Washing Machine vs Dryer

[betao]

Which one is better?

[leo01g]

i fucking hate dryers. It shrinks your clothes

[theburiedlife]

It's a pain in the ass to wash clothes without machine, it's not hard to dry without one.

[TonyWonder]

Dryer, I barely even knew her.

...but yeah, fuck the dryer.


buriedlife, nice avatar - love that album..they should get back together.

[theburiedlife]

Yeah thanks, we're forming a Grandaddy for 2009 coalition in the wish list section.

Definitely the washing machine.

[ivankay]

damn, i picked dryer without checking out what the rest of you had to say. When i voted and saw the results, my initial thought was a bunch of girls liked the shake of an overloaded machine. How wrong was i about the ease provided by the washer and how easy it is to hang clothes.

i picked the dryer first because of that joy on a cold day when you take freshly dried clothes out and get to hold all that warmth. That is one of the greatest things ever, but i would like to change my vote to avoid having to beat my clothes on a rock.

gayps, if there were ever Coachella Board awards, you would definitely be nominee and a favorite for "Best Photo Responses" or something like that.

haha cheers. The question struck me when I was doing laundry earlier today. Shit, come to think of it, I have yet to get my clothes out of the dryer.

anyone thats done the washing machine knows it owns...

It's moments like this that I remember what the internet is for.

God bless you, gaypalmsprings. Magnificent.

Wow, Washing Machine is stomping face in this Poll....

[Hannahrain]

I am torn. While the washing machine is absolutely all it's cracked up to be, I feel that the dryer deserves more credit than it's been given. First, what Ivankay said about the clothes on a cold day. Absolutely that. But also, for slovenly individuals like myself who sometimes neglect folding clothes and leave them on the floor instead, the dryer can be a lifesaver in making something look presentable at the last minute.

I think it says everything you need to know about us here that this poll is, and will be, a more intense and eloquently argued discussion than anything about politics, world events or climate change.

[MissingPerson]

Also, Washing Machine FTW!

[Hannahrain]

I think I might be more likely to instantly declare the washing machine as my favorite if I had a front-loading one where I could watch the clothing spin. But as things are, it's just a big white box that I put clothes in and then I close it and then it grumbles. I can't trust it. How do I know it's really washing anything? I don't. There could be like a tiny person in there that does all the work and the machine is taking all the credit. Until either machine proves to me that it's worthy of my loyalty, I will not vote.

I have a washer-dryer, thus disproving Creationism

[Hannahrain]

I'm now torn again. This time, not between appliances, but in deciding whether this post should be about the topic at hand or whether it should be blatant lobbying for you to be my best friend. I guess I will meet myself halfway and post this.

[MissingPerson]

We can be washer-dryer buddies! And we'll be so happy! Because we can be both sparkly clean and cosy warm!

And people will look on us in wonder - for we are the future.

[gaypalmsprings]

Gynocologists say that women prefer the agitator action of the washer 3 to 1 over the dryer's moist, warm air vent.

[MissingPerson]

I doubt your sources, sir. I demand to see the research!

[MissingPerson]

I just can't stop looking at this picture. What do these people tell their relatives they do for a living? Is their job cooler or lamer than mine, on balance? How do they describe this on their resumé?

The mind boggles. Gaypalmsprings, you have blown my mind wide open.

[miscorrections]

I wish my job was Halloween.

[full on idle]

I voted before I read this thread, and I am beside myself. The dryer is so clearly, so, so clearly superior. It makes things WARM and SOFT. Thousands of generations cleaned clothes without washing machines, what SEPARATES us from the past is the POWER to dry a bedspread, a sleeping bag, fuck it, your COAT in 45 minutes. People. Please. Get it together. Civilization.

This is a very good point. Your dryer can also serve as an emergency ironer when it comes to freshening up your clothes at the last minute.

[theburiedlife]

You know what makes things warm and good smelling? The sun...

[betao]

That takes too much time. Dryer > Sun. Unless you believe in conserving energy.
