it would agree.

You had an argument in the ethical right and then threw it all away with ridiculous hyperbole.

How did they throw away the ethical argument

I got a Canada goose jacket for free and it’s really fucking warm. Definitely the nicest jacket I’ve ever owned. Prob not worth the 1500 bucks or however much they’re charging for it though.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

for that price alone, terrorizing Canadian geese seems rather worthwhile.

Outdoor Survival Canada is the quality without the luxury price tag.

Down performs better than most alternatives, is biodegradable and last decades when properly cared for.

The alternatives that out perform down, usually only in some situations, aren’t biodegradable and are made from oil.

and polyfill is a material from hell, Might as well stuff your pillows with fucking beard hairs.

I went swimming with one on before. Straight to the bottom. How do they float with this crap?

[-] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

It is called 'down'

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Down is fucking fantastic performance wise. When you say that crap people will look at you funny.

Polyfil. Relax, silly goose

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Down jackets and sleeping bags are unbeatable if you need something warm and packable.

I love how this meme has came a full circle.

The OG

Slovak translation

Back to English

And now this, which just cuts off both watermarks.

There's also a parallel Ukrainian translation that became very popular among Russians. There's a certain vibe to it, something about a foreign, yet, very similar and understandable language. Translated back to English it would've sounded something like "Oi! Watchu stuffed ur jacket wiz, mate? - WAT DAT JACKET IZ STUFFED WIZ, HÖNK?". Someone should make it, so that this meme would come full circle twice.

Also, obligatory XKCD

[-] monk@lemmy.unboiled.info 5 points 1 month ago

Did it just come full circle by reinventing back the original?

look it's not my fault that polyfill is a fucking disaster and that they happen to make the worst pillows on the planet.

Though there are other nice, non animal products that are also pretty good comparatively.

It's fleece! I personally butchered a sheep to make it, (as opposed to shearing it) but you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eee..ars. Sheep ears.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Duck feathers I swear

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I don't know about now, but a couple years back you'd see lineups out the door at that place, I always wondered where people get the money
