Bad case of Irritable Towel Syndrome
These "compressed towel tablets" are about 2cm across in diameter, and not pill sized as this picture implies, and are closer to wet wipes than actual, fluffy towels.
Still useful cleaning at music festivals though.
2cm has to be too small. Surely they wouldn't be useful that way
I believe they're saying the pills are 2cm. It would be bigger once expanded
Ah, that went right over my head
what the actual fuck? Capitalism is so weird đź’€
What does capitalism have to do with this?
Thanks, Obama
You’re welcome
There's a frood who really knows where his towel is.
Disposable towels? Single use compressed Towels?
the endless focus on consumption with no reuse, the usage of resources?
It’s for hikers who need to be careful about how much weight they carry. They can also be used like wet wipes.
Skill issue, tbh.. If you can't afford the extra grams for two small towels, then you need to get a little bit more stamina.
I used these things in my edc kit. It’s not about the weight, it’s about the space, and they’re really only ever used in emergencies. I wouldn’t say they’re a good product though.
Needlessly using disposable stuff for hiking is like driving a coal-rolling Diesel truck into the mountains to enjoy the pristine nature.
Weight or volume? Technically a compressed object weighs the same as uncompressed, ex. a sheet of paper
Name one communist country that has towel pills.
Vietnam.
They didn't understand, saw an inaccurate meme, and wanted to bitch over a use case they don't understand. I'm not sure what do complicated about the modern lemmy lurker.
What does this have to do with capitalism?
if you have to put then in water to expand then what if you want a dry towel?
Well if you're trying to dry off then you wouldn't put the towel in water first, you'd start drying off with the little tablet and by the end it'll be a full, wet towel.
I didn't think of that lol
That's cool
You've packed the wrong towel
I mean you can wipe up a spill with a damp cloth, and it even works better than a dry cloth often
Is this how cottonmouth happens?
