the analog lint-slayer (chomchom pet hair remover)

i refuse to buy those adhesive tape rollers that end up in a landfill after three swipes. the chomchom is a more honest machine—it uses a patented brush system and a simple rocking motion to trap hair in a chamber. it feels like a tool from a pre-digital age, something a soviet archivist would use to clean a velvet curtain. julian is fascinated by the ‘trap door’ mechanism, and tbh, seeing the sheer volume of fur it extracts from the sofa is both horrifying and deeply satisfying. no batteries, no waste, just physics.
