Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil
its so wild like “this generation with no fucking money is learning to prioritize essentials” and all these chucklefucks can write is advertisements for these companies
at least our jeans won’t tear at the seams after two washes
FUCK FABRIC SOFTENER IT’S UTTERLY POINTLESS
AND FUCK DRYER SHEETS LITERALLY NOBODY EVER HAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM WITH STATIC TO WARRANT PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR THAT SHIT
DO YOU WANT CLEAN CLOTHES? YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO BUY FUCKING DETERGENT JUST MAKE YOUR OWN* IT’S SO GODDAMN EASY AND 80X CHEAPER
FUCK THE ENTIRE LAUNDRY INDUSTRY
*Fuck The Entire Laundry Industry Recipe
1 cup Washing Soda (not Baking Soda. Different things.)
1 cup Borax (not Boric Acid. Also a different thing.)
½ cup – 1 cup grated bar soap (you can use literally anything. I often use Ivory because it’s easy to get and I find it works well, a lot of people like Fels-Naptha, which is an actual laundry bar. Some people use Dr. Bronner’s. Really does not fucking matter.)
After grating your soap, combine all ingredients. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Use maybe a ¼ cup per load.
^^^ I’ve done this for years now and it works as well as any store bought detergent
WHAT Thank you, tumblr user awfullydull! Your URL does no justice to the good advice you give!
Also you can MAKE your own washing soda very VERY cheaply.
Step one: acquire $5 bag of baking soda from Costco.
Step two: lay that motherfucking baking soda out on a baking tray.
Step three: bake the baking soda on a tray in an oven at 400° for 1 hour (to make the moisture evaporate, leaving washing soda)
Step four: revel in how easy and cheap it is to make your own washing soda, and maybe take a moment to be angry that the industry upcharges the fuck out of something that is so easy to make.
I see some of y’all complaining about static and/or wanting nice smelling laundry. Go to a craft store, find 100% wool yarn balls. If it doesn’t come in a ball, ask an employee to make it into a tight ball for you. Wash in the washing machine to make it felted. Remove from washer, add a few drops of essential oil to the ball, allow to seep in. Dry with clothing. Doesn’t need to be rewashed ever, and if it stops smelling, add few more drops of essential oil. Bam, reusable dryer sheets.
I love this post so much it’s filled with helpful advice, hatred, saving money, and fucking the system all in one
I use homemade laundry soap, and I have been advised that you do need to occasionally run a load with regular laundry detergent. Some people report buildup of things that make their clothes feel and smell a little weird. From what I understand, it’s because homemade laundry soap is just that—soap—and not detergent. And detergent has useful properties when it comes to clothing, like not leaving any residue like soap does. So I do about one load in ten with regular laundry detergent, and the rest of the time, I use my homemade stuff. But absolutely, try the homemade laundry soap! For the grated bar soap, you can get Zote or Fels Naptha from most big grocery stores and places like Walmart and Target.
Just imagine Steve has banned the two from doing crazy late night shopping sprees so they try different ways of sneaking out to do it and in the morning when Steve wakes up for his early morning runs he finds a passed out tony and Clint surrounded by random things each time with McDonald’s, coffee and candy spread around them.
2.) give up because tarantulas behave in mysterious ways… perhaps they are molting. perhaps they are responding to ley lines.
Things I have learned from my rancho:
1.) There is Good Dirt and there is Bad Dirt. I am not smart enough to tell the difference, but it is very important.
2.) Some crickets are for eating. Some crickets are for ignoring. Some crickets are just for playing tag with all night, apparently.
3.) “Why are you hanging from the ceiling? You’re a terrestrial species!” “I do as he commands, the voice of the night, the beast of eternal darkness!” “Well, stop that. You’ll hurt yourself.”
4.) Some days, it’s a good day to molt. SIKE! That day will never come. Just months of teasing and fake outs.
5.) Having wet toes is a violation of one’s personal rights.
