    You joke, but the modern world has actually really fucked textile hobbies. One example is yarn for crochet/knitting. The major producers all moved their production to new countries in the past decade and, along with it, switched to shorter staple fiber (i.e. the individual fibers they make up the yarn are shorter).

    Obviously, this makes goods made with these yarns worse, but there is also a growing, though rare, problem from people inhaling the fibers while knitting. It creates a lung disease similar to what someone who was exposed to asbestos experiences (though asbestos is much worse).

    There are still ways to get artisanal yarns, maybe without plastic being one of the primary ingredients, but those are generally very expensive.

    If you are willing to spin the yarn you could probably just get some wool from a farmer for very cheap/free. Its almost worthless.

    Yup. My local shooting range doesn’t need RAM. The archery target in my back yard doesn’t need RAM. The park where I go jogging doesn’t need RAM. My local food bank always needs volunteers, and they’re not handing out RAM to hungry people. My local theater always needs volunteer ushers, and you get to see a show for free.

    My garden is far too small to be able to do archery in it sadly. Plus with a path behind it could result in killing someone. Maybe at a push I could manage a dart board somewhere.
