1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Hey everyone, when drying your clothes, especially shirts and tshirts and hoodies whatnot, hang them to dry on hangers! You avoid silly creases mid way up the shirts, and the wetness stretches and draws the fabric a little so they straighten out better.
I take clothes drying seriously, this is the proper way.
Clothers are heavier when wet, and putting shirts, hoodie etc on a hanger risk stretching out the shoulders over time (especially with heavy fabric, bulk, or knitwear).
Upside-down will still stretch them out but at the bottom where it may not impact the shape as much so it's better. More pins around the bottom means a more even stretch.
When I have space I like hanging them over the width of two or three lines so they're laying flat in the middle and get two shallow L-shaped creases instead of one deep V-shaped - the L-creases are barely noticeable in comparison.
A more involved option is to rearrange (move a little bit so they crease at a different spot, four L-creases are basically invisible), or even move them to hangers, when they're halfway dry.
Drying is no joke!
I was wondering about that, normally my wife makes me hang her shirts from the very bottom hanging upside down for dear life to avoid that. But then I was thinking if there are hangers with like a carabiner top that can lock onto the cable so the wind doesn't spin them off
Grab a standard wooden hanger and just uunscrew and replace the hook
Lots of variations of anti-theft hangers have that kind of fixed loop feature.
oh like at hotels and stuff
Ayup. Tshirts and hoodies on hangers, underpants and woolen jackets on the clotheshorse, pants and towels and bedding on the clothes line.
Except in winter, i use my awesome concentric hangers then
I don't get no creases on shirts?
And hoodies obviously on the hanger, too big for the rack.
Avoiding creases on clothes using a dryer is super easy. All it requires is taking them out as soon as they are dry, while still hot, and then hanging them up immediately after that.
If you let them sit in the dryer too long or put them in a drawer they will have creases
I live in the UK and do this more so that I can sodding sprint out when summer decides to end 30 minutes after blazing sunshine and then it rains for 40 days and 40 nights
