Ovens are a waste of money. You can just build a fire 
. Cook your meal and dry your clothes at the same time. Then again fire is a waste of materials, you could just eat everything raw and stop wearing clothes. Way cheaper!

All that is super expensive compared to starving to death, and that gets you to the end faster. Double efficiency.

Good point as usual. But what about not even being born in the first place.
Ah, a fellow fan of Schopenhauer I see.

Sounds like you don’t think much of your father, which he may well deserve, but in this case I would wonder if rather than her telling him about the wonders of the dryer, he actually experienced it. Because personally I think it’s a thing of wonder, even though I hang a lot of my work clothes to dry. But having our towels and sheets and jeans and workout clothes and underwear and sock all over the house, drying? Haha, no thanks! And there are just the two of us now - imagining it with four kids at home…hahaha, NO.

Even when I hang the clothes out to dry, I stick them in dryer on the cool cycle for a few minutes to “fluff” them up and make them soft.

And get the wrinkles out. In fact, more days than not, probably, I thrown whatever top I’m wearing into the dryer for a couple of minutes to dewrinkle or to get rid of weird spots from hangers. I do it with sweaters that have been stored all winter, too, to freshen them.

I have a dress shirt in the dryer as we speak lol. I prefer the iron, but when minutes count it comes in handy

I always struggle with this extreme feeling of guilt and gratitude around the holidays - odd combo, I know, but bear with me. At the end of the year I try and reflect on my life and realize there’s at least 100 or so people that have conspired to make my life fucking awesome, and that there’s no way I can ever actually repay any of them for doing so. Not that it stops me from trying, but it’s like I owe a mountain of debt to people that expect nothing from me in return.

What is this witchcraft? My main gripe against using the dryer is that things come out with the wrinkles from hell… Also I’m frightened of setting the house on fire lol
The dryer-iron method only works if you don’t save up 2 weeks’ worth of laundry just to do one GIANT-ass load. At least that’s what my experience says

Wrinkle release dog! Works great. I’ve never owned an iron in my life. I couldn’t imagine going without some of these things other countries apparently don’t use much of.

I’m supposed to be on a somewhat low- sodium diet… why are pickles so good…
I promised I’d only have a bite of the pickled cabbage, but before I knew it, the 1lb tub disappeared…
After that, I made a deal with myself- no pickled onions… guess what I just ate… 
I have not noticed a wrinkle release but this got me:
“Very dry”
“More dry”
“Normal dry”
“Damp dry”

I only put stuff in for a couple of minutes, generally a single garment, and I have pretty much the same settings as @wanna_be, though when I didn’t I still used the dryer for this.
Some things are benefited by 2-3 minutes in the dryer; others are made worse. It’s a terrible gamble.

I throw a damp (wet) washcloth in and give it like 5 min.
And a fabric softener if I’m feeling fancy. That’s like pretty much clean again.
