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.
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 text
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 @Branch_Ranch@lemmy.world 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.
For me it’s the 5th button above the typing field for a reply/comment (bold/italic/link/emoji/“upload image”). There is also the syntax format you can manually do which you can find in the formatting help link. an ! with [] then (url) no spaces (hard to show without the format wanting to change it).
edit: I believe the proper use of “upload image” is if you want to share an image from your device which it uploads onto the lemmy server space, using the url to link to another website also works but there is always the problem of size/format of the image and if that link becomes broken your image won’t show.
I don’t know what’s more sexist. the comment above or the fact you played off of it seriously. Especially with point 1. Like it doesn’t even register that the above comment was an insult and not serious at all and you took that sexist joke to a serious place to play off that men aren’t expected to even be capable to turn a knob and that is somehow acceptable. Do them better than this.
Works both ways though. That was a big point of contention while I was married: if you want special treatment for any item of clothes, it’s up to you to at least turn it inside out and sort it into the “special needs” bin. I’m not reading every label on all the clothes for the entire family.
However she never did. Just complained when it went through the normal wash with hundreds of other items. Who’s your momma now? Your big hairy momma with a beard?
Are women excluded from the group of people whose “mommies do everything for them”? Perhaps commonly, it’s a genuine question.
I do see the thought of it being a mom instead of a dad adheres to traditional gender roles, although I wonder about an individual’s obligation to resist playing into that tradition. I can see it being harmful.
I’m pretty sure they were mocking their lack of responsibility vs saying only women do laundry. It’s the same joke as saying you live in your parents basement.
Needs better rinsing or less soap and good air circulation while drying. It’s still not as good but good frying technique can get pretty close to tumble dry
I actually have a pretty sensitive sense of smell.
The smell is caused by bacteria blooming. If you’re using good detergent, it kills the bacteria. Likewise, soap is bipolar, so one end of the molecule grips the oils you excrete and grime you pick up, and the hydrophilic end gets it all yoinked off during the rinse.
Buddy…

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

Lemmy has basically extended this with ![]() which shows the content of the link

Could use a code block for this:
Depends on which client/website you use.
Do you really think his mom is going to go through all that?
What’s “folding”?
Yeah, aren’t you supposed to just dump your clothes into the clean hamper?
Something people on message boards did back in the early 2000s where we left our computers on and cured cancer.
Origami.

I hate the way hanged shirts feel, so stiff and wrinkly
It’s even worse when they were innocent
Oooh.
And somehow even more dry
It’s worse when they are somehow wet at the same time.

Followed these instructions. I have started a grease fire.
You need to use peanut oil. Olive oil flash point too low
Tiny little bit of vinegar in the wash water? Read that tip for towels.
Yeah but how do they smell 👀
He ain’t say “bruh don’t even wash them”.
They don’t nose.

Just fyi the term for molecules with hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions is amphipathic not bipolar.
How did we get onto the subject of homophobic amphibians?
😂😂😂
Even just hang drying will do wonders. Also for your budget. That’s like 5 dollars a week saved.
It’s amazing how much it costs to use dryers. At least with California’s energy prices.
