That's another take of mine tbh, if clothes hold obnoxiously visible wrinkles, the fabric is too stiff to be comfortable in my view anyway. I try to avoid buying and wearing anything that needs to be ironed if I can get away with it.

If it isn't sweet to you, you're making it wrong. As some of the other commenters have said, assuming you're talking about Southern style sweet tea, the stuff uses so much sugar that it will not dissolve unless it's added while the water is still hot, like 1 or 2 cups of sugar per gallon of tea was what my family used growing up, but some places will literally cram in double the sugar content of coca cola from what I've heard. Sweetener packets just ain't gonna cut it.

That being said, while I grew up with and love the stuff (though try to drink it only occationally and make it with sucralose now, because it's a truly ridiculous amount of sugar to consume as one's main beverage), I think you'll find your view less unpopular than you think, except among Americans (especially southerners). I remember being surprised to learn growing up from some foreign classmates that it's considered something of an acquired taste, if you didn't grow up with it, there's a pretty decent chance you won't like it, to my understanding.

Mine doesn't even have a detergent door, just a divot to fill with powder before closing. It's one of those countertop ones though, so I guess the available space and complexity was a bit limited.

Folding laundry is a complete waste of time and effort. If it's been through the wash it's clean, it's not going to be any cleaner just because you spent half an hour doing laundry origami.

I don't eat meat at all anymore, but growing up, whenever we had steaks I would always prefer it well done. It wasn't really that I enjoyed it that way though, just that I did not like the flavor and texture of steak even cooked perfectly, my father did and kept making me eat it, and cooking it to a crisp and then covering it with ketchup and paprika was a way to make it not taste like steak anymore.

Thought the guy was working for the Romans maybe?

and not to mention, the tools required to create it (maybe not the best examples, but still) are already in the possession of virtually everybody.

Ive heard nice things about Amsterdam, though there's the obvious caveat that the impression the internet gives of a place is rarely an accurate picture of how a place actually is.

I may be an optimist in some ways, but I honestly expect civilization will persist through "all this". Though of course, that isn't really much comfort considering that doesn't mean that it won't absolutely suck for the people within it all.

Honestly, I don't really believe people are fundamentally much different now than they were before the internet, I think people are just aware of negative events from a wider area now and that things that previously would have gotten blamed on something else get blamed on the internet instead.

Donating cybertrucks almost feels like a way to sabotage the police. Almost.

Is there something that does the reverse? I'm not personally a fan of the look and feel of facial hair (for myself that is), and I find it annoying having to shave all the time only for the hair to come right back before too long.
