Yes, but I’m talking about mass adoption. Very few users care, they want to scroll through and see stuff they like. They don’t want to curate and host and delve into the intricacies. Until such time as someone makes lemmy palatable, the masses won’t eat it.
Sailing. Boating. Sewing. Those are they tops ones I miss from reddit that had active users. Instead we have 7000 communities for linux and pervy anime.
Lemmy won’t catch on until there are groups of communities you can ban at once. Sports, Linux, German, pervy anime… It’s a very rare user who will put up with the absolute dreck of the initial feed and manually block communities until they have a feed that’s marginally personalized.
Then there’s the fact that any communities that are specific to peoples interests are completely empty.
Thats wasn’t the Park Mall was it? The town I grew up in had the same pool that had to get shut down and emptied because the mob had built it shodily.
Chocks are cheaper than any incident that could occur without them.
White vinegar.
My daughter’s 8th grade French teacher was the writer of one. I felt brushed by fame.
It’s like if you shave a mustache. “Where’d your lip go?!” then 2 days later you look normal again.
Here are my two sons Aiden and Abettin.
There’s some nice people here and reasoned discussion, but there is a dog pile mentality sometimes that’s way worse than reddit ever was. And it was bad enough.

I was friends with a lady who worked at a dress shirt factory. She ran the bolt back and forth on a carriage over a long table and the stack was cut by another guy with that knife I showed earlier. I imagine it all depends what you’re making and what you’re making it out of whether you die cut or not. Fast fashion (which Levi’s aren’t) would not be die cut.
I make boat canvas and layout and cut by hot knife. The only efficiency I get is if something is symmetrical I cut both side at the same time.
A roll of fabric is 54" wide. It will get rolled out in layers as long as the table allows. Now we need a press that can press over the entire length of the table and the table that will support that and the aforementioned millwrights and machine shop. Or we need any table at all and a guy with a knife.
Not to say there aren’t things made with dies but Occam’s Razor and a career in textiles leads me to believe it’s not as common as you think.
The difference between blue jeans and cargo pants isn’t the cut. It’s the fabric and accessories.
This tells me you don’t know what you’re talking about.
I can see that, way more likely than cutting dies with a press. It would be a huge cost savings as there would be way less material waste and no user fuck-ups.
I expect there is much more hand cutting going on than you realize. To have multiple styles and different cuts would require giant warehouses of dies. Those aren’t cheap and wouldn’t last long in a production environment. Any change would require a new die. The machine shop would need to be as big as the cut sew shop.
One skilled (or trained) operator can change from pants to shirts on a whim. You’ll notice almost all clothing is made in far off places where labour is cheap. Not to say there isn’t die cut stuff, but overwhelmingly the textile industry is hand made.
These things are how multiple layers of fabric gets cut.
Mother? Yes. There was another one that came later.
Spot on! I take it your mother didn’t off that advice?
I’m that level of user that will block the ever loving shit out of everything but not do much to make it better. The problem is that once you’ve blocked everything you have pretty much zero interest in there isn’t much left on lemmy. Still better than reddit though.
