@DonberKon@mydrivec Exactly. It also contributes towards microplastic pollution when washed. With a scarf, not that big of a deal, as I doubt I’ll wash it often enough to really matter, but still.
@Jamileigh17 And when your skin gets warm, it itches and rubs like crazy - many of us are allergic to acrylic for just this reason. These are just, yuck.
Are the animals whose acrylic is shaved from them treated well? Are they free range? Are they fed organic diets? Will my scarf be rife with antibiotics and hormones? I will not wear an acrylic that isn’t 100% free of chemicals, medications, growth hormones, etc. And what of the animal when it’s acrylic’s shaved? Is it cold until the acrylic grows back? I hope you have answers, Meh! And, they better be good answers. I will have nothing to do with acrylic that was shorn from poorly treated animals. Why, it brings tears to my eyes just to think of the awful possibilities. I must go now. I must clear my head of the horrors. I simply am at my wits’ end. You’ve not heard the end of this. Not at all.
@jewelshound your concerns are valid and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I still remember when America was home to vast herds of Nauga before they were hunted to extinction for their hides.
@bbf@jewelshound ugh. That is disgusting. I’m all for reduce/reuse/recycle. Even though recycling is corrupted. But I draw the line at making things out of vegans. Even if that’s all they are good for.
@bbf@unksol I thought vegans wanted to be recycled. Perhaps I am the hapless victim of fake news, or fake facts, or, well, I don’t know. I’m going back under my rock.
@Office_Zombie Tell your “friend” that if you hit your victim hard enough before strangling them with this name brand scarf it would obviate the need for strangulation. I, of course, had to ask a friend about this.
It just cold enough to justify opening the scarf wow, am I impressed. It’s huge!. I like it very much. I want to thank everyone at meh. I’ve always wanted a scarf like this but didn’t know they were made. I also could not or would not pay the asking price so I thank you all at meh again for making it affordable.
I might just make this into a few “cloth face coverings”… How well does it filter coronavirus?
If not very well, I guess I can stuff a sheet of shop towel somewhere inside to act as a filter.
@bbf lmao all masks do is keep you from breathing/spitting it on people. It’s not too protect you it’s too stop you from spreading it while you are asymptomatic. Different things you are blocking
Anybody from the staff able to reassure us that these are in fact in existence? And can you update the ETA since mine doesn’t even say it is done processing yet…
Just found there is a different/duplicate thread for this here
@chienfou Well, They shipped on Monday 5/11, the day after Mother’s Day. Thankfully I had a backup plan for the mother of my children…
OTOH, her b-day is next Sunday, so I guess they will arrive in time for that, hopefully.
/giphy oh well
Also ordered on the 22nd and said it was shipped on the 25th but it never showed it is being shipped contacted them yesterday today is 8 May they replied back today and said they give me the damn refund yes it was for Mother’s Day very pathetic and sorry we never got shipped USPS never got the item , I don’t like this worth a crap crayons or nuts if you pay for it when you say shit to get it to the Dam shipper
@chienfou
whoohoo they were in my mailbox when I got home at midnight. Still haven’t opened the package yet to check them out… since they were supposed to be mother’s day no, wait… birthday presents. Guess I have till our anniversary in Sept…
Mine were stuck in processing limbo. Allegedly, they were “lost in transit”. One of the colors had to be swapped out due to availability. Ultimately they arrived around May 20th. The site hasn’t updated to “Delivered” yet, but that’s not a huge concern.
What’s of concern is that everything else that I have ordered has only been listed as “processing”. Should I worry?
In case anyone’s wondering, they’re 100% acrylic (I had to dig around on the product pages for them on Amazon to find out)
@Jamileigh17 Acrylic is warm like wool though yes?
@Jamileigh17 @mydrivec not as warm, not as breathable, gets smelly faster
@DonberKon @mydrivec Exactly. It also contributes towards microplastic pollution when washed. With a scarf, not that big of a deal, as I doubt I’ll wash it often enough to really matter, but still.
@Jamileigh17 And when your skin gets warm, it itches and rubs like crazy - many of us are allergic to acrylic for just this reason. These are just, yuck.
@cbl_wv @Jamileigh17 that’s not an allergic reaction. Or how that even works. Fine you have sensitive skin.
Are the animals whose acrylic is shaved from them treated well? Are they free range? Are they fed organic diets? Will my scarf be rife with antibiotics and hormones? I will not wear an acrylic that isn’t 100% free of chemicals, medications, growth hormones, etc. And what of the animal when it’s acrylic’s shaved? Is it cold until the acrylic grows back?

@jewelshound - Haha, I cracked a smile.
@jewelshound I think these scarves are Vegan.
@jewelshound your concerns are valid and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I still remember when America was home to vast herds of Nauga before they were hunted to extinction for their hides.
@jewelshound Umm… acrylic is plucked from free-range pink flamingo lawn decorations. Do they not have schools where you’re from?
@jewelshound @st_ellis Naugas and Formaldes as far as the eye could see… until humans came along and ruined everything.
@jewelshound @st_ellis
@bbf @jewelshound ugh. That is disgusting. I’m all for reduce/reuse/recycle. Even though recycling is corrupted. But I draw the line at making things out of vegans. Even if that’s all they are good for.
@bbf @unksol I thought vegans wanted to be recycled. Perhaps I am the hapless victim of fake news, or fake facts, or, well, I don’t know. I’m going back under my rock.
How many face masks can you make from one of these? Also, what is its TPE (Toilet Paper Equivalency)?
@ThunderChicken TPE should be a standard unit of measure for Meh Products.
@ThunderChicken if you grab each end you can use it like (butt) floss…
Now I feel foolish for spending $7/each during the meh-rithon…
@syms seriously
@syms same here
Could you strangle someone to death with one of these? Or are they too stretchy?
Asking for a friend.
@Office_Zombie Tell your “friend” that if you hit your victim hard enough before strangling them with this name brand scarf it would obviate the need for strangulation. I, of course, had to ask a friend about this.
@jewelshound @Office_Zombie I think “friend of a friend” 8s the correct term instead of “victim”
I clicked meh because my wife said meh.
@cfg83 Smart. “Yes mam” is usually the right answer.
@cfg83 @hchavers only if it’s your wife and you just say yes. Women get really upset when you call them ma’am
I wasn’t going to do it, but then I realized these will make great gifts. In for four.
/giphy faded-ancient-death
@Bandrik - okay that is one fucking awesome gif. I’ll stick with this one.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@Bandrik Great gifts make for great GIFs.
@ThunderChicken Hah! I like that.
Am I back in Sicily?
@tinamarie1974 Are you? Hard to tell from here…
@mehvid1 I wish! But if I was they would all have scarves on. God forbid their neck get cold, they may catch something.
Wait, maybe they are on to something. I saw so many ppl @ the store today w scarves to avoid catching something, including me. Hhuumm…
I am outraged they don’t have my tartan pattern here.
/giphy outraged
I passed when these were $17 back on Christmas but $6 with free shipping is the right price to try one. Got the canonical beige plaid.
“In the mood for a scarf or a cute allover?” MWMN rocks the cute allover, while Django prefers the scarfy look.
@ThunderChicken MWMN? Man with meh name?
@st_ellis Actually just a typo, but I like your version.
“Gender: Unixsex (most of them)”
Hmm…
As a computer nerd back in the '80s before being a nerd was cool, “Unixsex” was the only kind of sex I could get.

@malaclypsedj @pmarin you didn’t get the 7.01.1231 patch?
MEH must have raided the closet of Dr. Deborah Birx for these things!
@CHURCHILL1 pandemic doctor fashion joke… who would have guessed that would be a thing in 2020!
/giphy halting-assuming-spring
@chienfou WTF?
Fancy!
I need 10 of them
for all those hundred degree days
Length?
@stormshadow999 TWSS?
@pmarin Exactly! Sometimes you want to know what you’re getting yourself into before you invest any $.
/giphy girth
@haydesigner … Well, I learned a few “things” today…
@dragoncmndr @haydesigner I dunno I would trust this vid. One of them said tapir but it’s the same width the whole way.
@stormshadow999 sizing has been added to the specs at the top of the page.
I hate acrylic! It is hot and scratchy and doesn’t breathe. It makes you smelly in no time. I stay away from all things acrylic.
@ripper69 That must be why THE SPECS DON’T MENTION IT. (WTH, MEH?!)
meh heh heh
@DoctorOW a great display of Who the fuck knows!?
It just cold enough to justify opening the scarf wow, am I impressed. It’s huge!. I like it very much. I want to thank everyone at meh. I’ve always wanted a scarf like this but didn’t know they were made. I also could not or would not pay the asking price so I thank you all at meh again for making it affordable.
Scarf? Really?
I might just make this into a few “cloth face coverings”… How well does it filter coronavirus?
If not very well, I guess I can stuff a sheet of shop towel somewhere inside to act as a filter.
@bbf I’d guess about as well as putting your hands over your ears and screaming “Ain’t no coronas gonna get me!”
@bbf lmao all masks do is keep you from breathing/spitting it on people. It’s not too protect you it’s too stop you from spreading it while you are asymptomatic. Different things you are blocking
@bbf keeps yer spitz to yerself but others’ germs can pile right on!
/giphy welcome-in
4/22 order arrived today 5/5. In the decontamination chamber now. Muah ha ha!
Glad it finally got there. Fuuuck that took a long time! I hope it’s the right color!
@ThunderChicken I’m afraid to open it to check!

I guess if you ran out of toilet paper…
The blanket scarf that refuses to go away. No worries - if you lose it, it will come right back here on Meh a week or two later!
At least they are not over-valued pearl jewelry. And they will arrive before Mother’s Day. Too bad you cannot purchase more than 4.
@rtjhnstn Maybe not by Mothers day.
/giphy awry-wayward-fly
Still processing… but the headphone order from a week later is already shipped?
Where they be?
Anybody from the staff able to reassure us that these are in fact in existence? And can you update the ETA since mine doesn’t even say it is done processing yet…
Just found there is a different/duplicate thread for this here
I received my order on Friday. It was from the 4/22 offering.
I received a shipped notification. So, maybe they be on their way soon. Did I use the correct there?.
@Odorous
know, ewe didnt’
/giphy still waiting

@chienfou nope… didn’t happen… anniversary gift for Sept I guess!
@chienfou
Well, I just gave these to SWMBO and she LOVES them. Glad I remembered I had them!!
Happy 43rd sweetie!

Received mine yesterday. Very nice. Thank you Meh.
Mine have been in limbo for several days. Starting to think they are lying to me… But maybe I’m just paranoid

@krock1 shipping has slowed due to Covid. I wouldn’t worry too much.
