My washing machine is making funny noises and I’m this 🤏 close to just throwing it out and washing everything by hand, instead of buying another expensive enshittified product that’s designed to break down in a couple of years.

Washing is easy anyway, the spin cycle to dry that stuff is the important part …

@movq Maybe ask the guys at CERN whether you can quickly put your soaking wet stuff in their Laundry deHumidifying Centrifuge every so often.

@movq my mum, who hand washed clothes for many, many years, would stare at you, incredulously, and tell you, “have fun with that!”. Hand washing a ton of clothes, including sheets, etc., is a royal, glorious, pain! Now drying it, when you live on the land of eternal sunshine, is a different matter.

@bender Naaah, I don’t have a dish washer either, it’ll be fine. 🤣 (No it won’t.)

@lyse That’s a long way to walk! 🤯
