There will be no pussy clothes in my closet, nor any bitch baby dishes in my cabinets. Clothes get machine washed and machine dried on "normal", and dishes get blasted with hot water and concentrated detergents in the dishwasher. If it can't survive that, then it can't exist in my house. No one is special. Everyone goes through the crucible.

This is a perfectly reasonable position. I just get annoyed when people knowingly buy the fancy stuff then complain
knives get hand washed because they are tools of my vengeance, and shoes get cleaned and polished by hand because they are what i step on the corpses of my enemies with, those are the sole exceptions.

Inside out and cold water will save you money and your clothes. Come on, people, those don’t even require effort.
*gets slammed in the face*
“Welcome to the Internet opinion gauntlet”.
Yup. T-shirts can last for decades if you treat them well.
What does inside out do?
Protects the outside of your clothes from all that scraping around. Also apparently gives more scraping around to the inside bits touching your smelly armpits.
It also preserves any graphics on your shirts for longer if they're inside out.
I mean, I didn’t say so explicitly, but you got it; you got the spirit. The parts you don’t want damaged aren’t being damaged.
turning them inside out requires TWO moments of effort per article, fuck that shit
40°C, no fabric softener, and minimal amount of detergent.
just flip it when you take it off, that way you don't have to do it all at once
So many cash strapped commenters showing how they throw their money away.
Use your clothes the right way, and you'll need to buy less AND reduce wastage against the environment.
I think my hand-wash-only, pure-wool sweater believes by now that the bottom of the wash bin is where it belongs.

This should be the top comment...
Best you'll get from me is setting the washer to delicate, and that's only if i have enough weirdly fragile clothes to wash to begin with.
Hang drying clothes is so much better in my opinion. You save electricity and save your clothes.
For a while I moved in with my friend and his mom while I was looking for an apartment.
There were two things in that house that drove me wild
- No drying rack for clothes anywhere
- You cannot use the option on the drier that actually leaves the clothes dry because it uses too much power
So basically for a while all my clothes smelled damp because the method to dry your clothes in that house was leave them in a bunch outside until they're dry.
Yeah, I could have done better and either bought a thing to dry my clothes on or improvise and put my clothes somewhere to dry, but I had an absolute hell job at the time and my ADHD ass could not get through the executive dysfunction.
this assumes i am mentally capable of hanging clothes up, which isn't true
it's clothes dryer or moldy clothes, you can guess which i'm going with.
Also here in sweden we have communal laundry rooms in apartment areas that you can book, so i don't care about the electricity usage, which is 99.9% renewable anyways :)
I think of this comic every time I do laundry
Ain't no shirt gonna tell me what to do!
AINT NO DAMN SHIRT TELLIN ME WHAT TO DO
This but the dishwasher
Wait, I resemble this!
