This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The issue is that we’re trying to put everyone on a linear scale A pants has a length and a circumference. Both can be measured in cm. How about putting both numbers on the size label and drop the random numbers they use now? Same applies for other cloths, all of those have a few specific measuring points. Again perfectly measurable and expressable in cm.

Jeans are like that. Width and length. They still doesn't fit everyone easily.

Yeah, you've got those of us with a big ass, wide hips, and small waist, and people with the inverse.

Right, that even affects guys and I’m sure it’s much worse for women
