I think he's being very generous to the author by not laughing out loud at the suggestion that hang drying clothes is a measure of progress.
- hispanic 13y agoI think it'd represent a great deal of progress - in terms of our simplistic way of thinking that equates convenience and the harnessing of fossil fuels to human advancement. It requires a lot of destructive practices to manufacture, operate, and dispose of clothes dryers. That's more enlightened than using a 100% sustainable clothesline and a breeze?
- swombat 13y agoOne advantage of hang-drying is it's less destructive to fabrics... I wash at 30 degrees on a 1-hour cycle, and hang dry... my clothes seem to pretty much last forever. Except for trousers, which eventually get a hole in the crotch. Fucking trousers...
- joubert 13y agoExcept for trousers, which eventually get a hole in the crotch. Fucking trousers... A thousand thanks for posting this. I thought I had some physical deformity because my last two (very-often-worn) jeans wore through in the crotch in less than a year. (Of course that made other aspects of my life more convenient). Good to know I'm not the only one.
