I don't get the wrinkles out
Step outside into the heat and your sweat will instantly steam them out. Thanks global warming!

I iron my tshirts and shorts otherwise they look crinkley
Is everyone walking around with crumpled clothes? Or am I missing some critical life hack?
Shake out, hang when wet, never iron again.
Take your clothes out of the washer immediately, untangle them if necessary, and put them in the dryer. Don’t just dump all the clothes from washer to dryer. Remove the clothes from the dryer as soon as it's done while they're still warm. Hang shirts on hangers and put away the pants. Lastly, only buy new shirts and pants that are iron-free.

On a tangent... Why are we still wearing ties? Buttons exist and are already included 95% of the time.

Ironing clothes died long before millennials. Grandma quit ironing before you were born. Wrinkle Free shirts and pants started showing up in the 1970's and were common within the decade.

I definitely have clothes I still need to iron. If I don't iron some of my button downs, they have a lot of wrinkles and look bad.
Hopefully none of you are using suits lol
Suits are only for special occasions, and even then I'm going to get it dry cleaned and they can worry about ironing in the bastard.
Suits and other "nice" clothes are designed to enforce class separation. Reject them. Although you should probably wear them to a funeral or wedding anyway, out of respect.
Idk I like to wear nice clothes. Right clothes for the right occasion of course

I forgot I even had an ironing board in my closet. I haven't needed to use that thing in 10 years.
Steamer game, represent.
Ironing is the only time of the week where I have the time to watch TV or movies. Not that I don't have free time, but I usually spend it in other ways. During ironing, I'm a captive audience. That said, I don't iron all that much. I remember the last season of The Boys took me four months to finish...
I, for one, do like to iron. I'd probably not like it if it was mandatory for all clothing though. What really has happened is societal changes leading to much more casual attire expectations (not that we could afford to dress like previous generations) alongside advancements in textile technology that have resulted in garments less likely to show wrinkles.
Sometimes I iron. Someone mentioned school uniform and yes.
But mainly I look at say a t-shirt and go "Meh" shrug and throw it on. Bang a leather jacket on and nobody knows it's wrinkled and they fall out.
Now we're having our 1 week of summer in the UK I'm having to iron my t-shirts because it's too hot for my jacket, but it's only a week.
as a swede i am legally obligated to vomit at the idea of school uniforms
I hate them too but unfortunately the vast majority of schools require them. It pisses me off how much time and energy is spent enforcing meaningless rules.

I think gen x did that... You're welcome.
If push comes to shove, I sprinkle some water on my clothes and run them in the dryer for a few minutes. The wrinkles are gone.
