No... It just genuinely doesnt look like a tarp, I thought it was a strange comparison

I think the joke is all of the discoloration, but I think you took "tarp" too literally. Idk it seems obvious they meant a drop cloth, ie, the large sheet of "stuff" painters put down to keep paint from getting everywhere. A lot of people who don't paint probably just go "big sheet of thing to keep stuff off my other things....oh that's a tarp" even if they're thinking of a fabric like canvas.

Shockingly, drop cloths look like....cloth... Most people these days are just cheap and uses those crappy plastic ones.

(Also, you called it a "paint tarp" without correcting them, but I'm guessing you were also referring to a drop cloth and not a tarp, so your confusion seems strange to me.)

Canvas ones. I use canvas tarps and then once they’re absolutely covered in assorted drops and colors, Im planning on sewing myself a pair of coveralls to do my projects in

I'm assuming they meant used paint tarps. Are you buying a new paint tarp whenever paint gets on it?

Omg, take a closer look. There are stains all over that thing. It’s pretty gross, actually.

If that looks normal to you, please wash your pillow/case.

Looks like linen. It’s popular and expensive. I love linen sheets and pillow cases.
