I learned to sew using my grandmother's treadle sewing machine on the farm, so I got curious and went to see if anyone had one for sale. Oh yeah, tons!
And nearly all without the fucking treadle table/cabinet! What's the fucking point?? Is this all just being sold as decor? It's the same fucking thing as when I wanted to find letterpress type sets and found people sell them piecemeal so fuckers can make LIVE LAUGH LOVE shit or MaNCaVe shit
I hate it
Why break cool working machines to make it into garbage?? This is the same as when those FUCKJNG streamer trash boys embedded the Gameboys in resin. I hate it!!!
I know everything has a finite lifespan but to deliberately ruin stuff so it can evoke vibes is
It's so miserable
And it makes every remaining one more expensive
Effectively making myself upset today lmao
I used to think that as machines became obsolete they would obviously be sold cheap to people who could use them and in that way have an entry to trades or industries that were too expensive to buy into otherwise
I was so fucking naive
They just junk them and then vultures sell pieces of the carcass at a premium
