Still love this baby though
Man, this shit’s kinda wild to me. A hundred years ago, laundry was a whole day, heavy labor affair, at least once a week. Hauling water, mixing and soaking and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing dumping water, hanging and wringing and drying
Now we have machines ad utilities that do 98% of the job, and it still feels like all I fucking do
Hang on, got another load
I mean, for what it’s worth, I find just quickly chucking your shirt under a running tap (or I guess, a river/lake) and then hanging it up to dry, that can get you 90% there with barely any effort.
Obviously, 100 years ago, many people were working on fields or in mines, where you’d get much dirtier and the scrubbing was genuinely necessary after a few days, but yeah, I feel like we’re mostly overdoing it, just because we’ve got a machine to do it.
I feel like dishes are even worse. I don’t have a dishwasher so I have to do everything by hand. It always seems like I just finished and a new pile magically appears.
Mazel tov!
Thank you, friend!
Still beats the alternative though - the smell from not doing it!? 😜
Honestly, I don’t get what’s the big deal. You put clothes into the washing machine - 3 mins; you wait 2-3 hrs while it does all the work; you hang the laundry on a dryer - 10-15 mins.
OMG, so that’s a baby Falkor on my detergent bag! Ha!
