Buddy…
- Turn your shirt inside out before putting it in the machine.
- Set the machine to cold water, delicate/gentle cycle.
- The picture you posted is of a dry, hot desert, right? What do you think a machine called a dryer that uses heat will do? Hang them to dry on a cheap rack from Amazon or your shower curtain rod instead.
I have shirts that still look practically new after dozens and dozens of washes.
How do you insert an image like this in comments? I can only get the link to the image to show up. Thanks.
When you post it the image should show up, even if it just looks like a link when typing the comment
In markdown, there is the notation []() for links. Reddit allowed it too for examples, and generally a lot of programs and platforms that have mild text formatting use markdown.
[some text](https://example.org/some-link) will turn into some textLemmy has basically extended this with ![]() which shows the content of the link
 will turn into
Where did that “some text” go? It’s basically the placeholder for when the image is loading or failed to load, the correct term is the alt-text.
The image @[email protected] was asking about uses the text
It has no alt text. Any frontent that has an image upload button or similar will upload the image somewhere, take the link, and put it into your post like this.I hope your frontend renders code-blocks and escapes with backslash (\) correctly, else this may look weird to you.
Do you really think his mom is going to go through all that?
- OP can turn them inside out themselves when they take the shirts off and put them in the dirt clothes hamper.
- You don’t change the settings for every individual article of clothing. You turn the knob or press the button once. This is not hard.
- Hanging stuff up is easier and faster than folding it. The actual drying part is slow though.
What’s “folding”?
Yeah, aren’t you supposed to just dump your clothes into the clean hamper?
For clothes I have 2 rules: 1) If the zipper is not made by YKK, fuck it I don’t need that article 2) I never buy cheap screen printed fabric t shirts. DTG on cotton all the way.
I wash all my band shirts in a washing machine at 40C with only color detergent and no fabric softener. I hang dry the tshirts on hangers instead of folding them over the clothes line or using clothes pins. Absolutely no dryer outside of whatever the washing machine does.
It works pretty well. The real secret is to have about 30 of them so you don’t wash them every week.
Edit: like another commenter said, wash your clothes inside out.
And that “tagless label” is gone after the first wash too.
Doing their best to kill the used clothing market.
The used clothing market hinges on an annoying piece of extra fabric that stabs me in the back of the neck?
Air dry your graphic tees people!
- wash in cold water only
- wash inside out
- air dry
No cracks, no fading. You’re welcome
Or use the dryer on low.
The fact that anyone is using anything higher than low for their clothes is shocking. If your clothes aren’t drying, it means you need to split the load into 2 separate ones, people!
People are wildly impatient about the dumbest things. I’ve been trying to push heat pump dryers because they use like a fourth of the electricity of a standard electric dryer but people don’t want to because it takes slightly longer to dry heavy things like towels. But they have the added benefit of using very little heat because they’re abusing the fact that they are condensers and are making the air very very dry so they don’t need as much heat so they are far gentler on clothing
But they just hard refuse Despite the fact i know for an absolute fact all these people wait fucking hours after dryer is done to collect it or move it around. So it’s a worthless argument
Washing it wrong, check the label, some clothes require specific settings, or need to be inside out
Survival of the fittest
I don’t want weak clothes
Shirt: “warm hand wash please!”
Me, yeeting it into the spin cycle at 60 degrees:
You bought a sht product because you just went after the looks but not of what it was made, where it was made and what quality is has.
Essentially, you are part of the problem of why the earth goes down.
Use your brain not your instincts.
Buddy, this is late stage capitalism. Every product you buy is shit.
Why the negative votes?
Personally I have only a hand full of t-shirts, all made of good 100 percent wool. I rotate them in use and I get maybe two weeks of time each before I have to wash them again because wool is not getting stenchy very fast, is anti bacterial and has a good climate while wearing, be it cold or hot weather. They get washed inside out and with pretty cold water, which is good for the fabric, and dry on air, because that’s energy efficient and also good for the fabric. I have them for like two years now and they look brand new, no pilling, no tears, no nothing. The wool flows and gleams like at the first day. Just. Do. Not. Buy. Trash.
Its like being a billboard but instead you paid the company a days worth of your labor for the right to advertise on behalf of them while they’re paying others for that same service.
They said “a cool design” and nothing at all about any logo or intellectual property. Maybe it’s a sick dragon playing a guitar.
