That's hilarious oh my god

Some little kid who found a fiver on the street buying Lefty and is now that one kid with a giant fuck off animatronic following them everywhere. I bet their birthday parties are great lmao

But here's the thing... Wouldn't the puppet be trapped inside him? Like. Two for one deal or you potentially have a plot from Lefty and the Puppet's perspective where they're trying to find a way back to that pizza place and are convinced this is all part of some nefarious scheme... But the longer time goes on, they just start to feel worse for this random stranger that bought them. They could leave but that would hurt them and isn't that the very thing they're trying to prevent? But the Puppet is still possessed so is it a case of Lefty gradually not wanting to leave while the Puppet wills them to? Is it a case of choosing their new friend or eachother? This is provided Lefty is sentient which he might not be. Maybe the dilemma makes him sentient I dunno

And if you fucked with time periods a bit, what if Gregory bought Lefty? What then? Do you have Security Breach but with Lefty and Puppet as the guardian that followed him into this mess or do you have Lefty and the Puppet trying to make sure this lid doesn't die? Maybe they're all running around the city while Vanny hunts them down to kill Gregory? I dunno that fucks a lot with the timeline but it's a fun thought. Vanny setting the animatronics loose on the city to try and find this one fucking child is a hell of way to make Security Breach less contained lmao. If you change the context, maybe it's just Vanessa trying to hunt them down to take Lefty and Puppet back to Henry and it's being misunderstood as a kidnapping attempt who knows

I suppose the biggest problem would become maintenance. Like, how do you keep this thing maintained now? Do you just go back to the seller and ask for some help??? Would they even help given its not a real company anymore??? Who knows! Definitely a problem though!

He really do be available for just five bucks huh lmao

We all love how Lefty costs only 5 dollars in Pizzeria Simulator, lore wise likely so Henry made it certain that Michael would afford them and take them in.

But I think we all sleeping on the hilarious curveball that it also makes Lefty affordable to just about anyone else too. Just about any random person could buy Lefty if they felt like it if they came across the bear before Michael.

So imagine like... Michael finding Lefty sold-out because some kid saw them first and bought them with their lunch money or something like that

[birdenjoyer]

I think Detritus should have a cat shelter. I think he'd be good at it. Like yeah he's big and intimidating but so are humans from a cat's perspective. He's gentle and kind and while he isn't that smart, you don't need to be a genius for cats to like you. You just need to understand their body language, and with how far he's come I really don't think he couldn't learn. His skin is made of rocks, so he could definitely handle bites and scratches, made in play or in earnest. I think he'd play with them. Hell, cover the man in sisal rope and he's a scratching post. I think he'd wear soft gloves so he didn't hurt them. I think he'd handfeed orphaned kittens. I think the more playful cats would bat at his cooling helmet. I think on days when he was full up and someone really needed to be adopted, he'd Stand Ominously in public places until they went to a good home. I think it'd mean a lot to him, giving these cats a better life. He knows what a better life meant to him.

Best Beaches of Mexico To Visit in 2023

Are you looking for an unforgettable beach vacation in Mexico next year?

With its pristine white sand, crystal-clear water, and tropical climate, Mexico is home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches.

From secluded coves to bustling party spots, here are some of the best beaches in Mexico to visit in 2023.

Playa Sisal

Located on the Yucatan peninsula in the Gulf of Mexico, this breathtaking beach is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and other water sports.

As well, Playa Sisal has turquoise waters that are crystal clear and pristine white sand that stretches up to two kilometers along the shoreline. It has numerous reefs that offer excellent spots for scuba diving and fishing.

Basically, the ancient city of Tulum is located just north of Playa Sisal and offers a glimpse into Mayan culture and history through its amazing archaeological sites and structures.

Tips: The best part about Playa Sisal is its incredible seafood. From grilled shrimp to fresh ceviche, you can enjoy mouthwatering meals right by the beach!

Cancun

Cancun is not just any barrier island off the southeast coast of Mexico; it's an absolute paradise packed with rich history and jaw-dropping beauty.

From the moment you step onto its beaches, you'll be entranced by the breathtaking views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea and golden sands that stretch for miles. But there's more to Cancun than just its beaches.

We highly recommend the tranquil and less crowded Playa Chac Mool for families or couples seeking solitude. Meanwhile, Playa Delfines offers the best opportunity to spot playful dolphins in crystal-clear waters.

But that's not all - you can also explore the underwater museum at Isla Mujeres, where you'll be mesmerized by the unique and awe-inspiring sculptures.

Playa Carrizalillo (Puerto Escondido)

Of course, you might want to escape the crowds and find a secluded and serene place to relax. Playa Carrizalillo is the perfect spot for that. 

Tucked away in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, this crescent-shaped beach boasts turquoise waters and breathtaking views.

To reach Playa Carrizalillo, you must walk down and then back up around 155 stairs, but the journey is worth it. Once you arrive, you can relax on the soft sands and enjoy the beautiful views. 

Tips: Playa Carrizalillo isn't just a beach for regular beachgoers; it's also a popular place for beginners and intermediate surfers to go surfing. Surfboards can be rented from one of the many surf shacks on the beach for 150 MXN per hour. You can rent shortboards, longboards, and bodyboards when you arrive.

Playa del Carmen beaches

Playa del Carmen is a beach town that has gained popularity recently for its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and rich history.

As you walk along the palm-lined beaches, you can't help but feel the cool breeze coming from the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

The city was once a Mayan fishing village known as Xaman Ha, which means "waters of the North." It was a significant trading center and religious site for the ancient Mayan civilization. Today, you can explore the remnants of this ancient culture by visiting the Mayan ruins of Tulum or Chichen Itza.

Tips: The fastest way to travel from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen is via ferry, which will take 35 minutes to reach your destination.

Costa Maya

Costa Maya, located on Mexico's east coast, used to be undeveloped until a large pier was built, attracting a lot of beachgoers.

The region maintains a beautiful balance between traditional Mayan identity and modernity, making it a recommended beach for tourists.

Tourists can experience costumed Mayan entertainers, Mayan architecture, luxury shopping, beach clubs, and restaurants.

Divers should go to the underwater wonderland of Banco Chinchorro, and history buffs should check out Dzibanch, Kinich-Na, and Kohunlich, three underrated Mayan ruins in the area.

Punta Mita, Riviera Nayarit

Punta Mita is a luxurious paradise located in the Mexican Riviera Nayarit, just a short drive away from Sayulita

What sets Punta Mita apart from other beach destinations in Mexico is the abundance of five-star hotels, luxury vacation rentals, and world-class golf courses.

Whether you prefer modern, minimalist, tropical, or rustic lodging, Punta Mita offers upscale oceanfront views that take your breath away.

Punta Mita Ocean Sports allows you to go sport fishing, kayaking, whale watching, surfing, paddleboarding, sailing, diving, snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, and more.

Aside from the beach activities, Punta Mita has a bird sanctuary nearby. You can also explore recreational trails that abound in the landscape.

Playa Balandra (La Paz)

Playa Balandra is an stunning beach in Baja California Sur State, about one hour from La Paz, Mexico. Its crystal clear waters and brilliant white sandy beaches make it a popular spot for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking.

One of the most iconic features that make Playa Balandra unique is the "mushroom rock" on the beach's north side – it's a must-see!

Tips: due to its growing popularity on social media, it's essential to arrive early to secure a spot at the beach. Both the parking lots and the beach itself tend to fill up quickly,

Sayulita

This secluded beach is rarely crowded, so it's a great place to get away from the busyness of Playa Sayulita.

We all know it's also a great spot to catch the sunset, but be sure to have a secure way to get back to town after dark.

Sayulita is a sleepy beach village about 26 miles northwest of Puerto Vallarta, known for its world-class beaches and water activities.

Surfing is a popular activity among locals, with Playa Carricitos being the mecca for experienced surfers and surf schools available for beginners.

Tips: To get to Playa Sayulita, you can take a taxi, rent a car, or book a private transfer from the airport.

La Lancha

Visitors to Playa La Lancha are greeted with an idyllic paradise of white sands and clear waters. It's the ideal spot for an adventure-filled getaway, offering both surfboard rentals and lessons and incredible photography opportunities.

Basically, the waves here are perfect for surfing but can be too strong for swimming. There's even a tree that provides a shady spot for photos.

Those looking to explore further can take a hike down from the highway, but do so with caution - the beach is located near swamps which can be home to crocodiles during certain times of the year.

Tips : Getting there is easy; visitors can take a bus or Uber straight to the OXXO convenience store nearby, park in the lot across the highway, and make their way over on foot.

Wrap Up

Now that you are familiar with some of the best beaches Mexico offers, it's time to start planning your 2023 vacation! Taking a trip to a beach paradise can be just what you need for a mid-year reset.

Whether you want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life or spend some quality time with friends and family in a tropical paradise, these best Mexican beaches will make your journey memorable.

Modern and Traditional Rugs at Affordable Prices

Rugs are more than just floor coverings—they are an essential part of home décor that can elevate the aesthetics, add warmth, and define spaces. Whether you’re revamping your living room, bedroom, or even your outdoor area, choosing the right rug can make a world of difference.

In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of rugs, how to choose the perfect one, and tips to keep them in pristine condition. Plus, we’ll introduce you to Sydney Rugs Online, a reliable online store where you can find an extensive collection of stunning rugs!

✨ Why Rugs Are Essential for Home Décor

A well-placed rug does more than just enhance the look of a space—it contributes to the overall feel and function of a room. Here are some key reasons why rugs are a must-have in every home:

1️⃣ Enhances Aesthetic Appeal

Rugs serve as a focal point, adding color, pattern, and texture to any room. They help tie different elements together, making a space look complete and stylish.

2️⃣ Creates a Cozy Atmosphere

A soft, plush rug instantly makes a room feel warm and inviting. Whether it’s in the living room, bedroom, or a reading nook, rugs add an element of comfort underfoot.

3️⃣ Defines and Divides Spaces

In open-concept homes, rugs can help differentiate areas such as the dining and living spaces. They create visual boundaries without the need for walls or partitions.

4️⃣ Protects Flooring

Hardwood, tile, and laminate floors can suffer from scratches and wear over time. A rug acts as a protective layer, extending the lifespan of your flooring.

5️⃣ Improves Acoustics

Rugs help absorb sound, reducing echo and noise levels. This makes them a great addition to apartments, office spaces, and rooms with high ceilings.

🛋️ Choosing the Right Rug for Your Space

With so many options available, selecting the perfect rug can feel overwhelming. Here are some key factors to consider:

📏 Size Matters

Picking the right size is crucial to achieving a balanced look. Here are some general guidelines:

Living Room: The rug should be large enough to fit under the front legs of sofas and chairs.

Dining Room: Ensure the rug extends at least 24 inches beyond the edges of the dining table.

Bedroom: A large rug under the bed with extra space on the sides creates a luxurious feel.

🎨 Color & Pattern Selection

Neutral tones (beige, gray, white) blend well with any décor style.

Bold patterns add personality and serve as a statement piece.

Dark colors are great for high-traffic areas as they hide stains better.

🧵 Material Matters

Different materials offer varying levels of durability, comfort, and maintenance ease. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Wool: Soft, durable, and naturally stain-resistant. Perfect for high-traffic areas.

Cotton: Lightweight and easy to clean, ideal for casual spaces.

Jute & Sisal: Eco-friendly, textured, and suitable for rustic or boho-inspired spaces.

Synthetic fibers (Polypropylene, Polyester, Nylon): Budget-friendly and stain-resistant, great for households with kids and pets.

🔲 Shape Selection

Rectangle: The most common and versatile shape, suitable for most spaces.

Round: Works well in small areas, entryways, or under circular tables.

Runner: Ideal for hallways, kitchens, and narrow spaces.

🧼 Rug Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty

A well-maintained rug can last for years, looking as good as new. Follow these simple care tips to keep your rug in top condition:

✅ Vacuum Regularly

Dirt and dust particles can accumulate over time, damaging the fibers. Vacuum at least once a week to prevent buildup.

✅ Rotate Your Rug

Rotate your rug every few months to ensure even wear, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic.

✅ Use a Rug Pad

A rug pad helps prevent slipping, protects the floor, and extends the rug’s lifespan by reducing friction.

✅ Handle Spills Immediately

Blot (don’t rub) spills with a clean cloth and use mild detergent if needed. For stubborn stains, consider professional cleaning.

✅ Protect from Sunlight

Direct sunlight can cause fading over time. If possible, place rugs in areas with limited sun exposure or use curtains to filter the light.

The Iron Snail The Wild History of Hemp You Never Knew About The USS Constitution, AKA Old Ironsides, is one of the most famous ships in history. Aboard that ship was 120,000 pounds of non-psychoactive cannabis rope. When Betsy Ross first sewed the American flag, she held in her hands non-psychoactive cannabis canvas. The word “canvas” comes from the word “cannabis,” AKA hemp. Porsche, one of the best car makers in the world, made a car out of hemp. The CEO of Hemp Earth flies around in a plane made of hemp. Hemp has been called “The Miracle Fiber” – the plant that will save the world. But it won’t. The Porsche was only partially made out of hemp and couldn’t be in the rain, and the CEO of Hemp Earth hasn’t finished building the hemp plane in over eight years and can’t raise the funds to finish it. And now he’s talking about building a hemp spaceship. So why is Patagonia investing so heavily in hemp? Why is everyone screaming about hemp t-shirts? After doing some reading online, it turns out the topic of hemp is a very sticky, icky topic, and I just want to let you know that I’m trying to separate hemp from that other plant that is also hemp. I’m trying to look at hemp from an incredibly nerdy lens. Is it actually important to the world? Does it matter at all? And then that should be fine. The Iron Snail Fun fact: besides the shoes that I’m wearing, which are from the company that makes the very famous anti-poaching boots, Jim Green, and my Bradley Mountain backpack, I am covered in 100% hemp – all Patagonia hemp.   The Problem With How We Talk About Hemp The Iron Snail The first thing you need to know before we can actually even get into the discussion is that hemp is never put up against anything correctly. Everything is miscategorized with hemp. Hemp fiber and clothes should not be compared to cotton. Hemp-crete should not be compared to concrete – everything is messed up because that’s not essentially what hemp is. So, let’s talk about cotton, and then I’ll tell you why everything is messed up. Why Cotton Became King The Iron Snail There are many fascinating reasons why cotton is the most popular textile on Earth – everything is made out of cotton. The big thing is that cotton is the perfect blend of everything: it’s strong enough, it’s soft enough, it can be made into really tough workwear like duck canvas or jeans or twills and stuff like that, or it can be made into something very very delicate like cotton gauze. So it can basically do everything. The Iron Snail There’s also a ton of other reasons why cotton got so popular. It was the first fiber and then fabric to get industrialized. It was a huge export for the U.S. and Britain. There was nothing holding cotton back, and there wasn’t anything holding hemp back for a very long time. It was required in the U.S. that every farmer grow some hemp in certain areas, and then people were obviously like, “Maybe this plant does something else.” Understanding Hemp vs Cotton The Iron Snail But that’s not the whole story because hemp, I don’t really think, would have ever been in every single shirt that people are wearing and every single sock and every single pant. Cotton is made from seed hairs – that explains it. When hemp is a bast fiber, hemp is actually not really that closely related to cotton, but it’s related to things like jute, linen, nettle, sisal – all of those things that don’t sound that appetizing. To put it in a different way, hemp is more related to a burlap sack than cotton is related to hemp. Being a bast fiber, it has some incredible benefits, but it also has some major drawbacks. But you may be thinking, “Well, people wear linen a lot. Why don’t they wear hemp a lot?” It’s because of those incredible things that also give it a drawback. The Science Behind Hemp’s Strength The Iron Snail So, if you’re like me and you read all these things that say hemp is one of the strongest natural fibers in the world, you would probably think, “Well, what the heck is the strongest natural fiber in the world? I want that one!” You can’t have that one, neither can I, because it’s spider silk. So, no one really officially says that hemp is the second strongest, but I think that’s what it is. Hemp is also very closely related to jute, which you may be familiar with if your Birkenstocks ever came apart – there is a jute layer underneath the sole. And jute is a very, very strong material, not as strong as hemp, but it’s not something that you look at and think, “I want to wear that.” And that’s because jute is very rough and coarse. But what makes hemp and jute so strong is that since they are bast fibers, they come from the stock of the plant as opposed to the seed, and the seed only has little wispy hairs on top that don’t ever get too long. So they can’t be as strong because, as we know, the longer the fiber, the stronger it is. And with that, a lot of the time comes an added thickness, which is where you lose some comfort. The Comfort Factor: Breaking Down the Science The Iron Snail Just some guidelines to set: typically, clothing fabrics and fibers start to get irritating when they are over 20 microns thick. Some people say 24 microns, and some people say 30 microns. But 20 is kind of that area where, all of a sudden, your wool sweater is a little itchy, and it’s poking into you. Cotton typically ranges from 9 to 22 microns, linen is typically 10 to 25 microns, wool goes from 10 to 35 microns, and then you have hemp. Wool is considered the classic itchy material at 10 to 35 microns. Hemp is 10 to 50 microns, so it trends higher on average. The Iron Snail Is it just super unbearable to wear? No. Is it really even super uncomfortable? No. Do you get used to it like two seconds after you put it on? Yes. But the first time you put it on, you may be thinking, “This is not as comfortable as that other shirt I wore somewhere else, so I’ll get that other shirt.” The Real Secret: Why Patagonia Loves Hemp So then, why is Patagonia investing so heavily in making hemp t-shirts and other hemp clothing? The secret is in this Idaho potato. I am not wearing 100% hemp today. Actually, my jeans are an incredibly weird blend. I don’t even know why Patagonia used this blend, but we shall break this down into three pieces: Number one: okay, hemp is not comfortable, but it’s amazing for all of these other reasons – why isn’t it used more? Number two: why is Patagonia investing so heavily in it? Don’t forget, organic cotton wasn’t a thing until Patagonia made it a thing, invested a ton of money in it, made the infrastructure for it, and then it blew up. So, is hemp the same thing? Number three: there is a solution that can change the world in a big way, but it’s not the solution that most people propose, at least I think. The Hemp Divide: Why It’s Not Taking Over (Yet) The Iron Snail Number one: why is hemp not taking over the world? The answer is because it’s hemp. It’s an incredibly divisive plant – people either love it or they hate it. So what happens is people that love it say it’s the next miracle thing, it destroys cotton, it’s better than all this, it can power our cars, we can make planes out of it. And then the other side says, “No, you just want hemp for a different reason.” So then it kind of goes kaput, and since it’s so divisive, you basically can’t get in the middle. Hemp has to destroy everything for some people to be right, and it has to be useless for other people to be right. So, both angles push it towards the extreme when, in reality, hemp is kind of right in the middle. Cotton is cheaper and softer, and people like to wear it more. Then you have jute that handles kind of the industrial rope end of things, just not quite as strong. Hemp plastic is not as structurally sound as regular plastic, hemp-crete is not as strong as concrete – there’s a whole mess. When in reality, hemp is great and amazing and the best of the best for some things, but not everything. The Future of Hemp: It’s All About Blends The Iron Snail So why is Patagonia using hemp at all? What is it good for? Blends, baby, blends! Hemp is good for everything, but not if you take everything else away. But if you add in hemp and you mix it into the pot, everything changes. If you have hemp in a shirt, the shirt is more durable and abrasion-resistant. If you add hemp to plastic so that it’s 25% hemp plastic, you reduce plastic usage by 25%. Then, if you look at base layers, for example, merino was great because it keeps your temperature regulated really well, but you need to add nylon or polyester so it doesn’t rip and get destroyed – it stays better for a longer amount of time. You can replace those synthetic fibers with hemp. You can also add hemp to socks, so your socks will last way, way longer. By using hemp in different ways, we can reduce a lot of things, all while growing things in a more sustainable way and all of that, and then hemp becomes very, very powerful. Patagonia’s Long Game The Iron Snail Sorry, I forgot the most important part of this article: Patagonia is in the stage where they’re just trying to build infrastructure and get farmers growing hemp in the U.S., getting machines to process this hemp. Also, when we first started processing cotton way, way, way back when, it wasn’t the same cotton that we know now – we didn’t have different staple lengths and genetically engineered cotton plants that were super long and soft and thin. So over time, what we should see is a refinement in hemp where it does get softer possibly, it does get cheaper, it’s way easier to process, and it’s used in a lot more things. So boom – it’s already way better. Patagonia is the beast that is going to make all the processing and growing and XYZ way, way easier, and it could theoretically become the fabric of the future. There are a lot of factors that go into play, but that is why Patagonia is investing so heavily in it. Obviously, they think there’s going to be a big return somehow, in some way. So that’s why. Watch This Review The Potato Philosophy: A Final Thought The Iron Snail In closing, hemp t-shirts are a lot like food, specifically the potato. Many people think a potato is the healthiest food in the world, and it just may be, but this weird thing happens if you eat only potatoes and nothing else, you die. So you need to eat other things that are also very good for you. I’m aware that a potato was the worst example that I could have picked because you can survive exclusively on potatoes if you also drink milk. Anywho, it’s time to cook this bad boy up for dinner.

The Iron Snail The Wild History of Hemp You Never Knew About The USS Constitution, AKA Old Ironsides, is one of the most famous ships in history. Aboard that ship was 120,000 pounds of non-psychoactive cannabis rope. When Betsy Ross first sewed the American flag, she held in her hands non-psychoactive cannabis canvas. The word “canvas” comes from the word “cannabis,” AKA hemp. Porsche, one of the best car makers in the world, made a car out of hemp. The CEO of Hemp Earth flies around in a plane made of hemp. Hemp has been called “The Miracle Fiber” – the plant that will save the world. But it won’t. The Porsche was only partially made out of hemp and couldn’t be in the rain, and the CEO of Hemp Earth hasn’t finished building the hemp plane in over eight years and can’t raise the funds to finish it. And now he’s talking about building a hemp spaceship. So why is Patagonia investing so heavily in hemp? Why is everyone screaming about hemp t-shirts? After doing some reading online, it turns out the topic of hemp is a very sticky, icky topic, and I just want to let you know that I’m trying to separate hemp from that other plant that is also hemp. I’m trying to look at hemp from an incredibly nerdy lens. Is it actually important to the world? Does it matter at all? And then that should be fine. The Iron Snail Fun fact: besides the shoes that I’m wearing, which are from the company that makes the very famous anti-poaching boots, Jim Green, and my Bradley Mountain backpack, I am covered in 100% hemp – all Patagonia hemp.   The Problem With How We Talk About Hemp The Iron Snail The first thing you need to know before we can actually even get into the discussion is that hemp is never put up against anything correctly. Everything is miscategorized with hemp. Hemp fiber and clothes should not be compared to cotton. Hemp-crete should not be compared to concrete – everything is messed up because that’s not essentially what hemp is. So, let’s talk about cotton, and then I’ll tell you why everything is messed up. Why Cotton Became King The Iron Snail There are many fascinating reasons why cotton is the most popular textile on Earth – everything is made out of cotton. The big thing is that cotton is the perfect blend of everything: it’s strong enough, it’s soft enough, it can be made into really tough workwear like duck canvas or jeans or twills and stuff like that, or it can be made into something very very delicate like cotton gauze. So it can basically do everything. The Iron Snail There’s also a ton of other reasons why cotton got so popular. It was the first fiber and then fabric to get industrialized. It was a huge export for the U.S. and Britain. There was nothing holding cotton back, and there wasn’t anything holding hemp back for a very long time. It was required in the U.S. that every farmer grow some hemp in certain areas, and then people were obviously like, “Maybe this plant does something else.” Understanding Hemp vs Cotton The Iron Snail But that’s not the whole story because hemp, I don’t really think, would have ever been in every single shirt that people are wearing and every single sock and every single pant. Cotton is made from seed hairs – that explains it. When hemp is a bast fiber, hemp is actually not really that closely related to cotton, but it’s related to things like jute, linen, nettle, sisal – all of those things that don’t sound that appetizing. To put it in a different way, hemp is more related to a burlap sack than cotton is related to hemp. Being a bast fiber, it has some incredible benefits, but it also has some major drawbacks. But you may be thinking, “Well, people wear linen a lot. Why don’t they wear hemp a lot?” It’s because of those incredible things that also give it a drawback. The Science Behind Hemp’s Strength The Iron Snail So, if you’re like me and you read all these things that say hemp is one of the strongest natural fibers in the world, you would probably think, “Well, what the heck is the strongest natural fiber in the world? I want that one!” You can’t have that one, neither can I, because it’s spider silk. So, no one really officially says that hemp is the second strongest, but I think that’s what it is. Hemp is also very closely related to jute, which you may be familiar with if your Birkenstocks ever came apart – there is a jute layer underneath the sole. And jute is a very, very strong material, not as strong as hemp, but it’s not something that you look at and think, “I want to wear that.” And that’s because jute is very rough and coarse. But what makes hemp and jute so strong is that since they are bast fibers, they come from the stock of the plant as opposed to the seed, and the seed only has little wispy hairs on top that don’t ever get too long. So they can’t be as strong because, as we know, the longer the fiber, the stronger it is. And with that, a lot of the time comes an added thickness, which is where you lose some comfort. The Comfort Factor: Breaking Down the Science The Iron Snail Just some guidelines to set: typically, clothing fabrics and fibers start to get irritating when they are over 20 microns thick. Some people say 24 microns, and some people say 30 microns. But 20 is kind of that area where, all of a sudden, your wool sweater is a little itchy, and it’s poking into you. Cotton typically ranges from 9 to 22 microns, linen is typically 10 to 25 microns, wool goes from 10 to 35 microns, and then you have hemp. Wool is considered the classic itchy material at 10 to 35 microns. Hemp is 10 to 50 microns, so it trends higher on average. The Iron Snail Is it just super unbearable to wear?
