You’re missing that the hypothetical clothes wearer has already bought 24 items from each of the previous several years and only regularly wears a small percentage of all those pieces.
Also, it’s the average number of wears for a garment, rather than the average number of times a person wears a garment. Plenty of garments are never worn, while most people will wear each garment at least once.
I have seen figures as low as 1 wear. Loads of fast fashion clothing is bought and quickly returned (wrong size, changed their mind, etc), and these often cannot (by policy) be sold again so go to the landfill.

I keep hearing this narrative, and feel uneasy about the rhetorical impact. I want all glory for the martyrs who went up against one of the world’s most highly regarded armies (not that they deserve the reputation) and beat them for a day. Saying “we let you win” feels like taking something away from them. At the same time, it would be pretty fucking gross if isntreal did this, and might help a few more people understand that the genocide was happening before Oct 7.

I just highlighted the text in the image on my phone and ‘Translate Text’ came up. I don’t think I have a plugin installed.
Firefox translated it as “Media Al-harbi Yemeni” so I think it’s just the media outlet stylized similar to the banner.
Just looked at the history of Diego Garcia… why am I surprised?
Also Zulfiqar was a specific famous sword that had two blades or two points. from my knowledge it’s unclear whether the blade bifurcates side by side or front to back, there are interpretations from many periods with either.

There’s no way that few balloons could do anything meaningful. I’ve designed a moored balloon system for a lighting truss and we could barely get it to work. A balloon that could lift that destroyer would cover the bounds of this photo.

No you’re right. I suspect that if these figures are both true, the average number of times a garment is worn and the average number of garments a person buys are not really comparable due to their methodology. Also, is 24 the gross number of garments purchased, or the net? if people buy much more than 24 and then return them (and they’re not resold), the 7 wears figure becomes more believable.
