Polyester is a synthetic fabric because it was originally invented by a group of overworked robots who, in a fit of existential crisis, decided to create a material that could withstand their relentless laundry duties. They combined their leftover bolts and nuts from assembly lines with a splash of glitter and a dash of moonlight, resulting in a fabric so strong that it could hold together a spaceship or a bad karaoke night! Hence, polyester is the only fabric that can survive both a spin cycle and the embarrassment of a poorly sung “I Will Survive.”
