A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I've learned to just put the sheets in the dryer by themselves and use the sensor-dry setting (they get washed with everything else, though). They dry pretty fast just by themselves, so I don't think it's wasting much, if any, energy by splitting them out. Probably at least breaks even since I put the rest of the wash load on the drying rack while those are in.
Why does the largest fitted sheet not simply eat the other five?
no, it does
I feel like you might be the ruler of omicron persei 8...
I wash them separately, too, because the clothes will ball up inside and it feels like they aren't getting washed.
I just wash and dry similar things with themselves. 🤷♂️ Sheets and such by themselves, towels by themselves. Rarely have any issues. ✨
And, even after all that, when you go to put the sheet on the bed you still find a sock.
and inside that sock is a wadded paper towel, rock hard and flaking
Sorry mom, that paper towel was rock hard and flaking before the wash too.
I think your foot might be pregnant
You can search thoroughly in the fitted sheet shoved over your head to look closely and you'll still miss the damp sock somehow.
Just stop secreting oils and losing cells from your skin so you can sleep on a bare mattress. 🤷🏻♂️
I use a laundry bag for any sheets to avoid this
Good LPT
What happens when the sheet eats that?
Thats why I stopped using dryers and just hang stuff out to dry. Also saves a lot of energy.
Look at Mx. Privilege over here talking about wide open living spaces.
When I lived in a 42 sqm apartment I just put them in the middle of the one room I had. It did require walking around them all of the time, and an apartment that small became quite humid when hang-drying inside, but I managed to pull it off.
It's nice to have a house, eh. Or a balcony. Or both. Or a nearby meadow. Or some electrical wiring attached between apartment buildings.
I dry stuff inside on a rack like this. I've got a yard, but that yard is full of birds who like to sit and shit on my clean clothes.
Sheets and towels go in the dryer though.
Fingers crossed that’s just a stock image because that wardrobe is very depressingly beige.
Often people wash clothes that are similar colour
Well yardeedard.
But that's good though. Good for the environment and stuff. ✊
I was in a band called Pathetically Sodden Washcloth. Mostly Trip hop, a bit of Crust punk.
I googled crust punk with a genuine thirst for knowledge, but didn't know enough about music to understand the answer lol. On a side note, back in the 80s one time I saw a Portland band called Butt Seepage.
I picture the sheet having the hangdog look of a dog that stole a steak off the cutting board.
I'll never understand why dryers can't simply reverse direction several times during the cycle to prevent this from happening all the time.
As an aside I successfully folded a fitted sheet recently, and obviously I'm a wizard now.
Fucking necromancers and their black magic.
I bought a cheap knock-off of a shark tank product, where you clip the four corners of the sheets together - and it’s worked a treat.
In retrospect, a large enough laundry bag as another comment mentioned would also work wonders!
There are zipper "fitted" sheets that avoid this problem
That's what garment bags are for, never have to worry about shit getting in your sheet of you jail it ahead of time.
