Title: Anti-Planned Obsolescence Hoodies
Post by: Mike Christ on March 15, 2013, 09:42:24 PM
Not sure if anyone here has seen this (or wears hoodies religiously like me :P), but these guys have a kickstarter going on right now, where they're selling premium, durable hoodies that are meant to last a lifetime (and come with a 10-year warranty, at that.)

The 10-Year Hoodie (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jakehimself/the-10-year-hoodie-built-for-life-backed-for-a-dec)

I'm excited about this.  They've already hit over 1000% backing; people are really showing that they want quality goods, and are willing to spend the cash for them.  I've already backed them for one myself ;D  With any luck, this kind of thing will catch on.  Planned obsolescence is about as greedy as it gets.

I need something similar for socks.

My socks don't wear out - but I always lose one. I'd like socks that are quantum entangled, so I'll always be able to find a pair.

Probably then You will lose both socks simultaneously or they will change the lost/not lost state by simply observing them.

Maybe, but the probability of find a not pair is approximately zero. Either way, I won't have to deal with half-pair socks.
