What's a dryer sheet, I'm nearly 40 and I've never heard of that
It's a sheet of chemicals that makes your clothes smell better.
Downside is it adds a sort of...coating to clothing which for some types of clothing, like wicking sports apparel, makes them less effective.
They're absolutely useless and when I learned that I stopped using them and there was literally no negative change in my post-laundry output.
That makes me think of crockpot liners, which are apperently a thing
Like, you cook your food, in the plastic. The most pointless thing I've seen.
I suppose it's for people who feel like they are not ingesting enough microplastics.
Gotta get your 5 grams worth!
Savings up for a credit card
Mmmm that plastic bag taste. Just like mom used to make. Until she died of microplastic poisoning.
We aren't there yet but soon. GenX I bet you'll see the first person die directly as a result of micro plastics. Boomers, I think cancer has got them for the most part and I'm confident we will solve that riddle in the next few decades
Slightly related, why does clingfilm smell so strong? I never used it because the taste always went onto whatever I wrapped in it.
Sous vide style slow cooking, vacuumized in a bag, had it's merits as you can't really do it any other way. This, however is a lazy way to avoid cleaning (like using plastic plates to avoid doing the dishes).
If your laundry tends to suffer from a lot of static when you remove it, it can help with that.
no negative change in my post-laundry output
What a beautiful phrase, I'm totally gonna nick the term post-laundry output
If I don't use a dryer sheet in the winter, my clothes literally stick to me and it is uncomfortable. The static is crazy. In summer its not an issue.
