why does the german wikipedia page for Jeans have a "sexual aspects" section

Two Wikipedia subheaders

The first is "Wirtschaftlicher Aspekte," with the text "Das weltweite Marktvolumen für Jeans-Stoffe wurde für das Jahr 2022 auf 27,1 Milliarden US-Dollar geschätzt.[26]"

The second is "Sexuelle Aspekte," followed by a photo of many pairs of jeans being air-dried on a wooden fence, with the caption "Jeans beim Lufttrocknen," and a photo of a row of mannequins wearing jeans, pictured from the waist down, with the caption "Schaufensterpuppen in Jeans"

I think I found the actual study and their methodology is unsurprisingly dogshit. They don't mention until the very end that the poll was conducted via an online web panel. They hide the fact that they're inflating the numbers by not counting undecided voters. Also hoo boy this footnote

¹⁷ While both the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Palestinian conflict are important humanitarian issues, our issue salience polling suggests that the Democratic Party's positioning on these issues is unlikely to be a major cause of our party's electoral struggles (hence why Deciding to Win focuses on domestic political issues, which tend to be voters' top priorities).

I can only imagine it was this sort of situation

A Peanuts comic featuring a conversation between Lucy Van Pelt and 555 95472 ("5").

Lucy: 5? Your name is 5? What sort of a name is that?

5: My dad is disturbed by all of the numbers being put on us these days so he changed our names to numbers.

Lucy: This is his way of protesting, huh?

5: No, this is his way of giving in!

These panels haunt my dreams

A panel from One Piece. Franky is doing his trademark pose, without his trademark speedo, with some carefully positioned lens flare, as a wave breaks behind him. Text beside him reads "A man is naked his entire life. May he be like a lion and stand against the crashing waves!!" Something, hopefully his shirt, is making a "Flappa" sound effect.

Warlock, a screaming lad made of yellow and black circuitry, standing atop a collection of black spheres, with the accompanying text:

From the private journals of Charles Xavier

He calls himself WARLOCK

but whether that is his name or that of his race, I do not know.

He is extraterrestrial in origin, and a metamorph, able to reshape himself into any form imaginable. Of course, it is his imagination, which is to say the least far... different than ours--so the forms he takes, of even the most commonplace objects, can occasionally be quite bizarre.

Locke--as the New Mutants have christened him--is a techno-organic being. He appears to be composed of entirely electronic circuitry, yet that very circuitry is as alive as our own human flesh and blood.

He feeds by transforming organic matter into biocircuitry like himself, and then draining that object or being's energy, rendering it inert. This process makes Warlock extremely dangerous, for I have not found a means to reverse it. I am beginning to doubt there is one.

Worst of all, Warlock is fleeing from his father, who he maintains is trying to kill him--this having to do with the right of succession among his people. To survive and thereby prove his worth, Locke must slay his father--or be destroyed himself Should his father present himself, we will of course defend the lad--

--but how does one battle, much less defeat, a being capable of tearing stars apart with his bare hands?!!

A panel from Dorohedoro with two Nikaidos looking at each other. Kaiman is also looking at them but there's only one of him.

The Archie gang crouches behind a hill as a jesus figure wearing an open denim jacket with no shirt and short jorts points to Liberace playing piano in a field of flowers and proclaims

"Look at this field---

---Liberace in all his splendor is not as colorful as these flowers!"

I've got a different Franky panel for mine

Franky doing his "super" pose, without his iconic speedo, as a wave breaks behind him. His hog is tastefully obscured by lens flare. Text in the panel reads "A man is naked his entire life. May he be like a lion and stand against the crashing waves!!"

A core feature of tabletop games is that every time you roll it should feel like failing a color blindness test

Two dice on a desk. The first die is a green, white, red, and blue speckled d20 with light green numbers, and the second is a blue and white speckled d% with lime green numbers.

I don't know when I'll next reread the Neapolitan novels, but I do know that I'll read every word through the lens of this passage

"You're very smart," she said to me one evening. "but he has a way of speaking that I truly like: he puts the writing into his voice, but he doesn't speak like a printed book."
"I do?" I asked, as a joke.
"A little."
"Even now?"
"Yes."
