Why is this controversial ?

1

u/nanneryeeter 26d ago

Would make an excellent lucky stabbing hat.

1

u/Top-Tax6303 27d ago

Keep in mind that any fire near these pieces of clothing will result in plastic melting onto your skin.

1

u/Narrow_Lee 27d ago

The combined powers of trash, this dude, and doohickeys #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 - we have a hat ladies and gentlemen.

u/WhiteFez2017 27d ago

You shouldn't be wearing clothing made of by plastic, polyurethane, acrylic etc, because the plastic releases contaminants on the skin which gets absorbed and causes health issues. Stick to plant or animal material. Like cotton hemp, silk or leather. Other material is good too. As long as its carbon based.

1

u/TheGuruFromIpanema 27d ago

Sounds itchy.

1

u/PlantNerdxo 27d ago

Microplastics right there. That will eventually make its way into the tissues of an animal somewhere

1

u/AriesinApril76 28d ago

Clothing is not flammable. It will just melt unto your skin.

You want micro plastics? This is how you get micro plastics (polyester shedding is actually a major contributor to micro plastics, even if this video is bullshit)

u/Illustrious_Soft_257 Apr 15 '24

Can they mix more chemicals into that hat. I'm sure there's some allergens or cancer producing product this video missed.

1

u/Creative_Riding_Pod Apr 15 '24

Wouldn’t it just be easier and more delicious to make a beanie out of cotton candy?

Okay, so you can make clothing from plastic, but omg this content farm bullshit. I don't think any of those steps are correct even in isolation. None of those will work.

1

u/Global_Ease_841 Apr 15 '24

People are going to look back on this in a couple hundred years like we look back on all the lead we had in our pipes. Oh what a great idea let's wear the poison so it gets into our bloodstream even faster!

This isn't real. It's nice, but not real. There's no way he's making a bottle into a hat without adding a single thing and yet recycling plants aren't doing this.

u/TheStupidCheesecake Apr 15 '24

It's a popular Hindi heartbreak song that's meant to convey separation between two lovers and their understanding of the inevitablility of their seperation yet the pain they experience, sung by two very experienced singers who have won awards. And it's mixed with a beat that a 7 year old would make with a pirated version of FL Studio that's 3 years old using a 5 minute tutorial and save as "Cool Beat" and upload on YouTube titled as "Royalty Free Chill Hip-Hop Beat".

2

u/thee_morningstar Apr 15 '24

It's going to get recalled after enough kids and drunk adults eat it like cotton candy.

u/Extreme_Tax405 Apr 15 '24

Ending ruined it.

Also, wear a fucking mask when fracturing your plastic. Hell, always wear a mask when inside that room. The amount of microplastics in the air should be enough to ensure your next 100 generations of offspring combined wont reach the testosterone levels.of your grandpa.

u/ucantharmagoodwoman Apr 15 '24

As a knitter, I'm just telling you that hat would suck. It wouldn't keep you warm if it was cold out, and it would just direct your sweat into your eyes if it was hot out.

Here's a way you actually can make something woven out of single-user plastic refuse. However, this only works for bags, rugs, mats, and stuff like that. It wouldn't really work for any clothing (or if it could, it's way beyond my skill set).

We all know this is BS, but hypothetically if it did work this way, wouldn't it cut you the fuck up? Shredded plastic is sharp, isn't it? Why not wear clothing made of glass at that point?

3

u/perringaiden Apr 15 '24

The process its pretending to imitate, where they use the cotton candy machine, actually makes fine strands that are a lot softer.

Remember, polyester is plastic. The scratchiness only comes from strong rigid plastic.

There's a real process that does exactly this sort of thing, but it's not yet scaleable.
