Oh hey! It's that thing I use to put on decals and melt perler beads!

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 20 points 4 days ago

It's the thing I use to apply edge trim on chipboard counter tops.

[-] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Love that adjustable Rowenta steam powered edge bander!

No that's clearly the tool for waxing snowboard

No, the boomers with all their magic environment poisoning synthetic fabrics with antiwrinkle coatings did. The next seven generations will have microplastics in every part of their body, but I haven't touched an iron in a while.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

This stuff was invented and worn by the parents and grandparents of boomers. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean a boomer was involved.

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago

Wrinkles are so in right now

Yup, and honestly, looking at the particular takes Gen-X'ers had when they/we were in charge of the culture, this is completely unsurprising.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

I iron only when I need to wear a suit and be presentable. This is less than once a year

If only we didn't do that by moving to fabrics that throw off microplastics

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 3 days ago

idk about you but my tshirts are just made of cotton

[-] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago

I just put everything on a hanger and gravity gets rid of the wrinkles

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Two options for dealing with wrinkles:

  1. Wet a washcloth or small towel, place both the wrinkled item and the wet item in a dryer and turn the dryer on low-heat for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Hang the item on a clothes hanger in the bathroom and take a steaming hot shower.

There is a third option: wear wrinkly clothes and dgaf.

[-] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

i mean, i just put it on the hanger straight out the dryer and then the wrinkles never develop

[-] Lizardking27@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Or just iron them.

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Rubbing damp hands over wrinkled shirt.

Well, that's ironed enough.

Does nobody here wear shirts to work?

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 18 points 3 days ago

Bro this is Lemmy

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 3 days ago

Dress shirts might need a little buffing up, or you can use a steamer. But most of my cotton shirts don't need ironing at all.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

If you hang them up straight out of the dryer, you don't need to iron them. Though that might depend on what kind of shirt you have. I specifically buy the no iron ones.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

I don't have a dryer, but I just hang them up to dry on the clothes hanger. Probably works even better, since the weight of the water pulls them straight.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

Yes, and they're wrinkled as fuck.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 days ago

And fortunately, nobody cares.

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago

I feel like all the wrinkles disappear 5 seconds after wearing my Clothing snyways

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I know the fucks I give disappear about that quickly.

Glad I did my part.

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 days ago

That's what the dryer is for

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago

My mum would iron everything. Then I moved out a few years ago. I still do not own a clothes iron.

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

My mum used to iron my boxers.

[-] Swarfega@lemm.ee 10 points 4 days ago

I used to know someone that wore a suit to work but he never took his jacket off. Reason being is he only ironed the front part of his shirt.

[-] kurwa@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

I personally like to steam my stuff, I hate wrinkles too much.

[-] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I have a mister I use to spray down plants or my frogs to get rid of wrinkles

[-] kurwa@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

What do you mean by frogs?

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Wait you like wrinkly frogs?
