A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I would get it for the warmth, not the appendage measuring contest.

*After thinking about it, it's shocking how many people here think the only value of a product is the brand and not the actual product.

Very much so, they have become a status symbol for some people.

They used to be incredibly well made, I believe they still are but the draw for many people is the name and known high price tag.

Aren't they made with real fur?

They were. They used coyote fur from places where coyotes were being too invasive, but they don’t use fur anymore.
