My brain can't make sense of the thumbnail.

Sorry, I haven't had somebody jump to the worst possible conclusion about what I meant for the sake of being argumentative and flexing their moral superiority in a public space since college, so I'm a little out of practice here.

Please stop telling me what I think after I corrected you. That's gaslighting. Additionally, as a nonbinary person, I also don't appreciate a stranger forcing their paradigm of gender roles onto me like that. Please check yourself.

That's what the "Fluff" cycle on the dryer is for.

My assumption was the joke was that OP's mom does their laundry for them as if is OP was a child, not that women are constrained to doing laundry. It's not like I didn't clock the joke. The kernel of truth was the idea that doing those 3 things might be a pain to do, and even my partner complained about having to be careful with certain clothing when I taught her how to do the laundry (which I still primarily do), but it's good for people to have these skills, regardless of gender. On the flip side, she stopped complaining when she realized how much longer her clothing lasts now.

Also, my parents divided chores up, and my mom was in charge of the laundry while my dad did the cooking growing up because they each preferred doing those chores. Had nothing to do with gender, but maybe that's why I didn't immediately consider the assumption that somebody's mother does their laundry as sexist. Sometimes, it's just like that.

On the topic of you making wild assumptions about another's thought process (unless you're a mind reader, and I missed that), I was carrying on to say with my comment that OP should do all that. Not their mother.

I actually have a pretty sensitive sense of smell.

The smell is caused by bacteria blooming. If you're using good detergent, it kills the bacteria. Likewise, soap is bipolar, so one end of the molecule grips the oils you excrete and grime you pick up, and the hydrophilic end gets it all yoinked off during the rinse.

1. OP can turn them inside out themselves when they take the shirts off and put them in the dirt clothes hamper.
2. You don't change the settings for every individual article of clothing. You turn the knob or press the button once. This is not hard.
3. Hanging stuff up is easier and faster than folding it. The actual drying part is slow though.

Pretty sure that's Kim Jong Un, and this is North Korea.

Honestly, even I was even my gym clothes on cold, and it works just fine. The hotter settings are more for stain removal.

Buddy...

1. Turn your shirt inside out before putting it in the machine.
2. Set the machine to cold water, delicate/gentle cycle.
3. The picture you posted is of a dry, hot desert, right? What do you think a machine called a dryer that uses heat will do? Hang them to dry on a cheap rack from Amazon or your shower curtain rod instead.

I have shirts that still look practically new after dozens and dozens of washes.

Not all famous people's friends are famous. 🤷🏼 They both used to be part of the cosplay community that would attend a lot of anime conventions, but somebody made a joke about doxxing myself, so I don't feel comfortable saying much else.

Wtf that's my partner's friend! I've seen people I know on Reddit a few times before, but I didn't expect it on a less populated place like Lemmy. It's a small world.

Not since the days of yore when there were DBZ websites with affiliate links. Lol

Same. Surprised at how much this resonated with other folks though. Seems to be a lot like Wish.

It's this exact mindset that caused them to go extinct. Lol

I loved the desirepaths subreddit. It's a shame it's, ya know, a subreddit.

Thank you.

What does PCB stand for?

I was gonna suggest /c/natureismetal, but then I realized it doesn't support art. 😭

I won't sit idly by while there is a PRETENDER TO THE THRONE.
