I was surprised to learn just now that Pit Viper isn’t actually owned by Luxottica.

However they have many models that made in China and Italy, which means they are manufactured by Luxottica. Apparently some of them are still made in the US, but I wasn’t able to find which ones.

Normally when a company is manufacturing something domestically they proudly announce it, because it’s a good selling point. But I didn’t see pit viper doing that in my brief searches, so it’s safe to assume they’re all made by Luxottica.

Which means these knockoffs probably came out of the same factory, if not the exact same product line.

Especially diamond bags!

That’s literally how I browse Lemmy. And how I always browsed reddit when I was there.

It’s so much more interesting when you don’t know what you’re about to get.

I was mocking the attitude that something can’t be discovered by one group of people if a different group of people already knew about it.

Columbus discovering the Americas is commonly called a “euro-centric definition of discovery”. While conveniently ignoring that literally nobody in Europe knew the Americas existed.

This is a very human centric definition of discovery.

Penguins has been living there for millenia beforehand.

She could just not post pictures of her face.
