Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

What's a dryer sheet, I'm nearly 40 and I've never heard of that
It's a sheet of chemicals that makes your clothes smell better.
Downside is it adds a sort of...coating to clothing which for some types of clothing, like wicking sports apparel, makes them less effective.
They're absolutely useless and when I learned that I stopped using them and there was literally no negative change in my post-laundry output.
That makes me think of crockpot liners, which are apperently a thing
Like, you cook your food, in the plastic. The most pointless thing I've seen.
I suppose it's for people who feel like they are not ingesting enough microplastics.
Gotta get your 5 grams worth!
Savings up for a credit card
Sous vide style slow cooking, vacuumized in a bag, had it's merits as you can't really do it any other way. This, however is a lazy way to avoid cleaning (like using plastic plates to avoid doing the dishes).
Mmmm that plastic bag taste. Just like mom used to make. Until she died of microplastic poisoning.
We aren't there yet but soon. GenX I bet you'll see the first person die directly as a result of micro plastics. Boomers, I think cancer has got them for the most part and I'm confident we will solve that riddle in the next few decades
Slightly related, why does clingfilm smell so strong? I never used it because the taste always went onto whatever I wrapped in it.
If your laundry tends to suffer from a lot of static when you remove it, it can help with that.
What a beautiful phrase, I'm totally gonna nick the term post-laundry output
If I don't use a dryer sheet in the winter, my clothes literally stick to me and it is uncomfortable. The static is crazy. In summer its not an issue.
