  • It has the number of steps it does so that the pressure from the button holding your pants closed is evenly distributed over the fabric (and thread), so that nothing tears or rips. When sewing through cloth more points of attachment is generally better. You might be able to staple a button on without damaging the fabric over time, but it’s probably a lot less comfortable to wear than one sewn on.

    Just attached a button to my pants yesterday, after the factory sewn button gave up.








  • It feels like Ren & Stimpy sometimes because one of the writers (Katie Rice) did work on the Ren & Stimpy reboot! So you’re spot on with picking up on that. IMO that adds to it rather than detracts because so much of R&S was making references to or riffing off the ‘golden age’ of cartoons that Looney Tunes was part of, but if that style of humor is boring to you then I could see it detracting from the movie. I wasn’t constantly cracking up or anything, but I was smiling and laughing more than I was bored. Which honestly feels like a huge hurdle for movies now, lol.



  • Hm, I guess this is esoteric in the sense that most people aren’t interested in it?

    Some clothes are made with what’s called ‘slub cotton’, which is cloth made from cotton thread that has irregular lumps jutting out of it. It gives the final woven fabric an interesting look, almost like static. If it’s done with bright or contrasting colors it can give a really interesting pop to the final item.
