this just gives me validation for my technique of use a wet sock (in place of ice cubes) which the GF doesn't give enough credit to

[@kkui8635]

Lol that's pretty smart 🤣

[@kylienkate]

Going to try the wet sock. Thank you!

[@ivoryusagi]

Did it work? 😊

You know, when I subscribed to NPR on UA-cam, this is EXACTLY the kind of journalism I was hoping to see. Thanks :/

[@OurayTheOwl]

Neat, but are the ice cubes necessary since driers already have settings for this exact purpose

[@question422]

well depends on the age of the dryer, I personally just use a wet sock with the same results

[@droppingflames8097]

Mine doesn't lol

Irons and toasters are energy hogs.

[@blackberry9311]

Does it work?

Thanks for sharing buddy

That is if you want to put ice cubes in your possibly electric dryer.

[@NawImNate]

So… you don’t have WET clothes in your dryer ever?

[@MeanMustard650]

You probably felt real smug haha

[@yesanarmy]

I can't my clothes are dry cleaned 😭

[@carnyzack]

So your life hack is to use 5-8x more energy by running your dryer instead of ironing your clothes? What an economical and sustainable solution!
When did NPR become Buzzfeed?

[@nomaderic]

They literally said "if you don't have an iron" I dont have an iron and even if I did I wouldn't have anywhere to use it. I do have access to dryers everywhere though.

[@howdareyouexist]

watch the video again and actually listen 🤡

Haha! You care about saving energy! You’re poor. (Nelson from Simpsons)

Why are we getting these poorly produced TikToks from NPR?

There are two types of people: those who care about carbon emissions and do nothing, and those who do not care about carbon emissions and show it in all possibly ways.

[@EricJohnsonGuru]

Why are you assuming his electric dryer causes carbon emissions? Maybe it is powered by hydro or renewables?

[@Torrent263]

Yet you're using a phone that has cobalt in it, which was extracted from a third world country from a minor and will develop lung cancer. Get off your high horse Karen.
