Buddy...
I have shirts that still look practically new after dozens and dozens of washes.
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
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
Lemmy has basically extended this with ![]() which shows the content of the link
 will turn into
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.
Well explained!
If the above comment looks funky, view a copy here.
Thank you, Good explanation
If you are on the correct website, you may have a
view sourcebutton, so you can see themarkdownsource everyone writes to form their post.Depends on which client/website you use.
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.
Could use a code block for this:
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 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?
My assumption was the joke was that OP's mom does their laundry for them as if is OP was a child, not that women are constrained to doing laundry. It's not like I didn't clock the joke. The kernel of truth was the idea that doing those 3 things might be a pain to do, and even my partner complained about having to be careful with certain clothing when I taught her how to do the laundry (which I still primarily do), but it's good for people to have these skills, regardless of gender. On the flip side, she stopped complaining when she realized how much longer her clothing lasts now.
Also, my parents divided chores up, and my mom was in charge of the laundry while my dad did the cooking growing up because they each preferred doing those chores. Had nothing to do with gender, but maybe that's why I didn't immediately consider the assumption that somebody's mother does their laundry as sexist. Sometimes, it's just like that.
On the topic of you making wild assumptions about another's thought process (unless you're a mind reader, and I missed that), I was carrying on to say with my comment that OP should do all that. Not their mother.
Assuming traditional roles to cramp on a sexist joke is sexist. You played a part in how you interacted with it even ignoring it, tagging onto it. Backpeddling just makes it worse. You should probably stop while you’re ahead
Sorry, I haven't had somebody jump to the worst possible conclusion about what I meant for the sake of being argumentative and flexing their moral superiority in a public space since college, so I'm a little out of practice here.
Please stop telling me what I think after I corrected you. That's gaslighting. Additionally, as a nonbinary person, I also don't appreciate a stranger forcing their paradigm of gender roles onto me like that. Please check yourself.
Nobody light a match this strawperson argument is getting real big in here.
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.
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.
Tiny little bit of vinegar in the wash water? Read that tip for towels.
That's what the "Fluff" cycle on the dryer is for.
I went to the store to buy a candle holder, but they didn't have one... So I bought a cake.
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.
We hang dry most of my wife’s stuff because it’s more delicate, hand made garments and such, but even that takes up two of those foldable hanging rack things. If we did all mine too we’d have no room to walk in our apartment. Just another way it costs more to be poor.
Yeah but how do they smell 👀
He ain’t say “bruh don’t even wash them”.
They don't nose.
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.
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?
