        I grew up in poverty wearing air dried clothes every day of my childhood. One of the biggeat things i looked foward to soon as I started living my adult lif ena dpaying own own way was using the dryer like any normal sane person.

    I’ve literally never hung clothes out to dry without at least one item getting shat on by a bird. Is this not a universal problem?

    Wait a few years and the state of US economics will make this problem nonexistent: most Americans wouldn’t even have electro-mechanical dryers.

    that works wonders when you live in a hot, dry place. i’m back living in my hometown in northeastern brazil after spending 13 years in southern brazil, which is cold and damp 9 months of the year. since i’ve arrived i used the dryer only once. but back there it was hard to let them dry out in the air. you either used the dryer or accumulated dirty clothes, up to the point you were left without clean clothes and with a big potential rat nest.
